    Just got the ultra eagle - getting used to the midrive?

    Getting near 2500 miles and I love this ebike! I won't ever go back to a rear hub drive type of ebike. I naturally stopped riding my juiced bikes Ripcurrent S rear hub drive ebike it had been sitting around for a year or so and I just sold it last week. I couldn't ride the bike anymore it felt...

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    Obviously depends on your location. I can go off road and through the trails far from people and cars all I want here in Colorado but it was definitely not the same experience when I took my ebike to the suburbs of Dallas when I was visiting family for the holidays. There was no where to go but...

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    Also a good thing to know about AAA is you can literally sign up the day you need them and possibly even get a special offer or 7 day trial or something. Ever since I went tubeless I have eliminated all my issues with flats so last year had no use for AAA so cancelled it since I paid for the...

    Can a mid drive ebike pull a trailer / cargo as well as a rear hub?

    I didn't upgrade it and I didn't install it, I bought the bike not built it. It's a Biktrix Ultra Eagle. I'm sure it's a good chain. My bike had all high end components so I don't think they would have used a chain that couldn't handle a bafang Ultra 1500W motor. Otherwise I'm sure I would have...

    Can a mid drive ebike pull a trailer / cargo as well as a rear hub?

    I have crazy amount of torque. When I first got it, I would wheelie from stand still if I pressed the throttle too hard in too low of a gear. This is the kind of stuff that has made me hesitate on trying to pull the weight with my mid drive but the replies have convinced me it's definitely...

    Can a mid drive ebike pull a trailer / cargo as well as a rear hub?

    I will have to check my settings I don't think my mid drive shows me watts only battery voltage. My rear hub does show watts though it has the older bafang lcd and my mid drive has the newer color bafang display.

    Can a mid drive ebike pull a trailer / cargo as well as a rear hub?

    I am in Colorado and been riding my 750w rear hub for a couple years now and as my only form of transportation and I have absolutely zero issues with the Colorado hills. We're literally on a mountain. My mid drive is smoother and quicker to go up hills that's true. I just wouldn't say that my...

    Can a mid drive ebike pull a trailer / cargo as well as a rear hub?

    I have always pulled my pet trailer with my rear hub drive with my 35 lb puppy and never had any issues. Recently I also got a more expensive mid drive and I put the trailer hitch on it but haven't tried to pull the trailer. I just wanted to confirm if there's any issues pulling weight with a...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Well Juiced Bikes themselves basically told me the same thing, that it's not really needed. When my front brake needed to be replaced my local bike shop wouldn't install it without the cut off wire for whatever reason. So I contacted juiced to buy it and they told me wasn't needed. With my...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    No ever since I disconnected the motor cut off wire it's been fine and everything still working the same and haven't noticed any difference in braking so I have just left it. Although I will try what you said when I have some time to mess with it. I did have them change my handlebar grips so it...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    When it's cutting out does anything happen to your display? When I was having battery issues with it cutting on and off (I have a long thread here) I noticed that my battery meter would go all wonky and the battery meter bars start randomly going up and down, voltage starts jumping around all...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    I learned this the hard way when my battery port melted on both sides the bike and the battery. I keep my battery strapped with velcro now. Although this issue was not anything to do with the battery.

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Yes I did. I had to take it to my ebike guy and he figured it out. It was my motor cut off cable that connects to my front brake on the left side. When we disconnected it everything has been working fine since then.

I am wanting to upgrade the motor and I'd like to know what my options are, is 1500w possible? I know a local ebike mechanic that would be doing the work but I want to want to be...

    Anybody else go from a rear hub motor to mid drive?

    The brake sensors don't seem to bother me. I suppose you're referring to the motor cutting off when you hit the brakes. I guess I never really thought about it disabling it since I never really noticed it impacting my ride negatively. Once my motor cut off wire needed to be replaced when I was...

    Anybody else go from a rear hub motor to mid drive?

    I definitely understand where you're coming from for what it's worth I eventually ended up really liking and enjoying my mid drive. I was ready to ship it back but I had made a post in the Biktrix form where I continued this conversation and got a lot of tips specially about programming. When I...
