These look like well-made mopeds. I recall reviews saying so as well. All their bikes have free shipping and the packaging looks like it would even stand up to United Parcel Smashers.

Here's what they have on sale right now. I'm weakening; might just throw one on the credit card...:

HyperScorpion Express (marketed for delivery riders) [LINK]
  • 1,000 W motor (they don't specify if that is continuous or peak; watch your local laws)
  • Big, sturdy rear rack; I love this!
  • Street tires
  • Fenders
  • Full lighting
  • 30+ mph (watch your local laws)
  • 52 V, 19.2 Ah Listed battery
  • On Closeout for $1,999 US
  • Cadence AND torque sensing PAS
  • "70 mile range" (maybe at 10 mph with me pedaling hard)
  • Looks like maybe they use proprietary batteries, and they're $800 to replace.

I had a Juiced Scorpion for about 8 months, very stout e-moped, everything seem built to last.
52V power output is very nice. The seating position is a bit short for me, just a bit heavy for my liking.
Sold it after 600 miles, it's a nice solid bike though.

Looks like great value but keep in mind this style of ebike is not designed for pedaling. Also I would be looking to see what cells their batteries are made with Samsung, LG are preferred.

How tall are you and what is your inseam? I'm curious if it would be tight for me as well, at 5'8 with a 30" inseam?
They advertise it's fine for up to 6'3, but I guess that assumes one is OK with bent knees and no pedaling?

Speaking of pedaling, is it pedal-able at all without power in the lowest gear, or is it mostly wasted?

How about in Limp Home Mode; were you going about 10 mph in low gear? Any climbing possible?

How is the inner thigh rubbing when pedaling? Will it chafe or does it narrow enough in the front of the saddle?

I'm 5'10", about 34" inseam.
The pedaling action on the Scorpion is is so much the problem, more how wide the seat nose is.
I got used to pedaling within an hour of riding it, but the weight of the Scorpion really demands the low gear to tackle the hills.
I don't mash the pedals with low rpm cadence, I try to keep my legs spinning at least 60-70 rpm on the hills.
The wide nose section of the seat just hinders to leg movement.
I guess if you are used to pedaling at lower cadence the wide nose may not be so much of an issue.
For me, I really feel the extra weigh of the Scorpion, only because it is built so tough, seems overkill for me.

The issue is the distance from the pedals and the angle. Does not make for efficient or comfortable pedaling. Most that but this style of e bike use them motor like a moped and use throttle more than pedals.

For me the Juiced Scorpion rear suspension was really over sprung.
Maybe because I didn't carry enough (cargo & rider) weight.
At 175 lb. fully dressed, I felt the ride was harsh & not much damping, maybe I should have ridden it with less tire pressure like 10-12 psi.
The tires on the Scorpion are really nice for the pavement though, quiet & fast rolling with plenty of traction when leaned over.

Before I sold the Scoprion, I did try changing the handbar position & raise the seat height.
Still wasn't quite enough to compensate for the harsh suspension.
