M2S All-Terrain R750 vs Juiced RipCurrent S

[Sojourn7ers]

Looking for some thoughts on a bit of a conundrum I keep coming back to.

I am currently shopping for an eBike to become my main mode of commuting daily. Here's a breakdown of my route and needs:

- 36 miles round trip
- Mostly flat (central Indiana)
- Mixed route conditions including country roads with no shoulder/bike lanes, surface streets with dedicated bike lanes, pedestrian/bike trails

I have narrowed my search down to two models that seem to be a good balance of price and power/features: the M2S All-Terrain R750 and the Juiced RipCurrent S. My dilemma is this: for the price of the RCS with the 52v 19.2ah battery I could get the R750 with the included 48v 16ah and also purchase the 48v 21ah as a second battery. Is the Juiced worth that much more than the M2S even though the specs seem pretty similar?

Thanks!

Looks like the M2S doesn't have a torque sensor. Consider that among other things.

In doing all of your research you probably already know that the current M2S R750s are being discounted as an 'improved' model is coming?

With that said, the R750 in its current configuration seems to be pretty darned good bike (from the specs and reviews at least). And the new model won't be available until at least May (initial target date, now likely later due to Coronavirus caused supplier shutdowns?)

Seems like a current R750, if they have the size you need in stock and you feel it meets your needs, and being ~$1,000 cheaper than a RCS, might be a viable first bike option. If it doesn't end up working out for your commute needs, it will be a great fun/recreation bike. And in the mean time you will get first hand experience as to what you really want/need for your daily commuter bike.

Anyway, whereas many folks probably aren't much like me, I feel that having only one ebike isn't nearly as much fun as having a couple/few of them...

The M2S comes in a full suspension model for the same price. It's a very good deal. Rack will be fender.

I'm looking at these same bikes. I would add the Surface 604 bikes to the short list as they seem to have similar features and value. I agree with what someone posted above that torque sensing would be desirable and should be attainable at these price points.

the Juiced is going to out perform M2s for sure, it has the "high speed" wind Bafang 750 combined with the 52v 19ah battery pack,much cooler bike imo but it cost nearly a grand more, i dont know if its that much cooler? for $2500 you could buy a Biktrix juggernaut Classic with a 48v14Ah battery plus a spare 48v 14ah battery for $2500,just sayin

I ordered an AT 750 in February, also.
My only regret was not getting a second battery.
I usually get about 45 miles from the 48v 16ah battery.
What did you end up getting?
