Juggernaut Ultra FS - Initial Impressions

[LS3Miata]

My Juggernaut Ultra FS arrived last night and I took it out for a short ride this morning and thought I would share some impressions.

• Time from order to receiving was only 9 days. This included sitting in customs over the weekend and Monday.
• The box arrived in excellent condition with no damage.
• Assembly took about 45 minutes and was very easy. I do need to find a manual for the rear damper as it is very soft, likely has no air in it. .
• The bike is big. I knew it was a 19" frame when ordering it and while it will be fine, a 17" frame would be a better fit for me at 5'9".
• The wheels and tires are slightly smaller than a conventional fatbike. The tires are 3.6" wide compared to a standard 3.8" wide. I will replace the Kendra's before winter comes as the tread would not be sufficient for snow riding. Hopefully a 3.8" tire will fit on the wheels.
• Took it for an initial short tide this morning on a paved trail. Just for kicks I wanted to see how fast it would go throttle only and it hit 29 MPH
• I'm hoping to hit a dirt trail this afternoon if the rain holds off.
• Overall my initial reaction to the bike is very positive I certainly enjoyed my ride this morning and I believe I will greatly enjoy this bike.

After I've put some miles on it I will post comparisons between riding the Juggernaut and my other ebike, a CCS.

Brief update - I took it off road this afternoon on some local single track trails. OMG, I can't stop grinning, that is where this thing shines. It is going to be so much fun in the snow this winter

Congrats ! It is a fun bike. I hit 33 yesterday into a wind. I have 3.5 inch Vtire speedsters inflated to 25 lbs, so that helps.

I'm very curious to hear your comparison. The Juiced is kind of the strongest contender against the Biktrix right now. The 52V 19ah is a pretty big draw for me towards Juiced

Can the rear bracket clear a 4.8" wheel?

My recommendations for biktrix

1. publish an actual geometry chart: see the big boys for examples: trek, specialized, giant, felt, etc.

2. offer different sizes. One size does not fit all.

3. continue to be responsive to your customers. it seems like you're doing a good job in this area.
