    Hi gang!

    This is the greatest since sliced bread. What took so long? So many advantages over the single speed hub motor and even the mid drive with a derailer.

    ok,need some help or opinions here

    If it is anything like gasoline the price will go up immediately. They don't wait to raise the price till they get the more expensive load. They get a head start and don't lower it until the higher priced gasoline is gone either. It is called capitalisium.

    Who has the Smoothest and Natural Torque Sensor Hub Drive

    Out of business. I had a Juiced RCS that had a very smooth torque sensing system. You could not tell when it kicked in or shut off without lookin to see if it was using any watts. The good ones are out there but finding one that work well could be a chore.

    Re-greasing the Ultra motor...is it time?

    Has anyone considered the friction caused by heavy grease. Friction is a big issue in the efficiency geared motors. From what I have read it is one of the reason bevel cut gears are seldom used in ebike motors. Quiet ebike motors are nice though. It is one of the reasons to love electric power.

    Comfortable E bike seat

    What others find comfortable may not work for you so take advice with a grain of salt. I started riding bikes again 3 years ago and am probably on at least my fifth or sixth seat and still haven't found anything that fits perfect or is even remotely comfortable after a longer ride. Bicycle seats...

    Bankruptcy and exiting markets

    I bought a Juiced bike because I was sure it was a strong and stable company around for the long haul. The party who bought it from me felt the same way. We all know how that turned out. The fact is it is really hard to tell how strong and solvent a company will fair in the long run.

    Noticeable shimmy/wobble on my step through fat tire

    Remove the cap and if there is an air valve there increase the pressure. It may take a special pump with a straight nozzle. Mine would need about 100 psi.

    Confused Between Electric Bike & Electric Scooter?

    Three miles one way isn't very much so the scooter may be handier and quicker to just jump on and go. Depending on where you can keep it at work the scooter may be easier to store. I have been to China and the streets are crowded with millions of electric scooters. Yes I Googled it and there are...
