Oy!

This is a new one on me, and my first impression is that it’s a very good idea/feature. The new Juiced Scrambler — a high-powered dirt bike-ish affair — has “parent mode” which limits speed/power. I haven’t read up on the details, but this seems like a good way to avoid abusive riding for...

Hi gang, The new Juiced Scrambler is out. Pretty cool and (I think) even more powerful than its predecessors — before Juiced was owned by Lectric. Clearly meant to be a dirt bike-style ride; looks like a ton of fun. https://juicedbikes.com/products/scrambler Welcome back, Juiced. One...

Folks have a lot of different ideas as to what the power meter should show. What makes sense to me, doesn’t seem to make sense to the industry. I’d like each bar to represent a linear amount down to a (programmable) minimum (which is the zero). That means each 20% (linear) interval — five...

Impressive, Rab!

Awesome! I wish I’d been able to make my lovely Merlin Ti MTB fit me, but the upshot is that my son has it in Brooklyn now (young back), so I don’t feel so badly about it. :) Plus, my Fättie has been transformational for me!

Well, it’s certainly time for an update. Like many things, though, I wonder if federal legislation will have teeth at the state level. Anyway, I hope the rules become CLEAR and ENFORCEABLE as those are my criteria. I think questions of technology (like power, etc.) should be avoided, but I...

I won’t get into Newsom… But if 250W is what’s being proposed as an absolutely limit, that is ridiculous. It’s good that there’s a Federal effort underway. @Chargeride is 250 really the limit in Europe? And, by the way, what does continuous mean in terms of legislation. That’s nutz.

That’s right, Chris. The material itself can flex, though. You’re not going to get that margin of error from other bike materials. I guess I was getting at whether this is a good or bad thing for an > 300lb rider. Maybe I’m all washed up. :) For the record, I love titanium!

Looks like a nice ride, Stefan. That pizza is a little too loaded for my taste, but I’ll be it’s an awesome motivator for the ride.

Interesting. Yeah, that makes sense. I actually would’ve bet on the bottom bracket as being the first thing to fail, Pedal… Someone this big using a Ti frame is a surprising choice. Maybe Ti’s flexibility is a good thing here? I’ll be following along. Coolness.

My goodness. 330 pounds. Is that frame titanium? What an interesting build, Pedal!

Fair enough, @Jeremy McCreary ! @stompandgo Huge improvement with the new one! Cool.

Hi gang, No affiliation or experience, but... I’m seeing some batteries on eBay and directly on Yose Power’s site that appear to be compatible (or OEM, not sure) with our RCS bikes… I haven’t ordered any, but it’s tempting. FYI. There’s the 15Ah and 19Ah versions. Price seems reasonable to...

That’s nice and legible. Very good. I don’t know what preceded it, but I know a big, color display really helped me with Fättie before Juiced went belly-up. This TQ display looks really good. I think I still prefer having the display on the handlebars, but I understand why they build it into...

I always do! :D Cheers, Dave.

I reached out by email to the new Juiced folks to see if they were interested in any help or whatever with the reintroduction of the brand. Just FYI, below. While they’re not looking for my help, It’s really nice that these folks are jazzed up to bring Juiced back. I, for one, am wishing them...

🤣

Oh, man, Jeremy… You really are blessed to be able to ride the coast. I lived at the beach one summer (many years ago) and I wish modern tech had existed then. I didn’t have a bike with me, but I was into my RollerBlades and got a lot of attention on those. :) Great stuff. Yeah, that...

Totally understand. Bosch is a company like any other, and they are subject to market forces. I think you were told a lie about support for 10 years in this business, but I’m skeptical that way. My solution, by the way, for dealing with the (unfortunately, immediate) obsolescence when my bike...
