    CCX intermittent power

    Vic_1949: Same happened to me. I assume Juiced will send you a new battery and a new wide receiver-lock assembly. If they send you a new receiver-lock assembly, I suggest you take the opportunity to remove the o-ring that is behind the male connector (there are two o-rings, remove the larger...

    CCX intermittent power

    The part I received is not a mating connector for the battery. I asked Juiced for the part number or name for the male 2-pin connector, and when/if they answer I'll let you know.

    To "Juice" or not ?

    I compared specs versus price, and could not find anything close to Juiced bikes. After my first 350 miles I like the CCX more and more. Juiced service is responsive; I cannot complain. I did have problems with the battery, but received a replacement. If you are looking for perfection, plan...

    CCX intermittent power

    I think the problem doesn't go away with the 2nd. battery.... I received a new battery and new frame locking parts, installed them, but made some changes: In my case, after I went through the experience of a ruined connector, I tried to get a better insertion of the frame connector pins into...

    Brian's CCX Journal

    The positive terminal sleeve in Brian's battery connector is starting to show the effect of sparking.

    Yet another CCX owner

    SirJonathan, you are not the only one. I found that riding with one hand, specially at low speed, is more difficult with the CCX than with other bikes. This is probably due to the weight on the front wheel, the stem angle and/or the "trail". It took me some time to "learn" this bike.

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

    Yes, same happens with my CCX, and KAM1952's explanation for this behavior seems correct.

    Brian's CCX Journal

    Brian, I have the following suggestions, to make the battery connection more reliable. Knowing that the connection is intermittent is telling us that the mechanical engagement of the connectors is marginal. In your video you show the lower pin is a little shorter; the same in my bike: 1...

    CCX intermittent power

    My CCX had intermittent power problems from the first week, and I knew from day 1, thanks to EBR, that I may have the same problem. So far what I can say is that Juiced Bikes stands behind their products and try their best to have happy customers. I did not ask for replacement parts, they...

    CCX intermittent power

    Update 2018/12/25 on intermittent power on CCX: Last week Juiced Bikes sent me a new replacement battery and promised to send a new wide port assembly, which I did not receive yet. I assume they don't have it in stock at this time. The original battery was showing the initial degradation of...

    Love my CCS, losing patience with Juiced

    It has been a long wait for PeteH. Problem with most companies, small or large, new or established, is the poor communications with their customers. Is not always "bad service", but almost always the customer with the problem is left in a cloud of uncertainty. Who is handling my problem?, and...

    Thanks Bruce, I ordered a piece that is similar but not identical from Aliexpress.

    CCX intermittent power

    Update 2018/12/09 on intermittent power: This bike is impressive, in performance vs. price, features, power, speed. Readers that are thinking on buying a new bike by no means should be discouraged by these relatively minor, solvable problems. Reference is made to the picture "shorter-pin.jpg"...

    CCX intermittent power

    Update 2018/12/08 on intermittent power: Today I removed the port assembly from the frame, and observed that when the port assembly is out of the frame, the engament of the connectors frame-to-battery is very good. You can feel the connectors' engagement force being substantial. You can also...

    CCX intermittent power

    2018/12/07 Update on the contact problem of my CCX: I have not received the replacement port assy yet from the manufacturer, as promised. As I mentioned before, the bike has intermittent power biking on minor bumps, and I can reproduce the problem by applying a small pressure on the right side...

    Thinking strongly about ordering the CCX

    Mike, with the existing laws of most (may be all?) US states, what you are stating is absolutely correct. I agree 100%. I was arguing against the existing laws, not about your interpretation of them. I would like to see a "compromise" law, like this: <<If you ride a bike [whatever the...

    Thinking strongly about ordering the CCX

    Mike, you have a good point -many good points indeed. In defense of Juiced Bikes and other vendors... I wonder why the law does not establish what is the maximum speed for the bikes in a particular bike path, street or lane, rather than specifying how much power the bike delivers, or the...

    Thinking strongly about ordering the CCX

    Sirjonathan, the CCX is an accesible bike that provides the power and speed you cannot get from any other commuter bike at this time, for the price you pay. Surely it is heavy, it has some minor problems, but the support team is very responsive. I had to wait two weeks+ for the delivery; I...
