So far I have not tested to zoom cutoffs. The original brakes have a two pin female connector going to the male connector from the controller. The zoom brakes have a two pin male connector leaving the brake. I would shop longer to find a brake with a two pin female leaving the brake if I were...

I want to confess to making a mistake on ordering the brakes for my RCS. I didn't bother to undo the bundling coils to trace the brake cutoff to a connection to check the pin set. Instead, I simply pulled the wire and thought I had the right one, and it wasn't. Whatever brand of brakes are on...

I've replaced the pads a number of times and rotors but this time one of the pistons blew a seal. Being as I was itching to upgrade and the brakes are low end and have 25K on them and due new pads and front rotor... it's a great time to replace them. I appreciate the info. I ride a pretty...

I lost a seal in my front caliper today. I've gone through a number of pads but have no idea what brand of brakes are on the bike. They have no name and I have no idea what seal I need or if it can be had. I've often considered upgrading the brakes and now seems a great time. I ordered a...

I bought a used Napune Aquila that only had 300 miles on it. My thought was to rob parts. It is a Juiced frame and mostly Juiced parts. Instead of robbing from it, it has been my ride when my RCS is down. It has the 750 motor and a 5 pin sensor. It really isn't similar enough to rob from...

An update on my RCS to share. The new sensor was working great when I had a flat with just a couple of hundred miles use. I changed the tube out for another on the side of the highway. When I tightened the wheel back into the frame I heard a pop. Maybe it was my haste or maybe it was one too...

I appreciate everyone's input. I took a gamble and bought another sensor from the same guy that I bought the last one from. It wasn't his fault but that sensor never worked right. I thought I had replaced it needlessly and I managed to pull a wire out of the original sensor when I removed it...

Thanks.. the pins are there. I never knew they were there until I replaced the motor. I'm sure they are there for some good reason. Freaked me out when my new motor showed up and I saw those little pins. I thought I had ordered the wrong thing.

I do appreciate the suggestion. I've not tried using a conductive jelly at the connections but they all take great effort to pull apart and I see no bent pins. I disabled the brake motor cutoffs just in case one was adjusted so close to no brake in use that it gave a false shutoff to the motor...

Thanks for the well wishes. The problem is not the controller. It acts the same with the original controller. It seemed a bit sluggish but that's the difference between the sensor reads of the two controllers. I rode three quick miles. At least it was sensing my pedaling most of the time...

I experienced brief power lulls last fall and replaced the cadence/torque sensor with an after market sensor from a guy on Juiced fb group. It seemed to fix my problem and then it acted up again. I put the original controller back on the bike at that point but the bike was still cutting out...

I may have come to the end of putting miles on my RCS. I put a bit over 4k on my 2019 750w bike before selling it and today I ran out of assist on my 2023 1000w love of my life at 23,864 miles. I ordered the bike and the newly offered upgraded controller July of 23 and installed the upgrade at...

With so few miles and only six months ownership, I would seek assistance from Juiced. I've not dealt with them on anything major but my few minor problems were quickly addressed. 1 (888) 303-8889 The reps are friendly and seem to care. The worst scenario would be they tell you that you are...

Though I don't use the feature, I tested it when I first got my RCS 19 and when I got the new 23. I upgraded the controller and tested that as well. It behaved just as it should with all three controllers. I'd contact Juiced support if you plan on using the cruise feature. It should not be...

I never drink and ride. I rarely ride over 40 miles and I rehydrate when I get home. I mow lawns commercially for 4 to 5 hours a day and I don't drink anything while working either. I don't advocate that it's a healthy practice but it has never bothered me and I'm in my seventies.
