The Logan rear brake on my six month old CCX gradually stopped working. Last week it would work if you pumped the brake handle 2-3 times every time you needed to stop but this week I get nothing. Tried bleeding it but it didn’t make a difference. Juiced offered to send me a replacement but I’d...

I find 52x11 on my new CCX overkill but I thought 52x12 was fine for 28mph cruising on flat ground on my CC. Back in my road cycling days I could spin out 50x11 descending hill at >30mph but I don’t like spinning at a cadence of over 90rpm. I thought about putting a 48T chain ring on my older CC...

My 2016 Cross Current with over 30k miles on it just died. I had upgraded it from the original 13A controller to the 20A CCS controller and added 10sp Deore LX shifting. Couldn’t find a replacement controller so I decided to upgrade to a brand new CCX since I ride every day for exercise. The new...

I have a 48V 17.4aH battery if anyone is interested. I just upgraded from an original Cross Current with a CCS controller to a new Cross Current X. I held up the older 48V battery to the new 52V battery and there’s a pretty significant difference in length so gen 2 batteries wouldn’t work in gen...

I have the 350W Bafang in my Cross Current but it’s the same for the CCX. You want to be sure to order the SWX02 version. Here is where I got mine on eBay. You’ll also need a Torx screwdriver set. Be very careful not to strip the screws when taking off the cover...

I think it came loose while removing the axle in the video. Mine didn’t come loose but if it does you just tap it back into place like they show in the video.

What do you mean by keeper? I followed the directions in the video and was able to replace mine quite easily. The only difference is 1) you don’t have to remove the cassette and 2) there’s no nut on the disc side of the motor to loosen/remove so you can omit those steps.

My Cross Current is approaching 5 years old and 22k+ miles. If you can’t work on your own bike and source spare parts I would not recommend buying online only e-bike. Better to buy through a dealer (+ pay that premium) and let them handle the repairs for you.

Finally got around to replacing the slipping reduction gear / motor clutch on my original Cross Current. Pretty easy if you follow the instructions in this video. The only difference is that there is no axle nut on the disc brake side of the motor. Motor type is the SWX02. The old nylon gears...

Yes, that is what I like about torque based PAS since you can spend most of your time just pedaling like a normal bike without having to think about it. But sometimes I just need a little more power so I’ll move the throttle to the 30-50% position and it gives me a short boost. I also use the...

I thought the new bikes had a zero assist mode. That would theoretically allow you to turn off PAS and control the motor power with the thumb throttle but I’ve never used it myself so I’m not sure if it works that way. What I was referring to was a scenario where the controller is giving you max...

I think he means using the throttle like a rheostat (and not like an on-off switch) to add just enough power to give you the desired amount of motor assist. Sometimes I do that on my Cross Current if I’m going up a short hill rather than bumping up the assist and then having to bump it right...

Is that a limitation of the bottom bracket torque sensors? My Juiced Bikes Cross Current has the TMM4 clone which does torque and cadence. You can turn the torque sensor off in the settings and just run it on cadence sensing only if you want to. I watched a YouTube video of the LMT’d with a...

No torque sensor would be a deal breaker for me. Coming from a road bike background I prefer the feel of a well tuned torque sensor. Makes the bike ride more like a normal bike and less like an on/off switch controlled by rotating the pedals.

I’ve ridden the Specialized Turbo Como with the Brose motor and they are quite snappy. The upright position with the big tires is really comfortable to ride. A little low on power though (~550W peak) which can feel underwhelming when you’re used to having 900-1000W. The jury still seems to be...

Looks interesting. I would love to fit 2.4” Moto X’s on my Cross Current. I’m not sure how well those bottom bracket torque sensors work though. Seems like an older technology to be using at at this point. They use a non-proprietary battery which is good for future serviceability. I would...

Ok, so it costs less but offers less in terms of features (smaller battery, mechanical discs, 20mph, no brake cutoff switches, lower end shifter/derailleur etc). That’s fine but doesn’t really prove that there are better value e-bikes out there. Just that there are less expensive ones. AFAIK...

Which model competes with the Cross Current S2 and offers more features for less money? The only BTN‘s I see at that price point are you’re run-of-the-mill hub motor e-bike with cadence sensing only.

There have always been bikes that are cheaper than Juiced that lack a torque sensor. However, with my road bike background, I’ve never had the desire to buy a cadence sensing-only bike. I’m on my original 2016 Cross Current and should close out 2021 with 25k miles on it. I’ve had some issues but...

I’ve been having an issue with the display LED lights flashing and then power shutting off on my original 2016 Cross Current. The troubleshooting says it’s a connection issue but I checked all of them and even swapped out the 4-in-1 harness. What ended up fixing it was a new display. I had a...
