The standard Scorpion is a lot of fun to ride. Looks cool, the full suspension provides for smooth travels. Big bright lights a comfortable seat and lots of hill climbing power.
The hypersport does 30 miles an hour and I saw 2 mirrors. This juiced bike seems like absolutely quality and he posted great video's with testing!
Loving the Scorpion X2 now... Hyper Scorpion is now $1599 for Bafang 1000W, 52V15.6AH, 30+mph, hyd 180mm discs, great head/tail/turn lites. I love it!
Best review of this bike I've seen yet👍
Me and the wife have a couple of Rogue Barracuda electric mopeds and we live in the English countryside and we like to go off adventuring and often take a picnic I recommend these style of e-bikes as they are so comfortable for traveling.
Thanks for your short and to the point reviews. Much needed.
I have this Scorpion in blue and it’s awesome. The 750W motor makes it ebike legal according to federal law. Anything above 750W cannot be considered an electric bicycle by law and therefore cannot use bike lanes, has to be registered with the DMV, etc. With 750 W motor you’re completely free, plus the speed is plenty enough in my opinion. Also, I pedal this thing all the time and have done so for like 5-6 hours straight on a few occasions and I have no trouble with seat height. I’m a 5’10” male. Just make sure you keep a straight back and don’t hunch over the handlebar.

Really like the seat. Unlike those tiny ones on some ebikes.
Keep in mind, this bike is also available as a hyper scorpion with 1000 W motor. Mirrors front lights blinkers back light blinkers key locking, and pushbutton alarm.
You might want to take a look at Garmin’s bike radar to monitor what’s coming up behind. We sure like it. Mirrors would help too.
Looking good on that bike Micah! It fits you try reviewing that hyper here it pretty fast. Would like to see that. Thinking about getting one but...man pricey for 65inches of aluminum. And I a great the weight stymies the 750watt mother. Upgrading my RadMini with Bolton Bikes upgrade kit and Electricbikeworlds Bafang “real” 750watt motor. Got motor waiting on controller and monitor.. with 20” wheels this will give me the torque I need (hills). May convert to 52v battery down the road (maybe) for speed. But thinking Hyper Scorpion hmmm...
2 yr old video but, hey! Juiced bikes Rock! I opted for the $849 G-Force T42 copy of the Lectric XP 3.0, which has : 750/1100 motor, 20A controller, bigger: battery, tires, forks and top speed. Also 4 pounds heavier... My plan is to add a 20ah battery on the rack and a mid drive Bafang when the hub motor dies...
Just ordered mine 2 days ago before the sale went off. Hoping it’ll be here before the end of the month looking forward to using it for commuting to and from work.

It seems to me with such a well thought out setup as a moped it should definitely have a significantly higher top speed (and hence what you said , more power). I think at that price point and top speed I would purchase more in the e-bike category and be willing to live with a less beefy frame and suspension.

I suspect they're keeping it where it is for legal reasons so that it's classified as an ebike and not a moped. Mopeds can't ride trails, sidewalks, etc - so keeping it an ebike offers a lot of flexibility but not speed. It'll have to adhere to the 3 federal ebike classes (US statement, no idea about other nations) - but I suspect it has a mode for off-road or private property where it doesn't have to comply.

I read somewhere that Juiced took over the design of the Onyx CTY when Onyx decided to focus on the RCR. I gotta say, the CTY looked so much better. They nailed the 'vintage moped meets modern electric' design with very clean lines, whereas the Scorpion with added rack, high bars, balloon tires looks a bit dorky. I hope Onyx brings it back at some point...

mennoosmusic Juiced did not take over the CTY. ONYX plans to rerelease the CTY. The Scorpion is an offshoot of the Bird Cruiser rental bike it was contracted to produce for Bird which also owns and released the Cruiser under Scoot branding. ONYX founder and designer left ONYX to lead design efforts at Bird a year ago and he had a hand in the Cruiser which the Scorpion borrows a lot from.
The intro reminds me of the movie hot rod with Andy Sandberg. 😉😄
A lot of chain slap that should have some sort of tension control. I really like the look and idea of it all. I think a lot of people will be modifying this bike.

What happens if you get a puncture You did not say whether or not the wheels are solid or have inner tubes or whatever.
Can you attach the kids trailer traveler on like a normal bicycle? To drag that I mean?
I totally want a moped styled e bike but I wonder how practical they are. They don't have adjustable seats etc and seem heavy. I'd also like a bike for some exercise. But damn they look nice.
Thanks for terrific vid. I agree with you. Looks like it's faster but probably a cruiser. But for $1899 from China? I'd say $1500 would be fair. It's not a mid-drive motor but instead a rear wheel single speed. What about replacement parts? Don't get me wrong, I like the Scorpion a lot and the owner is cool but it sure is pricey and at some point difficult to maintain. Battery might cost anywhere from $350 and up and would be a direct part purchase from Juiced until someone can copy the battery harness. But sizing the ebike is kind of difficult to gauge. Can you give your opinion about different heights and comfort to pedal? Thanks.
Your shifter on left handlegrip is upside down. I see another post that this upside down shifter was also sent to another customer out of the box. Has this issue been fixed?
It's cool, but I used to have a Puch gas moped back in the 80's. I think I might be disappointed with the power and speed on this. I wish Juiced had a step through version of the Crosscurrent S similar to the Radcity but with the Class 3, slightly beefier tires and better components. That would be definitely worth the extra few hundred dollars.

Speaking of mopeds... can you review the Monday motorbike gen7?
No mirrors? To me, who installed seatbelts in his parents cars in the late ‘50’s, this would be like not using those seatbelts. Thanks for the great review videos.
The only issue for me would be the battery cause I would mainly use it for working and commuting from work to my home.
Will you review the new Segway C80 moped!?!? Please want you’re honest and professional opinion about it if it is really worth the money? I realize it is a slower moped but would it be good for around town cruising in flat range areas?
where is that? looks nice and clean!
Maybe you can review the DJ Bikes Super Bike. It looks like this one with a banana seat. Super curious about that one.

I've gotten to try the standard seat and felt like I was on a toddler bike. Bearable on throttle only, but knees pointing at the sky pedaling. I didn't get to try the taller seat, it'd be better I'm sure. I'd really like to see more of the pedal use shown. Even though many will ride it throttle only, I'm still interested in pedaling - knowing it won't be optimal, but want to better understand how not optimal (tolerable or miserable). Great looking bike.

They're really not too fast for bike paths, especially since you obviously don't have to go full speed. On a bike like this the throttle is only 20mph, which a much lighter pedal bike can hit anyways, and even if you pedal really hard they max out at 28mph. I ride my juiced scrambler on local bike paths all the time with 0 problems. Just slow down and be courteous when there are others you're sharing the trail with.

Agree. If we want e bike riding to flourish it can't get close to that merging with autos , that is exactly what happened in the first generation of ebikes and public opinion and legislation pushed bikes out, driving down both sales and manufacturing and design in the process. No need to get motorbike envy with an ebike anyways.
These bikes weigh a ton! Start talking about weight and how to transport these things.
Would you pedal this bike on a bike path 12 miles one way? Is this a good commuter moped?
@Electrek

With pedal assist? For sure. I find it decently pedalable with moderate pedal assist levels. I can also pedal it without the battery on, but its tiring quickly.
I like it and I would think of certifying it for the European community. It is THE street style mobilette(!) that could be appreciated by young boys and girls. It luckilly has a 750W motor so that it needs no specifications on European roads. The only thing is that the speed must be limited at 25 K an hour to remain a legal bicycle.but that will enhance its range. Can't they show it in some Television commercials with Coca Cola or so, something big? Could be a hype,serious.
Is it waterproof?
Part of the problem (Thu's your only complaint) is you're wriding this thing like a motorcycle, when it's not. A 750 was designed to pedal assist a lot of the time not just sit there and turn the throttle like you're on a Harley.

Hey Micah, with how many ebikes you've ridden it seems like you're in a unique position to compare different models. Along those lines, I'd love to hear a minute of commentary towards the end of these reviews about how each bike stacks up against others in its "class". With the Scorpion, for example, the RadRunner and S73 jump out as obvious competitors that people watching this video might be considering. Would be great to hear your thoughts since you've ridden all those!
