hi,
Big, tall, and ebike (and biking in general) novice here. I have been looking for an ebike for awhile to commute to work. I am trying to become more healthy/fit, beat the soul sucking traffic, and need some assistance doing so. I have made the commute a few times on a mountain bike previously, but want something that I can do regularly and with a little more speed.
I have been checking out bikes such as Stromer and a few Bosch powered bikes when I came across the CrossCurrent S. I see they are launching a larger frame (XXL out in September!) and an apparent frame weight limit of 350 lbs! Sounds like a unicorn, something that might actually fit me!
I will in fact need the XXL frame (above 6'4") and will be close to the maximum weight limit on the frame once I add my commuting and work gear.
My questions are:
Will I have any problem with the amount of weight on the tires? Should I upgrade the tires to something else?
Are there any other big riders that have used any Juiced bikes? What are your experiences with the bike?
Since I am bigger, should I upgrade the battery to allow for more power?
Anything else I need to know about the bike or the company would be beneficial.
