Nearly 5 years old Juiced CCX always running in highest assist to maintain 28mph as much as possible doing 32mi rt every workday year round thru 4 midwest seasons. Should I be concerned about frame/parts fatigue with this many miles?

How does it feel? If the motors and battery still perform and the frame still is structurally intact, I see little reason to fully replace the bike. Lots of parts can be continually replaced.
If you’ve got an itch to get a new bike I also don’t think that’s a bad idea either given the mileage on this one – a second backup bike is often well worth having.
And here I thought 8,000 in 2 years was worth bragging about, goodness
No.
Just upgrade.
Especially if it’s steel. It’s going to last.
Yeah sure! Why not!
That’s awesome. I have 10k miles on my Juiced Ripracer. These ebikes were built like tanks.
It sucks that the company went under, Lectric is just using the juiced brand to sell wheelie kid emotos now.
Inspect the frame and keep it rolling!
I had an original Juiced Cross Current (upgraded to CCS controller and larger battery) that I retired at 24k miles due to no parts being available when the controller failed. I have 16k miles on my CCX. With Juiced Bikes going bankrupt I think the issue is going to be finding parts going forward. I know their assets were bought but so far that hasn’t resulted in spare parts being available on their website..
Damn that is some mileage son….. Nice work
