    Marathon Plus Tires - Opinions

    I've got a Marathon Plus on my CC Air. I'm at about 1500 miles, and have had 1 flat. It was a half inch, razor sharp stone that went right through the tread. This thing looked like a tiny railroad spike. It was late in the afternoon, so instead of trying to change the tube, I pulled out the...

    Foam Core Tires for Ebikes

    What kind of speed difference are you seeing vs air filled tires? And is the ride quality noticeably rougher? I've thought about switching my rear tires to eliminate possible flats.

    do you think an alarm may make a lock more effective?

    I disagree. He has the alarm, plus the folding lock and a rear wheel lock. That's way more trouble than most bike thieves would want to deal with. Sure, any bike can be stolen if someone really wants it, but this setup is pretty good. It seems to me that removing the battery could also serve as...

    Known Issues & Problems with Juiced Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I've had a CC Air since March. It shipped with a defective throttle, but Juiced sent me a replacement within 1 week, and followed up to make sure the issue was resolved. No problems since then, and I've ridden in some really bad weather and rough Seattle roads. Worth every penny. Slightly off...

    Stromer ST5

    I think we have to look at other factors once you get above about 25mph. For example, on my 350 watt bike, I can maintain 27-28 for as long as the road stays straight, smooth, and flat and the battery is above a certain threshold. Around me (Seattle area), the straightest, smothest road is about...

    Owner insights on waterproof performance and reliability

    I've ridden a first gen CC Air through some really heavy rain in the Seattle area. My commute is about 13 miles each way. The original throttle needed to be replaced, but ironically this was before I ever rode it in the rain. I was concerned it would happen again, but no problems so far. I've...

    OceanCurrent & American Flyer E Wave S

    They look pretty similar. I don't know how many of the components are identical, but the frame is different. You can tell by the space where the top tube and down tube meet. The Wave has a larger gap.

    CC Motor Burnt Out

    Has anyone reported this happening? Perhaps I missed that report. I hope the moderators are watching posts from this user, because they seem suspicious to me. He seems to have an agenda, especially considering the length and frequency of his posts, when he doesn't even own a Juiced product.

    CC Motor Burnt Out

    This seems like a troll posting an advertisement for Magnum. Are you getting paid by the word? Why is it so long? Allow me to state, that I've had zero Customer Service issues with Juiced (I got a CC Air that needed throttle replacement), but I had to file an Amazon A-Z claim against Magnum to...

    Magnum Premium Folding Bike 500w

    I had issues with the bike that was sent to me direct from Magnum. It arrived, and was labeled as 250 watts (the sticker on the controller compartment), and it performed as such. It was slower than my 350 watt folder. I also had to file an A to Z claim to get my refund. This is why I suggested...

    Magnum Premium Folding Bike 500w

    I had the Magnum Premium. I highly recommend test riding this bike before purchasing. Also, purchase from a local shop instead of the manufacturer if at all possible.

    Tern Vektron or ???

    The bike wasn't able to reach the stated top speed, and was labeled as 250 watts instead of 500. It performed like a 250 watt bike as well. I had trouble getting my refund, and had to file a claim with Amazon. Going to a local bike shop and test riding it would have prevented the situation...

    Tern Vektron or ???

    I've owned both the Magnum Premium and Vika+ 2016 version. I've also ridden the Vika Travel (albeit indoors). My vote goes to the Vika+. I've got about 1500 miles on mine. The Vika Travel is a cool little bike, but 15 miles seems like it would get uncomfortable. I had a bad experience with...
