For both the Scorpion and the HyperScorpion, I've found that there's a way to split the difference between wattage used from one PAS level to the next. Let's say you're on PAS 1. If you go to PAS 2, it may be more assistance than you need (if you like actually pedaling, as I do.) But you want a...

I bought a HyperScorpion in November when the Black Friday sale hit their website. I got it about two weeks ago, and I've put a little over 150 miles on it so far. Here are my thoughts and observations up to this time. First and foremost, the combination of a powerful motor, powerful...

I've been enjoying the Scorpion. There are things I miss about the CCS but on the whole it was a good choice. Quick recap: the arthritis in my knees made it more difficult to get on and off the CCS so I wanted a step-through frame. Decided on the Scorpion, despite its variance from a standard...

Well, a very pleasant young man came and bought the old CCS today. I offered it at a reasonable amount and, after looking at the bike and taking it for a test ride, he paid the asking price. He had researched ebikes a lot and felt like he was getting a bargain. Which it was, especially when you...

In Tora's latest blog, he discusses the service problem. I'm glad to see an honest admission of Juiced Bikes' failures on the customer service front, and a commitment to improving it. This has kept Juiced from enjoying a higher regard among ebikers. Here's the link.

I don't like the cockpit set-up. It's basically okay, no one will have any real trouble using it. But there was one decision made that necessitated a series of bad choices, a cascade of minor flaws. They decided they had to have a twist-grip throttle, I imagine to make it more like a moped. And...

After 100 miles on the Scorpion, something has become clear: it's deceptively efficient. Like most of us, looking at the geometry, I figured most people would depend on the throttle, with the pedals to keep it legally in the non-licensed bicycle world. But when I went looking at step-throughs...

Our home was flooded by Hurricane Florence. During the restoration, I decided we'd like having a smart home system. Lights, switches, plugs, fans. It's very convenient and kind of fun. The grandkids love it. We put a "charging station" in the area where we charge our ebike batteries. Wife has a...

I love my CCS. A little over 2 years old, with 4000+ miles on it. But I'm not getting any younger. The arthritis in my knees makes it hard to get on and off. I've dreamed about getting a CCX since they came out out, but swinging that leg over the seat to get on and off is more difficult all the...

Tora is off to China to oversee manufacture and shipping again -- but has to do a 14-day quarantine. This video is an interesting view of how the coronavirus is affecting travel and so forth.

Detailed discussion on tire pressure. I'm no expert. This guy sounds like he has both knowledge and experience.

Eben Weiss nails it.

For a while, earlier this year, we had many complaints about poor service and long waits for delivery of new bikes. I noticed this summer that people were starting to report waiting 2-3 weeks instead of 2-3 months to get their bikes, and we haven't had as many threads about poor service for a...

Big auto firm getting into the ebike game. I'm sure they see the end of the internal combustion engine and are looking for ways to stay viable. Electric cars alone won't do it.

Short video about Juiced Bikes new warehouse. Looks like offices also. They are moving on. No longer a boutique manufacturer, JB is poised to be a major player. I hope @Tora Harris still makes his interesting and entertaining videos, showing the manufacturing process and riding his new bikes.

Bonnie has been using the black nylon bag on the front of her bike that came with it. It worked OK but did nothing for her in the looks department. She's been looking at baskets for a month or so and finally purchased this one. I agree, it does look better. Roomier, too.

Good article on the solar-powered ebike race from Lyons to Guangzhou this summer. Jack Butler is the guy I rooted for, having discovered his YouTube channel a while back. I also follow the author's YouTube channel, so it's a neat confluence. Jack Butler showed what can be done with limited...

CCX video on the Juiced Bikes website. I like these views of China, and we get to hear @Tora Harris talk about the bike as he rides. He mentions that a lot of people asked for a 0 mode, so he's included it. Lights etc. work, just no power to the motor from pedal assist. The throttle still...
