The Juiced RipCurrent S is an electric fat bike that can also serve as your daily commuter. It comes with a rack and fenders. The bike is stable at speeds up to 28mph. It comes equipped with a very bright front light. It also comes with a tail-light. Unfortunately, this rear light is not integrated and requires batteries. The Kenda tires are puncture-resistant but do not have reflective sidewalls. The bike is heavy. This makes it a challenge for some to maneuver and transport.Expert Reviews
