Dear Valued Juiced Bikes Friends,

We hope this finds you well.

We know everyone is eagerly waiting for their shiny new bike so we wanted to share the most current information regarding the "S".

All pre-ordered bikes are boxed and shipping to our warehouse here in the US now.

We decided to UPGRADE these bikes to the new Sapim spokes which took an additional few days. We felt it was the right choice to give our patient customer the best we had to offer - see below for more detail on the spoke upgrade.

Containers are likely to hit our dock right around the Thanksgiving holiday which may add a few days to the process.

We're targeting shipments to customers starting late November on a first in first out manner.

Thank you for your patience! We know it will be worth the wait.

Best Regards,
Your Juiced Bikes Team

Spoke Upgrade

As you know, our goal is to create great products at great prices and we source our components in such a way that you'll get the ride you want at a price that makes sense for your pocket book.

We don't take any of the components for granted, not even spokes.

Having high performance bikes is great but some riders carry heavier payloads than others and ride on extremely bumpy terrain. This puts a heavy load on the spokes.

High inflation pressure, heavy payloads, rough terrain, high performance hub motor, non-optimal lacing pattern, 12G spoke head not sitting totally flat on the hub flange all combine to create potential spoke failure.

We consulted with wheel experts and upgraded to 13G very high quality spokes from a Belgian company called Sapim. They are known for their race spokes and high quality materials etc.

Our rims will now handle both 12G and 13G spokes so if you ever do break one, you can get them anywhere, the spoke is not a special size. AND we include 2 extra spokes with each bike - so if you break one, you won't need to wait to get it fixed.

We'll be making detailed videos to show how easy it is to tighten up and replace a spoke if necessary, no need to even take the wheel off.

That's pretty cool. I haven't had any issues with my first run CCS (spokes). Hopefully I won't..but I wonder if the rim is different as well. Its only fair... as I got upgraded brakes... and the next batch will get upgraded spokes....

I am looking forward to mid December--by which time a preorder CCS in red and black should be here--my first ebike in many years.

I have several near neighbors in this affluent neighborhood who will see the bike and I just bet they will become converts when they test ride the CrossCurrent S.

Part of the pleasure of an ebike is sharing the fun.
