Thanks, that’s exactly what I posted it for, though I haven’t gotten any inquiries yet. I’d be thrilled to get that much back.

Hello, just wanted to know if anyone had experience selling their Juiced bike. I have a 2020 CrossCurrent X, size Large, with less than 600 miles, and since I moved I no longer need it for commuting. It's in excellent condition, always garaged, and no damages/crashes. Kept the battery...

Thanks! In that case, I'd personally only go with the extender (once they're out), since carrying the battery would be a serious inconvenience, not to mention I'd want it padded up pretty well so that it's not jostling about. Lastly, in a group ride (I usually do 30-50 miles), the social...

Balinus, what do you have now? I use my new Juiced CCX with the massive battery, and am usually going anywhere from 18-26mph on my roundtrip commute of 16.2 miles. It's a rear hub motor so that probably affects the comparison w the Giant bikes. I usually go with Level 2 or 3, and occasionally I...

What's the consideration between having a second battery vs the range extender? Price, benefit, etc?

Keep us posted, Steve. I'm a fan of Giant, but feel like the Revolt E+ could have been made to be more versatile. I doubt most buyers will be getting as may batteries as you are, so it will be interesting to see how you utilize it.

Definitely what I would do if I had lots of money. But I don’t, so trying to make the most of my dollar.

Yes, did you try what I wrote above? It works.

Congrats! Yup, so you need to pull on the light fixture itself in the opposite direction, to give it tension, while you tighten the nut. You can get it pretty snug that way.

Thanks for the tips about the heel strike. I’d hoped someone would chime in about that. I think one of the Ortlieb mounts gives an angle that helps prevent it, but I haven’t used it in a real world situation.

That looks preferable to me in terms of size and weight, did you find you just needed more leverage?

I think I saw that, is it worth getting?

Rad appears to be the leader in this field. If they had a generic class 3 commuter, I’d have gladly gone that route. It is ridiculous That they threaded it differently! Some strange story behind the scenes there. Hmm, I have got an REI 25 minutes away, and I think I may just got that route...

Just got back from a short recovery ride. I changed the settings to turn off the torque sensor, and yes, this is the answer for me. For whatever reason it is a much more natural amount of assist, especially when I’m going up an incline. With the torque sensor on and I’m spinning consistently...

So they’re moving in the right direction, thanks for sharing your experience, Bruce. With regard to flying batteries, that is pretty terrifying. My battery fits so tight there is absolutely no visual or auditory indication that it’s locked in. when I pull on it, it doesn’t come out, but...
