Lost the key for my Juiced Ebike

[wings02]

Hi,
I just discovered i lost the key to my Juiced Crosscurrent bike. I cannot remove the battery unless I have the key. i do have another set of keys from my wife's Crosscurrent ebike but they don't work. I hear that Juiced closed up so I cannot order a set a keys. Is there a way I can convert one of the keys to my wife's bike to be a master key? If not, does anyone have any solutions? Thank you!

I'm afraid I can't offer any first hand advice but others who have lost keys reported some success by taking the bike to a locksmith. It may be possible for him to make a key. At the very least, he should be able to pick the lock so you can remove the battery. Once off, it may be possible to swap the lock assembly.

Drill it out. Then replace the barrel. You should be able to find a replacement on Aliexpress / ebay etc for less than $10.

I know it's not the solution you wanted but knowing your situation and the few unfavorable options available, I would just chalk it up and leave battery installed. Yes, it will a little heavier lifting onto your rack. But it works. Battery can still be charged. You can ride it.

Several years ago, I was in the same boat. Battery locked on bike, but keys missing, I bought a lock pick set off ebay and tried to learn lock picking, I got pretty good with the transparent practice lock included with the kit, but the ebike keys turned up,

Nonetheless, I fiddled with the battery picking with another battery I had that was not on a bike. I actually got that one to unlock, but never repeated the feat,

So I'm sure a cooperative locksmith can take the battery off, if you bring the bike to his shop., Then you could have him make new keys, or you can buy a new lock with keys for about $16 on ebay and open the battery to install it, What do locksmiths charge? I don't know, I paid $100 30 years ago to have a guy come out to my car and make me a new key on the spot, Probably 2X or more today,

I've not tried to drill out an bike battery key. You want to be careful not to drill thru the lock and maybe hit something electrical on the other side, Then there's the issue of getting metal fragments inside the battery,

I know someone discovered a blank Honda motorcycle key opened a certain brands ebike battery. I tried it on said ebike brand (I had Honda key blanks from my wife's old Honda Silverwing that I never got copied) and guess what, it worked! I despise loosing keys and know how you feel.
