San Diego-based e-bike company Juiced launched its latest electric bike, the Juiced Scorpion X2. This marks a triumphant return for the popular electric moped-style bike. This e-bike comes with an upgraded 1,000W motor and 52V/15Ah battery pack.

I've been telling you all that this would happen: as the e-bike industry progresses, we're seeing stronger and more affordable machines. After all, speed has been selling itself ever since humans witnessed the first cheetahs ripping it up across the lands.

If you're looking for a more compact, straightforward ebike that offers solid off-road capability, the RipRacer from Juiced delivers. With its outstanding 55+ mile range and surprisingly (almost unnecessarily) powerful 750W motor, it offers substantial performance.

Juiced Bikes is now one of the few e-bike companies to offer UL-listed batteries, though the number is slowly growing. It’s a move that matches Juiced’s ethos, as the company has already gone above and beyond on many of its models’ safety features.

Across the last five years, it would have cost me $1,751.10 for just the gas to drive the miles I’ve biked, or $621 more than what I paid for my bike’s fuel and maintenance. The added car maintenance would be an additional $1,161.50 to my car costs for that five year period, or $1,782 more than I paid for my e-bike during that time.

The Juiced RipRacer is a lot more fun than it should be, for a lot less than you might think. It's one of the more affordable offroad e-bikes we've tested, and it can go just about anywhere. This bike has some serious pep.

The huge padded seat is incredibly comfortable. There are tall left and right side view mirrors emerging from the handlebars. And the all-black machine is powered with a mighty 1,000W RetroBlade motor that lets me easily, smoothly and quickly get up to 30 miles per hour.

If you’re looking for a powerful fat tire e-bike for bombing around off-road, the Juiced RipRacer is surefooted, fast, and flat-out fun. While it isn’t built for technical mountain trails, you can have a blast zipping over gravel, dirt, or easy flow trails with surefooted confidence.

Once you’ve started down the road, you’ll quickly realize why the RipCurrent S excels to the head of the pack. Its thumb-controlled throttle is smooth and powerful, capable of propelling you up to 28 MPH with minimal pedaling exertion. The 9-speed cassette gears shift crisply, and as you’re charging ahead you’ll enjoy a supremely smooth ride.

Having compared the Juiced RipCurrent S against over a dozen e-bikes within its relative price segment, I can report that few deliver the same fusion of speed, acceleration, and battery rage. It performs like e-bikes that are twice its price.
