If that had the motor, controller and battery that the hyper scorpion had, they would sell millions. Hyper Scorpion would dust this in a top end race.. Toss on a suspension seat post and reduce air pressure a bit... Would be way fun . So Juiced, do this in a 1,000 watt 20 ah 52V with a 30 ish amp controller. Give it a top speed of 35-37 mph. Watch the sales triple or more.. Even at $2k I would go for such a bike.
Ken, I'd just go with the Scorpion and change controller to 30A while adding 30AH on the back rack. Hyper Scorpion was the bomb with 19.2AH and the cadence/torque PAS. and the 20x4.5 tires... But, sold out
@@usaclaimsthemoon4198 no, you have to turn the pedals or else it limits to 20 ): but they sell an upgraded motor controller to get it faster throttle only. not sure if that ones limited to 28 or unlimited
Was interesting until i saw they are using a metal sided gear, Ariel rider learned awhile ago that the difference in material did not work well. Also made the e-bike very loud. That ruins it for me
@@jimjr9143 I don't care about that...I'm interested in the top speed and price point with full suspension and hydro brakes. I didn't notice him say the bike was louder than nylon geared bikes? It would make sense, but 40mph machines can make a little noise...probably safer that way.
I’d like to order a shorter handlebar, I’m curious if anyone has put on a shorter bmx bar and which they used to fit the current stem? Thank you ( I’m still waiting for the bike to arrive, wanna get the bars before we put it together!)
Here are the specs according to the bike's technical spec sheet: Custom Designed BMX Style Handlebar Clamp: 31.8 mm Stem: 28.6 mm (1-1/8 Threadless ) Length: 40 mm
Handlebars are a little low in my opinion , speedo glitches but doesn't affect ride or performance. Anybody own the seatpost suspension? lol curious. My brakes squeal also but super fun bike qualityish build could be better .
I have this bike, bought it used with very little miles on it. The throttle only up hill would have been wayyyy faster if he had just cycled his legs slightly. This bike in race mode will give your reaction time and grip a good stress test. I’ve seen 28mph exactly one time while riding on a flat section of road with no wind. The rest of the time it’s about 26mph. Which to be clear is plenty fast. This sucker will climb a hill with the best of them. It’s a shame it didn’t sell better. I think the problem was they sold a dumbed down version that only went 20mph and ppl got confused.
@@HOSTILEMGTOW --- As a consumer, sure. But builders/ dealers maybe want to stay out of trouble and sell "street legal.". Those Bafangs already peak at 1300W. Juiced has "hyper" versions of some bikes but this one is marketed as within the standards and probably sells well because it's "street legal."
The Class 3 version we tested incorporates a torque sensor that can be deactivated through the settings menu. We liked it better with the torque sensing portion activated, even though the bike does tend to rely more on the cadence sensor at higher speeds.
@@pulldpin67 I added Cloud 9 seat and Suntour NCX seatpost to my Lectric style folding hardtail. But this Ripracer is ZERO suspension! No front shocks either... They're asking way too much $ for this cheap frame. Then add to that no fenders, no rear rack... It's not available on their website which tells me it's discontinued. $500 more gets the Scorpion with Dbl Crown forks, Great headlight, double shocks in the rear, fenders, rack, 1000W hub motor and much more...

Outstanding! 🙌 This little guy sure packs a punch 🥊
Yeah it does, it exceeded our expectations!
Super thorough review! Awesome
Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!
I might buy 2 of these for my kids for the holidays. They are ready. Now we can ALL RIP!!
They are fun bikes!
How old are your kids? I am trying to find something for my 8 year old
This is such a good review. Complete and informative. Thank you. Btw, where is the location of the rides? I would love to hit those trails!
Thank you! St. George and Washington, Utah!

You live life at a 12 even though the scale only goes to 10. Keep doing you, Kev

i got one of these. in unlocked race mode on full battery it gets to 28mph easily
Vroom vroom
With just throttle right?
@@usaclaimsthemoon4198 no, you have to turn the pedals or else it limits to 20 ): but they sell an upgraded motor controller to get it faster throttle only. not sure if that ones limited to 28 or unlimited
you can put it on race mode and it will go faster than 20mph without pedal assist?
Yes 28-31 mph depends on your weight
I'm patiently waiting for my Wired Freedom bike to arrive....can't wait for 60v and over 2,000 watts peak for only $2k.
Interesting. We'll have to take a look at that one next.

Have you been able to review the Juiced JetCurrent PRO yet? We value your reviews, Thanks
Great and insightful video 👍.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does it have a steel frame or Aluminum??
Also can you put water bottle holders on it or any other attachments
Thanks for the information 😊
The frame is aluminum, and yes, it comes with pack mounts on the down tube for a bottle cage.
Thank you
hello! i’m wondering if you know what size stem would fit the stock handle bars ?
Here are the specs according to the bike's technical spec sheet:
Custom Designed BMX Style Handlebar
Clamp: 31.8 mm
Stem: 28.6 mm (1-1/8 Threadless )
Length: 40 mm
@@ElectricBikeReport thank you so much!!
Sick! A fatty tire bmx’er they had me in mind when they designed this
It's really fun to ride!
Wish you would have showed about the battery, how to charge and such.
Is there anything specific you have questions about? The battery is pretty easy to remove and charge.
If it's a single speed why does it have a derailleur? The Lectric XP lite is single speed with no derailleur.
It's more of a chain tensioner than a derailleur.
Will you guys be doing the new juiced scorpion?
We hope so 🤞
Great review does it still come in yellow ??.
Seems to be out of stock. Hopefully it comes back soon!
It has a $999 price for sales now. I just ordered one.
Nice, let us know what you think of it after you get it!
nice i think im about to do the same, ho wyou likin it?

750W❓️. Why didn't Tora just build this juiced model with a 1000W motor🤔❓️.
Check the speed tests and hill climbing sections. Not sure this bike needs to go to 1000W, it does just fine on the 750 :)
@@ElectricBikeReport
Watching it now, I feel you buddy. I still would've built it with a 1000W though LOL 😏🚲🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓.
Most states classify ebikes as 750W or less. Things could get complicated with laws at 1000W.
@@surfpsych
I'm aware of that.but there's always ways to work around laws/rules too ya know 😎🚲🚓❓️.

Sounds like Carl sagen!😅
Welp, that's one of the more random references we've gotten, but we'll take it! Cheers!
Very similar to the Pedego Element
There's some overlap there
Im going to look at a used one of these tomorrow for $550 and I’m JUICED. Hahaha. Has 5000 miles on it 😮
Check the tires and brakes very carefully. If they look close to needing to be replaced, you might be better off going new.
BRO THE BREAK !!!!
i hear it .. its not calliber
Got two of these for the boys and they are fun to ride around town. They do have a surprisingly powerful motor.
This bike only has a cadence sensor.
The Class 3 version we tested incorporates a torque sensor that can be deactivated through the settings menu. We liked it better with the torque sensing portion activated, even though the bike does tend to rely more on the cadence sensor at higher speeds.
worst customer service ever... hope you don't have issues
Great drivetrain... But, my 74 yr old butt and back are way past being able to handle no suspension... 🥲
Understandable!
I'm in the same boat...but wouldn't getting a suspension seat and post solve that isue?
