I discovered the battery had heated up on its own while bike was parked in my garage (too hot to touch without gloves), I moved it outside just in case it caught fire. After it cooled down, the battery would no longer hold charge.
Juiced has been around for a while and their founder posts pretty interesting videos on the development of the bikes—way better than a typical D2C brand.
This is an insane price. E-bike prices are really dropping.

are there any smoother and thinner tires i can put on these? i just don't need the fat tires and they would just be a huge inefficiency.

When I was mountain biking, nobody used fat tires. They add so much rolling resistance. The only people I knew who used them, were hard-core cyclists who rode in the snow.
Are they actually desirable on ebikes? Or are they not, which is why we keep seeing them on sale?
I googled this question, and found 1,000s of click-bait articles talking about how fat tires are better. But they all acknowledge the downsides of them weighing much more, creating more resistance, and being harder to fit on a bike rack.
*edit*
I looked at the instruction manual for this bike, and it explicitly says not to ride the bike off road, or on sand.
I'm sure its just for liability reasons, but I find it pretty funny. Because that would be what the fire tires would help you with.

I'm an avid cyclist and even I, at top speed of ~30-40mph, feel a little sketchy on just MTB wheels.
It just doesn't seem like fat tires are doing anything for you, unless you want to ride it on soft sand or snow. Which I don't think most people will do.
Really good price on a 52V setup, Bafang motor. I have no experience with this brand, however people seem happy.
Really a great deal at this price. If you need a 2nd battery, just order a 2nd bike.

They do also refer to them as "big pillows", which I'm sure some people will appreciate.
*edit* typo
But the RipCurrent has a more powerful motor, bigger battery and a torque sensor. I think the 26" tires (vs. 20" on the Lectric) would ride better, but I'm not sure. The Lectric weights six pounds less but it currently costs $200 more.
