Juiced Bikes CityScrambler Summary
Juiced Bikes has been a standout in the e-bike world, especially during the pandemic, with their sales soaring to new heights. Finally, I’ve got my hands on the CityScrambler, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you.
First off, the CityScrambler is a Class 3 electric bike. You can hit speeds of up to 20 mph using the throttle, and up to 28 mph with pedal assist. It’s available in brushed aluminum, black, and red. There’s also a sibling bike called the Camp Scrambler, which is essentially the same but with knobby wheels for better off-road performance. The CityScrambler, on the other hand, features sleek Kenda Kraze slick tires, perfect for city commuting with some light off-road capability.
Juiced Bikes, led by the passionate Tora Harris, has been in the e-bike game since 2009. Their commitment to transparency and quality is evident from their extensive blog and product overview videos. They offer free shipping to the US and Canada, though their direct-to-consumer model means you can’t test ride before buying.
The CityScrambler is a one-size-fits-all bike, recommended for riders 5’4” and taller. At 6’3”, I found it a bit cramped but still enjoyable thanks to its powerful electrical system. The assembly is straightforward, with excellent tutorial videos provided by Juiced. The bike weighs in at a hefty 79.6 pounds, but the toolkit included is above average, making the process smoother.
The ride experience is comfortable with an upright seating position and high-rise handlebars. However, don’t expect full leg extension if you’re tall. The bike’s powerful electrical system compensates for any discomfort, making it a joy to ride even on longer trips. The frame is robust, with the brushed aluminum finish giving it a rugged yet sleek look. The mag wheels add to its sturdy feel, while still being surprisingly nimble.
The electrical system is a highlight, featuring a 52-volt, 13 amp-hour battery, with an optional upgrade to 19.2 amp-hours. This setup provides impressive range and power, capable of 20-25 miles on a full charge, depending on usage. The rear hub motor, a Bafang 750W, delivers great torque and acceleration, making city commuting a breeze. The controller is well-protected under the seat, and the overall design ensures durability and reliability.
The bike comes with a grayscale LCD display, offering various readouts including speed, battery level, and assist mode. It’s easy to navigate and provides a clear view of essential information. The hydraulic disc brakes by Tektro ensure excellent stopping power, crucial for a bike this heavy. The front suspension fork and fat tires add to the comfort, making the CityScrambler versatile for both city streets and light trails.
Overall, the Juiced Bikes CityScrambler is a fun, powerful, and versatile electric bike, perfect for urban commuting and weekend adventures. Its robust build, powerful electrical system, and comfortable ride make it a standout choice for e-bike enthusiasts.
