    28 mph is FAST!

    Paying more equates often to getting more. Mostly, the "getting more" goes to the purveyor and not the purchaser.

    28 mph is FAST!

    When communicating about an ebike's top speed it is realistic to expect to exceed the stated max. assisted mph -owing to rider input and other factors. I've enjoyed ebike commuting since 2014. My first ebike was an EG Zurich 350IX ST. It was a good entry level class 1 commuter bike, though the...

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Yup, sounds like a good tactic! No need to stress the battery. Experts say NOT to store a lithium Ion battery in a fully charged state (or a voltage below 50%) any longer than necessary. Top-off the battery just before it's next use.

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    IF there is no need to discharge the battery below a 50%, THEN don't! And don't store a lithium Ion battery fully charged for any significant period of time! Your write-up about topping-off at work sounds good. Consider that the CCX's battery charger has a high voltage cut-off limit below...

    8fun 36volt 350 watt Hub drive on a 2010 E.G. Bali with 10 Ah. Li-ion ... Should I try to keep this Alive, Or simply invest in a New ride ??

    Ride that ebike! You can't go wrong for what you've invested! That's a great price for any ebike. Of course, the bike is old based on the controller mfg date, but that doesn't equate to beat or used up. The Bali looks new like maybe it had little use. What matters for any bike is how well it...

    CCX intermittent power

    Reads like you've experienced 18000 miles of smiles! Trouble free riding without power interruptions should be the expectation for all of us. The zip tie method of battery stabilization sounds interesting. Do you have any images showing how the technique worked? On my first ebike, an EG Zurich...

    CCX intermittent power

    O.K., understanding a Reention connector design is prone to intermittent connection failure with higher weight battery packs, the easiest safeguard is to minimize battery removal and installation cycles. Leaving the battery connected to the CCX during recharging is the logical first action to...

    "No fair." In so many ways!

    Well said! I had both knees replaced in the Winter of 2010-11 and have never looked back! In fact, I recommend cycling as part of any rehabilitation regimen.

    Perhaps I am underestimating you as the rider on the road ahead of me.:eek: However, I doubt you are destined for a spot in the TdF. o_O If You're writing about typical racing cyclists, clearly you understand the concept of teamwork and drafting to reach a maximum average speed.:p I too have...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    The stats on that commute were generated in ECO power level with an occasional throttle boost on the short climbs. I have the NDW mode set to "5" -no need to change that setting. I don't think a lower NDW would be useful for any experienced rider. On my last commute...

    To "Juice" or not ?

    YES! And yes, it comes down to percentages. Overall quality of design and build seems to be high with Juiced Bikes. It is logical to have a glitch along the way with any product from any manufacturer. Perhaps Juiced should be more proactive correcting an assembly issue with the rear rack, -even...

    Weather is moderating and temperatures are finally warming up a bit. After a 168 miles, every ride reaffirms my delight with the CCX. It's a great bike for commutes! I was able to get in a decent work commute today! Ride stats here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3460364097

    Love the CCX performance! As a 65 y/o "fat" guy, I would not be considered athletic by anyone's standard -except mine. In fact, according insurance statistics, I am considered clinically obese -what a joke! Around here, it has been a very cold and overall a tough Winter for cycling. Snow...

    CCX intermittent power

    With 140 miles to date on my CCX, I have not experienced any issue with intermittent power. However, in light of these battery connector issues I anticipate the Battery's plug design may need, at some point in the future, to be rebuilt. My thinking is that minimizing the total amount of battery...

    CCX intermittent power

    My exact thoughts on the supposed issue... Perhaps there is a design issue of concern. Some prudent steps may stabilize the issue like: strap supports, and minimizing installing and uninstalling the battery. We may be gaining an understanding that this issue could be the weight of a 14 series...

    OR, an inexpensive Garmin unit, transferable from bike to bike, that can show you which way to go, where you went, with enough stats to justify any adventure.;) My 65 year old physique has lost an inch and a half of height over the years. Weighing in at 230-240 lb and 68.5 inches tall the...

    CCX is a fantastic E-bike. Juiced Bikes is a great company. They have a quick response customer service department. Tora Harris' is hitting it out of the park!
