Juiced RipCurrent S vs Juiced RipRacer
The Juiced RipCurrent S and the Juiced RipRacer are close enough that no single figure decides it. The table below shows every axis, and the differences that are inside the margin are marked as ties rather than dressed up as wins.
Range is our estimate under the reference ride, not the manufacturer's claim. Cost is over 5 years at 3,000 km a year, on the same formula the cost-of-ownership calculator runs. How we work this out

Where each one wins
Nothing separates the Juiced RipCurrent S and the Juiced RipRacer by more than the margin on our own estimate. On the numbers, this is one bike sold under two names.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the Juiced RipRacer costs about 630 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 RipCurrent S covers about 43,253 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Juiced RipRacer, about 43,253 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
On the measured axes the Juiced RipRacer 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.
