"Smorg", your perspective on the subject on SoC and DoD for prolonging the useful capacity of Li-ion batteries is very helpful! Thanks for sharing! One important key understanding from your note: Charging to 100% is not as bad as keeping or storing the battery at 100%!

That's a Brooks B-17 special edition. After about 22,000 miles the rails snapped back in the Fall of 2018. It is now on its second set of rails -with more than 24,000 miles of use. That honey brown leather loves an occasional dose of coconut oil. Here are a couple of images photographed before I...

I received my CCX in December 2018. The bike has been a flawless commuter!

Wow, 3 crashes and it is only October! You may be getting to a point in the aging process to ease up a bit. Not to slow down necessarily, but to save on the costs of damaging bike and body. There is a crapload of danger in slow-speed maneuvering.🏥 🚴‍♂️

Taillight bracket is a sweet design. Great job!

Oh yeah! As far as ebikes go, the CCX is fabulous. If I could I wish for something different, it would be to have a battery as powerful as the one on the CCX put in a lighter more compact pack, but the technology isn't it to that level yet. c

Still rolling along... Here are total stats for the CCX:

I am happy to know you are healing well and back riding! Having never embraced clip-less pedals mostly for because clipless shoes would require a shoe change after commuting to work. What HAS worked well for me are Power Grip pedals. https://mrpbike.com/collections/power-grips I too am...

There is a significant difference in the strain factor on the IGH, comparing the front hub motor -vs- crank motor.

I've been thinking of converting my old Globe. I'm basically ignorant as to how go about getting some of the electrical components I'll need for a conversion. Since my first ebike cracked its frame, I've been planning to utilize it's components for a DIY project. I have a Nexus 8 rear hub along...

Far superior indeed! And in fact it is possible to expend an equal effort per minute whether on an ebike or on a non-ebike.

In consideration of gearing with any bike: Changing gears enables a rider to maintain an optimal cadence when encountering nominal elevation variances. That, along with a combination of cadence and torque assist, allows the ebike rider to maximize efficiency. A combination of cadence and torque...

Having a blast on my ebike! It has been a fast 34 work commutes so far this year. Rides on the CCX ebike have averaged 19.26 mph, making windchill a significant factor. I am wearing a windbreaker even in 60-70 degree temperatures.

The coldest temperature in which I rode the CCX was 31ºF ; At times I encountered some precipitation. I never attempted to ride unless the roadway was clear of ice and snow. The CCX is a fast ride and averaging speeds over 18 mph can be uncomfortable. The biggest factor preventing me from Winter...

It helps to track the bike wear components, and your bike experiences by logging your cycling miles in a blog. I use bikejournal: https://bikejournal.com/home.asp

Winter Commutes were tough going and limited by weather, but since taking delivery 12/01/18, the Juiced CCX has taken me 571 reliable miles down the road.

It's not difficult to grasp the overall concept of battery wear. Even with the most sparing use of a Li-Ion battery, it ultimately will need to be replaced sooner or later! A battery, rechargeable or not, for any device, is meant to be replaced periodically.
