    Yet another CCX owner

    "it seem like to the motor sometimes wants to start going when your at a light and slightly put pressure on the pedals and maybe roll the bike a little forward(a few inches)" This was one of the first things I noticed on my CCX. Since all of my riding has been on road bikes with clipless...

    Vado 5.0 - 45 months ownership - approximately 23,000+ miles

    Four chains, four cassettes and four motors in 9 months! 5000 miles is fair amount of riding but I've had 10,0000 mile years on my Cannondale CAAD bikes with very little wear. I've always read that mid-drives can be brutal on the drive chain by the sheer nature of their design but this seems...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    In Tesla-land this is recommended practice. When new, your 85kwH Tesla battery should provide a maximum of 265 miles of range. Often you'll see people posting about the fact that their full charge is only 256 or some other arbitrary number lower than 265. The recommendation is always to let...

    No Bafang used by mainstream bike manufactures.

    I ride on this paved two-lane bike path that goes from the mountains to the ocean and never crosses a road. There are numerous underpasses, however, and some of them can be pretty steep. I find the throttle is extremely useful to boost up these underpasses. Gravity takes you only so far and...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    I'm not sure a Juiced Chart exists. I've only found this blurb on their FAQ website: https://support.juicedbikes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019972732-Quick-tips-Charging They use the word "about" and they use 20% and 80% for both their 48v and 52v battery packs.

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Thanks for this information. I didn't really read through a lot of the technical/argumentative posts in any kind of detail. I still tend to lean towards Juiced's recommendations. I can't believe that the minimal pedaling input I provide would make such a difference in numbers.

    I should also add that another very important point was that I live about an hour's drive from Juiced HQ. It's a very beautiful and easy drive on the I-5 along the ocean and my wife and I do it often to head into San Diego. I knew that if I had any problem I could literally pop the bike in the...

    "I just follow Occam's Razor: the simplest explanation is usually correct. Juiced gets far more complaints than any other brand, therefore they are the least reliable." Dan - This also could be true because there are more Juiced bikes being sold than any other manufacturer. Just by looking at...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    I'm missing something. Juiced says for the 52V that 80% is 55V and 20% is 45V. The chart above says 80% is 56V and 20% is 52V. It also states that 0% on the 52V is around 46V. I think the stock setting for low voltage cutoff on the Juiced CCX is around 42V. I bumped it up to 45V for my...

    My interactions with Juiced have been nothing but positive. I have a very powerful eBike (CCX) for quite a bit cheaper than the "big-box" manufacturers. My bike just works. Can go for 80 miles on ECO and a good 60-70 miles at 20+ mph. I absolutely love riding bikes again because of this bike...

    When I was a kid anything that said "Made in Japan" meant it was cheap garbage. Now if something says "Made in Japan" it's generally thought of to have high quality components.

    Schwalbe Marathon Plus a lot worse than stock Kenda tires!

    "tire come out from under me while rounding a corner over a wet metal grate" In 50,000 road bike miles this has nailed me a few times over the years as well. That's on skinny 23mm slick road tires, however. I wouldn't imagine the tire size and tread pattern would make a huge difference but...

    Locks and Security Solutions for Electric Bikes

    "Curious to know if this guy on YT could possibly be sued by the corporate giants for all of this negative exposure. So informative though..." He takes their product, he takes some cheap off-the-shelf wire cutters, he cuts their product and says "that was sure easy". What's there to sue about...

    CCX intermittent power

    I vacillate on my thoughts about Mike's posts. I'm leaning towards the fact that he's a guy with a ton of experience on the eBike industry and vocal with his opinions. Sometimes I think he has an agenda as the bike I was looking at has a few posts from him knocking it but when reading his...

    CCX intermittent power

    Very happy with my Juiced bike but it's very early on for me. Reading through these vendor-specific forums would scare most away from almost any eBike. Specialized, Trek, Stromer, etc. All seem to be filled with some very concerning issues. Customer service is paramount right now in this...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    I'm going to use the numbers provided directly from the manufacturer's website for their specific battery pack. I am interested in the science behind it, however, and find this discussion interesting.

    CCX intermittent power

    Makes me wonder if buying a couple cheap velcro straps like others have done would be prudent to proactively stop any side to side movement that may show up later. Not really anything to lose if you charge the bike with the battery still on it.

    CCX intermittent power

    I only have 100 miles on my CCX. The connection is solid as a rock so far. I've only removed the battery once and charge with it on the bike. I suppose this is something that could show up after a few more miles are on the bike and it's jostled around a lot more.
