    Ripcurrent S - can the shocks be upgraded?

    Nobody here interested in upgrading their fork or front air shocks? I recently bought a Biktrix ultra eagle which came with a rockshox recon and it was my first time to experience proper shocks and holy crap it's a world of difference that's why I want to try to upgrade them on the Ripcurrent...

    What are the risks?

    You can look at my post history. I have had a Juiced Ripcurrent S for going on two years soon. I am not handy at all but knew a mobile bike guy that did all my basic maintenance and now an LBS. Well what was not ever expected was recently my battery port MELTED!! On both sides the battery and...

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    Incredibly fast shipping by Biktrix I already received my 17.5ah battery just now and it worked it fits!! Just barely. I don't think there's anyway a 21ah can fit or anything larger than this. Even my triangle bag still fits. You can see where the battery curves how narrow the space is between...

    Any reliable ebike carriers for car/suv (tow hitch)?

    Are there any other alternatives to transporting a bike across state? I understand you get what you pay for and especially when it comes to transporting a $4k bike it makes sense to get the most reliable. However in my case I only need it for this one particular drive. I don't have any need...

    Any reliable ebike carriers for car/suv (tow hitch)?

    I have a 62 lb ebike and will be driving from Colorado to Texas. I'd like to be able to bring my bike with me. Are there any reliable ebike carriers for this type of distance? I am trying to search but it seems most are rated to about 35 lbs per bike and some will hold two bikes but I don't know...

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    So yeah that's basically the issue. I was considering to buy it from aliexpress the 52v 17.5ah because it was only $423 for Panasonic or Samsung cells. Theirs was 370mm x 90mm x 110mm. The Biktrix 17.5ah is $800. Though I would have had to switch out the battery mount as well if I got the...

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    OK yes I see them. It's worth checking into I was speaking to an aliexpress vendor as well but their 21ah battery was too big. In one of your links its a little smaller. Appreciate it.

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    Are they 48v or 52v? Luckily I have a second bike otherwise this 14.5ah would really suck and already has me considering other options for the future. For my next purchase I should realy be sure on the batteries that can fit the frame before making my purchase. I'd really want 21ah next time. My...

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    Some pics of my medium frame and measurements with the 14.5ah battery. The issue is at the top part of the frame it starts to narrow significantly. If the 17.5ah fits then I will have to even remove my triangle bag, it won't fit with it. Even Biktrix support and Roshan weren't sure if the 17.5ah...

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    I don't see a 21ah anywhere in those links but yes it really doubtful it will fit the medium frame. I have been checking and measuring and even the 17.5ah is a tight fit. Honestly even when I took out my 14.5ah to measure it takes quite some messing with it to even get it back in

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    Unfortunately the 21ah doesn't fit the medium frame of the ultra which is what I have. Roshan said even the 17.5 is a tight fit and I may have to adjust my mounting plate. The good news I decided to get the battery at the perfect time. I ordered the 17.5ah at 25% off for black Friday sale...

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    I guess all this talk could have been for nothing. I was checking with Biktrix and they said that the 29" may not even fit on the medium frame. They said to take it to my local bike shop to see what they say. By measuring it I am under 1.5" available clearance, plus accounting for tire bounce I...

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    I just went out riding and paid attention to which gear I'm in on hills and taking off from a stop. I can climb the steepest hill in gear 4 if I was in gear 3 it would be smooth like butter but anything lower than gear 3 is literally not usable. I just feel like I'm free spinning the pedals and...

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    My low gears aren't a problem. It's already too low, the torque is so much as it is that I have to be careful Im not in too low of a gear when taking off otherwise it will wheelie. I should be ok missing my lowest gear. Anyway I guess it's something to think about seems like I won't know for...

    I have the 26" fat tire Ripcurrent S and I was wondering if I could upgrade the shocks like to a rockshox recon 26? Thanks

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    Not experiencing anything in particular maybe wanting to go faster with bigger wheels, and that I liked feeling higher up on the 27.5 compared to my 26" and figured that maybe I would like the 29" even more. If it was more efficient and able to help me run longer on my battery would be nice but...

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    I will probably wait on it then but, in the advantages for 29.5" in your post says it does help with climbing but, you're saying it doesn't so I'm a bit confused. "Larger tire footprint on the ground at all times means increased traction, which is great for climbing & descending" I guess I...

    29" wheels on the ultra eagle?

    Appreciate that! It looks like it could be a good fit for me then I don't do any technical off-roading or mountain biking. I only go off road to take a shortcut to where I'm going. I'm wondering what the turns would be like though. I'm 5'9 and I have a medium frame so it sounds like I should be...
