I had that issue in the beginning, I just had to rotate the ergo grips up so my forearms and wrists formed a straight line. In the stock configuration my wrists were bent up 45 degrees, which cause pain and numbness.

Nobody can stop the e-bike train now, but now that 20+mph is in the realm of average people off the street instead of just people who cycle regularly, cities need to start adding speed limit signs to their multi-use trails. I agree, e-bike or no, 20mph is too fast, and some bike cops at trail...

I'm 6'4 and they only had an L available when I bought my CCS. I have the seat almost all the way up, but I haven't had any problems with the handlebars being too close. It seems perfectly comfortable to me. I'm sure an XL would be, too.

Let's not forget that a 1000Wh pack has the same amount of potential energy as 1.89lbs of TNT. I'll take my 2A charge rate and call it a day.

Not if they are so underpowered that 30 is their max speed to avoid regular moped/motorcycle regulations. If they are just electric mopeds that can go 50, yes. Otherwise you'll be more limited that an ebike. No trails, no bike lanes, etc. Personally, on my CCS my max speed is 33mph, just enough...

Sounds like the city let things get out of hand, somebody died, and they faced too much public pressure than would allow them to accept the new proposals and allow the companies to continue. With no regulations by the city to hold companies responsible for things like 1) Having a certain number...

I added a Curt rack to my tiny hatchback in about an hour, if you have the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude I would recommend it. They're well designed and bolt directly to the frame, and add a lot of utility to your vehicles. The irony is my hachback comes with lights and a rack in Europe...

You may as well say that any form of exercise is "painful" with that argument. You may not realize that cycling is split into two camps - transportation, and exercise. And people can take pleasure in either of those. Commuters in baggy clothes going 10mph aren't there to get really tough...

Let's break it down for PastorDave. The vehicle for charging your battery is of course the charger, so let's start there. The chargers are rated for their output in Ah. The one included with most Juiced bikes is rated for 2 amps of continuous output, until the battery is at a certain level...

Yes, exactly. Because it's for a "given voltage" i.e. you know the pack's charge state at that specific voltage. You can't however say "I'm at (any voltage) and I want to add 2 volts, so 2 volts is always 1 hour of charge. If you had some external meter I'm sure it's possible because it's...

Unfortunately that's not really possible because the Ah of the pack isn't linear to the voltage, that's why I go off of the nearest 5% per my calculations for the 52V pack.

Unfortunately I'm no longer in the business, I would contact the base subvets chapter, I've often seen tours with them. https://m.facebook.com/Bremerton-Base-USSVI-295687423906027/about/

I have to admit, I am. Pictured on the USS Kentucky in 2016 somewhere in the Pacific. I have the 52V CCS with Marathon Plus tires, an unfortunately rare combination between the CCS and CCX lines. My wife has a RCS.

I'm hoping streamlining their processes will allow for a cheaper CCX. From a business perspective, I can see how the additional overhead of: Very slightly different frames (exterior vs interior routed cables), a 20 vice 25 amp controller, two types of batteries to support, two firmwares, and...

I bought a CCS in August last year and have put about 2500 miles on it, with 30 miles a day commuting. And while I'm sure I could do it on a normal road bike, (I train indoors with Zwift) the advantages to an ebike are legion. Faster commuting while still getting a workout, thick and wide tires...

Which doesn't really make sense either, because if they were 3200mAh then the battery would have a nominal capacity over 1kWh, unless it was in the 5P configuration....I guess somebody just has to open one up to get a straight answer.

I just had to make an educated guess based on the voltage, number of cells in series, and Juiced's Wh rating. That's 52V, 84 cells in a 14 series by 5 parallel configuration, and 995Wh. That doesn't actually make sense because 84 cells with 14 in series actually means it would be 6 in parallel...

Just to ask, is it a Schrader or Presta valve? What kind of pump do you use for all that air?

Good to know. I might have to seal mine with clear silicone.

For me, if I can get 500 extra cycles out of my battery with this simple chart and a timer I yell at my living room Alexa, it's a no brainer. That's 15,000 potential miles and two years of commuting! That'll make my battery the longest lasting part of my bike besides the frame itself.
