    CCX intermittent power

    @treal512 , I received my ccx Nov 15, same problem, my suggestions are: Don't use the bike if it has an intermittent power problem. If you have a poor connection between battery and frame connectors, you will spoil the electrical contacts very quickly. Remove the battery and observe if the...

    CCX Spoke Replacement Instructions/Tips

    I did it for the first time at 550 miles; I weight 160 lb and ride at 20 mph or less in mostly flat paved surface, so I may not be a good reference. I found three spokes of the rear wheel outside the recommended 20% from the average, as well as four spokes of the left side on the front wheel. In...

    CCX Spoke Replacement Instructions/Tips

    After the first 500+ miles on the CCX I measured the tension on both wheels, using the TM1 Park Tool. Values expressed in TM1 units and kgf (conversion to kgf using the steel spoke diameter of 2.29 mm = 0.09"): REAR LEFT: range 26-29, or 80-120 kgf, average ~100 kgf REAR RIGHT: range 30-33, or...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    @DustyCornea, these bikes are tall, intended for commuting at relatively med to high speed, I would say, above 15 mph. Of course you can ride at lower speeds, but because of its short "trail", while been responsive to turn, they are less stable than other bikes at low speeds. Riding at low...

    CCX Spoke Replacement Instructions/Tips

    @max_power: Check the box or bag with accesories and tools you received from Juiced with the new CCX bike. With my bike they sent two spare spokes for the rear wheel, with nipples. Observe that not only the rear wheel has the left side spokes at different tension that the right side. The...

    CCX intermittent power

    Update 02/26/19: As per Juiced Bikes, the shorter pin ("+") of the male connector of the "Receiver / Downtube Battery Lock Interface Set for Current Series / Wide Format" is by design (not a manufacturing problem, as I thought), intended to allow for the "offset of the plug angle" when inserting...

    CCX intermittent power

    Brian, I understand that the same "envelope" of the 2-socket connector is also used for a 5-socket connector. The additional 3 sockets, when present, are used for signals, not for power. Usually the labels +, -, 1, 2,3 are displayed despite that sockets 1, 2 and 3 are not present, but, as you...

    CCX intermittent power

    @BrianMura : The battery side female connector is the PLA0050 and I assume they have it in stock; I didn't ask. In practical terms, they are one day "off" from our date, so every email transaction takes one or two days. I sent the email chain I had with Reention in private email.

    CCX intermittent power

    Hi @BrianMura , - I wrote an email to Reention on the email listed in their website. To save one step, you could contact the person that helped me: Aimee Lee ([email protected]) . She provided the directions on how to pay for shipment (expensive! --$33), for one connector. They did not...

    CCX intermittent power

    2019/02/22 Update: Today I received two different versions of the male connector, which is part of the "Receiver / Downtube Battery Lock Interface Set for Current Series / Wide Format". One of the connectors was provided from Juiced as part of the assembly, the other was ordered directly from...

    Juiced Crosscurrent x - review rev. 3

    @Skypilot : May I suggest that you keep the battery to the right with one or two velcro straps. Some users, myself included, have used a 24 inch long by about 2 inch wide strap. I use two of them. This will hopefully prevent an intermittent electrical connection until a more permanent solution...

    Hola Steve, Me pregunto cómo has hecho para llevar una CCS(?) a Buenos Aires. Sos argentino?: me imagino que has tenido que pagar bastante de derecho aduanero. Yo soy argentino, pero vivo en Houston desde hace muchos años. Compré una CCX en noviembre, y la única que pude conseguir sin...

    Ocean Current brake cutoff delay? Excessive Delay?

    @ADKer: Very likely your problem is related to the sensor, as @lilrich explained above. I had a similar problem when my bike was new, when applying the rear wheel brake only. After exercising the brake many times, the problem went away. Never had a problem with the front wheel brake. Could...

    CCX intermittent power

    Vic_1949: What I am showing in the picture ((Link Removed - No Longer Exists)) is the battery plus the receiver-lock assy; the two wires are the standard wires that are soldered to the back pins of the male connector. At the other end of the wires there is a yellow 2-pin connector that mates...

    The straps I used are 24" long x 2" wide, needed for the large CCX battery; five of them per pack, I used two (Amazon link)

    To "Juice" or not ?

    I am not sure the problem has to do with the weight of the battery. I agree that the problem appears related to the plastic receiver pieces; there are some dimensional issues. I think there is a marginal engagement of the male connector pins into the battery connector sleeves, even when the...

    CCX intermittent power

    Probably happens because the standard battery is larger in the CCX. I think both bikes have the same size down tube ("wide", as per Juiced) but I am not sure. The battery width (left to right) is about 3.18" or 81 mm, and the part that protrudes above the frame, measured without removing it...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    @JohnJ: I am 5'5" and the bike is an M size. I wanted to ride upright but I didn't know how much higher I needed/wanted. So, I decided to buy an adjustable one (amazon = https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BFQ25WT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). AKA "handlebar stem"

    CCX intermittent power

    If tapping the battery on the right side, the power cuts off, it is a sign that the pin engament is worse than marginal. Only the tip of the pins may be engaging. Same happened to me with the first battery. I would remove the o'ring on the back of the male connector. After I did it, the...
