    48v battery replacement options

    Bike battery fires and explosions are a real risk when using poor quality batteries or with non-certified chargers, especially if you then combine with poor charging conditions. While charging keep the battery and charger in a location where it can dissipate heat (bike frame works for battery)...

    RipCurrent vs. RipCurrent S

    I confirmed that gen1 RCS's have a smaller seatpost diameter: Also 1st gen RCS was a mix of 48v up to 19.2ah and a giant 21am 52V that doesn't seem to be available any more. So I suspect the current gen RC and RCS have a different controller and different software in the computer. Does the...

    Does anyone know for certain which Abus Nutfix seatpost clamp will fit a CCS?

    I use ABUS locks (Bordo 6500 AND 37RK/55 paired with Laclede 3/8" Square "Lockdown" Security Chain) for my locks, but for seat/stem/nut security I have been using https://hexlox.com/ Sizing is as simple as reading the number of the hex wrench that you use :) I had to change the seatpost clamp...

    Occasional clunking on RipCurrent - Bottom bracket?

    I get a thunk sound too - but after over 2000 miles I figure its probably fine (RCS gen1). Mine only happens when at low speed/stop and applying full leg pressure (Power setting of Eco). Typically thunks once or twice and then stops unless I stand up to pump up a hill.

    Folding Locks: ABus Bordo 6000 vs Foldylock Compact on CCS/CCX

    Folding Lock: I use the Bordo 6500 - velcro case is just to the side and behind on the .... um.. seatpost tube? ... The normal 6500 has been fine for short lockups, and i'm in a collage town -- I just wish that they had the longer model available when I got mine. The normal models is 80cm, but...

    Lumos Helmet

    I have not been able to find the MIPS version.. or are all the newer ones MIPS? <edit/added> They have a pre-order of a more bowl style helmet that has MIPS option but only in Black. I want it White+MIPS. I would think that people ordering high visibility helmets would order black as their...

    New RCS video posted by kobEVision on YouTube

    FYI - My RCS is WAYYYY quieter than that bike - and that is with the stock knobby tires at 22-27 PSI. I tend to ride about 15-16mph with my assist top speed limited to 25mph. I think I just got lucky on motor noise -- but the first time I watched the video I was like "WOW those tires are...

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

    Regarding spokes - I find I need to check my spokes at least every 2 weeks for tightness. At first I was a bit concerned, but then I realized that I didn't have any issues the first week when I was riding slowly. I think the combination of the larger payload (me + locks + computer gear +...

    Question regarding medium size Rip Current S frame.

    I have the RCS in Medium and am 5'9"ish Because my usage is 90% on the rough, poorly maintained roads in my local I was always planning on getting both a suspension seatpost AND a more "crusier" style saddle. (Still trying to find a Saddle I like better than stock, and the Redshift seatposts...

    Juiced Bikes sent me a new display (a demo of ergonomic killassist, throttle button, horn)

    The other day I got a snide fashion comment about my bright yellow safety vest. note: Unless Shorts & old T-shirt prints are in fashion, I am never fashionable But riding on the RCS must have inspired me because my immediate reply was "Living is the ultimate fashion statement" Of course in...

    Known Issues & Problems with Juiced Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I can not seem to find the post that I was thinking of... If you want to see a video of someone removing the wide battery base - there is a youtube video from "Dbf Crell" labeled "Juiced RipCurrent S - Bad Controller Changeout" where he records fully removing the wide base as part of the ECU...

    Detailed Ride Report - Distance/Battery

    @devhead It doesn't mater the "size" (i.e. 12aH, 17ah, 19.2ah) - all 48 Volt systems use the 48V columns, so you just need to use the above post from @karmap and just focus on the 48V columns. :)

    June Pre-Orders

    @Diarmuid A CCS XXL shows up for you to sign up for in-stock notification. If people who want the XXL don't sign up for the notifications, why would Juiced produce them?

    Known Issues & Problems with Juiced Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    @JMuir and @karmap , I remember reading previously someone who had an intermittent connection issue that was solved with battery insertion - and I vaguely recall something about somehow adjusting the socket in the battery mount + adding a shim, maybe at the base of the battery. Sorry I don't...

    June Pre-Orders

    @kev312 Kev, what was your RCS config and battery? XL? 19.2? My medium RCS brush aluminum with 19.2 took 80 days from Credit card charge to it being at my door. I hope your wait will be shorter. I suspect the only thing in shorter supply than batteries are XL frames.

    How Fast Can You Go Without Assist?

    Asher, when you say "without power" do you mean... ..you have a cut-off like chris so you can run the computer but have NO assist or ...how fast do you go with power level of ECO?

    What's it Worth to You

    Juiced Pro's vs Yukon: Its close-ish - but I think the Cadence + Torque sensor is really what makes the CCS/RCS so fun while still feeling like a bike (rather than feeling like a moped). I am just past 1st week with RCS and I find I use most of the gears, but I spend most of my time in 7 or 8...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    I guess I'll head to the hardware store to see if I can find an 18mm offset box end wrench or a thru-hole socket, after I look up what those are ;) Odd think about the website, some of those tools that are sold out say "restock in a few weeks".
