Bottom line
This is Juiced Bikes's base model of their RipCurrent bike. It’s a Class 3 e-bike with a top speed of 28 miles per hour. The RipCurrent has a 15 amp-hour battery and a maximum range of 45 miles, compared to the RipCurrent S, which has a 19.2 amp-hour battery and 70-mile range. This bike doesn’t have the RipCurrent S’s included fenders or rear rack but it weighs six pounds less. The RipCurrent is fitted with a coil suspension fork, while the S uses air. Both bikes are specced with the same controller and the same motor, powerful hydraulic brakes and a 9-speed drivetrain. Both bikes are more than capable of riding on-road or off, provided you aren’t attempting real trail-riding antics. They’re similar, but the O.G. RipCurrent can be bought for a major discount over the RipCurrent S.
