Juiced Hyperscrambler 2 Review 15,000 Miles

[@kengruz669]

What I would absolutely do, my friend is to remount the rear taillight/brake/turn-signal assembly all the way to the rear for your road safety, especially since you spend the amount of time you do on it in your job. That rear bag blocks everything. If it's not something you either have the time or capacity to do yourself, find an equipped someone to do it and pay them. I can't imagine being on the road without visible lights behind me as cars come up from behind. Thanks for the review.

15k miles and this bike still works. Definitely a solid bike I just wish it wasn’t so heavy. Was in my top 3 list on bikes to get during the Black Friday sale

[@alamorides4485]

The weight is an overall benefit, once you adjust to moving it around.

[@khanrides]

@@alamorides4485 I have to walk 5 steps to leave my house so the weight was just too much. If you don’t have to worry about carrying upstairs then you’re right the weight is a positive

[@SmokeyTreats]

​@Khan Rides Some ebikes have a 2 or 3 mph walk assist button that's perfect for going up stairs.

[@macbook802]

I like that they stand by their products

[@GenkiGoLucky]

Just over a 100 miles on my Scorpion X. So far very impressed with Juiced. Here’s hoping I can get as much love outta mine as you have yours.

[@steveg3885]

Pedaling takes alot of torque/stress off the motor. I like to take over the torque with a aggressive 1,2,3 pedal before every level up. And always let every level max out before raising a level up to minimize the torque. Especially uphill, is where manual torque is always needed.

[@alamorides4485]

I've tried pedaling only after the first motor blew out. It doesn't do squat to prevent motor damage.

[@tdgdbs1]

That's more miles than many garage queens of motorcycles; I am only at 1892 miles, good to know the potential!

[@ansipage]

Dude you are an absolute hero. BOSS.

[@JmieYoutube]

I’ll never get another hub motor, I’ve had and seen way too many problems. Great video 👍🏻

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

Got 7000 miles on my Hyper Scorpion no problems with the motor except it’s load as hell . Sounds like it’s going to blow up kinda sorta grinding /clanging in race mode. But 7000 miles and no problem starts up every time and cruises at 30 easy (I pull of the throttle to let it chill and give it some more juice noise go’s and it settles in just fine. Maybe I get 10,000 miles sure seems that way. I bought a Scorpion X for back up in case the Hyper blows up and I need a bike when I send out for a new motor. Strangely after 400 miles the Scorpion X motor stoped working. It was under warranty so Juiced fixed it. Love both bikes know all ebikes have their issues. The guys at Juiced take care of me when I need them so it’s all good. I do food delivery to. All best man!

Great review, I've been riding ebikes in Brooklyn ny for the last 14 years, I'm always interested in the durability of these ebikes motors,I had to junk plenty of my bikes because of the plastic gear motor s failing because years ago there weren't any places to repair ebikes and electric scooters..thank god there's repair shops all over Brooklyn now because everyone is buying pevs now and saving mad money 💰 like I am..thanks for the review my dude..

[@getblest]

Any repair shops in or near Brooklyn that you've had a good experience with that you can recommend?

[@wb7370]

@getblest "Hi,yes, there all over Brooklyn now,there's two I go to, and they do good work,their a block apart,1th one is FLY wing ebike..666 Nostrand ave,between bergen st and st mark's ave....the other one is down the block, E& ME-bike...1018 bergen st..both do good work for good prices,they have plenty parts and can make scooters and ebikes go faster also...good luck..

[@rantanplan7474]

those geared hub can't really take 2000W peak long term. But they're so much more efficient than direct drives. Changing gears in a geared hub isnt so difficult to do yourself. But this is definitely a reliability concern.

[@Bsnowification]

I’ve only 600 miles on mine and I’m waiting on the 3rd replacement Bafang rear hub motor. The bearings keep wearing out. On my first motor the bearings wore out and the shaft snapped at 165 miles. The power cable to the hub motor used to enter through the center of the shaft therefore the shaft was hollow on one side, but the bearings should not be wearing out regardless. My only other real complaint with the bike itself is that the brakes are way too small and they too wear out quickly. Other than that, I love this bike! On the other hand, I’m not so happy with their service department. I purchased two bikes at the same time. I got the hyper scrambler 2 for me and the hyper scorpion for my girl. We love the bikes but our experience of the service department has been something less than competent. Not to mention they charge extravagant prices for replacement parts. They want $700 for a new 1000 watt bafang motor that I’m able to purchase myself through a different supplier for 250. They also wants $750 each for replacement batteries. The whole bike cost 2500 with two batteries. How can you justify 750 for one replacement battery??? I understand everybody is in business to make profit but this is ridiculous. I find it so offputting I will not purchase another one of their bikes!!!!!!!

[@Splices]

Nice review! I have the Ariel rider grizzly and the motors last longer due to one in the front and in the back so less stress on the gears, both 1000w. Only downside is its double the power usage using 2 motors. so, to take off, I'll use both motors, then when I get up to 30 mph or so, ill switch to rear motor only to maintain speed. I had the hyper 2 for a little bit but it always dragged ass in hilly seattle, hyper2 for sure lasts longer (gets more miles on a charge) with only having to use 1 single motor but I just hated being so slow on these hills! 6k miles and no problems. my v1 grizzly has 5k miles on it and my v2 has almost 6k, and my D class has 10k...same as you, I do food delivery.

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

It all depends in regard to these motors. My Hyper Scorpion has 7000 miles no problems that affect the power and starts every time. I also got a Scorpion X (for back up) and the motor blew at 400 miles. Juiced fixed it and sent it back with some goodies too. I hear the Super 73 RX motors blow. Ariel Ryder is having reports of their motors; seems the metal mixed with plastic for strength has issues due to- plastic and metal (heat) expanding differently. Honestly get the bike you like that fits. Then work it up with aftermarket upgrades, change out, adjustments etc. Build the build. You gotta like the bike when you get on it. It’s got to feel good when you ride.

[@actnreact1321]

glad to see this update man been waiting for this one i was going to mention do you think most local E bike shops can replace the motor for you like do you have to get bike shipped not really a handy man 😅

[@alamorides4485]

I've taken my bike to them, and they said no. They won't even touch it.

[@actnreact1321]

@@alamorides4485 yikes i guess ill try to see if my local bike shop will replace the motor if not i guess ill try to learn it im also using mine for deliveries and i def will be burning right through it considering ill be on that bike for 6 to 7 hours a day

[@BlueFaint305]

You get 50 to 60 mile range with just full throttle, right? No pedal assist at all? If you used pedal assist, do you believe you would you would have more mile range on it then? Thanks.

[@alamorides4485]

Yes, and yes.

[@BlueFaint305]

Hey so you gotta use Flat Out. It’s a tire sealant. It helps TREMENDOUSLY for preventing flats. Easiest 18 bucks you’ll spend on your bike

[@alamorides4485]

It makes a mess when you run over a nail. Then, you can't even patch the puncture on the spot.

[@actnreact1321]

Hey Alamo i just got my Hyper Scorpion perfect time for summer deliveries i have a question these 52 v batteries are ass even with pedal assist level 3 i only get like maybe 2hrs 30 minute ride i tend to switch back and forth between throttle pedal assist level 2 and 3. But my question is do you think a 72 volt battery might get me that so sweet 70 mile range im looking at one battery brand that KZbinr Uncle Fjester uses

[@Fuckl8fe]

How much do you weigh? Do you use dual batteries?

[@Steviewonderwhy]

There’s a closed out sale now $1999 is it worth it I wanna do DoorDash and Uber eats? Because there’s a newer model coming out summer time

[@hungrymatador213]

Great video man thanks for posting. How is it after it rains and the roads are wet, not handling-wise but the electronics and the motor?

[@alamorides4485]

I've been caught in downpours plenty of times. No problem

If I were to make KZbin vids this would be exactly how I would explain and show things, awesome vid

[@alamorides4485]

I tried to be straight forward. Thanks man!

[@aharbour]

you mentioned something about (3.40) the batteries lasting because you have the cycle satiator (I think). Can you explain?

[@alamorides4485]

It's a high-quality, customizable charger. I fast charge when need to, and trickle charge overnight to reduce heat.

[@hammerboycb]

Would you recommend this or the Ariel rider X Class, appreciate your video

[@alamorides4485]

My favorite bike is the x-class because it's zippy

[@TheOtaku031284]

Preordered the new Founder's Edition HyperScrambler 2, any way to move the brake light and blinkers further back on the rack; don't want em hidden under the bag I'm putting on it.

[@alamorides4485]

I believe there's some slack on the brake light assembly, that allows that.
