Have had Avid Magura and all types of disc brakes... There is just no comparison to hydraulic brakes. They self adjust and have tremendous leverage on brake force. IMO most brakes are just fine, just have to know how to maintain them.. And buy the correct pads for however you use them.. I...

Yeah you should get a full display from CCS, and try to avoid riding below a 20% state of charge.. Those LEDs are worthless.

Great Pics! I'm assuming you bought the full slamma jamma battery?

It is hard to judge why someone else's range is so much different than my experience.. I had the original Stromer (before the ST1), it was a 36v 11 ah battery, say 400 Wh.. When new, and in middle assist level, it would easily get 50 km in hot Florida, which is all flat... I weigh 200 lbs...

Do you have a very hilly commute? The reason I ask is that you should be getting a whole lot more than 53 km per charge, unless you're dealing with a lot of hills... Maybe have them check out that battery performance to see if it has 814 Wh.

Definitely take it in.. Losing 1/3 of your range in one year is poor. If you have the time, try a long charge, like 6 hours.. Maybe one of the battery strings isn't fully equalizing. And inflate the tires to maximum allowed. then check your range.

Good luck dude! Seems like a short tourist season to rent ebikes but you already know that... Ebike laws were changed for the good this year.. Hopefully you verified the trails near your business are open to eBikes. Question 10: Can I ride an electric bicycle on a trail? Answer: The...

It happens a lot.. Drove my new Honda Ridgeline through a medium sized puddle and one of the cross traffic alert sensors near the wheel well started alarming.. No way to turn it off..... Intermittent alarms for an hour... Electronics can be frustrating.. Time is usually the best cure.

I don't know if one is related to the other, but long time Texas ebike retail company ElectricRider.com is now closed and out of business. https://electricrider.com/

You are different than most ebike buyers.. You dont need a lot of help, and that help is only for a very short distance over a steep hill. If i were you I'd get a kit with a geared hub motor, small controller and 48v 10 amp hour battery. Install that kit on an upright commuter bike. Or if...

Yeah that is a logical cul de sac.. IF the new component is backwards compatible, there is no assurance the old component is forward compatible.. .In fact, if you look at the design it doesnt' look like it woudl fit at all. Could be wrong....

Hmmm I will check it out.

You won't see that on a sign.. It is the wording in the state statute on bicycle paths and sidewalks.. Not sure anyone pays attention to it.

Those new frames and batteries look very custom, like they were built for Juiced bike.. Still it's just an eBike and there's always someone to replace a part, or built a battery pack.

That is true in many states.. In Florida you can't ride on any sidewalks or any bikeways with an ebike.. The wording is "human only powered bikes allowed..."

Sounds like we need a Tee Shirt!!! LOL

This helps explain Juiced Bikes' low cost structure... So they keep little inventory which is dead money, esp for models that don't move. They do have retail sales in bike stores, just don't think it's a large part of their total business. It seems to be working but they will be limited...

https://www.juicedbikes.com/products/ripcurrent-s For $2000 you get a 750w fat tire bike with a 1 kWh battery.. Seems like a great deal... How does it ride?

Consider yourself very lucky.. If you search this site you will read about a woman who crashed her brand new M.A.T.E and suffered some serious injuries.. The front wheel came off in the first 20 miles.. The company blamed her.
