March Update EV Show & CCS Shipment

Exciting news for all of the customers who have pre-ordered CrossCurrent S, the container of bikes and parts has been loaded, and is on it's way to us!  ETA in Vancouver is the second week of April.  Most likely we will be shipping the week of the 23rd.

Loading bikes

We also managed to score a large order of spare parts, including a set of CrossCurrent S controllers, displays, and wiring that will enable owners of 2016-2017 CrossCurrent to upgrade to the CrossCurrent S spec,  

We even have CCS fenders and racks so you can totally update your CC.  Note that you will need to have one of the larger capacity batteries to take advantage of the extra power from the new controller. 12.8, 17.4 and 21 ah batteries are all OK with the higher discharge rate.

Spare and upgrade parts!

We have a sample of the new RipCurrent S fat bike coming with this shipment!  Here is a review by Court Rye of Electric Bike Review

If you would like to try out this bike it will be available, along with the CrossCurrent S and the OceanCurrent at the RevolutionSS Expo event, June 22-24 on Salt Spring Island.

The weekend event is at the Farmers Institute on Salt Spring Island, and is Family Friendly. Our sub-theme is “Good Ideas for the Planet” and we have lots of them.
