@@goodguy4405 I just ordered mine today, but won't get it until mid March. I'm hoping I can take both batteries and the front wheel off and put this bike in my SUV to go places. Have you tried that?
@@tom5ironman I am planning on doing a torture ride starting at the base of Pikes Peak all the way up to the summit.

I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago. I don't have an estimated time when it will ship yet. It's painful waiting :( Not too many RUclips videos out there on this bike yet other than official postings by Juiced or professional product reviewers that are given a bike to review. So thanks for posting this.
Thanks I usually don’t post videos, but I had the same problem as you, I couldn’t find anything on youtube for this bike. I basically bought it without any real information. Which is crazy given it’s $3000 price. But it all worked out and I am happy with it. I was surprised by the size and weight of the bike. But it’s a lot of fun!
Great review, I was wondering if you have your phone plugged into the bike and if that drains the bikes battery. I was also wondering if there are any other comparable bikes with similar specks that you would recommend?
I've got two hyperscorpions, two rip current s bikes and this hyperscrambler 2 is coming in a few weeks Over 5,500 mi last year in 6 months, love these bikes
How do the tires do on cold dry pavement? I’ve seen elsewhere that the tires can be dangerous, but then some people apparently, in warm climates think that they’re great. I’m thinking they’re probably OK when it’s warm out but get hard as a rock when it’s cold.
Thanks for the review! There’s very few videos out there of this thing so it was nice to find yours. I think the only question I have is regarding build quality and components. Do you feel that the bike is built to a high standard?
Hello, the overall build quality is pretty good.. This bike is a tank. Having said that, this bike isn’t perfect. The tires and seat are the biggest cons about the bike. You will want to swap both sooner than later. The other components do their job. Can you get better components? Yes! But i’m in no hurry to swap them out. I will be upgrading components as they fail but I find them to be adequate for the time being.
@@mattmcgowan9145 hi Matt, there is nothing physically wrong with the seat. The issue comes down to your own personal taste and comfort. For me, the seat is OK on short rides. It becomes very uncomfortable on longer rides to the point where I have to get off and rest my butt. I am in the process of finding a new seat to put on it because I am all about Comfort. Hope this helps.👍🏾
Thanks for the review. I'm glad you rode this on the road in your video. I do have a question. How have the batteries held up to you? Do you charge them often? I want to use it as a daily commuter to save on gas and I need moped speed (approx.30 mph).
Had the chance to ride with a passenger yet? How’s the seat- esp on that long ride you mentioned. Thanks for putting this out, there’s so little content on it, it’s cool to see in action.
Hi Jake, my apologies I forgot to mention the seat in the video. I would say the seat falls into the “con” list. On short rides it’s ok. On long rides it’s awful. I personally don’t think riding two up is ideal for this bike unless you had a small child. I’m 5’8” and when I sit on the bike my backside is about 2 to 3 inches from the end of the seat not enough room for a second rider in my opinion 👍
First of all I consider buying that bike in December but I felt it wasn't a good thing to do because I currently paying for another bike I bought a year ago and I didn't want to be paying for 2 bikes at once. My question to you is there's a switch on the bike to switch to the other battery when one battery is low or not then do the batteries run in parallel and the run together as one.
Your overstating the mileage I have a hyper scorpion and am familiar with the battery. You have two while I have one with secondary 52v 30ah back up w/juiced duel battery connector/ switch. The only way you could get that mileage from the juiced pack is in Eco 1 and 2 watching not to go over 500watt. But no way anyone would ride the bike that slow 9-10-11 mph. The bike is made to run period. At least the hyper scorpion is, dam thing rocks! You can’t help but run it, it begs you to.
i’m not overstating mileage. However, i’m one that stays in eco 1 and 2 and i naturally pedal a lot (habit). I am planning on doing a race mode only video without peddling to see how many miles i get. i live in an area that has 100’s of miles of bike paths so i have no need to race around at 30 mph too many kids, dogs and ppl walking (not safe) i rode 67 miles and the only reason i had to stop was because the seat gets extremely uncomfortable. it wasn’t because of battery.. i could have gone another 30 and run the batteries down to zero. There’s so many variables that come into play when stating mileage temp, rider weight, speed, headwinds, incline ect. So i can only state what my experience has been. I don’t work for juiced so I have no reason to overstate mileage
@@goodguy4405 thanks for your 30 day review. I just received mine and only went for a short ride as its below 30 in NYC. Have you noticed if the seat and rear suspension soften up with some warmer weather and more use?
@@Aboudi360 The suspension can be dialed in based on your comfort. The seat......... well....... it’s awful and very uncomfortable especially on long rides. I was hoping that it would break in but it’s still hard as as it was the first day i rode it. I’m going to go to an upholster to see about getting it softened up. I will do a video on that as well👍
@@goodguy4405 thanks for the response, I will give the seat some more time in warmer weather before I make a decision on a replacement. I look forward to your seat softening video.
Hey Good Guy ... love riding along with you on your videos. I am here in New York and can't get out much. I'm 5''7 and have one foot on the ground as i wait for lights. I have planned to change the saddle on just 26 miles, have to make my own they are to expensive for me :) By doing so, I can drop the height about 1inch so i can reach the ground better. About the gears, are you able to get all 8 with no noise? I had adjusted them however, gear '1' is not sitting correctly ...
Hey brother thanks for watching! You should try and Find a good upholster in your area, you’re right they could probably shave the seat down an inch or so to lower the overall height of the bike. If they do that, that bike will be perfect for you.
@@goodguy4405 Glad to hear your gears are riding well. Maybe in the future, I'll send you an image of my gear on number 1 and you let me know if it looks the same as yours? mine has too much noise, so I don't even use gear 1. I have visited Paulsupholster.com and he is good, but brother he wants 375.00, ouch! a big number for me right now lol. I'll let you know how my saddle turns out :) Okay, GG talk soon... And keep these videos coming, really enjoy them, be safe ...
Thanks for the video I'm still debating between the Hyperscorpion or the HS2 but leaning toward the HS2 Quick question... Where'd you get the crossbar of the handlebars? TIA:)
Same issue here. I wish I could just test ride one as they are made in San Diego (where I live) but Juiced isn't doing test rides because of COVID. Update: I bought the bike on Craigslist, so I was able to test ride before pulling the trigger. The height of it honestly isn't a problem at all. I am used to leaning to one side at stops while keeping my other foot on the pedal. If I ordered a shorter seat, I might be able to flat-foot it, but not a big priority at the moment. I am 5'7", 130 lbs, with 30" inseam.
Greetings from Trinidad. I have one on order. Thank you for your video and insight. Have you had problems with flats caused by Bindii (Goat head burrs)? Again Thanks for posting!
I got the Launch edition black, had 2 flats so far. I live in nyc so there's a lot of debris on the roads, 1 flat was a nail through the front, easy fix. Second was something sharp through the rear tire. The tire actually slid off the wheel and the tire bead cut through the electrical cables so I had to get those fixed. Besides that I've just passed 1200 miles and no issues yet. Great purchase and would buy it again. You'll enjoy yours. My suggestion is to do what I did after the flats, install tire liners, thick tubes and slime the tubes.
I wonder how this bike compares to the Ariel Rider Grizzly? 52v 35A dual battery system with the dual 1000 watt hubs... 🤔 I think the grizzly tires are nobbies and they weigh like 105 pounds? Can switch between hubs and batteries or all on.
Does it come with that phone holder? Does it have a horn or bell? Does it have a speaker I can play music on w Bluetooth? Can I put it on a 4 bike rack with 2 other normal ebikes or too heavy? Thx!!
Hi no phone holder, no bell, no speaker. I would imagine that this bike would be too heavy for a bike rack. It does have a horn! But I added a bell because it’s more polite while on the bike path. 👍🏽
What is your top speed that you can achieve by pedaling, and what is the top speed in race mod throttle only? I would love to hear that information. I have a Cross Current X, don’t get to ride it much do to work and weather.
my top speed was 36 mph but i was going down hill in race mode pedaling as hard as i could. on flat ground i could only get 32 peddling as hard as i could. 30 mph on flat ground in race mode with no peddling (full battery)
@@goodguy4405 Cool, thank you. My max speed that I had reached with the Cross Current X was 33mph with the wind at my back and pedaling in race mode flat ground. I could never get that type of speed again, 30mph at the most at short burst, But lately it feels as though something is not quite right with it. It just seems to have this drag that I think is being caused by the rear hub. I had the brakes checked by a bike shop that also dealt with ebikes, so it is not the brakes. At least I don’t think it is. Have a good evening.
@@nealharmon954 Wow. I am torn between a Cross Current X and the Hyper Scrambler 2. Scary to hear that about your CCX, though I haven't read a similar complaint on Juiced Reviews page. (?)
You mentioned these tires are not ideal at all for riding on ice or snow but do you think they can handle rain well ? Also is the bike waterproof as far as you know ? ( I’m In London that’s why I ask xD ) 🌧 Great review btw 💪
I would say that the bike is water “resistant” but it’s not water proof. I wouldn’t ride in a downpour not because of the tires but I wouldn’t want water getting into the electronics. You definitely will want to order the fenders because you will be soaking wet due to the tires kicking up the water and dirt from the street
look at 5:00 the tire profile come to a point in the center! Do not take a turn at any speed or your going down! Also I dare ya, double dare ya to ride with no hands on those tires. You can't! *Have you ever had any bike that you couldn't ride with no hands? Ever?* Please swap those out fast before you get hurt!
Interesting, I haven’t tried riding with no hands. The next time I ride, I will have to try it.. I will report back to you on that 😃 The tires are on the cheap side and i’ve noticed that they are wearing pretty quick. They are atrocious on snow and ice, so I will be changing them out pretty quickly...
