Where each one wins

The Juiced RipCurrent S does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Juiced CrossCurrent X is the one to justify not buying.

Who each one is for

Juiced CrossCurrent X

Suits you if you want:

fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
rated to 136 kg of rider and luggage together
about 59 km estimated, which covers a 29 km each-way commute

What it asks in return:

40 Nm of torque, so long climbs will ask for your legs
fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places

Juiced RipCurrent S

Suits you if you want:

fast class, which keeps up with city traffic
rated to 136 kg of rider and luggage together
about 47 km estimated, which covers a 23 km each-way commute

What it asks in return:

40 Nm of torque, so long climbs will ask for your legs
fast class, so it is registered and helmeted in most places

Each line above is read straight from the specification: torque, weight, payload, battery and our range estimate. Nothing here is a preference, and neither bike is being recommended over the other.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Juiced CrossCurrent X costs about 280 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Juiced CrossCurrent X covers about 43,253 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Juiced RipCurrent S, about 43,253 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Five years at 3,000 km a year, from the constants published on our methodology page. Resale is subtracted, which is why it shows as a negative.
Over five years	Juiced CrossCurrent X	Juiced RipCurrent S
Purchase price	$1,999	$2,399
Charging	$68	$68
Servicing	$648	$648
Battery replacement
Resale value	$-488	$-585
Total	$2,227	$2,529

Which one to buy

Pick the Juiced CrossCurrent X if you ride to the edge of the battery and dislike planning around it.
Pick the Juiced CrossCurrent X if the five-year total is what you are optimising.

Verdict

On the measured axes the Juiced CrossCurrent X is the better buy, and the Juiced RipCurrent S needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.

Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
