    cross current s question(s)

    Thanks! That just saved me some headache. I was hoping I didn't have to do the transmission swap but I guess that's where everyone eventually ends up anyway. Oh well. Wishful thinking that I could get around it.

    cross current s question(s)

    Does anyone know if this K-Edge will catch the chain bouncing off to the right side of the chain ring when you are on the 11t gear? I keep getting my chain stuck between the chain guard and chain ring whenever I'm going fast and hitting bumps. I never get the chain dropping off to the left side...

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    The outlawing of throttles is really a direct attack on delivery workers who scare affluent pedestrians walking around. Strange that the city uses this law to draw a line in the sand to keep harass delivery workers but allow pedal assist for the affluent. The result of this policy is the police...

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    This ticket was awhile ago, they gave me the bike back because the cops didn't legally write the ticket correctly. They left out the part of how much the fine was so I was able to contest it, get off and get my bike back. I don't think they know what the official penalty is. It was really...

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    When I got my bike taken away this year, the cop said, "If it has a motor, we're taking it no matter what." I tried to explain pedal assist bikes and read the law out loud but they didn't care. They said they want to see a license for it but you can't get an ebike license so they took my bike.

    CCS with Jones H-bar... Awesomeness

    Hi John, I see you have some duck tape on the battery. Have you also had mounting problems or battery rattles? That is one concern I have before committing to getting this bike. Seems like some people have had issues. For me I'll be needing to take the battery on and off the bike everyday for...

    Juiced Crosscurrent S vs Magnum metro plus (28 mph hub driven commuters).

    Thanks so much Andy, that is really helpful. I'm in no hurry for the bike and one important point the CCS has is the upgradable battery. I plan on riding in NYC winters where the battery will probably lose 40% power in the cold so upgrading to the midsize would be worth it. Also, like yourself...

    Juiced Crosscurrent S vs Magnum metro plus (28 mph hub driven commuters).

    Hi Mark, Thanks for starting this thread as I am in the same boat in terms of making a next decision for an ebike. I've narrowed it down to these 2 bikes as as well. From what I've learned about Juiced is that almost half of the old Crosscurrents came back to the bike shops for repairs. They...

    I hate wearing a helmet on ebikes and I found articles online saying helmets do more harm?

    I know a relative that have died falling off bicycles and hitting their head on a rock without using a helmet. Use your common sense. Thanks.

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    Yes, I'm back to my regularly scheduled commute. I hope the laws get fixed soon before another Zero Vision publicity stunt occurs. Such a waste of everybody's time to be punishing ebikers when there is no sufficient data to outlaw ebikes.

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    I fought the ticket and it got dismissed based on a faulty ticket written with no max penalty for the summons. I would suggest anyone try to fight the ticket in case you can get off on a technicality. It took a while at the courthouse and getting the bike back was big hassle but worth it...

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    The bike is both pedal assist and throttle. But the pedal assist is always on. You can't turn it off. Not sure if that falls into the category that would exempt the ticket. But I wonder if I should plead not guilty and try to challenge it based on my bike being pedal assist all the time.

    NYC Electric Bike Law

    I got my ebike confiscated when they set up traps on First Ave. If anyone knows of a way out of the fine please let me know. I have to go to court in June. I'm not sure if it's worth it to pay the fine for the bike if it's 1k for your first offense. By the way, when they took the bike they...

    Hello, From A2B!

    Hi Ann, I am in the U.S. Area around nyc. Got my kuo+ through an online dealer at Amazon called appliancewarehouse. At full charge I only get about 18 mph with pedal assist. As the battery meter goes down it slows down to about 15. I wonder if I have a slower version of the bike. Is there a way...

    Hello, From A2B!

    Hi A2B community, Does anyone know of a way to make my Kuo+ reach higher speeds? Do I need a new motor or controller?
