I’d probably part it out and sell the parts online, but I don’t knowhow useful or necessary that is with a (seemingly) vibrant company like Aventon. In any case, someone may want it out there as a parts bike so maybe try to sell it whole. Again, my opinion only, but I wouldn’t keep it if I’m...

@fifti you should probably tell us what your price range is. There’s quite a few options for eMTB. From your list, you’ll find tons of experience here with the Specialized and probably Scott models. I’ve seen a few Orbea riders too around EBR. Good luck!

Same here… I’m hesitant to cheer or decry this kind of stuff without specifics. I hope it’s not just political. As Charge said, this is surely a Pandora’s box… Worldwide economic factors are incredibly difficult to look at completely rationally.

Welcome aboard, George. If misery loves company, know that you’re not alone in seeing your bike company disappear. Mine (Juiced) went away just a few months after I bought my bike. The good news is that if you like your bike(s) and want to keep it going, you’ll probably be able to find a way…...

Excellent. Huge improvement. Also, FYI, you can charge your phone with the USB-C port on the bottom of the display.

That’s too bad, Charge… Yup. I need to get tested. I’ve been playing trumpet in front of percussion and other brass for years. I’m sure there’s been some compromise.

On an RCS, that’s basically impossible (for me, anyway) if there’s ANY uphill grade. I do ride the (slightly) downhill parts of my rail trail with the motor off, but that’s only if I’m willing to be at or under about 10MPH (which is perfect for the populated areas of the rail trail).

Yup, you surely pay for the privilege of (mostly) great weather down there, Jeremy! Yeah, property tax… The good news for you (trying to look on the bright side) is that if you ever decide to move, you can probably go anywhere.

Aventon and Ride1Up are still very much in business, last I looked. Can you contact them? And, well, you do have confirmation from @rcdanner that it should be able to work.

No you certainly do not. Bummer, dude. Possibly an adapter can be fashioned or bought that makes the proper adjustments. Or, you could replace your 2018 controller with a more recent one that knows how to talk to the H550 motor, but I’m gonna’ keep my mouth shut now about whether or not that...

Wow. I can’t imagine what that was like. If it’s any consolation, Bob, it seems every region in the US has its “nature livability" issues… I don’t know when the last time a serious quake hit the New England area, but I know that surviving our winters has its own set of remarkable challenges...

Also, @jwhy, I can’t get a good close-up, but there are three small pins in a triangle on either side of the the big pins in the big sectors. In the small sector there are two pins on either side of the big pin. The female side (from the controller) has holes for those, and I suspect they...

FYI, this is the connector on the 2022 motor. Again, no guarantees. Even if it fits, it’s possible that your 2018 controller may not entirely work with it. I’m guessing it will though.

^^^ That’s a picture of the motor that’s in the 2022 (final version) RCS. It’s the same as the one I have sitting in my window that I showed you a picture of. The seller on eBay is selling complete rear wheel RCS (2022) assemblies. I think this will work on your 2018 bike, but I cannot say...

@jwhy , you have to be careful; ChatGPT is giving you nonsense. What a surprise. The H550 is the series of the Bafang motor, and the G062 is the specific version in that series that’s on the bike.

Tough call, jwhy. I bought a spare motor (H550, G062 1000W, 2000peak) that was intended for a Juiced RCS 2022 version. Below a picture of the etching on the motor for the RCS 2022… It doesn’t say 1000W, but it is. I suspect (but do NOT know for sure) that this motor will work with your 2018...

You should contact Lectric directly. I’m sure they’ll point you in the right direction.

Maybe there’s some treatment for the leather that you can use to make it a little tackier?

Hey, JG. I have run 4”x26 CST (stock) tires (tubed) on my Juiced RipCurrent S for over 3000 miles and honestly very little wear as well. I run them at around 30PSI. I’ve been extremely lucky with no punctures (I’m sure I’m jinxing myself now). These tires are NOT foldable, and have the most...

@Jeremy McCreary is giving you good advice, but I don’t know how easy it’d be to convert a RadRover fatty over to a mid-drive. Maybe there’s a Bafang solution that’d work. I saw the following BBS02 (modified) that might fit…...
