    Replacing JUICED CCS with Specialized VADO, VADO SL or CREO

    This is what I was guessing. Different power profiles programmed in at the different modes. I could imagine a shop not messing with it when the tech was newer (i.e. when I rode the Vado) versus after having some experience with it and allowing lots of test rides (i.e. when I rode the Creo). I...

    Replacing JUICED CCS with Specialized VADO, VADO SL or CREO

    I can park my bike inside at all times (both work and at home) so I’m not concerned about a removable battery. I am also in the US so will have a class 3 bike capability. I rode the VADO SL when it first came out and didn’t feel much assistance on it. I really only recognized significant...

    Replacing JUICED CCS with Specialized VADO, VADO SL or CREO

    I going through some replacements with a Juiced CCS battery on my commuter (45 miles roundtrip). The CCS has served me well over the last 3 years/15000 miles, but I've been off the ebike for about a month now. I can ride my regular road bike, but it leaves me wiped for a day afterwards...

    Report of my first 4000 miles on a CCS (also my first 5 months of owning it)

    These reports are great to read and are similar to what I've been finding. I got mine in July and just crossed 2000 miles. I've got 50 miles a day commuting. I had to replace the rear tire due to a flat. I had to replace the seat collar due to slipping. Other than that everything else is...

    What is a fair way to compare an Ebike to a conventional bike? An eBike for an Amateur Cyclist.

    No dongle necessary that I know of. You only would need a dongle to get motor assistance past the speed limitation. If you're looking for fitness then put in the pedal power necessary to get the bike over 20 mph. I've found on my CCS that the bike is perfectly rideable at speeds higher than...

    What is a fair way to compare an Ebike to a conventional bike? An eBike for an Amateur Cyclist.

    If you want a true quantitative comparison, go buy some power meter pedals (or an aerodynamic-based power meter like the $300 powerpod), use them on all your bikes and ride them all with the same wattage output from your pedal stroke. This keeps them all on a level playing field. Watts are...

    CCS owners who have changed the length of your chain

    I want to say that it was around 116 links for this guy -

    Why did you buy make and model?

    Juiced CCS 1) Large battery equals large range for 50 mile roundtrip 2) Overall positive reviews of the bike itself 3) Good experiences with Juiced support when asking questions 4) Good price

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    I wasn't able to fully charge before the commute due to not having the adapter. I suspect its most likely that the battery had perhaps 75 percent-ish charge when I started the ride. I would have gotten an extra 20-30 miles with that additional charge to easily cover my commute in Eco and 1...

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    Interesting idea. It seems I can perhaps test more quickly if I have the 13 Ah hour by riding a little shorter ~6.5 Ah. If I have the 13 Ah battery, my voltage should be at 50% (~46.5 V) and if I have the 19 Ah battery, my voltage should only be around 33% (~49.9 V). Yes?

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    Got my first commute in. A question for the experts on here, as I think I either have a bad/wrong battery, or started with it not fully charged. I got the super extended battery upgrade to 48 V and 19.2 Ah (didn't go 52 V as they're not available). Short story: the battery died at 12 Ah and...

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    Agreed. I suspect it was just a batch that made it through. I spoke with online chat who looked up the support ticket and immediately filled out an order for the adapter to be sent out of the warehouse today. Not ideal to not receive the part with the original shipment but service has been...

    Order Turnaround - RCS

    They've confirmed that they're sending the part out to me today. Also confirmed that I'll be given a 7 day return period extension past the date that I receive the part. Seems they're working to make things right to me.

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    Bike arrived today (ordered June 29, received July 17). Got it all assembled. It looks quite nice. Its heavy (of course) but seems well built. The rear fender needed a little bit of tweaking and the rear derailleur feels a little off. I think it might need a slight adjustment. I got a five...

    Order Turnaround - RCS

    You're not alone. I just got my Juiced CCS. Went for a quick 5 miles, realigned the rear fender that was rubbing, went to charge and no adapter in my box either. Raised a ticket and will see how it goes. I'll be requesting an extension of the 7 day money back guarantee trial from the date of...

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    I've got at least a dozen stops going straight through Washington DC (blah). I've taken to making jokes and apologizing to nearby cars when racy guys blow through stop signs and red lights. Doing my part to make cyclists look better!

    Three months with CCS: Good and Bad

    I should note that its all been questions about the bike I ordered (which shipped today, only about two weeks after I ordered it) through online chat and not needing service, so perhaps they're more helpful before a sale is complete as I can still cancel and return the order within 7 days.

    Three months with CCS: Good and Bad

    FWIW I've had good luck getting responses from them on their online chat. I've found this to be the case with multiple small businesses that sell online (printrbot 3d printers if anyone knows of them). Have you tried the chat?

    Crazy Stupid Commute

    I call "cheater" on them when they go by me on their $10K aero bikes like i'm supposed to be impressed while i'm on my 25 lbs of commuting adventure bike. Then I REALLY call cheater when they run red lights and stop signs to keep their average speed up.
