So Juiced uses the same industry standard for water resistance for electronics that nearly all ebike makers use. Also, I have no idea where he got the idea that Juiced 52VWhat do you mean?
I have a Juiced CrossCurrent Air, and upgraded to CCS display and controller. I ride in the rain all the time and it's fine.
I am asking because I'm interested in upgrading to 52V battery. You said none of the electronics can handle the rain, does that include display? Because it's been fine for me... or maybe I just got lucky?
Juiced uses the same standard for electronic water resistance as the rest of the ebike world, and I haven't seen any reports of water intrusion as an issue with Juiced. I have never had any issues with rain and I commute on my bike so I have been caught riding in wery wet conditions many times.What do you mean?

As for his comment about 52V batteries being unreliable, I have no idea where he got that idea. Again I haven't seen or heard any such problems. I have over 5000 miles on my Juiced 52V pack with zero issues. The only issue I have heard about regarding battery problems with Juiced is a few people that have had problems with the pack not locking into place securely, creating intermittent power loss. This occurs with both the 48V or 52V packs as it is an external problem.
For clarification, several people with new bikes are not getting the packs secured correctly due to user error. I had this problem several times when my bike was new. I would put the pack in place, start riding, and have power loss after hitting a bump. At this time I could pull the pack off without using the key, indicating that the pack was not fully secured in the first place. Hitting it into place solved the problem, and after a few months of use, it became much easier to fully secure the pack in place.
There are a few that actually have had a real problem that was not fixed by repositioning the pack, and have had Juiced send them replacement locking mechanisms.
