    Hyperscorpion/Hyperscrambler-2 Reliability - Anyone Over 5,000 Miles?

    No, no problems. Discoloring of the paint, yes.

    Hyperscorpion/Hyperscrambler-2 Reliability - Anyone Over 5,000 Miles?

    I have now 10,500+ miles on my HyperScorpion (arrived in Sept 2020) and finally the motor is... I don't know what it is. Makes a lot of noise. Bearings shot? See video. Around 5,000 miles my battery overheated the contacts. Break-pads need to be replaced regularly - every 300 miles probably...

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    Niiice! Thank you finding this tire. I'll order it the next time. I never understood the fat tire stuff. I tried riding in the desert sand here once and it was very strenuous, with quite less control over the steering (maybe thinner tires are worse, possibly). Anyways.., it's an environmental...

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    Good tip! Here's a Kenda Kraze https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/kenda-kraze-20-x-4-25-tire but for now it's sold out. Why do you think it is better than a Juiced provided tire?

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    Hmmm... wishful thinking on my part looks like. I stand corrected. Now I'm getting closer to buy a Tuffy... [here's another rib...] Thanks!

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    Yes interesting indeed! I'm gonna stick with Juiced's tires for now and the above mentioned reinforcements (I actually changed my mind about the Mr. Tuffy because it is quite expensive and the Juiced tire already has that kind of protection. The main experiment, step 1, will be testing the...

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    Yes, I found out that there are no 20'' motorcycle or scooter tires!.. The right size would be a 120/80-20 but so far no luck. Alternatively, I ordered new tires through Juiced Bikes, and also will get extra protection from the inside. It will be an experiment. For the rear I will use a Tannus...

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    After 7,000+ miles (in one year...) I need to replace the HyperScorpion tires. With so much mileage, I've had quite a few punctures of course. I read somewhere that we could use motorcycle tires (heavier but possible with the 1,000 W motor and 52V/19A battery) which should be more puncture...

    HyperScorpion display: screws and then some

    Great ones! One of the screws holding the display on my HyperScorpion fell out. Two questions: 1. Trying to tight the remaining one, but can't figure the right hexa screwdriver I need. Whatever size I try, it does not seem to sync up nicely. Could be my lousy mechanic skills... but nevertheless...

    Display menu HyperScorpion

    Yes Bruce, thanks, found it here. It's a bit old. Was hoping for a sheet. There was a PDF on their website but the link says that the owner has put the file in the trash (hahaha). Too bad the trip meter is cumbersome to get to. Should be right there, easily accessible instead of going into the...

    Is there an explainer of the (deep) display menu for the HyperScorpion? What it all means? Thanks! D-J from Los Angeles

    Experiences with ebike insurance

    What a great, happy story! Can you share the company through which you had the renter's policy?

    Good to know indeed, and like to acknowledge your thoroughness. Hope you don't need it!.. And hopefully you have their confirmation in writing as well!

    Thanks for the sharing of your experiences! Hope your leg is healing well! (thanks for the reminder to be extra careful on those fast machines...)

    Experiences with ebike insurance

    Waiting for my Juiced HyperScorpion to arrive and considering ebike insurance. I'd like to tap into the collective wisdom of those here who actually had to deal with an insurance claim. I'm not asking for company names in order to get a quote. Nope, real-time, real-life experiences with 'them'...
