    Crosscurrent Air: Eight Months Later (Short Review)

    Howdy folks. I bought a Crosscurrent Air last summer. I was in the early August 2017 delivery batch, right after they slightly upgraded the battery. This was also the last batch where the throttle was a paid option rather than included. I did opt for the throttle, along with the torque...

    Have you heard about Eon e-kickscooter?

    The Indiegogo Eon Scooter campaign is still "officially" alive, but it ain't looking good. Some facts about this campaign: 1. They've missed four of their own production deadlines. And recently it became clear that their previous claimed production dates were fraudulent because they didn't...

    Have you heard about Eon e-kickscooter?

    I think that the Eon Scooter is not only a scam, I think it's a pretty obvious and audacious scam. First, the scooter you see on their Indiegogo page? That isn't even the scooter they're offering! It's blatant and brazen misrepresentation. Their initial pitch said that the scooter prototype...

    Turbo: The World's First $249 Electric Fat Bike

    Just about ANYTHING on Indiegogo immediately strikes me as having "trust and safety issues". :D

    Suggested multispeed pedelec for under $1500?

    Yes, I purchased the larger frame. Although right at 6'0, either the medium or large frame will work perfectly well. It sorta comes down to personal preference. I almost wish I had gotten the medium frame instead, but that's only because my previous non-electric bike was more like the...

    Throttle vs. Pedal Assist

    I have a throttle on my Juiced CrossCurrent Air (with torque sensor), and I'm glad I have it. But in all honesty, I never use it. That's because I almost always ride in "Sport" mode (power level 5 of 5), and when you start from a dead stop the power kicks in quickly and strongly. In a high...

    Thoughts on CrossCurrent Air?

    Another happy CrossCurrent Air owner here. Jharlow77, I left a longer review in your same General Discussion thread (I saw that thread before I saw this one.)

    Suggested multispeed pedelec for under $1500?

    I have the CrossCurrent Air, and so far I’m very happy with it. I paid the extra $199 for the torque sensor, and another $99 for the throttle. Bad move on the throttle, since they decided to offer it for free only three weeks after I paid $99 for it :( Oh well, Juiced Bikes also upgraded the...

    VOMO electric scooter on Indiegogo

    From August 25: "I sorta expect the next Indiegogo update to say something like “We are a little behind schedule on the August scooters, blah blah blah…” Bingo. Today, August 28: "By now we hoped to be shipping out but I'm afraid we are currently running about 14 days behind on our schedule. ...

    VOMO electric scooter on Indiegogo

    Oh, you also mentioned the press release. I'm not sure what to make of that, but I suspect the name is an alias. I know that pr.com absolutely requires a person's name and telephone number. Otherwise they won't publish the press release. But they don't verify the name or number. You could...

    VOMO electric scooter on Indiegogo

    Hi platbr, I agree, the VOMO does look like the perfect scooter. They took the minor imperfections of the Ecoreco and solved for most of them. It does look like a very good design, but I’m still plenty skeptical about the price. I still can’t make the numbers add up to anything where Veetron...

    VOMO electric scooter on Indiegogo

    I have a thought on this. And my thought is, "Another Indiegogo scam!" I was also tempted, but after doing some digging a few things came to mind: 1. I've crunched the numbers, and I don't see ANY way they can get these scooters to people for the too-good-to-be-true price of $349 without...

    Electric Scooters vs. Full Sized Electric Bikes

    When I purchase my Ecoreco M5 I'll absolutely post a review on EBR. Since I live in rainy Beaverton, Oregon, as far as purchasing the M5 I'm not going to "Just Do it" (;)) until this Spring when I can actually ride the thing on a regular basis. If I buy it now, the M5 will mostly just sit in...

    Electric Scooters vs. Full Sized Electric Bikes

    Hi Calvin, I understand I'm posting months later, but found this thread in a Google search and thought I'd chime in since I owned a Super Lithium 1500. In short, the scooter is everything it's advertised as. With my 175 pound body I could easily achieve 36-38mph on level pavement. As for...
