The XT 60 connector is a common electrical connector used on RC cars, drones, and airplanes. The 60 means it is rated for 60 amps. Thaks for the video. I just bought a new Wired Freedom Ebike and I think it uses the same electrical connector that you just changed. Supposedly the Wired Freedom and the battery are UL certified, we will see how it works out. The first time I saw that connector system used on my new bike I wondered about it's durability. I did notice that it fits very tight and hopefully it is making a good connection.
Great video. Had the same problem twice. First time under warranty, they replaced my Hyperscorpion. Second time now. No warranty. No reply after a week. Follow your video and was able to fix it. But accidentally took out the Phillips screw holding the locking mechanism and frack it up. So folks be aware of that lonely screw holding the key mechanism. Kind regards to all.
lol nice video. i think the yellow duct tape was there to protect against vibration rubbing into the wiring and causing shorts. As someone who designs these types of bikes i can tell you that these faults are only half juiced bikes fault, juiced merely adds another companies designed battery systems to their frames. juiced has nothing to do with the battery or battery cable designs. All of these bikes should be xt connectors anyways, there is too much vibration to cause the connections to loosen up and begin shorting.
iPhone are made in China, and to say, Quality is only 1/2 Apples fault is wrong. If Juiced cared, or wanted to pay more for a better built battery, they could. And introducing the phrase "Quality Control" into the Chinese Language could also be accomplished
Just wanted to make you aware to keep an eye on your connection from the controller to the motor. When I disconnected my rear wheel to swap the tires, upon inspection, I found the same burn marks inside the plug coming from controller to motor. Juiced responded today that "it is likely a result of using throttle in race mode". Soooo if you ride the bike within its parameters (modes) it will fail. Gotta love the quality. (Sarcasm)
Typical 🐂💩 reply from JB. The connection this Mod repairs is the only connection from the battery. Battery to Controller. I remember asking, complaining about the noise from the so called front suspension. JB replied, something like, " the noise is likely a result of not riding on a smooth surface" 🤦♂️ Thanks for watchin and the comment.
Thanks for this, I have a Radrover and my connector burned out on the battery so it’s sitting in my closet, now I can fix it and have dual battery power on the bike.
I built my own ebike it has a top speed of 55mph and have never had any problems so glad I did it my self and did not purchase a pre made bike way cheaper and faster
Wow dude this is nuts, I bought a Hyperscorpion 2 years ago and 3 months ago it just started falling apart. Plastic parts shattering, bolts falling out, jammed shocks... I was thinking about spending the money to replace the parts figuring its just heavy wear and tear but damn seeing the innards convinced me it's probably better to sell it and move on
I tried changing out my controller on my scorpion but could not disconnect 2 of the wires. No matter how hard I pulled they would not disconnect. Any suggestions?
@@scottk84 ohh, I have a scrambler didn't occur to me that you fuses might not be easily accessible on the bottom of the pack. My guess is still on. Bottom but under the cap. So, before you open the top check bottom for two fuses then remove those to disable hot wiring on the top. There must be internal fuses or they would risk Thermal runaway if shorted.
They get it right sometimes is not good quality control but glad yo got a good one(me-2 batteries in 3 1/2 years, both the battery connections). That's a boat load of miles, OMG!
I'm not mail ordering an eBike that I haven't touched & rode first. I was in the hyper scorpion Kick Starter so I bought into Togas TH-cam Videos What are your friends or neighbors riding? What are your local bike shops selling. Only get one with an adjustable and changeable seat, as in the bicycle part of ebike.
Second day out and the bike died on a step hill here in San Francisco. Got the Code 30 error code, had to get a tow home. Sounds like I cooked the XT60 mod. Appreciate your talents, Mark
First it's not the bicycle components, 2nd It may extend beyond your expertise, but everything is replaceable, but not serviceable. Meaning everything plugs into the controller.
It should, certainly worked for me, and may even provide better power. Many people have done this to bipin based bikes and not seen one cry afterwards. Ariel Riders and several other brand use this terrible audio connector and unless the frame and assembly is super stabil this will always occur. If your shopping for a new bike put this on your considerations list.
@@JasonStPierre yeah I kind of stay away from those type of connections when looking at ebikes just because of the whole Juiced situations/complications. I always figured it was because of that connector and my friend has a rip current and I've been trying to tell him this is the reason but I never actually had evidence it was just a theory and I don't own a juiced bike and I'm not sure if his connections burnt but he had the same issues as faster. Far as the pedal assist and throttle. I told him maybe it's the battery connection he was like "well if it was the battery connection the whole bike would not work" I told him I don't know man maybe you should switch it out to a Xt60 connector or get aftermarket battery with Xt60 connection
Awesome video man! i have a 2018 RipCurrent S and I love the ride. So far, no major issues but the battery is scaring me. I have the 52v 19ah and they are damn expensive to replace at 1200.00. Taking out the battery off the bike is nightmare so i avoid taking it off. My battery connecter with 3 pin XLR broke so i had to replace that. Otherwise, it cost 79.00 and the they have an upgraded one with the price of 130.00. I keep the bike clean and store it inside the house, not garage to keep it warm and away from the elements.Anyways, Thanks for the video.
All that force of the battery vibrating and shaking in its cradle cradle had a lot to do with this connector failing, I think. Lashing the battery securely in place helps. This is one reas on why an xt60 mod is more reliable here's, as the xt60 connection will be mechanically isolated from the movement of the battery in its cradle
Weird, we have 3 Juiced bikes, all with over 2,500 miles. Have not seen this happen on any of them. Flat tires yes, burnt battery connections no. I'll be sure to keep an eye on them. Good repair vid.
@It's not looking good I sent this vid to some friends that also own Juiced bikes. None of them have this problem either. One of them has over 5,000 miles on his. One did report a cracked frame that Juiced covered under warranty.
Your going to have the same problem with xt-60 connectors. Use xt90s anti spark connectors and you won't have any spark or burnt connectors to ever deal with again.
How do you figure, The problem isn't the XT 60's? Its The Juiced POS design on the battery tray. Its been over a year and over 2000 miles and they look new. NO ONE has had a problem with the XT 60's

@@totoroben yeah, I don't think mine melted very good either. I did get a pretty good mesh with each end as I push them together into the shrink connectors, but def not a totally solid union. Been ok so far though and no random cutting off like before
super 73? Ariel rider? The new sondors look interesting. There is too much difference in all bikes and all individual needs. Are you riding streets or paths? Prefer to pedal or throttle? Where will you keep it? Do you have to deal with stairs or elevators. recreational or commuting or big city delivery. Can/will you do all work on it or pay a shop to fix a flat? Mods?
@@UncleFjester Thank you for the response. I'm actually in the market for a long range ebike that will somewhat replace a car and does not require a license and does not have that pseudo motorcycle look. I'd like to avoid the hassle of explaining to cops (read:tyrants) that it's a class 2 ebike. So that means throttle only riding with ranges of upwards of 25 miles. I was initially drawn to the ccx because of it's battery capacity and the frame geometry. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for me. Thanks much. Edit, I got almost zero time for DIY work and mods. I have about 2500 to spend on a bike I can readily use.
Your best bet, IMHO, is to get a regular looking ebike, no headlight, regular interchangeable bike seat, then add a rack and Aux battery for the range you want. Cops are cool! they won't harass your bike as long as you don't do something stupid. But if you have active warrants, DUI's out, I'd spend that $2500 on a good lawyer 1st.
@@UncleFjester bahahahaha that's funny. Nope, no warrants here lol. Yeah, Cops are cool in general but where I'm at cops do trip on Ebike riders for some reason. Thanks for the input they're much appreciated.
the "Juiced Bike Fire Maker" If your still under warranty Toga will send you a new kit, but there is nothing differeent and it will burn again. Best to do the XT60 Mod and move on to another problem.
Any ebike you buy that I have ever seen will have these connector problems. Connectors under heavy load (battery connectors) only last about 5000-7000 miles of use. It's expected. I've put xt60s and 90s in every bike I've owned, after the stock connectors fried. Even xt60s and 90s have a limited lifespan though. Consumers do not want to buy a bike that has protruding wires in which they have to manually plug an xt 90 to connect their battery, even if that is actually better. They want "seamless design". This is just the world we live in. Heavy users understand that an xt90 is superior... and even those will not last beyond a couple years of heavy use. Replacing battery connectors on an ebike is an annual/biannual expected thing, kind of like new tires.
Either replace with stock, or Frankenstein the bike with xt90s..either way has its merits. Aliexpress/ebay will get your all these ebike consumables for cheap.
If juiced biked put half as much time into manufacturing quality control and good engineering as they do into advertising they would have a decent product. I have a crosscurrent S2 that has some minor problems but nothing that could not have been caught during assembly in China.

I plan to do this mod but it won't stop me from getting a RCS this year. At this price-point Juiced bikes are just too damn good (except for the battery connectors of course). What clinched it for me is the buttery smooth torque sensor, humongous 52v battery, bulletproof packaging and customer support. Did I mention that Juiced bikes are just too damn good?
Uncle Fjester, could you have just connected the XT60 battery connection to the XT60 controller connection instead of connecting to the locking mechanism XT60 connection? Keep Juicein’ My Friend! JB~ ✝ 🙏 🇺🇸 😎 ⛵🛶🚲 🇺🇸
Jay, I can't remember, its not making sense either. With this mod, the lock(key) just keeps the battery secure, then you have the one xt60 connector to deal with. Sorry I can't be of more help.
CCS with 5700 miles and the 21 AH battery. I'm doing the mod this weekend. Got every thing apart. I notice on the video when you cut the wires in the battery to the battery connector, each pin actually has two wires going to it, a thick one and a thinner one. You don't mention anything about theses and cutting them and hooking them up.
the thin wires were going to a tiny xt30 connector and wasn't hooked to anything, maybe used for testing? Fjust put everything back the way its removed and you'll be good
UF I wished you had posted this in February!. I had a bad connection on my Juiced CCX battery within a month of getting the bike. I reported this in March to Juiced and they didnt send me a new battery until MID AUGUST! They claimed they couldnt get a box from Fex Ex to ship batteries. Meanwhile they were sending you guys new bikes. The new battery also had issues. the only way I got it to work was by loosening the nut on the bike and letting the connector float into the battery. But I am afraid to take the battery off. They did give me a hundred dollars Juiced store credit for my troubles. If I had seen your post then I would have fixed the whole problem in a half hour!
@@UncleFjester - I’m not so sure about that. My Bafang motor recently started to make a horrible grinding noise. Now I have to investigate further. 🤦🏽♂️
Happen exactly the same thing happened to you when one time I try to open to lock pin and then this happened, after few months I had my battery not connecting properly and start to smell, I keep it like this till I didn’t burn my battery
I purchased this bike 1yr ago and I would not recommend it. After 14 months it broke due to electric component failure. Im an avonics specalist with a major airline and so have training and experiance working with electrical components and systems. This is build with cheap parts in China. Specifically the battery terminals and connections are unsafe and will burn which is a mjor safety concern. Mine bike failed and Juiced bikes was even aware of the manufacturing flaw but took no steps to fix it. Please see other youtube videos documenting this dangerous issue.
YES!!! I AGREE 100% But what should we of expected, when a US athlete that speaks fluent Chinese, moves to China in order to source the cheapest prices on the cheapest components?
WHAT IN THE FjUCK IS GOING ON HERE? YELLOW DUCT TAPE? 🤯🤬🤬😤 WHERE'S THE DAMN HEAT SHRINK??? I feel you brother. I'm FjUCKING working on a video right now exposing the company I got my last ebike from. Ruster bike including the seat stem and seat post. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
I have the same thing after 3 months and they tell me that it's not under warranty due to high mileage! 😡 I loved my juiced bike(s) but will not deal with a company that has NO SERVICE.
The XT-60 connectors are in the description, you can still remove the battery but it will have a plug. If you replace the burned connector with the same, Juiced sells them, it will fail again, so don't do that.
You gotta Be fjukin kiddin me? They said you voided warranty with too many miles and now they are afraid of liability? They fjukin sell a bike that goes 30Mph on shit tires with shit brakes!

And you know, people will ask for a link to the "Solderseal Connectors" 👍🏻
@@UncleFjester good call. Here we go. www.amazon.com/Solder-Connectors-Shrink-Waterproof-Electrical/dp/B08D9DGPPT
I couldn't melt the solder. Crimp connectors are better for heavy guage wire I think.
@@totoroben yeah, I don't think mine melted very good either. I did get a pretty good mesh with each end as I push them together into the shrink connectors, but def not a totally solid union. Been ok so far though and no random cutting off like before
How do u remove the Crome thing
How many miles did it take for the burn?
1500ish? I can't remember. I checked it frequently, one time it was fine, the next it was fjuked.
Can you recommend a good alternative ebike?
super 73? Ariel rider? The new sondors look interesting. There is too much difference in all bikes and all individual needs. Are you riding streets or paths? Prefer to pedal or throttle? Where will you keep it? Do you have to deal with stairs or elevators. recreational or commuting or big city delivery. Can/will you do all work on it or pay a shop to fix a flat? Mods?
@@UncleFjester Thank you for the response. I'm actually in the market for a long range ebike that will somewhat replace a car and does not require a license and does not have that pseudo motorcycle look. I'd like to avoid the hassle of explaining to cops (read:tyrants) that it's a class 2 ebike. So that means throttle only riding with ranges of upwards of 25 miles. I was initially drawn to the ccx because of it's battery capacity and the frame geometry. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for me. Thanks much.
Edit, I got almost zero time for DIY work and mods. I have about 2500 to spend on a bike I can readily use.
Your best bet, IMHO, is to get a regular looking ebike, no headlight, regular interchangeable bike seat, then add a rack and Aux battery for the range you want.
Cops are cool! they won't harass your bike as long as you don't do something stupid. But if you have active warrants, DUI's out, I'd spend that $2500 on a good lawyer 1st.
@@UncleFjester bahahahaha that's funny. Nope, no warrants here lol. Yeah, Cops are cool in general but where I'm at cops do trip on Ebike riders for some reason. Thanks for the input they're much appreciated.
Can you please help me with what to do here I broke my switch now I just have the wires hangin out and can’t turn it on
Bypass the switch? Only thing is the switch will always be on, but you have the ignition key to use
What is the name of the original connector?
the "Juiced Bike Fire Maker"
If your still under warranty Toga will send you a new kit, but there is nothing differeent and it will burn again. Best to do the XT60 Mod and move on to another problem.
Any ebike you buy that I have ever seen will have these connector problems. Connectors under heavy load (battery connectors) only last about 5000-7000 miles of use. It's expected.
I've put xt60s and 90s in every bike I've owned, after the stock connectors fried.
Even xt60s and 90s have a limited lifespan though.
Consumers do not want to buy a bike that has protruding wires in which they have to manually plug an xt 90 to connect their battery, even if that is actually better. They want "seamless design".
This is just the world we live in.
Heavy users understand that an xt90 is superior... and even those will not last beyond a couple years of heavy use. Replacing battery connectors on an ebike is an annual/biannual expected thing, kind of like new tires.
Either replace with stock, or Frankenstein the bike with xt90s..either way has its merits.
Aliexpress/ebay will get your all these ebike consumables for cheap.
If juiced biked put half as much time into manufacturing quality control and good engineering as they do into advertising they would have a decent product. I have a crosscurrent S2 that has some minor problems but nothing that could not have been caught during assembly in China.
Toga Harris is African/Chinese not African American and hasn't been in the USA since the start of C-19. ChineUh culture is, well known to deceive and lie to America. Since ChinUh can't sell bootleg DVD's to unreleased American Movies today, they move to cheap products for Americans.
Fjuck China and Putin too
I'm Considering the new rip current S step throug! I wonder if is going to have this problem.
You can count on it, for sure!
I plan to do this mod but it won't stop me from getting a RCS this year. At this price-point Juiced bikes are just too damn good (except for the battery connectors of course). What clinched it for me is the buttery smooth torque sensor, humongous 52v battery, bulletproof packaging and customer support. Did I mention that Juiced bikes are just too damn good?
Uncle Fjester, could you have just connected the XT60 battery connection to the XT60 controller connection instead of connecting to the locking mechanism XT60 connection?
Keep Juicein’ My Friend!
JB~ ✝ 🙏 🇺🇸 😎 ⛵🛶🚲 🇺🇸
Jay, I can't remember, its not making sense either. With this mod, the lock(key) just keeps the battery secure, then you have the one xt60 connector to deal with. Sorry I can't be of more help.
CCS with 5700 miles and the 21 AH battery. I'm doing the mod this weekend. Got every thing apart. I notice on the video when you cut the wires in the battery to the battery connector, each pin actually has two wires going to it, a thick one and a thinner one. You don't mention anything about theses and cutting them and hooking them up.
the thin wires were going to a tiny xt30 connector and wasn't hooked to anything, maybe used for testing? Fjust put everything back the way its removed and you'll be good
@@UncleFjester just finished this mod. Used pigtail connectors. No soldering. Works great now. Thanks.
UF I wished you had posted this in February!. I had a bad connection on my Juiced CCX battery within a month of getting
the bike. I reported this in March to Juiced and they didnt send me a new battery until MID AUGUST! They claimed they couldnt get a box from Fex Ex to ship batteries. Meanwhile they were sending you guys new bikes. The new battery also had issues. the only way I got it to work was by loosening the nut on the bike and letting the connector float into the battery. But I am afraid to take the battery off.
They did give me a hundred dollars Juiced store credit for my troubles.
If I had seen your post then I would have fixed the whole problem in a half hour!
JB has been in business for 10 years! Everything they say and do is full of SHIT 🐂💩
Totally agree!! Juiced Bikes are terribly made!!
One positive thing...The Bafang Motor is OK
@@UncleFjester - I’m not so sure about that. My Bafang motor recently started to make a horrible grinding noise.
Now I have to investigate further. 🤦🏽♂️
Uh Oh...🤦♂️
Happen exactly the same thing happened to you when one time I try to open to lock pin and then this happened, after few months I had my battery not connecting properly and start to smell, I keep it like this till I didn’t burn my battery
The XT 60 Mod fixes the problem for good!
what is th Gauge size wire did you use please?
#12
I purchased this bike 1yr ago and I would not recommend it. After 14 months it broke due to electric component failure. Im an avonics specalist with a major airline and so have training and experiance working with electrical components and systems. This is build with cheap parts in China. Specifically the battery terminals and connections are unsafe and will burn which is a mjor safety concern. Mine bike failed and Juiced bikes was even aware of the manufacturing flaw but took no steps to fix it. Please see other youtube videos documenting this dangerous issue.
YES!!! I AGREE 100%
But what should we of expected, when a US athlete that speaks fluent Chinese, moves to China in order to source the cheapest prices on the cheapest components?
WHAT IN THE FjUCK IS GOING ON HERE? YELLOW DUCT TAPE? 🤯🤬🤬😤 WHERE'S THE DAMN HEAT SHRINK???
I feel you brother. I'm FjUCKING working on a video right now exposing the company I got my last ebike from. Ruster bike including the seat stem and seat post. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
I have the same thing after 3 months and they tell me that it's not under warranty due to high mileage! 😡 I loved my juiced bike(s) but will not deal with a company that has NO SERVICE.
high mileage? 🐂💩 how many miles? this is an easy repair once you have all the parts
@@UncleFjester 1,700 miles on two batteries. I'm trying to figure out where to get the new connector.
The XT-60 connectors are in the description, you can still remove the battery but it will have a plug. If you replace the burned connector with the same, Juiced sells them, it will fail again, so don't do that.
@@UncleFjester Juiced told me they don't sell the replacement battery connectors due to liability reasons.
You gotta Be fjukin kiddin me? They said you voided warranty with too many miles and now they are afraid of liability? They fjukin sell a bike that goes 30Mph on shit tires with shit brakes! They had sent me a replacement that I sold on ebay, here is another on ebay. But do the XT 60 Mod!

You won’t believe this guy until you buy a juiced bike… this brand sucks. I got the hyperscrambler 2. I’m going to have to do this mod. Thanks for the video
This has been the same documented problem for 4 years now and Toga Harris refuses to change the design.
Cross current X for four years not one problem!
My juiced bike is 3 years old same battery I put it together runs great no issues sounds like you might have bought a fake
*Did you see the videos Toga Harris did, testing the packaging by throwing the boxes around? I'm sure that was my bike!*
I wanna see what it looks like with the new air fork!!
I don't own a juiced, but came here lmao
I did the mod. I love my crosscurrent.
JUICED BIKES OUT OF BUSINESS UNCLE FJESTER!!!

How long did u have to use your heat gun for the butt splice to grab each other
My Butt splice was a crimp connector
We need to start some type of class action law suit i do not want to have to l go through all these issues. Or Juice should somehow compensate owners for these miserable bikes
I'm looking into it, Also Small claims court, we don't have to be in San Diego, since it can all be done online & virtually for the next 6 months or so.
You know what's sad? Been through three different ebike companies. Juiced is still better than rad
Damm! That is pretty shity, those bikes are expensive too. I think the way that be is to get an inexpensive bike, that has a nice frame Then make it into something special.
Fucked...! 🤣 keeping it real..
Good Lord, UF are going to be visiting Austin anytime soon? I'll pay you 250/ hour and I bet by now you can do it in 15 mins.$62.50 plus parts - done. I'll throw in a chicken fried steak at the Broken Spoke and all the beer you can handle. Deal? Onward
Threadgills on Lamar? Chile ConQueso appetizer, and its a deal!
@@UncleFjester OK now I've got it now I have been responding to your comments through outlook! Sorry to report both Threadgill's are closed. The good news is the Yellow Rose is right next door to old No. 1. I'm pretty sure the "entertainment" is good (not sure about covid protocols) as far as the food.... questionable. But after 8-10 beers who cares? Onward P.S you can still buy T shirts - nice Armadillo World HQ choices and watch some old movies on Thread's website.
❤️👊🍻
💩 bike but the video help lot's
Thanks 👍🏼😊
Hey man
Hey ms. fjester
No problems with my RadRover
Nice beard
You got to be kidding me does this ever end
YELLOW DUCT TAPE @ 2:55
What kind of manufacturing line has Duct tape on it?
Death traps
What a garbage design.
Thank you. I know not to purchase this brand now!
