    RC Motor maintance

    I was wondering the same thing and was also considering sourcing 3 metal gears on Ali Express once I find out the specs of the nylon gears and trolly inside the Bafang RMG06. motor. I just need to wait til my bike's warranty is up. I spoke to Kyle at Bolton eBikes about both lubrication for the...

    Juiced Bikes Rip Current

    Here it is 2-1/2 years later after Tora was explaining the lackluster review and all I can say is my RCS is the rocket Tora says it is. It's also all the things I was hoping it was... it's fast as hell, it's reliable, it's technical, it's upgradable and it's a joy to ride. I look forward to...

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

    By the time the average ebike user gets to the maximum charging cycles, new battery tech will be here that will, after becoming mainstream, be higher capacity, lighter in weight, more durable electrically and be less expensive than the cell you're sporting now. Also, due to new tech, you'll...

    Can anyone verify if Juiced ebikes switched factories where their bikes are made?

    I was under the impression Juiced now owned their own factory in China. I don't think they are partnering with anyone, but who knows. In China, the thug landlord probably takes control of a business just by raising the rent til you can't pay. I have been trying to find out where it is with no...

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    I'm considering making your bulb battery drainer for the long cold months ahead. I sourced a dual e26 socket, because the sockets you sited are no longer available, but I'd like to go a step further and add an auto shut-off curcuit so it shuts off at like 25% soc. That way I can charge and...

    Which brake systems are compatible with Ripcurrent S?

    Magura MT5e is a 4-piston ebike brake. It's a huge improvement over the OEM Star Union on my RCS, but not sure about Magura vs Tektro.

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    Velosurance has an optional AAA for bikes which not only will help with flats in the middle of nowhere, but can get your bike and your ass home if need be. Let's say you wipe out or have a mechanical or electrical issue 26 miles out with your RCS... I doubt your Walk-Mode will be much help and...

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

    I had that problem too with the distance between the TS and the small cog. The 1st several rides were so anti climactic. Then I saw how my rear wheel was put on. I'm telling ya, they had to go outta there way to put a wheel on that badly. Once I installed it properly, I couldn't stop smiling the...

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    Got it! Check this out... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Juiced-bikes-DIY-dual-battery-ebike-kit-for-RipCurrent-S-CrossCurrent-customsize/223325725452? Not exactly what you are looking for, but if you upgrade your motor, maybe a modification of this kit would allow more torque and more battery. Whatever.

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    Huh, I can see your point. Is the TAB working okay on flat ground? When my bike was delivered, the assembler-child in China installed the back wheel incorrectly putting both flat axle washers one one side and the 2 spacers on the outside of the frame instead of the inside. Due to the weird...

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    Not sure if this will help, but you can use the TAB feature for slower inclines, which should give you an unhibited 1000 watts at your disposal (up to 20mph, I think). Bolton Ebikes and Luna both sell what they say is a top notch air suspension fork that should fit the RCS for low $$$. The...

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    You should definitely send that back to Juiced.

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    All I can say is; Every time I watch a new Juice Bikes Tora video, I comment to Tora if he will please give the RCS ECU some attention as owners are having some display memory loss issues and some minor drivetrain issues that should be addressed. Asking Juiced cs doesn't seem to help at all, so...

    My RipCurrent controller display keeps resetting to default settings

    I know two guys who bought their RCSs at the same time and always ride together, so they have roughly the same mileage in their two bikes, which is about 1500 miles. I was showing one of them how to reset the trip meter, and the next day, he told me his odometer reset to 0 too. Everytime he...

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

    Tora has made incredible advancements within his business, from opening a Juiced factory in China and a second office in Chula Vista to hiring a lot more employees in 2 countries- and good help is hard to find! Since he's also the chief designer, I bet he prolly has got his hands full. Even so...

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

    I was experiencing the chain falling off too, so I changed over to a Wipperman Connex ebike chain. It still falls off, but not as much. Luckily, I've learned how to use my foot to get it back onto the front sprocket without stopping the bike. :D

    HOW DO I DISCHARGE FOR STORAGE

    I actually figured out how to discharge a different way. I have a really durable Park PC10 bicycle stand. It can hold the bike’s entire weight. I simply turn the bike on and turn on the cruise control while pedaling with my hand. I also turn on the headlight. This brings the battery down to...

    Magura MT5e front RCS brake

    They may say 160mm is fine for the back brake, but the front is a different story. You may also eat brake pads much faster with the smaller disc. Brake rotors are pretty easy to change out, but to do it right, you should have an inch-pound torque wrench. I bought a good one on Amazon for like $35
