    Trying to decide between DIY and Juiced CrossCurrent S

    So if I needed to, I could replace the electronic parts with off the shelf components?

    Trying to decide between DIY and Juiced CrossCurrent S

    Understood - I think it would be more reasonable then to focus on 24-25mph, and buy an extra battery if it comes to that? I've edited my original post. I'm still trying to decide on the CCS or building my own - I'm mainly concerned about maintenance, as the nearest e-bike specific shop is 25mi...

    Trying to decide between DIY and Juiced CrossCurrent S

    Key things I'm looking for: • Capable of higher speeds if needed (e.g. 28mph), cruising speeds would realistically be closer to 23-25mph • High range. My in-town needs are 10-20mi round trip, but there's lots of places I'd like to try the e-bike for that are 30-50mi round trip, especially as I...

    Multipurpose ebike, looking for advice

    Got the bike and have tried it out for a bit. Speed is still locked to Euro limits until the shop gets the tool shipped in, so the assist drops out around 17mph. It's difficult to get the bike much above 17-18mph on flat regardless because the sprocket on the hub is a little large, resulting in...

    Multipurpose ebike, looking for advice

    I'm not sure on the battery - I actually missed that it came in different capacities, so I'll find out when it comes in. It does come with the Impulse 2 and the rest though! The drive was very quiet, not as much as the Panasonic on the Neo Offroad I tried, but definitely quieter than the E3 Peak...

    Multipurpose ebike, looking for advice

    Reporting in - I tried out the Neo bikes, but unfortunately they still had the same "too much assist even in Eco" feel that the Dash did (though not as extreme), and most of the Easy Motion models have a higher-than-normal height that cuts into my crotch when standing still (which I wasn't...

    Multipurpose ebike, looking for advice

    Got a chance to test ride the E3 Dash and E3 Peak yesterday. I was especially impressed with the Dash, now I understand what people mean when they say 'torquey' or 'zippy'. It handled the relatively mild hills (compared with the foothills) like they weren't even there. In fact, my main issue is...

    Multipurpose ebike, looking for advice

    I'm looking for a general purpose ebike, as I don't own a car or driver's license. I currently own a decent mountain bike that serves my needs, but I like to hike and biking up the (mostly paved / well maintained dirt) hills and canyons to the trailheads is annoying. It's also a bit tiring...
