I was talking about bikes with a friend at work the other day, I mentioned I had a lot. He asked how many, i guessed 15. When I got home I decided to count, it's actually 16. Granted this includes kids and grandkids but I think I have a problem ;)

Sorry to hear about your difficulties with your bike. Honestly, the Reention battery mount design is probably one of the things I really don't like about the bike. It is not really natural or fluid to install the battery, it should honestly be easy to use the key when remounting the battery, but...

There are some actual studies on the health benefits of ebiking vs. regular bikes. https://peopleforbikes.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/1-s2.0-S2214140516303930-main.pdf There are others as well. Key points, Ebikes tend to get ridden more often, (more enjoyable to ride, less fear of hills/...

So, you are correct that the CCS is not currently available with the 52V battery. However, for a 20 mile one way commute, the 48V/ 19.2Ah battery will be provide plenty of range. I would still recommend planning on charging at work. This would be true even with the 52V battery. In my...

Personally, I think the lack of an odometer was a big oversight. Fortunately you can use nearly any simple bike computer. I have yet to own one that doesn't have an odometer. You can spend ~$15 or $300.

I have had my battery cut out a few times. However, every time it has happened, it has been the result of the lock not fully engaged. I have been able to pull the battery out without the key and replace which has fixed the problem.

Did yo notice the minimum monthly service charge of $14.95??? Juiced does charge far more up front for the GPS, but monthly monitoring is included for the first year and only $5/ month after that. At the 1 year mark you be roughly break even $240 for the Amazon unit and $250 for the Juiced unit...

Okay a quick update on my low GPS battery. (Kinda a "duh" moment for me.) I placed a support ticket with Juiced last night about the Trackimo app notifying me of a low battery at 10%. I got an email response today from Juiced. They stated that the GPS battery only recharges itself when the main...

Mine didn't change. I got the email shipping notification as my first notice that the bike was finally ready to ship.

Yes I use it. It takes a little time to set it up but seems to work well now. I get an alert to my email whenever the bike moves after being idle for more than about 5 minutes. I really like this feature as it tells my wife that I have just left work. It's also nice as a theft safety feature...

Stock battery will be fine for your 10 mile round trip. Congrats on the new bikes. Based on my experience, you'll love em.:D

I agree with the others. This sounds like my bike as well. It seemed to me that the noisy sound you are talking about is when you are accelerating from a slower speed, and the load on the motor is higher than at other points. I'd learn to ignore it, or try using lower assist levels when...

My experience is very similar to yours Asher. I have done a couple of test rides with the power off to get a feel for the bike. Getting the bike up to speed without power is noticeably harder than even the extra weight suggests it should be by my feel. However, once you are cruising, the bikes...

So I can offer you a bit of perspective. My commute is 30 miles each way. I historically did this on my road bike, but fighting headwinds on the way home alot had me taking the train far more than I wanted. I began researching ebikes late last year, I quickly zeroed in on the Juiced CrossCurrent...

I have a 52V battery on my CCS, so far the lowest I have taken my battery down is to ~30% or about 47.5V, (the capacity of a battery really doesn't affect its instantaneous performance, the voltage determines that). The bike's performance does lag some at this point, but its really only...

You seem to be misunderstanding how a hub drive motor applies power to the wheel. It does not use the bikes drivetrain at all. The simplest way to show this is by looking at an ebike with a FRONT hub motor or take the chain off a rear drive, you can still power the bike with the throttle...

I must admit that the $1000 premium for the 52V battery was a hard pill to swallow when I was deciding whether to go for the 19.2Ah or the 52V. I will say I would not have been willing to pay separately for the Grin charger or the GPS. Now that I have them though, I really do appreciate it. The...

I don't think the actual build cost would be the issue. I am guessing that the certifications needed to meet the more stringent regulations would be where the costs would go up dramatically. Also, the advantage of going above 60V would really only be to increase top speed, which means you are...

An offset box end wrench or a thru-hole socket will work fine. I am using an offset end wrench, I did the rear wheel removal to convert to tubeless. If you have done bike maintenance before, the job is really not that difficult. I carry the offset wrench in my bike tool kit on the remote chance...

So any assessment of range needs to have some sort of standardization in order to make comparisons useful. This means variables affecting range are controlled for, in order to actually assess the bike, not the confounding factors. This means wind, hills, tire pressure, tire type, aero factors...
