    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Marcela, I run Fättie at around 30 psi. I’ve yet to dropthe pressure any lower. I’d certainly run them higher and see if the squirrelly-ness goes away. Most of my riding is on gravel rail-trail, but I do a lot of earth trails, and even in winter with 1”+ snow on the ground. And...

    Rad’s also having a weekend sale this weekend on the RadRover 6+ (26” wheels).

    Ah, I didn’t realize the RST Guide came in different configurations. Apparently it does. Thanks for the update, though. Enjoy.

    2025 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I’m glad for you, Charge, that pub life has recovered since COVID. Around here we lost a lot of (mostly good) “pub-ish” style restaurants. C’est la vie.

    You can live in the future with specious and unreliable predictions, or you can get a bike now and get riding. I know which I’d choose.

    Looks like electronics upgrade plus suspension seat post. Also, obviously, different frame but I don’t know if that’s a plus or minus for you. The Aventure 2 certainly has a lot of riders/followers. I’ve heard very few (if any) negatives about it.

    Anyone else still putting miles on their RipCurrent S?

    Excellent! Glad to hear it! I’m afraid that parts bikes are the only way to really keep going at this point. It seems (to me) that there was very little inventory of parts out there when Juiced vanished and/or people are hoarding them (I doubt that). I guess that would be my advice who...

    Turris time!

    There are a bunch of good ones out there (from what I read), nerd, but be aware that most of them are most decidedly not lightweights.

    Interesting, Marcela. Keep me/us posted. Does your model have the RST Guide front fork suspension? I’m just curious as I was considering that fork as a replacement on my bike down the road (that’s a whole other long story :) ). Tell me/us what you think about the weight of the bike?

    Portola Thread

    That doesn’t happen on my RipCurrent S, Larry. The throttle and the pedal assist should (IMO) be independent, and cadence-only motor control might be a bit binary. But, honestly, it sounds like the controller on the Portola is a bit primitive. Many people complain about the throttle on...

    This is just from a few months ago, see below. Also, regarding fatties, you might want to look at 20” tires as they are popular now, and all the vendors I mentioned in that thread have versions of 20” bikes. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/fat-bike-advice-to-my-eye-doc.57373/

    Wired Cruiser - monster truck of ebikes.

    Looks like fun. That’s awfully heavy, although I thought my Juiced RipCurrent S was heavy when I first bought it… I’ll be curious to know if you can actually get comfortable banging the Warrior around on single tracks. I feel like this might’ve been the next evolution of a Juiced bike if...

    Racing eMTBs: Taking On A Special Challenge

    There are oh so many human flaws that have reared their ugly heads in modern times. Frankly, the urge to cheat seems like very small potatoes to me, but I’ll stay far away from that argument. :) In any case, for a race official like you, I’m sure it’s of primary importance and (while not new)...

    Portola Thread

    Sorry, I don’t know your bike. But, this sounds like your bike uses only pedal cadence to apply its power? I don’t know if your bike has torque sensing capability, but you should look for that in your settings (and check your manual). Some bikes offer options in this area. Regardless, the...

    Are Any Of The Amateur Radio Operators On Here Bringing Any Gear With Them On Bikes Rides?

    👍 Radio has always played to the human condition of wanting to communicate... even from remote places. I don’t know if it’s always been true outside the US, but In the US acquisition of ham licenses required testing and demonstration of levels of skill/knowledge/training/electronics. Long...

    Terrific analysis and fair. Very well-spoken guy!!! I love that he pointed out the irony with DJI and self-imposed regulations on drones… It is what it is, and it will play out the way all personal liberties play out. I’ll have to find some way to get an Avinox-equipped fat-tire bike before...

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Thanks for clarifying. Obviously, I was just reacting to incorrect information / rumor coming from someone.

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Totally know that story, Ràs… Juiced was around for 15 years before they imploded. Having said that, my bike was not prevented from working. I think that if the bikes became unrideable, that’s a fatally-flawed security system. Unbelievable.
