We compared the Roll-Road Shark 3.0 with the Juiced Scrambler Hardtail, Super73 ZX SE and S2 Laguna, Pedal Electric H/T and Electra Ponto Go! on power, battery, range, payload and price. See how a 1500W, 1040Wh e-bike starting at $1,599(Now on sale for $1,399)stacks up.
Moped-style e-bikes are having a moment in the U.S. – and if you are shopping one, you have probably seen the same names come up again and again: Super73, Juiced, Pedal Electric and Electra. So we put our Roll-Road Shark 3.0 side by side with five of the most popular alternatives and compared what actually matters: power, battery, range, payload, brakes, suspension and price.
We are proud of the Shark 3.0, so we will be upfront about where it wins. We will also be fair about what the others do well – they are good bikes, and every rider is different. Here is the honest, spec-by-spec look at the Shark 3.0 vs Juiced Scrambler Hardtail, Super73 ZX SE, Super73 S2 Laguna, Pedal Electric H/T and Electra Ponto Go!
Key Takeaways
- Most power: the Shark 3.0 runs a 1500W motor (2200W peak) – double or triple the 500W–750W motors on the other five bikes.
- Biggest battery: 1040Wh (52V 20Ah) – narrowly ahead of the Juiced Scrambler’s 998Wh, about 44% more than the Super73 ZX SE and 60% more than the Electra Ponto Go!
- Highest payload: 450 lbs, enough for two adults plus gear – the next best rating in this group is 360 lbs.
- Lowest price: from $1,599 (Now on sale for $1,399) – about $100 to nearly $1,400 less than the other five.
- Street-ready out of the box: ships limited to 20 mph (Class 2 speed setting). The 35 mph mode is for private property and off-road use only.

Specs and prices from each manufacturer’s product page, checked September 30, 2026 (Juiced Scrambler: October 29, 2026), and subject to change. Range figures are each brand’s own maximum claims under different test conditions. Wh per $1,000 uses the current selling prices shown (Shark 3.0 at its $1,599 everyday price). *Juiced Scrambler Hardtail load, weight and tire size are from third-party spec listings, and Pedal Electric H/T load and weight are from launch coverage; confirm on each manufacturer’s page.
Power and Performance: 1500W vs 500W–750W
Motor size is the biggest difference in this group. The Shark 3.0 uses a 1500W BAFANG SUTTO motor with a 2200W peak and 110 Nm of torque. The Juiced Scrambler Hardtail uses a 750W hub motor (1764W peak, 90 Nm), both Super73 models use a 500W nominal motor, and the Pedal Electric H/T and Electra Ponto Go! each use 750W.
What does that mean in daily riding? More reserve. Steep hills, a passenger, a loaded rear rack or a stop-light launch all ask a lot of a motor, and a bigger motor works with more headroom. Our Shark 3.0 is rated for a 30% grade.
All six bikes limit throttle speed to 20 mph out of the box, and the Juiced Scrambler can also be configured for Class 3 pedal assist up to 28 mph. For the Shark 3.0, 20 mph is the Class 2 setting most U.S. riders will use on streets and bike paths. On the Shark 3.0, the 35 mph mode is available for private property and off-road use only. See our riding rules section below.
Battery and Range: 1040Wh Leads the Group
| Bike | Battery | Claimed range | Removable battery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roll-Road Shark 3.0 | 1040Wh (52V 20Ah) | Up to 70 mi | Yes |
| Juiced Scrambler Hardtail | 998Wh (52V 19.2Ah) Dual-battery option available |
Up to 60 mi | Yes |
| Super73 ZX SE | 720Wh (48V 15Ah) | 35–45 mi | See manufacturer |
| Super73 S2 Laguna | 480Wh (48V 10Ah) | 25–35 mi | See manufacturer |
| Pedal Electric H/T | 768Wh | 40–60 mi | See manufacturer |
| Electra Ponto Go! | ~650Wh | Up to 60 mi | Yes, lockable |
The Shark 3.0 carries about 44% more battery than the ZX SE, about 35% more than the H/T, about 60% more than the Ponto Go! and roughly double the S2 Laguna. It is also slightly ahead of the Juiced Scrambler’s 998Wh pack; Juiced does sell a dual-battery Hardtail for riders who want a second pack at a higher price. The cells are EVE 21700 cells with full BMS protection. Because the pack is removable, you can charge it indoors without wheeling the bike inside.
Real-world range always depends on rider weight, speed, terrain, wind and assist level. Independent reviewers have noted that the Electra’s 60-mile claim is best case, and every brand’s number works the same way. The point is that a bigger battery gives you more margin, whatever your route looks like.
Suspension, Brakes and Control
Suspension
None of these six bikes has rear suspension – they are all hardtails or rigid-rear designs. Up front, the Shark 3.0 uses a motorcycle-style double-crown hydraulic fork with adjustable damping and a lockout, where most e-bikes use a single-crown spring fork. That is a real advantage on rough pavement, curbs and gravel. The Juiced Scrambler Hardtail has a good 140mm KKE inverted fork of its own. The Super73 ZX SE and Pedal Electric H/T both have adjustable front forks, the Electra has an 80mm coil-spring fork, and the S2 Laguna is fully rigid.
Braking
A heavier, more powerful bike needs serious stopping power. For 2026, the Shark 3.0 moved up to 203mm hydraulic disc rotors (from 180mm on the previous model). Every bike here has hydraulic discs. Juiced fits 4-piston calipers, which are excellent, and the Shark answers with a larger 203mm rotor for more leverage and heat capacity.
Visibility and controls
The Shark 3.0 includes a 2000-lumen headlight, turn signals, an integrated brake light and a horn. A center-axle torque sensor delivers pedal assist based on how hard you pedal, and a half-twist throttle, 5-second cruise control and a 4" color display with NFC unlock round out the cockpit. Both Super73 models list no horn, and the Electra includes turn signals but not a horn in its published spec.
Payload, Passengers and Comfort
| Bike | Max load | Weight | Passenger seating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roll-Road Shark 3.0 | 450 lbs | 75 lbs | 24" long seat, two adults |
| Juiced Scrambler Hardtail | 300 lbs* | ~83 lbs* | Single-rider saddle* |
| Super73 ZX SE | 325 lbs | 64 lbs | Single-rider focus |
| Super73 S2 Laguna | 325 lbs | 67 lbs | 2-up seat design |
| Pedal Electric H/T | 350 lbs* | ~60 lbs* | Large seat, two riders* |
| Electra Ponto Go! | 360 lbs | ~79–80 lbs | Bench seat, passenger pegs |
*From third-party spec listings or launch coverage; confirm on the manufacturer page.
The Shark 3.0 is not the lightest bike here – at 75 lbs, both Super73 models and the H/T weigh less, though it is lighter than the Juiced Scrambler (about 83 lbs) and the Electra. What you get for the extra weight is the highest load rating in the group (450 lbs, versus 300 lbs listed for the Juiced Scrambler Hardtail), a 24" dual-rider seat and the motor and battery to actually carry that weight. One of our customers, a 6’4", 225 lb rider, told us he rides with his girlfriend on the back with no problems.
“The Shark gets noticed everywhere I take it. I’ve had people stop at gas stations and ask what kind of bike it is.”

What the Other Five Do Well
A fair comparison means giving credit. Here is what each of these bikes does well.
Juiced Scrambler Hardtail
Flexible classes and a long warranty
The relaunched Juiced brand is backed by the team behind Lectric. The Scrambler Hardtail can be set up as Class 1, 2 or 3, has a 140mm inverted fork, 4-piston brakes, a PIN-protected parent speed limit, a 3-year warranty and an optional dual-battery version.
Super73 ZX SE
Brand and style
Super73 helped define the moto-style e-bike category. The ZX SE is light at 64 lbs, has adjustable front suspension and comes with the backing of the brand’s showrooms and service centers in Southern California.
Super73 S2 Laguna
Compact cruiser feel
The S2 Laguna is a lightweight, simple, good-looking coastal cruiser with wide BDGR tires and a quick 5-hour charge time. It is a solid short-trip, low-fuss bike.
Pedal Electric H/T
Light and easy to handle
The H/T is one of the lighter bikes in the category, comes in a range of colors, and its geometry is designed to suit shorter riders comfortably.
Electra Ponto Go!
Trek-backed dealer support
Electra is part of Trek, so you get a national dealer network for assembly and service, an 8-speed drivetrain and integrated turn signals.
If a brand-name showroom experience, a lighter frame or a longer warranty is your top priority, those bikes have real strengths. If you want more power, more battery, more capacity and a lower price, that is where the Shark 3.0 comes in.
