Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Juiced RipCurrent. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

RipCurrent riders say this bike is fast, reaching a 28mph, Class 3 top speed.

The RipCurrent uses a 750-watt Bafang motor that tops out at 1300 peak watts.

Massive 26” x 4” tires cushion the RipCurrent’s ride, on-road or off.

An independent thumb throttle is available to RipCurrent riders.

Hydraulic disc brakes stop the RipCurrent powerfully, with reduced effort.

Owners found the RipCurrent’s 45-mile maximum range ample for commuting and long trips.

For its asking price, buyers found the RipCurrent to be a good value.

Off-road riders say the RipCurrent proves stable through muddy trails.

With both torque and cadence sensors, the RipCurrent closely attunes electric assistance to pedal input.

Assembly of the RipCurrent was usually easy, taking as little as thirty minutes.

The Juiced RipCurrent comes with a powerful 1050-lumen headlight.

As a direct online buy, the RipCurrent reportedly arrived well-packaged.

5 reasons not to buy

A 6’2” rider felt the X-Large RipCurrent wasn’t tall enough to enable an upright riding position.

One owner’s new RipCurrent had a sticking throttle. Juiced replaced it swiftly.

A buyer felt that some of the RipCurrent’s instructions were inadequate and not specific to the RipCurrent.

For one owner, the power button of their near-new RipCurrent stuck on. The issue was quickly remedied by Juiced.

Some RipCurrent owners feel the stock saddle is too firm.

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.

RadRover Compared to the RipCurrent. My eBike Experience

Level 1 expert

Both bikes have the same 750-watt, geared-hub motor but the RipCurrent will get you up to 28mph… the RipCurrent is a Class 3 e-bike, while the RadRover is a Class 2… If you’re trying to get from point A to point B in the fastest possible way, a Class 3 e-bike is the way to go… Let’s talk about disc brakes. The Rad has mechanical and the RipCurrent has hydraulic… You’re paying $███ more but you do get quality.
