So how can you so sure it’s not an issue with the battery depletion over time? Do you have an estimate of approximately how many times the battery has been charged to 100%? I have the same size battery and rarely charge it over 80%. There’s no way I could get 40 miles even on the eco setting...

Does the display shut off when you lose power?

It looks like you have a step-thru frame with a 10.4ah battery. I have an original Cross Current with the same size battery. Mine is upgraded with the 20A CCS controller. There’s no way I can go 20-30 miles on 3/S mode with that battery installed. I’d be lucky to get 15 miles with a fully...

Interesting to read this. I had the same sort of issue with the 17.4ah battery on my Cross Current cutting out. I could also hear arcing if I wiggled the battery. I’ve been riding around with my smaller 10.4ah battery for the past few months for this reason. I spent a couple hours trying to get...

I think in one of the EBR videos Tora said he dropped the seat tube 1” on the CCS so that it can better accommodate a suspension seatpost.

I had my rear wheel trued at a local bike shop and got rid of most of the side-to-side wobble. If you use the throttle on the bike stand it looks like it has some vertical hop but I don’t notice it while riding the bike. And I’ve got over 10k miles on my Cross Current.

Does it use a carbon fiber steerer tube? Specialized had a big recall on its road bikes a few years back due to improperly supported carbon fiber steerer tubes.

Scientific studies done to compare the safety of a 28mph e-bike vs a 20mph e-bike? Good luck finding that one. It’s not just the impact velocity that matters either. It’s that lower speed differentials give a car approaching you from behind more time to see you and react. Here’s a quote from...

Do you understand the concept of speed differential? A car is approaching you from behind. Say the’yre going 40mph. If you are going 20mph the speed differential is 20mph. If you are going 28mph the speed differential is 12mph. If there was a collision which one do you think results in higher...

Well technically the speed differential would be lower if you got hit going 28mph vs. 20mph so you’d probably be better off...But my experience is that when speed differentials get to about ~5mph cars start to treat you like another vehicle and yield to you as they approach from behind. I have...

I have an Onguard Brute too but I end up using the Mini-7 the vast majority of the time. It’s lighter, easier to carry around and use. I don’t have any issues with getting the mini-7 through the rear wheel and frame.

Yes.

I just bungee mine to my MTX rack. It can’t slide out forward (not enough room) and the bungee keeps it from sliding backwards. I’ve hit bumps big enough to bottom out my suspension seat post and never had any issues. The bungee “hooks” behind the silver u-lock mount bit to keep it from sliding...

They’ve outsourced the charging and maintenance to the gig economy. They use public infrastructure paid for by tax revenue (which the riders pay.) On the tech side of things the marginal cost of adding additional scooters is essentially zero once the app and backend was developed. Sure they...

I’ve used the ride share scooters quite a bit. They are super convenient for shorter 2-3 mile trips although part of the convenience comes down to not needing to worry about locking them up at your destination. They feel perfectly safe to me up to about 20mph. I can’t imagine going 25+mph on...

Is that a 29” pant inseam or your actual inseam measurement? If it’s your real inseam than the step-thru Cross Current S would be a better option if you can find one.

@youth does a 16 mile one-way commute and he was charging to 100% twice per day fives days per week on his original Cross Current (which has less power than the CCS/X). He burned out his first 10.4ah battery in a year and was on his way to burning out a second 12.8aH battery when he upgraded to...

My range numbers were for my original Cross Current with the 840wH battery so they probably aren’t comparable to the more powerful CCX. IME, once you get below 25% battery the bike gets really sluggish. It actually starts to struggle to make it up a modest hill and I’ve heard CCS owners complain...

I thought mine was defective because it kept beeping. I live in an apartment so I didn’t want it beeping in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. But I realized it only beeps when you touch/move the bike. So if the bike is sitting static it doesn’t chirp.

I would get one of these lights but I’m still on the original King Meter display on my OG CC with CCS controller installed. I’m not sure if it will work since the display controls the light output on the controller and the King Meter has no way to control that. I have two LCD displays from...
