My card was charged in Aug 2017 for a bike I ordered in Aug 2017 and received in Dec 2017. Which is exactly what I expected to happen, and Juiced was totally transparent that this is what would happen. If you're expecting anything else to happen, you're likely to be disappointed. You appear to...

Yes, you can use the same charger (Cycle Satiator) or a different one (I use the Luna charger) with other batteries to charge to less than 100%. There's more info a few posts earlier on this thread.

The CrossCurrent S was first produced and shipped late last summer (I just missed the first generation CCS and therefore received my bike in December 2017 instead of September 2017 when the 1st gen's got theirs). Perhaps you saw the original CrossCurrent? You're right, I missed that you were...

There are many other potential answers: 1. It's not an assembly line product after all. This is small-batch manufacturing measured in hundreds at a time. The CCS is less than a year old and wasn't even done being designed when people were pre-ordering last summer. The RCS is even newer. It's not...

I'm not offended. The whole reason I asked here is that I'm disappointed in my reaction and realize I was foolish to let myself get engaged like that. Live and learn.

Thanks for the group therapy, everyone. I will try harder to stay on the high (and mouth shut) road the next time this happens.

I guess the thing that caught me off-guard is that in the past, when someone has said to me "that's cheating" or "taking the easy way out" or whatever, they're doing it more as an joking ice-breaker, not an insult. Usually it's from someone who's actually curious about e-bikes. I've had a number...

Yeah, I guess I need to resist my urge to advocate for acceptance of e-bikes. I suppose that's not the time or place to do it. Interesting on the bell. I also have a bell on this bike but am having trouble breaking my old habit of "on your left".

So I had my first truly negative interaction with a biker yesterday while riding my e-bike. :-( I commute to work (22 miles round trip) and in order to make it an everyday thing, this year I started doing this on a Juiced CrossCurrent S. This is a class 3 e-bike but I electronically limit it to...

Yes, that works well on the other end, if you're not trying to make a 2nd 4-pin XLR connector. :-) No solderless 4-pin XLR connectors, unfortunately.

I tried and failed at the soldering approach. :-) I suck at soldering and have little patience, and I destroyed that same $5 Amazon 4-pin XLR connector. Part of the issue was that I was trying to replicate what the stock connector has, where each wire was soldered to 2 of the pins, which, after...

What I've quickly learned is that measuring voltage is an imprecise process anyhow, so once you get into the decimals you're really just looking at an illusion. You'll notice the readout on the bike jumps around quite a bit. My Luna charger is also wiggly - I'll charge to 80% and it'll cutoff at...

The 18650 cells have a max charge rating of 4.2V and a min charge of 3.0V before the IC shuts the cell down. So, 3.96V represents an 80% charge. So, my 48V battery (13s) is at 80% charge at 3.96 x 13 = 51.48V, which is what the chart says. For your 52V battery, if it also uses 18650s, that's...

How'd you do the calculation? I've been trying to figure this out myself. It would depend on the discharge curve of the specific pack used in the battery, right?

FYI in my experience the low voltage cutoff setting of 42 actually acts like a cutoff of 43 (I think it's cutting off at 42.99999 - see earlier thread on this topic). If you start to experience cutout or chugging earlier than you think you should, try setting the low voltage cutoff to 41 and see...

Great idea! Will give that a try this weekend. Thanks!

Surpassed 300 miles on the CCS this season so far so here's a review. I always appreciate when people post reviews after having spent some time with the thing they're reviewing, so I thought I'd give back. Overall, it's been great! It's a game-changer for me in terms of keeping me out of the...

@LS3Miata Yeah, I couldn't quite place where the voice came from but glad I didn't imagine it. I was probably pegged at 20mph (my speed limit setting most of the time). I'll pay more attention next time I go through there. :-) It's slightly less direct than going straight down the Greenway to...

One reason I suggest you join is that we may coordinate meetups through that group. Also, Jeff is recruiting for people to be on the TV news. :-)

I almost bought one last night. I probably will eventually buy one, I definitely notice the bumps a lot more at the higher speeds.
