    Ripcurrent S Replacement Chain

    Not sure if anyone cares, buy I have a Wipperman Connex 9SE chain on my RCS. This chain is made for the rigors of a mid-drive ebike and is to my knowledge the only ebike specific 9 speed chain available. Not only is it a super well-made chain, but is has a quick link, so the chain can be removed...

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

    Power cutting out could be a crushed wire due to the ECU being installed improperly. There is a very specific way the ECU is meant to be inserted in the downtube which is not necessarily intuitive. The power cutting out could be a crushed wire, but probably not. Next, I'd guess you simply have...

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

    Ok, the clearest pic I have of the correct orientation of the rear axle hardware is of the brake rotor side. It's exacly the opposite for the cog side (less the axle lock, which is only on the rotor side). For installing the rear wheel... -First, install both spacers with orientation nubs...

    There is a proper way To put the rear wheel on with the spacers and washers, which one done correctly make the space the right distance between the TS and the smallest cog. I’m outside walking my dog right now, but when I get back in I’ll see if I can bring up the picture I made of the correct...

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

    The LCD may fix it, but if not, the ECU would be the next thing on my list. Also, the battery connector may be at fault. Jiggle your battery when it's locked into the bike and see if the LCD cycles on and off. At this stage, the only other piece of advice I can offer is that the cassette must...

    ***NEW*** Juiced Bikes Club now Juiced Ripcurrent Riders on Google

    When the name was changed to the Juiced Ripcurrent Riders club, Google no longer allowed access to the group pages. Issue has not been resolved, which is a shame because there’s lots of good information about the rip current on the group pages.

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    I've just made a decision here... I'm going with the light bulb discharge method. The reasons are 10-fold and may not make sense to anyone, but on the top of the list is that I want to be more, not less, interactive with my battery in the non-riding season. Set-it and forget-it keeps me further...

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    Thanks for the XLR info. The Grin is so damn expensive, one would think it could discharge the battery too. Insert a sht-eating Grin here!

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    My Grin charger has a male XLR connector output with 3 conductors (+,- and signal), so I'll need to buy a female XLR and solder in a 2 conductor speaker wire because I don't want any chance of aligator clips shorting at the XLR pins. According to your diagrams, I won't need the signal output, or...

    Which brake systems are compatible with Ripcurrent S?

    Thought I would do the front first and if need be, do the rear, but the rear works fine for my type of riding. Plus, it's quite expensive.

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    I can discharge all riding season long by just going for a ride, but when it comes to the end of season battery discharge, I have failed to be able to simply go for a ride at the end of riding season since I got my RCS 2 years ago. Between work, family, holidays and New England weather coming on...

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    I read your hack. I'm not quite that wiring savvy when it comes to charging/discharging of batteries. I was wonderin' if you can do me (and the world) a favor and make a video of exactly how you hook this up with the procedural stuff to make it work. I know it's sort of a tall order, but this is...

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    The thing I like about the bulbs is it's cheap and pretty simple. My bike came with an expensive Grin 8A charger, so putting a lot more $$$ into discharging is killing me, if you know what I mean? Even so, I'll go look at the CD60s now and see if I can see how they'd work for this. Thanks! Oh...

    How do I know when my battery has reached 20% SOC?

    Not suggesting anything particular, but solid state seems most likely to come first. There's literally countless companies working on countless new chemistries from cobalt to sodium. There's huge money at stake here as these new chemistries will power the world.

    Which brake systems are compatible with Ripcurrent S?

    Yes, I installed the Magura MT5e with a Magura MDR-C 180mm rotor on the front of my RCS and kept the Star Union hydraulic rear brake. The MT5e is a 4-piston hydraulic caliper with a 3-finger lever. You will also need the QM40 adaptor to fit the front caliper. There are other options for levers...
