    HyperFat HF1000 - Disable Automatic Assistance? (On Demand Throttle Only for Exercising) + My Speed Limit setting isn't obeyed less than 14 MPH

    Well just think about the things the last car you bought didn't have something you wanted. For me, I would have preferred a better smart console interface, upgraded audio deck, adding rear seating AC ducts. Likewise I couldn't afford the upper trim for the faster engine now and because of that...

    thanks chris, if that chart is good to go by then the cut off should happen at %20 and I won't be in danger of completely discharging the battery.

    HyperFat HF1000 - Disable Automatic Assistance? (On Demand Throttle Only for Exercising) + My Speed Limit setting isn't obeyed less than 14 MPH

    ...I..thought I just wrote up several reasons why you DON'T see consumers modding/upgrading cars.. yes.. yes that is indeed what I wrote. It is very difficult to update cars because of parts cost and labor since the equipment cost and skills are a lot higher. That doesn't nessecarily mean the...

    I remember the performance drop discussion, and that wont be a problem because I use assist only. I'll have to see how far I can drain it this time and see what the true floor is. Considering I have 60 mile on it in 3 charges of level ECO and 1 riding, the battery should have tons of power left...

    HyperFat HF1000 - Disable Automatic Assistance? (On Demand Throttle Only for Exercising) + My Speed Limit setting isn't obeyed less than 14 MPH

    Asher, in reality though if you buy a $1000 ebike.. most of the money is in the electrics and battery so the bike is made of cheap parts. Also your car analogy could not be more wrong. I am sure most people would love to upgrade or replace certain things on their car, even bought new! (No car...

    Why? I don't need anything more complex that could break in the future.

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

    You say they don't but then they turn around and implement indepth power meters and let you do thing like set your own voltage cut offs. Seems like juiced wants to give as advanced power control to the user as possible. Also this would be ideal in a remote customer service sense because a simple...

    So on my Ccs I've been getting it low enough to a point where I don't think it will last another run before charging it. It is on its third charge now and I am getting a strange inconsistency between the battery lights and the computer LCD. The battery is showing 2 out of 4 lights but this is...

    First few days with Rip Current S

    My Ccs with its 13kwh battery is pulling some funny stuff, too. The LCD is showing 2 bars to empty but the battery is still showing 2 out of 4 lights full. I'll post my pics of the data screens tomorrow to see what I can do.

    2016 Crosscurrent vs New Crosscurrent Air

    That older battery now has the same capacity as that new bike, and the motor has years of wear and tear.

    Chuck, I'm 220 and the suntour is working well for me. Someone was commenting that it comes with a tight spring to begin with so it's set for heavies out of the box.

    Made by and FOR 'Mericans! Didn't take long (although first week I was riding without bike shorts) but I am experiencing the groin numbness issues so looks like I will be picking up a crotchless saddle. Havn't done a lick of research on them yet so any brand suggestions will help.

    Got my Suntour suspension seatpost and its amazing. Did 12 miles last night and not once did I feel I needed to stand when going over rough road. I did need to play with the height and angle a bit more to reduce stress on my forearms, I think after tonight I figured it all out. Actually if...

    Pedelec and P.A.S. (Pedal Assist Systems)

    I only use throttle to cross busy streets, other wise it just sucks power like no tomorrow. Even light pedaling can give good range per amp on the battery so I keep pedaling. That said I plan to convert a trike for my mom and I suspect it will be on throttle %90 of the time. Me and my dad both...

    Is e-Biking Cheating?

    Why aren't there CHEAP & RELIABLE e-bikes in North America?

    Our infrastructure is far more spread out then others so we never had a need for alternatives modes of transport except for a select few highly dense cities. Also our litigation system is far less...forgiving? If you look back at when the electric hoverboards were a thing, lack of proper...

    Is e-Biking Cheating?

    I look at e-bikes as a way to get a decent workout while enjoying things like fast speeds, as well as no worry that you will ride so far that you will be too pooped to make it back. Also if your ride takes you into trafficked areas alot then it can help you quickly get out of there and back onto...

    Lol, so is this indeed just a symptom of construction? Im not putting any load except my fat ass so no noise yet, but just incase I hear I should just chalk it up to unsolvable without a different motor? So I got my bike at the beginning of the week, got most of my additional accessories (much...

    From what I saw, I have plenty of options with 9 speed cassets so if I want to play with ratios down the line I won't feel bad about sticking with a 9 speed derailleur. You seem to think I am replacing the entire drive train but I am not. Sticking with 9 speed means I get to keep the same chain...
