I did buy a longer chain, I think I can safely go down to 3rd right now. We'll see if I need the lower end on my route, as all I do is commute on the bike. I previously never went under 5th.

I'm running the new Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus in 27.5 x 2.00, they are E-50 certified for 50kph (31mph) Did you replace your chain when you went to 49T?

Update: Got a 54T today, this one specifically: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBG7GZKZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&psc=1 It fits with enough clearance, you really can't go any larger than this. It rides great, and I was able to maintain a good 90rpm cruise in 7th gear, noticeably...

I'm 500 miles in and have already replaced my cassette. I think I solved the issue though. This bike has a 44T front and 9/11-32 rear. The Juiced bikes, and I suspect other ebikes, have a 54T front. This anemic front sprocket means only the 9th gear, and it's like 5 teeth, take all the power if...

I'm about 200 miles in now, and can't use 9th gear at all due to skipping. I'm afraid I just shredded the teeth, but also have problems shifting in the low end...bike stand on the way so I can try to adjust the rear derailleur

I just got the front one on, I didn't find it too difficult to do by hand. I did use tire levers to get the old one off, but didn't need them to get the new one on. Just worked one side on, most of the other side, then rolled the last bit.

I am switching over the Marathon Plus, hopefully today if I can get them on the rims. That should also help with the noise - I find the knobby tires are the loudest part of the bike when I'm taking it slow on a mixed use path. For the dual batteries, does anyone know how they work? Are they...

I feel like the shifter motor cutoff definitely takes some getting used to, right now it doesn't feel fast enough and I end up still having power while the chain actually moves on the cassette. I started to ease up a bit on the pedals when shifting. It's just not something I'm used to having to...

I just unpacked my Rize RX and did my first commute Initial impressions: The bike was well-packed, the box had no obvious damage. Looking carefully over the bike, there are less issues than my previous Juiced CCX upon delivery. No obvious defects or scratches on the bright red frame, wheels are...

Sounds good, thanks for all the info. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a 100 mile report on mine to post

How did you know it was time to replace the chain?

How is the shifting on the RX? Does the cut-off seem to work well? Do you have to consciously stop putting out power before shifting?

It's a close call, but I am agreeing that the extra power now and an battery upgrade in the future will be worth it.

How do you find the noise on it? I'm honestly considering the MD because it's a BBS02, the deal right now has a free extra battery. I'm not sure the 750w vs 1000w would be that big of a difference

That speed is just what I'm looking for in a bike. I think I've made my decision! How many miles do you have on yours?

How smooth do you find the motor kick-on with the torque sensor? I've heard there's a setting in the display to make it smoother?

How fast do you find yourself going in PAS 1 on flat terrain? Have you tried to see how fast you can go in 5 on flat terrain? I've heard the wheelset is one of the cheaper components is all.

After discovering the Rize RX, and having a similar set of features compared to a Biktrix for thousands less, I'm pretty much sold on it. However, I do have some questions for current owners. Is the default battery good enough for a strong 20 miles a day commuting? Some big hills on my route...

It's only 750W, but EBR ranked this the #1 commuter. Anyone have experience? https://dostbikes.com/product/kope-cvt I wonder how reliable and easy to service the CVT will be.
