I've been thinking of converting my old Globe. I'm basically ignorant as to how go about getting some of the electrical components I'll need for a conversion. Since my first ebike cracked its frame, I've been planning to utilize it's components for a DIY project. I have a Nexus 8 rear hub along...

Far superior indeed! And in fact it is possible to expend an equal effort per minute whether on an ebike or on a non-ebike.

In consideration of gearing with any bike: Changing gears enables a rider to maintain an optimal cadence when encountering nominal elevation variances. That, along with a combination of cadence and torque assist, allows the ebike rider to maximize efficiency. A combination of cadence and torque...

Having a blast on my ebike! It has been a fast 34 work commutes so far this year. Rides on the CCX ebike have averaged 19.26 mph, making windchill a significant factor. I am wearing a windbreaker even in 60-70 degree temperatures.

The coldest temperature in which I rode the CCX was 31ºF ; At times I encountered some precipitation. I never attempted to ride unless the roadway was clear of ice and snow. The CCX is a fast ride and averaging speeds over 18 mph can be uncomfortable. The biggest factor preventing me from Winter...

It helps to track the bike wear components, and your bike experiences by logging your cycling miles in a blog. I use bikejournal: https://bikejournal.com/home.asp

Winter Commutes were tough going and limited by weather, but since taking delivery 12/01/18, the Juiced CCX has taken me 571 reliable miles down the road.

It's not difficult to grasp the overall concept of battery wear. Even with the most sparing use of a Li-Ion battery, it ultimately will need to be replaced sooner or later! A battery, rechargeable or not, for any device, is meant to be replaced periodically.

Just a guess, it probably is a matter of circuitry design in the charger. All confusion aside, it seems to me there is an ever growing knowledge base on optimizing useful Li-Ion battery life. Understanding optimal Li-Ion battery life is learning there are consequences related to over-charging...

Another consideration is to know that a "full" charge, using the standard charger supplied with the Juiced CCX, does not charge the battery to 100% full charge. The charger supplied tops-off the voltage to 57.7 volts (about 93% full). Any top-off under 100% helps to reduce wear on the battery...

For the most part, it seems to me that some Reention Dorado battery connection issues are related to the massive weight of a Juiced designed battery. The 13# weight of the 52 volt 19.2 Ah battery could be causing vibratory jostling and excessive wear at the connection point. Wear certainly can...

Aesthetics aside, It's got capabilities beyond typical! One damn fine ebike!

Pat, welcome to EBR forums! You look like you could be in the same age category as me. Your message on the "CCX intermittent power" forum note #115 got me thinking you may be embellishing your stats a bit. Hey, that's none of my business, but perhaps I am just a bit envious of those statistics...

Pat, that's a nice looking commuter set-up! I feel compelled to express my perspective FWIW: 28-30 mph, or even your current avg. speed seem like an unreasonable expectation for a 20 to 25 mile commute. As a 245 pound cyclist, that speed average over any significant distance is an impossible...

An EG Zurich 350 IX step thru, my first ebike, was a reliable mode of transportation for more than 8400 miles/13500+ km from the Spring 2014 until the frame crack discovery in October 2018. Getting a Juiced Bikes CCX in December has raised my level of ebike appreciation to an even greater...

Sam, Get on an ebike and ride.

Congratulations, Gigi! I imagine you will have a fantastic time on your CCX! As a 65 year-old 245 lb. bike commuter, my CCX has been my best acquisition for fast work commutes on bike. I have trimmed my R/T commute time, and find the CCX invaluable for cutting through headwinds and the short...

I continue to be very pleased to be a CCX owner! My commutes to work are as quick as I want to make them (Windchill forces moderation). My 15th 2019 work commute: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3526228951 Since delivery: 374.5 trouble free miles.

I had a friend named Jerry who is in heaven now. A very experienced ride leader for years. As age crept in, he decided to no longer be a ride leader, and that certainly was a good idea for him. One of his best years participating in organized rides was his last year on earth. At typical weekday...
