    Cycle Satiator

    A couple of days ago I noticed that my Cycle Satiator had stopped charging. There was power going to it, but apparently something had caused all the programed charging settings to be deleted. I contacted Tora at Juiced Bikes, and he told me to bring it down. I took it in right away and dropped...

    Making of Juiced Riders

    I got the moped front tire, and have been riding on it for a week now. I don't notice any difference in handling or speed, but I am much more confident knowing that they're not going to have to be replaced for a long, long time. They're Shinko SR714, and they require 33psi.

    Making of Juiced Riders

    My ODK is over at Juiced Bikes right now getting the front tire replaced with one of those highfalutin moped tires. I'll have to wait on the rear tire because it's almost brand new. I can't wait to get the bike back. The semester has started down at the community college, and the parking...

    Making of Juiced Riders

    Yes I did. The last time I spoke with the folks at Juiced Bikes, the moped tires were still "top secret." Now that they're putting them on all their ODKs, I'm sort of looking forward to that upgrade when my tires finally give out.

    I like the passenger seat--very cool!

    Making of Juiced Riders

    Yes, I got the 32Ah . . . I think it was in October last year. The bike is still just as fun to ride as day one. I re-purposed a child's bike trailer for it and made something I can haul huge amounts of groceries on. But since then I've added Juiced Bike's front and rear "combat" baskets, so for...

    Panniers?

    CafeRoaster, I'm not using panniers on my ODK because I opted for the rear basket. However, I was looking around for some new equipment for my motorcycle when I remembered the Wolfman Motorcycle Luggage website. They make a couple of series of panniers for motorcycles that beat anything you can...

    This is a cool bike

    I didn't know that about rubber and oil. I'll keep that in mind. And yes, I'm sold on slime tubes, particularly when a full-on flat tire means I have to push a 75 pound tank up all these hills where I live.

    This is a cool bike

    I have to tell you that I really, really appreciate the fact that the ODK version 3 comes with inner-tubes already filled with that tire goo substance. A couple of days ago I was riding home from class. About a quarter-mile outside the campus I ran over something sharp and punctured my rear...

    Yes, that's what I meant. I'll go back and edit it.

    Get the 32 if your daily travels are lengthy. Also keep in mind that as the battery nears the end of it's charge, you'll notice a significant decrease in power; and in order to maintain the same speed as you had when the battery was full, you'll have to pedal harder. For me, the last two miles...

    This is a cool bike

    Thanks, Tora, for the detailed explanation on mileage and battery life. Yes, the Cycle Analyst has become my best friend now. On top of that, it makes the bike look even cooler. With all the displays, dials, oil level gauges and harnesses on the handlebars, I'm reminded of the cockpit in one of...

    This is a cool bike

    It's been seven days since I got the Cycle Analyst, and I've put 45 miles on the battery so far. I had a full 32 Ah charge when I started, and I now have 6 amp/hours remaining. Tora recommended that I only use 4 of those 6 amp/hours to avoid depleting the battery. So, given the geography of my...

    Battery warmer

    Hi Maraetsky, I'm glad I don't have to worry about that kind of issue. Unfortunately I can't give any definitive advice on your question; however, if I had to store my bike for three or four months, rather than buy a battery warmer, I'd just unscrew the battery from the frame and store it...

    This is a cool bike

    Got it! The Cycle Analyst is a great addition to the bike's electronics. Now I know how many amps I have left in the battery, and whether or not I'm going to be pushing or pedaling my bike back home. Merry Christmas everyone!

    Adding a light powered off the battery pack

    I like the system you have; I wouldn't change anything. People will definitely be able to see you coming and going with that much light. It's great to have a battery large enough to allow the use of these kinds of powerful lighting and accessory options, isn't it?

    Hey Ravi, Tora had to keep the bike the entire weekend to do the work. I suspect I'll get an e-mail on Monday to come and pick it up. I'll let you know how many miles I can actually get on an 80% chg

    This is a cool bike

    My ODK is now at Juiced Riders over the weekend to get the Cycle Analyst installed. While I was there, Tora showed me some new accessory items he's getting ready for production. One is a headlight that will connect to the ODK's battery, and allow the user to plug in an additional electrical item...

    Adding a light powered off the battery pack

    If you haven't already purchased the B&M system, Tora, at Juiced Riders, has a system for the ODK that ties into the bike's battery via a special cable harness. This system is wired so that not only can you plug in the light, but it also has a pigtail for you to power anything up to 100 watts. I...

    My Cycle Analyst arrived at Juiced Riders yesterday. (Tora had sent me the tracking info, so I was able to see the shipping progress.) I suppose he'll be calling me soon to bring my bike in for the install, but if I don't hear from him today, I'll probably give him a call so I can get that thing...
