First Impression

RadRunner Plus looks like a classic moped from the 70s. This retro-designed eBike comes with a cushioned passenger rack, a LED halo headlight and an LCD display. RadRunner plus has a stand-over height of 16.5″

Scorpian X by Juiced Bikes also features a moped look with a 2000lumen headlight and rear rack compatible for mounting cargo. You will need to purchase a passenger kit separately.

Physical Features

	RadRunner Plus	Scorpian X
Type	Utility eBike	Utility eBike
Frame	Aluminum	Aluminum
Brakes	180 mm front and rear	180 mm front/160mm rear Hydraulic Disc

Gear	7-speed gear	Shimona 8-speed gear
PayLoad	300lbs	275lbs
Tire Size (inches)	20 x 3.3	20 x 4.25

Both these e-bikes are designed for a ride in town and country without worrying about uneven terrain. Rad Runner Plus sports a 7speed drivetrain with dual disc breaks and weighs 74.3 pounds.

Scorpian on the other side has an 8speed Shimona freewheel for easier pedaling. It has wider tires which will make a ride on uneven terrains slightly easier but suffers on payload capacity and weight compared to RadRunner.

If you are the person staying in an apartment, then weight plays a major role in carrying the eBikes around.

Technical Features

Have a look at the technical comparison between the two electric bikes

	RadRunner Plus	Scorpian X
Battery	48V 14Ah Lithium-Ion	52V / 15.0 Ah
Motor	750W Geared Hub	750W Geared Hub
Max Speed	20mph	20-28mph
Mileage	~45miles	55 miles
Torque	80nm	85nm

Although the Motor capacity is the same, Scorpian X has a slightly bigger battery capacity. This is actually an improvement from their previous Scorpian model. According to Juiced Bikes, this slight increase in battery will provide +15% extra rage over the traditional 48V/14Ah battery.

Having a bigger battery is an advantage as it not only increases the range but also provides more power and hence better pull/speed. On the downside, the weight considerably increases with bigger batteries.

RadRunner Plus vs Scorpian X: Which one to consider?

So the major difference between both these eBikes is the battery. With a bigger battery, Scorpian X provides better range, speed and power at the cost of weight. You are losing a passenger rack cushion and the cost difference is $400.

Buy RadRunner Plus, If:

• Living in an apartment

Buy Scorpian X, If:

• Want a bigger battery
