    Battery loose... or something

    @Matthetart , The CCX had similar problem. You may find useful to browse this thread: link Check if the battery connector is still in good shape, then try the velcro strap suggested in the link. If battery connector is not perfect, Juiced will help.

    Yet another CCX owner

    I changed the original chain (KMC that came painted with aluminum color paint, 120 links) because it became stretched/worn after 500 miles. Replaced with KMC 9e (for 9 speed), 136 links, shortened to 118. So far I have 800 miles and looks like new. I only use Finish Line Dry lubricant with...

    Is a CCX noisy?

    At low speed and high torque my bike motor makes also a whirring sound and I feel the vibration coming from it. This noise was present from day one and continues about the same today after 750 miles, so I got used to it. At speeds above 10 mph it is less noticeable.

    To "Juice" or not ?

    This bike is heavier on the front wheel and with a short "trail" what makes it more difficult to control at low speeds, or when using only one hand. It takes some time to "learn" this bike for a person my height.

    CCX intermittent power

    @Tora Harris, regarding the video that shows how to use a soldering iron to displace the male pins of the frame connector, it may be bad advice, I agree 100% with your assessment, but the video points to the real problem: poor connector engagement. In my CCX battery the female sleeves are in...

    CCX intermittent power

    @Tora Harris , Thanks for taking the time to address this thread. I had the intermittent power problem. In my battery the connector sleeves were never displaced (pushed in) and still the engagement of the pins into the sleeves was not enough to prevent a blackout on a bumpy road. By removing...

    CCX intermittent power

    If the battery has too much play, just removing the back o'ring of the male connector will not solve the problem, given that the o'ring removal adds about 1 mm of pin engagement, at best. I measured the distance from the edge of the male connector and the tip of the pins, for both the positive...

    CCX

    @Captain Walnut , regarding the chain drop, be sure the chain catcher is properly adjusted. There is a short article that Luis Metz wrote that should help. LINK.

    CCX-2019 EBR Review

    @Clancy , in my short experience -650 miles- the CCX is a tall bike really great to ride on paved paths at high speed because of its 700C rim and relatively thin tires, a typical "commuter." If you are thinking to ride also on dirt, gravel, sand, even is it is just a 1/2" layer, may be you...

    CCX intermittent power

    @youth , I am going to repeat my suggestions. Should the contacts be spoiled beyond "reasonable" (that is, damage extends more than the very edge of the female contact in the battery) then ask Juiced support to help. If the battery contacts are still "reasonably" ok despite the arching, then...

    CCX Off-Road and Tire Size

    I did not measure actual dimensions of the CCX, but looking at specs: Without removing front wheel, total length is 72", height abt 36". Removing front wheel, length is abt 62", height abt 32" after removing seat I will try removing battery, seat and front wheel, otherwise it is too heavy for me...

    CCX Off-Road and Tire Size

    Hi @SteveADV , It called my attention your "I expect to throw this thing on the back of my Jeep..." Do you mean inside? The CCX is long and heavy. If you find a solution on how to carry the beast I would like to hear. I have a CRV. Thanks.

    To "Juice" or not ?

    @Bruce Arnold , totally agree. I could not have said it with better words! May I add that, when buying online you have better (more critical) reviews thanks to websites like this one. When you buy from a dealer is more difficult to know what are the failures of the bike because people...

    CCX Arriving Friday! Any preventative maintenance/ QC checks I should do at unboxing?

    Yes, in that order: Hafny, brake, throttle, display, from left to right. It took me some time to figure out which screw to tighten first.

    CCX intermittent power

    Wow! You really took all the juice out of the old Cross Current! The velcro straps I am using are as good as a zip tie in the sense that they are not elastic at all. I use two, 2" wide, 24" long. (link)

    CCX Arriving Friday! Any preventative maintenance/ QC checks I should do at unboxing?

    Be sure the "chain catcher" (piece of plastic on the seatpost that keeps the chain in place) is installed and in the right position.

    CCX Arriving Friday! Any preventative maintenance/ QC checks I should do at unboxing?

    My suggestions: - Important: Don't forget to "fill" the warranty form online, in the specified time slot, otherwise your warranty may have a "sudden death"! - Be sure the battery is properly locked in place. Turn on battery and display. Hit hard with the palm of you hand on the right side...

    Should I keep the box?

    @Captain Walnut, I got rid of the box the day I received the bike, after checking everything worked. I turn the battery switch off when I finish using the bike. Be sure the battery is properly installed and locked. Power up the battery and display, and hit hard the battery on the right side...

    CCX intermittent power

    My answers: - Juiced does not send battery connectors. I assume they may consider not everybody is qualified to change that connector. They do send frame receiver/lock assemblies with the corresponding connector. Making changes to the battery has the potential to injure people if they don't...

    CCX Spoke Replacement Instructions/Tips

    Brian, I used the TM1 from Parker to measure spoke tension, used 0.09 inch = 2.286 mm round steel spoke, and entered the data in wta. In my bike the nipples of the front wheel are different size than the rear. You will need to adjust the nipples with the proper nut drivers available in Amazon...
