Juiced Bikes

We've seen a number of pedal-assist bikes over the years that ride a fine line between ebike and low-powered moto. The latest from California's Juiced Bikes is an absolute beast, and marks the company's entry into the folding bike space.

We've seen a number of ebikes that are more moto than bike, and when Juiced Bikes crowdfunded the Scrambler back in 2018, it was pitched as the "best electric motorbike on the market." Now that model has entered its second generation.

California's Juiced Bikes launched the first half ebike/half moped Scorpion back in 2019, and treated it to a performance upgrade in 2021. Now the company has returned to the off-road-capable X platform to boost the hub motor up to 1-kW.

California's Juiced Bikes, primarily known for its powerful ebike/moped rides, is laying the foundation for a new generation of riders with the launch of the BMX-styled fat-tire RipRacer ebike – a "fun-size" adventure model in two flavors.

Juiced Bikes has opened up its top commuter ebike to a broader range of riders with a new step-through version of its CrossCurrent X, decked out with practical extras and more accessible than ever before, at US$500 less than the original bike.

Back in 2018, California's Juiced Bikes launched "the ultimate fat-tire commuter ebike" in the shape of the RipCurrent S. Now the company has launched a sibling rocking a step-through frame to appeal to a wider pool of riders.

Juiced Bikes has updated 2019's Scorpion half ebike/half moped. The Scorpion X has been treated to a bigger battery, a geared hub motor that can be unlocked for off-road adventures, and both torque and cadence sensors for pedal assist.

Juiced has unleashed another high-powered ebike/e-moped/electric motorcycle, this time taking aim at range anxiety with not one, but two 52-volt, 19.2-Ah batteries. The HyperScrambler 2 can beat 100 miles easily and reach speeds over 30 mph.

One of the most interesting and exciting segments of the emerging ebike market is the rapidly blurring border between ebikes and mopeds, and the Hyperscorpion is decked out with a very motorcycle-like feature list. It wants to replace your car.
