    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Loose spokes can be felt by hand, and also the wheel will start to make some 'creaking' noises. Spoke tightening can effectively be done without a truing stand. Of course you will need the wheel to be off the ground, so you will typically either want a bike repair stand or have the bike...

    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Your logic is accurate and the 700 will fulfill your needs just great. And I believe (although I don't have kids and am now retired so I don't have the same family/work time commitments you have) that you will find yourself wanting to get out and ride your e-bike often. If I could have only...

    New Hyper Scorpion - not all electronics working

    The problem is that I think Juiced is still on "first production" of these bikes (Hypers).

    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Fact #1: Riding e-bikes is FUN, and you will likely want to ride your new bike A LOT. I used to love riding acoustic bikes, doing daily conditioning rides and weekend fun rides on both the dirt and the street. Riding centuries was a lot of fun, at that time. Then riding acoustic bikes became...

    New Hyper Scorpion - not all electronics working

    Thinking a bit further on this, we might very well be in a situation where the early adopters get initially burned on this bike. Although I do have confidence that Juiced will fix things in the end. The Hypers have new controller and motor technology which, due to COVID shutdowns, likely went...

    New Hyper Scorpion - not all electronics working

    Well, this situation truly sux for everyone, and if my Hyper ships as scheduled (maybe today) I too could be on the 'sux' list by next week! It seems like Juiced has made the decision to focus on getting as many bikes shipped to customers as they can, and deal with problems/issues later (sounds...

    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Also, living with any specific e-bike you get to know what you really like and want in your next e-bike, and the one after that... The R1U 700 was the first 'do everything' e-bike I bought in January of this year after having sold our previous bikes (10 year old Pedegos). But after that (and a...

    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Anyone can work on hydraulic brakes. However it has always seemed to me that many folks who don't have experience with them don't want to. Plus you might need a couple of new tools to work on them. Not a huge challenge by any means, and gets easier every time you work on them. But more folks...

    Ride1up core 5 or Radmission 1?

    Disk brakes on bikes and e-bikes are GREAT. Hydraulic disk brakes are better than mechanical disk brakes, but not by as much as many make them out to be. I would consider hydraulic disk brakes to be virtually mandatory on eMTBs if you ride semi-aggressively or harder. Easy trail riding - not...

    Scorpion: minor flaws

    If I recall correctly, the Scorpion and HyperScorp have cruise control... "To activate the Cruise Control function: Use the throttle or pedal assist to reach your desired speed. Push and hold the Assist Down Button for 2 seconds, when the “C” graphic appears, release the Assist Down Button and...

    Torque sensor vs Cadence...

    One thing to really think about with a cadence sensor bike is whether you will be riding with others. My wife has 3 e-bikes in general rotation, 2 with torque sensors (including one with a Bafang M600, which she absolutely loves) and one with a cadence sensor. She also loves her bike with the...

    Scorpion: minor flaws

    Thanks for your continuing review updates on the new bike. I wonder how easy it would be to buy a thumb throttle (which I also prefer to a twist throttle on an e-bike), install it and switch other bar components around? Does the current twist throttle have a mid-wire disconnect from the...

    Sounds like Amazon is going to have some 'used' Evo's in stock very soon! I'm glad you found a pair of helmets and hope that you enjoy them as much as we do. Another note. For those whose use profile is as simple as ours (2 riders who just want to listen to FM radio or talk to each other...

    I'm new. To EBR and eBikes

    Welcome! I think that many of us are so happy that others are discovering the pleasure and usefulness e-bikes that we definitely don't mind answering questions, even if it has been asked before. Things are happening fast in the e-bike world, and an exact question answered 6-12 months ago may...

    Bosch update test

    I know that with the gen 2 motors with Intuvia display, when you '+' up to Sport mode the lower part of the display flashes to "EMTB" for only about a second, and then reverts back to what it had previously displayed (e.g.: Trip distance). The display still only specifies 'Sport' in the upper...

    Brushed Aluminum HyperScorpion- Setup and First Ride Impressions

    Welcome and congrats on your new Hyper. It looks great! We ordered a BA Hyper for my wife in early Feb, so looks like it is estimated to ship Thu or Fri. Hope it is Thu as we're close enough that bikes get delivered in 1 day from Juiced. Can't wait. :p

    New Hyper Scorpion - not all electronics working

    O.K., a couple of maybe really dumb questions. But my HyperScorp won't ship until next week, so I don't have one to check stuff out on in my garage yet... That display/controller looks like the same Advanced Matrix Display which Juiced used on some other bikes (like my old RipCurrent S). It...

    protecting battery connector points - silicone grease or something else?

    For battery contacts you want to use a dielectric grease like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Permatex-22058-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL8VD2/

    Bike To Bike Communication

    Yes, sometimes the "mesh intercom" command worked, but most times it turned on the taillight. Same for my wife at home before the ride started (which was almost the only time "Hello Sena" would actually respond to her.) The 'taillight' command always turned it off, though. Yes, I heard it...
