Have you gone on Juiced's Facebook page to share this story? It gets a lot of eyeballs.

What a load of baloney. Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it isn't a great way to go. I doubt that anyone speaks for "the majority of tour riders." The sister of a friend of mine, Lael Wilcox, is an awesome distance rider. She won the 4,200 mile Trans Am in 2016, beating...

😆

I put a riser stem on my CCS. Made a big difference. I can see no reason you couldn't put those handlebars on a CCS. The hydraulic lines etc. aren't that short. Placement might not be perfect. Also, strongly consider getting the L instead of the XL frame. When I got mine, they said the L...

I disagree. All the videos I've seen refer to the different pedaling, but no one cites it as a problem after a day or so of adjustment. I'll let you know if it's a problem for me. I expect to use pedal assist more than I do on the CCS while I'm getting used to it. I don't expect it to be a long...

I've got a Scorpion coming in the next few weeks and I'm not the least worried about cops thinking it's a moped. Don't over-think it.

There's always something that's going to get ebikes banned from bike paths etc. For a while, it was Class 3 bikes. Now, it's these moped-like bikes. Frankly, if it happens at all, it will be the idiots who ride, no matter what they're riding.

Yeah, I'd like to get that cargo basket accessory. I will be using my Scorpion for commuting, groceries, etc., and it looks like just the thing. On Tora's blog, he says they've shipped the last of the Indiegogo orders, and hope to ship all current Scorpion orders in the next two weeks. I've...

@Asher in the latest update video, Tora unveils an accessory that replaces the pedals with foot pegs on the Hyper Scorpion. So there you go, you called it: it's a moped now. Not that it has to be. Pedals will still be an option. I'd like to see stats some day on how many he sells with the...

Go to YouTube, put Juiced Bikes Scorpion in the search box. That's how I find 'em.

I think you read Tora pretty well. On the other hand, he's no slouch at reading the market, and I think the market for urban cyclists is going to boom. Maybe not in the cargo bike market, but perhaps. Here's an interesting article on city biking and the pandemic. Kinda supports my guess.

I keep wondering if he will ever circle back around to the ODK. There's a steady market for cargo bikes, and I think it will grow as ICE vehicles become less welcome in urban areas. The ODK had a solid reputation for distance and reliability.

There are some YouTube videos of people riding their Scorpion. Some of these guys are doing wheelies and bunny hops. It doesn't look as ridiculous to me as it does to some of the other commenters here. It's not like riding a diamond frame bike; different, not worse. I'm looking forward to...

Sounds like a controller issue.

Acceleration has more to do with voltage. You get better acceleration when your battery is charged up because that's when the voltage is highest. Amperage has more to do with range. You'll have more volts for more distance if you have more amps. So, for instance, a 52 V battery will have better...

Put a ticket in to Juiced Bikes right away. Look under the Support tab on the website.

A friend of mine bought a new bike this weekend, not used. It was "a friend of a friend has got some bikes for sale but they'll be gone by the end of the day" kind of deal. Not illegal, mind you, just -- I better not advertise these things or I'll be swamped.

I'm curious. Is it all over the place if you're traveling on a flat, straight stretch? Mine varies with the load -- wind resistance, up and down hills, etc. That's because all it does is maintain a steady current, not a steady speed like a car's cruise control. If yours is surging or sagging...

@TMH I ordered the blue. That brushed aluminum is nice; I've liked it ever since they started making the CrossCurrents in that color. But the blue really does it for me, even more than the red I got on my CCS. I'm preparing myself to wait until the end of July, and willing to be pleasantly...

The calculations of stopping power and distance are fascinating and I thank y'all for sharing them. Just thinking about my own experience without doing any testing or calculating, I can't imagine stopping from 35 within 15 feet on level ground, much less downhill. There's another physics...
