About Juiced Bikes

The Juiced bicycles range comprises 11 bikes split into four categories:

• RipCurrent – 26 x 4″
• CrossCurrent – 28 x 1.75″
  
• Scorpion – 20 x 4″
• Scrambler – 20 x 4″ / 4.25″

Each category serves a unique discipline or use-case, like fat-tire bikes for off-road riding, compact bikes for short trips, or commuter bikes for work trips. In this way, they appeal to a wide range of recreational and functional riders, although they don’t make sports models for pro riders.

All the bikes are Class 3 e-bikes, able to reach a max speed of at least 28mph, with some models going even faster. Prices range from around $1,500 for entry-level models up to $3,000 for the most expensive, making them fairly average-priced within the e-bike market.

What Makes Juiced Bikes Unique?

• Large 52V batteries
• Powerful motors (Up to 1,000W)
• Up to 30+ assisted speed
• Wide variety of accessories
• Designed and engineered in the USA

Juiced ebikes stick out from the competition due to their higher speeds and longer battery ranges.

With 52V batteries, most Juiced ebikes can cover around 60 miles (96km) on a single charge, with the longest range bikes hitting 100 miles (160km). Their powerful Bafang motors range between 750W and 1,000W – considerably higher than the standard 250W motors found on most electric bikes.

This means they not only go faster but climb hills easier, even when heavily loaded. Juiced Bikes come in a broad range of colors with a wide selection of optional accessories, all designed and engineered in the USA. Unlike many other e-bikes, Juiced bikes all come with acceleration throttles, large headlamps, and advanced LCD displays.

Juiced Bikes – Who Should Get One?

With an extensive selection of sizes, designs, and frame options available, Juiced ebikes are ideal for people of all ages and lifestyle types. From recreational weekend riders to commercial users and work commuters, there’s a Juiced bike for everyone!

Shop owners and delivery staff will find the cargo bikes especially useful, while adventurous souls will appreciate the thick tires on the off-road models.

Juiced CrossCurrent X & CrossCurrent X Sep-Through

3 color options for CrossCurrent X

The Juiced CrossCurrent X is the upgraded model, featuring a larger battery with an 80 mile (128km) range so you can go that extra distance. This makes the bike slightly heavier than the standard CrossCurrent model but is otherwise exactly the same.

The CrossCurrent X Step-through has all the same features as the standard CrossCurrent but is heavier, at 67 lbs (30kg). This is likely due to thicker frame material to accommodate the lack of a top tube. This bike is ideal for women or shorter riders who prefer an easier way to mount the bike.

CrossCurrent X vs CrossCurrent S2

Juiced RipCurrent

• Class 3 eBike – 28mph
• 750W Bafang Geared Hub Motor
• 780Wh Battery
• Range: 45+ Miles
• Weight: 70 lbs
• Max Payload: 275 lbs

The RipCurrent from Juiced bikes is a tough-looking beast that resembles a hardtail MTB, complete with fat tires and front suspension. Add a 9-speed drivetrain and hydro disc brakes and it’s a truly impressive machine for the price, coming in at just under $2,000.

As a Class 3 ebike with a 750W motor and 780Wh battery, it bears many similarities to the CrossCurrent but with larger, off-road tires. Unfortunately, these tires bring the overall weight up to 70lbs (31kg), reducing the range to only 45 miles (72km) on average. However, if you want to hit the trails and dirt tracks through mountains and forests, this is a small price to pay.

Price: $1,799

Juiced RipCurrent S & RipCurrent S Step-Through

Juiced bikes’ RipCurrent S model powers in with an upgraded 994Wh battery, giving you an extra 25 miles of battery range. This equates to a full 70 miles (112km) of riding on a single charge while only adding 6 lbs (2.7kg) of weight – so it’s definitely worth it.

All the other killer Juiced bikes features are there, like rear rack and fenders, advanced LCD display, hydraulic disc brakes, and the convenient thumb throttle. Yes, the RipCurrent S is quite a bit more expensive than the standard model but if you love getting out into nature, it sure does give bang for your buck!

Juiced Scorpion X

• Class 3 eBike – 28mph
• 750W RetroBlade Geared Hub Motor
• 780Wh Battery
• Range: 55+ Miles
• Weight: 100 lbs
• Max Payload: 275 lbs

The Scorpion eBike from Juiced is a cool-looking vehicle, resembling a nifty little moped – only without the annoying noise and fumes. The X model is the smaller of the two, with a 750W Retroblade motor and a battery that delivers about 55 miles (88km) on one charge.

Two funky additions are the rear suspension twist throttle, making it feel like you’re riding a real motorbike – albeit one limited to 28mph (45km/h). However, this does all add a bit of weight, making the Scorpion one of the heaviest e-bikes on the market at a full 100lbs (45kg).

MSRP: $2,199

Juiced HyperScorpion

Moped-style e-bike

If you think the Scorpion X is cool, this tower of power will really get your motor going. This upgraded Juiced Scorpion eBike has a massive 1000W motor, capable of hitting speeds above 30mph (48km/h). Add to that a larger 19.2Ah battery and you can zoom along for a full 70 miles (112km) on a single charge.

Juiced HyperScorpion is the big daddy of electric bikes and it really does feel like you’re on a motorbike. It comes with brake lights, turn signals, rearview mirrors, a horn and a key ignition. Of course, this does mean it lacks the true feeling of a bicycle, so it might not appeal to traditional cyclists with fitness in mind.

Juiced HyperScorpion Express

Electric delivery bike

The Express version is a mild upgrade of the HyperScorpion, with an added wide rack on the back specifically designed for making deliveries. Other than that, it has all the same features: 1000W motor, 70+ mile range, dual suspension, and all the bells and whistles.

The Express really does feel a lot like a moped bike, especially with a rear box or bag attached full of pizzas, packages, or groceries. If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly, fuel-free electric delivery bike, this is the perfect solution.

Juiced Bikes Scrambler

Stylish electric moped bike

• Class 3 eBike – 28mph
• 750W Bafang Geared Hub Motor
• 676 / 780Wh Battery
• Range: 45+ Miles
• Weight: 78 lbs (City) / 71.5 lbs (Camp)
• Max Payload: 275 lbs

The Scrambler is another moped-like bike in the Juiced series, with a compact frame, dual suspension, 20″ wheels, and comfy 4.25″ tires. It has a 750W motor and 780Wh battery, delivering a 45+ mile (72km) range. The Scrambler can be ordered in two different versions – the Camp and the City.

The Juiced Camp Scrambler has spoked wheels and thick-treaded knobbly tires for off-road riding, while the City Scrambler has mag wheels and smooth, fast tires for pavement and tarmac. They have a max speed of 28mph and include a twist throttle, headlamp, horn and tail light.

MSRP: from $1,799

Juiced HyperScrambler 2

The HyperScrambler 2 is a pimped-out upgrade of the Scrambler, with two batteries so you can go a full 100 miles (160km) without having to recharge! This is probably the longest range you’ll find on any e-bike, as most go only 50 miles or less.

In addition, the powerful 1000W motor can go above 30 mph (48km/h) so you’ll plow through those 100 miles in no time. Naturally, this pseudo-motorbike is the most expensive and heaviest of the Juiced bikes range, at a hefty 119lbs (54kg).

Scrambler vs HyperScambler

Choosing between the Scrambler and HyperScrambler really just depends on your needs. If you’re looking for a real motorbike experience, the Hyper will give you that extra oomf but you may not be able to use it legally on some city streets. If you’re just riding around town you might find the standard Scrambler is more than enough.

Price: from $2,999
