Hello all, sorry in advance, I posted in the general section of the forum and was informed of this section, I tried to delete to post to no avail.

I am the definition of a casual rider, maybe 2 rides per week in and around my neighborhood to the store total distance 4 to 6 miles then MAYBE a 15-mile ride once a month, my area is flat, I am about 6ft 200lbs

I have not been on a bike for years so just looking for something to tool around on.

The Juiced Crosscurrent Air sounds like a good option (Great design, engineering, etc..) but they seem to have to same business model as an online seller, no dealers in my area sells them, you have to by off AMAZON and its impossible to get them on the phone, emails are spotty etc.. they bike (Like all eBikes are made in China) Their parts supply chain seems to be an issue. (Dealers and end users have commented that they can't get parts and communication is inconsistent or in some cases lacking.

They do not have regular hours in their shop so it seems it more of a wholesaler and not a direct to customer model.

I start to wonder if I am going to go online and deal with a company who isn't really set up to support customers in a direct sales model why not just go the Acheer route and by a $600 ebike and be done with it, I could by 2 at that price.


I have been told buy from an out of state dealer ie crazy Lenny, that does not seem to be much different from buying online just more expensive shipping.

The only other comparable option I have seen is the Magnum Mi5 but it does not seem to be the same Value prop as the CrossCurrent --
