    Hello from Calgary AB

    I've been in a lot of heavy rainstorms in Miami on my ebike for years... The only times i've had a problem is when the hub gets drenched though a puddle.. It cuts out until the water clears. Not sure if the tape helps. Best thing you can do is get it inside, preferably in a warm room, so it...

    Yukon tires: 4" to 3"?

    I feel the same way about those fat tires... So long as your rim is narrower than your tire, you should be just fine. What is the width of the front rim? My guess is that your rim is just over 3", so you could use a 3 1/4 or 3 1/2 tire. If the rim is 4" wide you could just replace the rim...

    Report of my first 4000 miles on a CCS (also my first 5 months of owning it)

    Those plastic gears are a consumable item that you probably want to stock as spare. Ask the resident Juiced rep on this forum. It should be a user replaceable item

    Report of my first 4000 miles on a CCS (also my first 5 months of owning it)

    thanks for the detailed report... How long does Juiced expect teh geared hub motor to last before the gears need replacing?

    Motor switching on and off

    Sounds like you have intermittent contact somewhere between your battery, controller, computer, and or motor.. You can try pushing all the connections, or tightening the threaded connections..

    Looking for a low maintenance commuter

    Your commute is 40 miles a day (that's over 2 hours riding), Seattle weather, and you have knee problems. Do you really think a 40 mile daily commute will be your routine? I've done the 20 mile commute 2 days a week in Flat florida and it is something that you have to be ready for. And it is...

    Would like to go faster!

    You could definitely do that.. You would need a new battery pack and probably a new controller... That will cost more than your bike is worth.. Stick with the 24v, or else just buy a new ebike or ebike kit, 48v (all new electrical components).

    Looking for comments on the Juiced Bikes Rip Current S - Should I purchase or spend more?

    These blogs coninvced me that Cross Current isn't the best choice... too many unresolved complaints.

    Is there a term for this?

    Fake pedaling is easy.. Fake sweating is much more difficult.

    Life span of an eBike

    This comment will probably get deleted.. The genius in Sondors bike is the open architecture.. There are many many vendors waiting to sell you a sondors upgraded battery pack, motors controllers you name it.

    Hello, From A2B!

    On most lithium chargers flashing red light means "bad battery."

    Hello, From A2B!

    Hi I owned an a2B Metro for five years. The charger I owned was a very good metal housing with a fan.. AFter a few years the fan died and it stopped working. Easy fix since it was just a Desktop CPU fan. In your case it seems like a battery problem.. check the voltage of the charger when it's...

    Only 20 miles max range on new E mountain bike

    Had the same problem in 2009 when I bought my first ebike and didn't like the range... I bought a second battery, and when I needed the longer range took it along with me... The great thing about two batteries is when the first one is done, you know you have 50% battery capacity remaining...

    Bionx enter receivership

    Careful with chinese mail order companies.. This company has been around for awhile, but warranty repairs will be a probelm. .Plenty of reliable companies in the States or Canada.

    Can we change the culture?

    That is horrible.. Never heard any ebiker being threatened for just biking on what looks like the shoulder of a little road. You did the right thing.. I wouldn't try to fix bigots and bullies, as they are probably on steroids. Be the kind and polite person you are, and they will see the...

    frustrated rant: the more i learn the more i cant find an ebike

    Quality bikes include Haibike and Stromer.. Buy a leftover model and save big bucks.. No matter what you buy, these all have compromised components that will show signs of rust within couple of years. Chinese spec stainless steel is not like Japanese or American spec stainless steel. Not to...
