    Close encounters of the e-skateboard kind

    I had a v1 BoostedBoard that I sold to another guy in my office. He’s probably mid 40s with a decent sense of balance and a little bit of experience on a skateboard as a kid. It took him less than an hour to get the basics back and learn how to manipulate the remote.

    Close encounters of the e-skateboard kind

    I use an electric skateboard to supplement my ebike commuting. Working in and around a large university campus, they're perfect for zipping back and forth to different meetings across campus. What would be a 15-20 minute walk turns into a 1-2 minute electric skateboard ride. I'm partial to...

    Upgrade shocks?

    I've had my issues with the stock Mozo shock offered by JuicedBikes. It gets the job done, but wasn't as responsive as I'd expected. The real issue with the Mozo shock on the fat bikes is the lack of serviceability. There's no documentation that can guide you through a rebuild and as far as I...

    buying a new fat bike - questions and suggestions

    Yes, the HF1100 is marketed as an on pavement bike. The HF1000 came with off road knobby tires.

    buying a new fat bike - questions and suggestions

    That’s a nice looking fatty eBike. There’s definitely other factors to consider when moving to a bigger brand and drive system. Even with torque sensor, I’d probably never ride my JuicedBike HF1000 off road. It lacks the subtlety and more granular control needed to navigate uneven surfaces...

    buying a new fat bike - questions and suggestions

    A 52v system is going to make a difference if you ride in the higher levels of assist for the majority of your ride. This is even more pronounced on ebikes with controllers that draw a high amperage. In a nutshell, once the controller calls for power to the motor, the number of amps drawn from...

    Stan's sealant

    I used 4-5 oz on my 4" fat bike tires. Using Stans, I've had mixed results. Some things like small nails, thorns, staples can be helped with sealant. If you do any biking near or around roads that handle a lot of commercial truck traffic Stans might not help that much for larger debris.

    To "Juice" or not ?

    What I wish Juiced bike would do with the battery connector in the frame is mold their own version using something other than a basic abs type plastic. I realize that I run my HF1000 hard as a daily commuter, roughy 4000k miles last year. So my components are taking a beating, especially at the...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    I have an HF1000 that I've been riding for over a year. It had its issues and when I purchased it I almost knew I'd completely rip it apart and add my own components. When the bike was under warranty, Juiced was reasonably responsive to support calls. The thing that got annoying was the number...

    Time to buy?

    Also, my vote would be to get the Raleigh Lore. The Bosch motor is much more popular than the TranzX on the Cadent. The Lore also seems more capable with the RockShox fork and big tires. If you eventually want to use the Lore as a commuter, finding a rear rack won't be difficult.

    Time to buy?

    I think going with a conversion is a good idea if you have the time to do all of the research, build, and configuration of the bike. Looking at what others have done, a mid-drive kit like a BBS02 or BBSHD would be more than capable for some off-road applications. Some of the kit mid-drive...

    Bosch selling kit w/ gears to fix the Performance CX

    I know the guy in the video because I ride with him. He's since moved onto a Juiced Bike CCX. Amongst a number of us San Francisco Bay area commuters, we've all had our share of issues with motor and or controller longevity. The Dail-E Grinder in the video had a warranty battery replacement...

    Juiced Cycles with 12T MAC motor @ 48V doing over 30mph

    My friend has a HF1100, it has a 12T sticker on it. I guess one can’t actually know without opening it up. The plot thickens.

    Juiced Cycles with 12T MAC motor @ 48V doing over 30mph

    Just to clarify for people about these higher speed eBikes, I think it should be noted that one has to take extreme caution when riding besides parked cars and in traffic. I’m usually under 20mph in the city. Half of my ride takes me through a nature preserve with an empty two lane road, its...

    Juiced Cycles with 12T MAC motor @ 48V doing over 30mph

    I have a friend that has a HF1100 running the 12T MAC motor. With pedaling he was able to touch 40 mph momentarily. As soon as his stock controller started giving him problems, we ripped it out and put a GrinTech Phaserunner into it. This de-restricted the throttle output. The bike can now...

    replace 400 watt battery with the 500 watt battery

    The highest level of assist, so it would be 28mph and then a little more with the bike unlocked with BikespeedRS. My motor is a Bosch Performance Speed. 16-17 miles on a 400wh battery is with a semi-upright posture on Haibike Trekking S commuter bike. My route is flat with 150ft of elevation...

    replace 400 watt battery with the 500 watt battery

    I paid someone $700 for a new 500wh battery. I think I'm getting roughly 16-17 miles on my 400wh battery in Turbo. My best estimate of the 500wh battery would be 21-22 miles.

    Chain Keeper on the CCX can it be sold separately?

    That's too bad, I just looked at the picture of the CCX again on their website and the battery is a lot closer to the seat tube than the HF bikes.
