    Cross Current

    @Tora Harris thanks again for being so responsive to all our Q's. On another Juiced-related thread you mentioned: "We have been doing the range testing with the production spec CrossCurrent to get the real range figures. We attached the GPS and battery power meter (Cycle Analyst) so we can...

    Trek Conduit+ versus Specialized Turbo

    @RockyMtnCyclist many thanks for that suggestion. I'm beginning some extensive ebike ride testing tomorrow and I don't think I would have considered that approach except for reading your post. Much appreciated! BTW where are you located? Jack Bozeman MT, near the northern end of the U.S. Rockies

    seat lock

    I've been reading up on locks & locking and found this website section on better securing of seats and wheels to be very well done. In fact, the entire Best Bike Lock site is IMO exceptionally well written and an excellent tutorial. However, a clever young University student posted a video...

    Throttle or no Throttle? The Solution: Adapt!

    @Tora Harris my apologies for now beating the dead horse...but reading the (very helpful) chart, it appears there may be no reason to receive a 'new display' if I want a Class 3 CC but ALSO a throttle. In this case, I would only need to order the 'throttle kit' that is shown above (which is...

    Battery prices

    Gavin, I suspect you and Elon may be talking apples & oranges. Musk is likely describing his cost for 1 KW's worth of small lithium batteries. You are comparing that to "A replacement battery for my ebike...." That replacement battery you mention no doubt comes in a case. The individual...

    New to this - asking for help!

    @Robert Smith I may be reading too much into your original post but it sounds like you are not sampling ebikes by riding them. You may not have a local bike shop (LBS) that sells ebikes BUT I'd encourage you to explore the area where you live and see if you can jump on a few ebikes and see what...

    Cross Current

    @Rindy , congratulations on your new CrossCurrent! As you might recognize from the length of this thread, there is much interest in learning more about the CrossCurrent. So I hope you post more comments about how you are using your specific bike and how it's performing. Battery/range...

    My New Conduit+

    "One of my concerns with mid drive system was higher wear and tear on drive train, especially derailleur gears.... I've started using assist levels like an additional 3 gears, anytime I need to get back up to cruise speed after slowing down, counter a bit head wind or short incline, just switch...

    IZIP E3 ProTour

    @FredB thanks for the pirep as it's always helpful to see a bike thru another's lens. I'll be riding one next week and look forward to the experience. iZip's website says nothing I can find about any of their bikes being COBI compatible. COBI's website doesn't mention Currie motors nor iZip...

    Looking for a solid bike for a long commute

    @e_adventure thanks for the comments on the OHM and for the heads-up to monitor that forum. I'm about to fly half way across the country in order to sample a variety of ebikes, and the XU700 is perhaps the one I'm most curious about. For me, one Q is whether it can be modified to accommodate...

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    That link alone made my head start hurting, J.R.

    Want a comparo of Haibike models to decipher features vs pricing

    Perhaps I'm in agreement with @Shaggy, at least in the sense that I find the Haibike USA website to be just as obtuse and un-helpful for the diligent shopper as the available Haibike models are numerous. Initially burrowing down one or two levels within the Yamaha/Bosch arenas is simple enough...

    Making of Juiced Riders

    "I like the passenger seat--very cool!" @Jim W did you watch the latest ODK review with 240# Sam 'driving' and 135# @Court riding 'shotgun' while holding onto those mini-bars? A bit of the 'Bear riding a bike at the Circus' but quite impressive even so. @Ravi Kempaiah, please watch those...

    Easy Motion Street: System Power Cuts Out

    @Ebike Commuter and @HaveBlue, you might not notice Vincent's message to you earlier today. I too would be curious if Ebike Commuter, with a shop's help, found an internal wiring problem and was it connected...and whether HaveBlue's problem was solely that same problem. Gives those of us...

    Another Sondors CF Campaign.. This one on KS

    Here's a February 2016 review of the KS model from Electric Bike - highly favorable and with a look back at the IGG campaign and whole Sonders 'movement'. But it left me wondering about the ~1500 IGG funders who apparently got stiffed.

    Looking for my first Ebike

    Jeff, you're frozen link is illustrating the benefit of buying from a LBS in that you can have it readily repaired under the warranty. My guess: a bent pin. But ask the shop if it's a cause or a symptom. IOW is this just due to poor QA at the factory when assembling the bike from their parts...
