This self-proclaimed fun-sized electric bike deftly combines the exhilaration of go-anywhere electric bikes with the convenience of small-format micromobility vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>In doing so, it makes the RipRacer just as much of a utilitarian e-bike as it is a fun-loving adventure-riding runabout.<\/p>\n<p>It may look small \u2013 and it kind of is \u2013 but the RipRacer still packs in everything we\u2019ve come to know and love from <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/JuicedBikesHomepage\">California-based Juiced Bikes<\/a>. That means big batteries, big motors, quality e-bike components, and a general disregard for plain old boring e-bike design.<\/p>\n<p>The bike also marks the first introduction of Juiced\u2019s fancy-pants new second-generation electric bike batteries that come with added features, such as a carry handle and a hidden spot for an AirTag tracking device.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look below to see my video review of the Class 3 version of the RipRacer, and then read on for my complete thoughts on this awesome new electric bike model.<\/p>\n<h2>Juiced RipRacer Video Review<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe id=\"post-youtube-video\" title=\"Juiced RipRacer review: 28 MPH fun-sized electric bike\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wh5M-xjzus4?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Juiced RipRacer Tech Specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Motor:<\/strong>\u00a0750W rear geared hub motor (peaks at over 1,000W)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top speed:<\/strong>\u00a028 mph (45 km\/h) or 20 mph (32 km\/h) for the Class 2 version<\/li>\n<li><strong>Range:<\/strong>\u00a0Up to 55 miles (88 km) on pedal-assist or up to 35 miles (56 km) on Class 2 version<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery:<\/strong>\u00a052V 15.6Ah 800 Wh (removable and lockable) or 10.4Ah on the Class 2 version<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 66 lb (30 kg)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Max load:<\/strong>\u00a0275 lb (125 kg)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wheels<\/strong>: 20-inch x 4-inch fat tires<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brakes:<\/strong>\u00a0Hydraulic disc brakes (180 mm rotors)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extras:<\/strong>\u00a0LED matrix display, bright headlight and taillight, handle grip under saddle for lifting bike, kickstand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Juiced RipRacer review: This fun-sized fat tire electric bike hits 28 mph in a nimble package\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1380\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"juiced ripracer e-bike\" class=\"wp-image-238535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg 1380w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-15.jpg?resize=350,233 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-a-whole-new-type-of-e-bike\">A whole new type of e-bike<\/h2>\n<p>The Juiced RipRacer is something of an enigma for an e-bike.<\/p>\n<p>Fat tire e-bikes are generally bigger machines designed for trails and other off-the-beaten-path riding situations.<\/p>\n<p>But the RipRacer is actually fairly small and light. At 66 lb (30 kg), it\u2019s not a <em>lightweight<\/em> e-bike, but it\u2019s decently svelte compared to most fat tire e-bikes that pack on a few dozen more pounds.<\/p>\n<p>Juiced Bikes says it \u201ccomfortably fits\u201d riders from 5\u20190\u2033 to 6\u20193\u2033 (152 to 191 cm). I\u2019m 5\u20197\u2033 (170 cm) and fall right in the middle of that range. For me, the bike feels great.<\/p>\n<p>And thanks to its smaller size, it easily fits in more places. It takes up less room in your garage, is easier to slide in the back of a truck or SUV, can wiggle itself into an elevator, and is nimble enough to weave through city traffic. The wheelbase is a mere 40.3\u2033 (102 cm), meaning the bike turns on a dime (which, while we\u2019re doing conversions, is 9.6 euro cents).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide

1380px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s not that we haven\u2019t seen <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2020\/10\/26\/pedego-element-review-testing-pedegos-cheapest-electric-bike\/\">smaller fat tire e-bikes before<\/a>. It\u2019s just that Juiced\u2019s is <em>better<\/em>. And a big part of that has to do with Juiced\u2019s tech.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, you get that highly detailed LED matrix display, or at least you get it if you opt for the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/Juiced-RipRacer\">$1,599 Class 3 version of the e-bike<\/a>. If you get the lower-priced <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/Juiced-RipRacer\">$1,399 Class 2 version<\/a>, that bike comes with a more simplified display. Considering the Class 3 version can be unlocked to go 28 mph (45 km\/h) compared to the Class 2 version\u2019s limited 20 mph (32 km\/h) speed, I highly recommend getting the Class 3 version for the extra speed and fun.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also that awesome new battery. It\u2019s a large capacity 52V 15.6Ah pack with a whopping 800 Wh of capacity (though it\u2019s a smaller 540 Wh pack on the Class 2 version of the RipRacer). The big battery offers tons of range, up to 55 miles (88 km). But more importantly, it also offers new features, such as the ability to hide an Apple AirTag for tracking the battery and\/or bike if it should, unfortunately, get stolen. Juiced is also planning on offering <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/01\/23\/behind-the-scenes-look-at-juiceds-low-cost-28-mph-ripracer-electric-bike-production-in-china\/\">a charging dock and base station that turns your e-bike into a power station to run 110V AC devices and smaller USB devices<\/a>, so this second-generation battery pack has some serious potential outside of just powering your e-bike.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the bright LED lighting. Instead of going with cheap and dinky lights, Juiced Bikes outfitted the RipRacer with some high-quality and ultra-bright LEDs. The headlight puts out 1,050 lumens, for crying out loud! That\u2019s enough to light up the road, not just shine into the eyes of some car drivers in a feeble hope that they notice you.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images

The front fork looks like a suspension fork, but that\u2019s just a clever design. It\u2019s actually a rigid fork, meaning there\u2019s no suspension on the bike other than what you get from the 4\u2033 of air and rubber between your rims and the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the bike is a single-speed. I hope you weren\u2019t looking for a derailleur because that ain\u2019t it. There\u2019s a tensioner on the back, but it doesn\u2019t shift gears. Instead, it just keeps your chain from flopping around and also makes it easier to remove the wheel to change a flat tire.<\/p>\n<p>The bike also doesn\u2019t include any fenders or racks as standard equipment. You can add front and rear racks\/baskets, plus fenders and other accessories, but they\u2019ll cost you extra.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, there\u2019s a ton to appreciate here with the RipRacer. It\u2019s a powerful e-bike with well over 1,000W of peak power. It has a big ol\u2019 battery with some awesome new features. Those hydraulic disc brakes are strong and grippy. And the geometry makes it just as much fun for hopping curbs as tearing up trails.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the epitome of a go-anywhere e-bike, as long as you don\u2019t mind the lack of suspension. But considering the small size and increased convenience, I\u2019m quite happy with the RipRacer\u2019s current package. The big tires are enough suspension for me, and the bike is so much fun that the term \u201cfun-sized\u201d feels even more appropriate than ever.<\/p>\n<p>This is absolutely an e-bike to check out if you\u2019re looking for high performance in a small package and want to get some pretty good quality components to boot!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Juiced RipRacer review: This fun-sized fat tire electric bike hits 28 mph in a nimble package\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1380\" height=\"920\" data-id=\"238537\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"juiced ripracer e-bike\" class=\"wp-image-238537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg 1380w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-13.jpg?resize=350,233 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Juiced RipRacer review: This fun-sized fat tire electric bike hits 28 mph in a nimble package\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1380\" height=\"920\" data-id=\"238536\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"juiced ripracer e-bike\" class=\"wp-image-238536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg 1380w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/juiced-ripracer-review-electric-bike-14.jpg?resize=350,233 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\" readability=\"6.3518518518519\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCcOIZzJgLCyMPILY7-1Vsdg?sub_confirmation=1\">Subscribe to Electrek on YouTube for exclusive videos<\/a> and subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrek.co\/guides\/electrek-podcast\">podcast<\/a>.<!-- youtube embed --><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Recent Videos\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v14GjuL7Gms?playlist=OCapyMtjTjk,Po1YREJP0iA,YvQO-v-IUjg,w9vFmXo9464,FRTm8SPoDO8,FCzwgkGBzco,fcPzhLeN9K0,wh5M-xjzus4,u33YyLPO_v0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The descriptors \u201cnimble\u201d and \u201cfat tire\u201d rarely go together as well as they do with the Juiced RipRacer.
