I ran the stock Kendas for a 18 months before the tread wore thin and I was getting regular puncture flats. I ordered Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x45 after having read lots of good things about them here and elsewhere. When they arrived I could not get them to mount on rims without burping off...

This all sounds reasonable. I inflate my tires to 60 lbs and have hit potholes at speed that likely contributed to spoke breakage. The rear hub/wheel is also heavy which increases stress. Many of the spokes snapped near the bend or had the head that fits in hub pop clean off which sounds...

Agreed, the Juiced Cross Current is a good value, other than the rear wheel spoke issue I have no complaints. Some folks might be willing to spend considerably for a more established brand. Maintaining build quality and consistency is no easy task, I think many of the newer ebike companies are...

Pete B, Thanks for that info. I'm considering having rear wheel rebuilt with new spokes and possibly swapping rear rim for tubeless ready version (no more tube repair/replace). Anyone have thoughts /advice on tubeless rear rim for cross current?

I think Haibike has some larger frames also. You're likely going to want a frame with and effective top tube length of 620mm +.

I'm 6'7" and 240lbs and I had to modify parts considerably to fit a cross current XL. I replaced the stem with a 130mm version, swapped seat post for bodyfloat (25mm set back), I have brooks knockoff seat pushed back to the limit of the rails, and I've swapped the original cranks with 200mm...

I've owned a juiced cross current for about a year now with about 2K miles and I agree that the build quality of the rear wheel is terrible. I replace a spoke or two every month and the spokes juiced sells have a different nipple thread size so you can't just simply thread a spoke through the...

I notice drivers coming out of driveways or side streets seem to take notice of the headlight strobe and usually avoid pulling right out in front of me. The same for folks pulling out of parking spot. Before using the strobe I could almost guarantee they would ignore me and pull right out...

I think the battery life indicators are notoriously inaccurate. I'm guessing the led readout is a bit different for every rider/commute. Buy yourself a decent strobe taillight and headlight and use even during daylight. I'm amazed at how much more attention I get from autos with strobe on.

I weigh 230 lbs and have the stock 7.8aH battery. Riding 15 miles in sport mode with plenty of hills and about 20 charge cycles, I'm just now experiencing sluggish motor at mile 14. As others have noted the battery life indicator on downtube still shows 2 leds even when battery is nearly dead.

Juiced Cross Current XL Owner here with 500 miles of commuting. I've had issues with the rear wheel from day one. Test ride at LBS revealed many spokes with bad tension. I've had rear spokes break under normal riding without hitting bumps etc. A few weeks back I had the rear tube blow out at...
