Ha ha. Love that horn above!
The one I have is much smaller than it is loud. Three tone choices, of which the police whistle imitation is the only truly loud sound.
So, I disabled the tone selector button with superglue. It remains always a police whistle now.
In moderate traffic the cars certainly do hear it and react.
The opening post was made a couple hours ago, just before the first ride.
Now, having just ridden the bike I can say, ahhhhhh. It is just about perfect today in every way I care for: easy to pedal, soft riding, quick to go from assist to manual, etc. The natural reach for the vital controls is about perfect. This bike never drops its chain anymore (and I will wager, neither does a RCS, with those chainguards flanking each side of the chainring).
Thank you Juiced Bikes for getting me up and running again. I pay my way with referrals to your firm.
There is never a comment from the public other than this one, first,
"What a beautiful bike."
I crest a small bridge just after dawn. A woman happens to be gazing at the Gables Waterway, "Good morning," I chirp as she looks at and responds with...
"What a beautiful bike."
The bike is beautiful because its form follows function. And Tora does not make functional but ugly bikes.
I tell everyone who approaches me with a bike compliment to go online and look at the value of a Juiced Bike.
And if they get one I will help with the very simple maintenance gratis.
There is so much personal pleasure and public-good done in putting an ebike in these early days before the public, showing how much more fun and healthy it is to shop (for instance) using a bike instead of a car. "I'd need two trips." Well, have two fun and health providing runs in short order, I say!
Am a sort of broken record, I guess, : ). But, hey, a bike made to serve
your exact likes is truly a superbike.
My CCS is now perfected by the switch repositionings for my very specific wants and needs, and even more importantly to myself, it has the easiest to pedal tires in the world. It is like an Olympic specialty contender, my Juiced Bike.
Yet your Juiced bike and my Juiced bike can always be further retouched, further customized. It's the American way to customize any conveyance of importance to the individual.
Machines must always serve the user foremost, right?
But, damn, this a fine bike, right out of the box, Tora.
It owes no bows to any other brand or any other person in the world except you.
FIRST PLACE
edit: Admitted fanboy here is happy, too, because the CCS is a bike he had to wait about ten years to buy because it did not exist before. And it still doesn't exist in other brand-price-availability options. I wonder how long that will remain true? Look at all the near misses above. Still, First Place at the finish.
