    "No fair." In so many ways!

    Well said! I had both knees replaced in the Winter of 2010-11 and have never looked back! In fact, I recommend cycling as part of any rehabilitation regimen.

    Perhaps I am underestimating you as the rider on the road ahead of me.:eek: However, I doubt you are destined for a spot in the TdF. o_O If You're writing about typical racing cyclists, clearly you understand the concept of teamwork and drafting to reach a maximum average speed.:p I too have...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    The stats on that commute were generated in ECO power level with an occasional throttle boost on the short climbs. I have the NDW mode set to "5" -no need to change that setting. I don't think a lower NDW would be useful for any experienced rider. On my last commute...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    YES! And yes, it comes down to percentages. Overall quality of design and build seems to be high with Juiced Bikes. It is logical to have a glitch along the way with any product from any manufacturer. Perhaps Juiced should be more proactive correcting an assembly issue with the rear rack, -even...

    Weather is moderating and temperatures are finally warming up a bit. After a 168 miles, every ride reaffirms my delight with the CCX. It's a great bike for commutes! I was able to get in a decent work commute today! Ride stats here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3460364097

    Love the CCX performance! As a 65 y/o "fat" guy, I would not be considered athletic by anyone's standard -except mine. In fact, according insurance statistics, I am considered clinically obese -what a joke! Around here, it has been a very cold and overall a tough Winter for cycling. Snow...

    CCX intermittent power

    With 140 miles to date on my CCX, I have not experienced any issue with intermittent power. However, in light of these battery connector issues I anticipate the Battery's plug design may need, at some point in the future, to be rebuilt. My thinking is that minimizing the total amount of battery...

    CCX intermittent power

    My exact thoughts on the supposed issue... Perhaps there is a design issue of concern. Some prudent steps may stabilize the issue like: strap supports, and minimizing installing and uninstalling the battery. We may be gaining an understanding that this issue could be the weight of a 14 series...

    OR, an inexpensive Garmin unit, transferable from bike to bike, that can show you which way to go, where you went, with enough stats to justify any adventure.;) My 65 year old physique has lost an inch and a half of height over the years. Weighing in at 230-240 lb and 68.5 inches tall the...

    CCX is a fantastic E-bike. Juiced Bikes is a great company. They have a quick response customer service department. Tora Harris' is hitting it out of the park!

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Significant considerations are a battery's awkward size and weight with regard to installing and uninstalling for recharging. Another concern is with the mechanical wear/stress over time from coupling and uncoupling the battery.

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Understanding that an optimal temperature range for recharging a Li Ion battery (or any battery) is +45°F /-80°F , and that would enable garage recharging for the 10 months period of fair weather biking around here. The essential questions then would be as follows: Is it be safe to store a...

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    With my old ebike, the 36V/12Ah battery needed a recharge cycle after every commute, that isn't the situation with the CCX's 52V/19.2Ah battery. While I liked the idea of removing the smaller-lighter battery and recharging in an indoor environment, a 13pound monster battery pack seems happy with...

    Those are my sentiments, too! With my old ebike, the 36V/12Ah battery needed a recharge cycle after every commute, that isn't the situation with the CCX.

    Manhattan’s only e bike store closed down

    Only the Brick and Mortar location seems to be closed. The banner on their web page states: "online orders only" (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) No easy way for any store front operation when online research and and promotion is open 24 hours every day.

    CCX Race Mode Offers Less Assistance than Sport Mode?

    No Issues with the controller firmware here!:D It's 11:00 PM and mighty chilly outside tonight (about 15° ); In the garage it's 37°. After reading about the "0" mode issue, I thought "Have I missed something?" While there have not been any issues with my CCX during the first 115 miles, who...
