- It came our earlier this year but the price has never been this low. Class 2 is $999! For a 52v ebike, that’s insane! As of this moment, the Class 3 version in yellow is cheaper than the other colors, $1,299 instead of $1,399.
Been wanting a Juiced ebike for over a decade and it’s finally in my garage! Time to assemble! Installing rear rack and front basket too. Kids are going to love it.
It’s true that the brakes do squeal out of the box. During initial assembly may be a good time to install the resin pads ($10 for Shimano ones Amazon). You’ll need to shave down the width of one on each pair to install them into the stock calipers. Half the housing of each front/rear caliper unfortunate is not symmetrical with its other half. Quality control issue nut once resolved, the bike is tons of fun.
This CZcamsr produced a really thorough overview of the bike's performance:
Ebike Escape: • Juiced RipRacer Review... - Zábava
Thank you for your reviews on the Rip Racer. I was trying to decide on an ebike and your reviews persuaded me.I ordered mine today.Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Awesome! You're going to love it. And that price you got on that sale is amazing! Kinda wish I got it for that cheap too!
Got the same bike coming in a few days, your videos were a huge help in deciding to pull the trigger.
Awesome. Makes me start to spinster if I should do affiliate links. Haha. Enjoy. You’re going to live it. But watch my other video because you will need to buy resin pads and shave them down to get rid of the brakes squeal, which is very common for pretty much all E bikes.
@@Funcentric haha yeah I've watched them all. And yes... you should definitely do affiliate links. Whether you realize it or not, you are helping a lot of people with these videos. They will gladly buy things through your affiliate links to thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
@@Eric.Estrada Thanks Eric. I really appreciate it. Glad the videos were helpful.
Beautiful EBike. Never heard of this company. Welds look great. Thanks for the video.
I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one! How does it handle hills? I know it is geared pretty high, just wondering how the motor does on steeper hills? Pretty hilly where I live, lol. Thanks.
Hi. What brake pads are the best for ripracer ? Thank you
Great review
I’ll have a review in the future. This is just unboxing and assembly.
Hiii forgot to ask if the yellow ripracer on sale for 1299 comes with the g2 battery. It doesn’t say it on the website. Thank you
It does come with the g2 battery. It’s like $799 if purchased separately. Crazy.
@@Funcentric Be sure to get the 15.6 AH capacity. or be bummed!
Thanks for the excellent content. I want to purchase the Rip Racer with ZERO YES NO battery/
And use all the other batts I have from other bikes. I do want their controller for the 15.6 AH 52V but no Battery.
You'd have to buy the whole thing and sell the battery as Juiced doesn't sell the bike w/o it as far as I know. If you're looking for a controller, there's ones available at Aliexpress. KT is a popular brand and is what I have in my 48v overvolted ebike conversion. Works well. Smooth. Rides better than the Juiced Rip Racer actually.
@@Funcentric YES sir you are absolutely correct, with battery and over taxation w/o representation.
I'm at 1.400 ish delivered. No shocks and 750W 15.6 AH batt. check out the battery blender from Spark, I bought it for this project/ I might hold off from buying anymore ebikes, I have 7.
@@tommcgill1671 That's what I said about RC cars and then they multiplied to 17.
@@Funcentric well based upon your thumbnail of 999.00 plus the hi VIZ yellow, I bought the RR on Christmas Day. Santa, missed the delivery so I had to pull the trigger. Thank-You MR FunC, I will let Juiced know, hope you get CRED!?! Number 8 is my project bike. I only ride moped style so the Big FAT and TALLS are leaving the stable. 2Volt Yukon750's and two Himi Cruisers. Rattan 750 folder and Lectric 2,0 boring!!! AR Griz V2
HODL!
@@tommcgill1671 Cool! Congrats! Mine was an early Christmas gift to myself also!
If this bike had the motor and controller that my Kepler has then I would have bought this bike I think.
Is it about 45 pounds without the battery installed in stock form?
No, it is no lighter than most e-bikes with this spec and aligns in the 65lb range. I don’t know if any 52v 750w motor ebike that would weigh that little. Even road or hybrid bikes with much lower specs will weigh 42lbs.
I new the price would drop my pre order will arrive in June my total was $1259 for the class 3 it’s back to $1600 now.
Yup, congrats. I’m not big on seats. I think a seat upgrade is very much over rated. The reason why it’s such a popular upgrade is because a vast majority of ebike buyers are somewhat new to cycling. There’s not a high conversion of cyclist to become e-cyclists. So they’re just not used to riding a bike at all. So any seat they want to feel like a couch. Each to their own. I’m fine with mine. I like the look and the kids need the handlebar on the back so I I’m keeping mine.
Did you have to do anything for the price to drop? I’m thinking about buying one right now and if i can get a couple hundred off that’d be amazing
@@nuddabuddaaa No, it just happened to be on sale. I recently saw the Class 2 for $899 and and Class 3 for $1,199. That’s the lowest I’ve seen for both. My class 3 was $1,299 which is $100 off the normal price.
@@Funcentric We must live in different areas, it is $1499 for the class 3 where I live with only a $200 off discount code for mothers day
@@nuddabuddaaa You’ll have to check the date of the video. Prices change all the time. The latest deal was $1,199 for class 3 and $899 for class 2.
Didn't come with the tools to assemble it ? I got the same one waiting for me to pick up at my apartment clubhouse was going to set it up there.
Came with an excellent set of tools. Legit high quality you can actually keep and reuse. Not junky.
@@Funcentric it came with the wrong screw drive and was missing the tire screw . I actually found it after I built it and it's encased in the extra bolt cover. I already took one off my other bike and used that as a replacement. I'm a little disappointed in the performance. Than again it was a $1000 bike and they sent me the wrong color. So hopefully I grow to love it. It's already going to become my daily gym bike all my other bikes weigh 75-170lbs so it's feels a lot better moving it up and down the stairs(3rd floor apartment.
@@davidsenay2811 oh wow. That’s still some hefty weight to bring up stairs though. If you hadn’t already assembled it, I’m sure they would’ve corrected the color for you.
Disappointed in performance? In what way? Turning? Acceleration? Braking?
@@Funcentric breaking and general power. It's similar to the first ebike I ever bought 10 years ago. I was hoping for it to match my other 750watt bike.
@@davidsenay2811 was that one a 52v also? I have an overvolted 48v diy bike and they definitely perform differently. Different beasts. I still like both.
Cute kids. Reminds me of my son and daughter…. Before their voices dropped and they became big 20 year old jerks. 😅
Haha. Now I know what to look forward to.
How fat does it go
How fast? All ebikes in the USA are supposed to be capped off at 20mph whether pedaling or using throttle. No matter the price, make or model, they are all regulated the same in North America. Some controllers on Class 3 bikes allow you to unlock it for offroad use and can top out at 28mph.
However, this video is about a Class 2 bike and does not have that capability. Class 3 is also sold by Juiced and as I mentioned in the video, is very similar with the exception of the display/controller.
@@Funcentric no like how far can it go how many miles
@@sofiamehmood7345 No one can really tell you b/c of all the variables like riding style, terrain, load, etc. However the generic equation is (voltage x ah) / 20. So in this case, (52v x 16ah) / 20 = 41 give or take. Again, that's a big assumption that 1 mile will require 20ah to travel.
If you're heavier or running offroad or are riding faster, you may need to divide it by 30. Where as if you're more conservative, weigh less, stay only on paved roads, you may divide it by 15. But to compare bike to bike, you can use that equation.
I have a couple more videos about how to choose an ebike. I recommend you take a look so you don't spend money in the wrong places for something that may look attractive, but doesn't suite you as well.
@@Funcentric ok will do thank you
@@sofiamehmood7345 Sure thing. Always happy to help. Figured I do all the leg work already for my own research for my own purchases, I may as well share with anyone else interested.
