    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Well, that took a lot longer to find in stock than I anticipated. I think I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with a big name e-merchant only to find out they sold the last HardSeven last week. We then looked for a similar ebike in that price range, but a low end Bulls and an Izip did not...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    Darrin, I wanted to keep the focus of the thread on track, so I neglected providing that detail simply because I felt it was not necessary. I will give you a big hint - just check my post history and you can easily find the thread I started. I very much value Ravi's opinion, so I went with his...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    I'm ordering tonight !!!! Only ... it won't be a Rip Current. It's been real, but my time waiting for one of these mythical beasts to come back in stock has reached its end. From where I was 2 months ago, thinking the RCS was the ONLY bike for me, to today, my thought process has been all over...

    New Juiced Bike Model: The Scrambler, fat 20" Wheels, Class 3, Double-Seater

    This commercial looks like a Coca Cola ad from the 70s to me. And I too was stunned at the lack of helmets. That dude's hair would be a nice cushion on a fall, but I think ultimately a helmet would be a better idea. All he needed was a t-shirt that read 'If you can read this, the b*t@h fell...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Ravi ... killin' me here, man !!! Ive been avoiding even looking at the Haibikes, knowing how pricey they always are, and then you drop this on me ?!? Just when I was ready to put the mid drives behind me and move on ... back to researching another mid drive ! IMHO, nobody makes a better looking...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Just got done riding with JR - he gave me a ride on his Easy Motion Evo 29 - wow, that thing is smooth as butter !! I had never been on even a 27.5, so the 29 just looks comically huge compared to everything on the trail. It's like a bro-dozer lifted truck on the trail !! I am all over the...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Doc, I thought it was indicating on the Juggernaut ordering page that I could select at the time of purchase what tire size I got. Reading it yet again, I guess I interpreted it wrong :oops: I've already bugged Roshan twice with emailed questions, and I would hate to continue to bug him until...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Doc, I looked at the Magnum Peak on Saturday in the middle of a downpour. I couldn't even test ride it since the dealer is about an hours drive from me. To be honest, I dismissed it due to its smaller 500w rear hub, as I wanted a 750w minimum. Also, the dealer did not have the 27.5 3" tire model...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    No need to swap between sizes. I think the extra rolling resistance of the 4" is no benefit to my riding when 90% of it will be on a hard pack rail trail that doesn't offer an advantage of the cushiness of the larger tires. I think the 3" is a good 'middle ground' in that it offers better...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    I joined the forum about a month ago after digesting just about every fatbike video Court ever posted as well as poring over the forums to get an idea of what ebike I wanted when it was time to buy. I immediately was drawn to the Juiced Rip Current S, as for the price it seemed ideally what I...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    Pshh, at this point I would have paid you what you paid for the RCS just to get one and skip this waiting for 2 months just to PLACE my order. At least I have alternatives lined up now ... spent the last 2 hours creating a spreadsheet with similar bikes and listing their specs and prices. This...

    What to expect with a direct sales bike?

    I went to my LBS last week, and it was the biggest waste of time for me personally. They had one ebike in the entire store, nobody knew ANYTHING about it (motor size ? *blank stare* battery size ? *blank stare*) and I honestly didn't really feel like they were interested in selling ebikes. My...

    Voltbike Enduro swap DPC-10 for DPC-14?

    Now THAT is how to show off your bike mods !! Jesus, dude, you may even have a kitchen sink on there !! Pimpin' ain't easy, and that thing is tricked out. Wish you lived near me in PA so I could have you trick mine out - not necessarily that much gear, but .. wow ... nice job !! That DPC18 is...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    I made a choice, I just have to stop reading all these forum posts that are introducing me to amazing bikes at amazing prices ! PCDoctor commented on his 'analysis paralysis' a few comments above, and altho I have been on the Juiced bandwagon from the very start, I am now doing the back and...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    Chuck already spoke for me :D and of course, the Juggy is sold out as well. I prefer a straight top tube, and the slightly larger battery on the RCS is always welcome. Is the Juggy (or any other bike) upgradable to 52v like the Juiced models are ? That to me is an important selling point. I'm...

    Voltbike Enduro swap DPC-10 for DPC-14?

    Pics !! You know the rules around here ... you can't do an upgrade without showing the before/after pics. I'm still shopping around, but the more I look at Volts model line, the more I like them. I was most interested in the Yukon, but after looking at the pics and reviews on the Enduro, I find...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    @Chris - I totally agree with you. Every single fatbike that I listed in my post has some downside when directly compared to the RCS, so I feel like if I cave and buy something else, I will always regret jumping rather than waiting it out. Had I been more confident of my financing, I would have...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    Guys, is it safe to admit that the RCS in an XL frame will not be showing up in stock until June, according to the website ? I just want to confirm what is painfully obvious to me at this point. I've been so disappointed that I paid a visit to my LBS yesterday - holy crap, what a huge downer...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    So at this point, the Juiced RCS is my browser's home page, both at home and at work. The Medium frame ... heh ... funny how it remains in stock .. EVEN NOW .. heh ,.. my doctor has not gotten back to me on what is involved to remove several vertebrae from my spine so that I can shrink from my...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    Nope, even the 13a battery is OOS currently on the Brushed Aluminum. The black is the only one still available in XL frame size with the 19a battery. I > COULD < hit 'Add to Cart' and make it mine, but I am sticking by my guns now. It's the principle of the thing at this point. Talk to me next...
