Juiced Bikes CityScrambler Review Summary

The Juiced Bikes CityScrambler is a powerful, Class 3 electric bike that caters to those who love a robust and thrilling ride. With a throttle that supports speeds of up to 20 mph and a pedal-assist feature that can get you up to 28 mph, this e-bike is built for zipping through city streets with style. It’s available in brushed aluminum, black, and red, offering versatility to match your preferred aesthetic. Additionally, there’s the option between the City and Camp Scrambler versions. The CityScrambler comes equipped with Kenda Kraze slick tires for urban riding, while the Camp model offers knobby tires designed for off-road trails.

Juiced Bikes is a well-regarded name in the e-bike industry, having been around since 2009. They prioritize quality and accessibility, focusing on a direct-to-consumer model that provides free shipping to the U.S. and Canada. But since you won’t find them in stores, assembly is required when your CityScrambler arrives. The bike is heavy—79.6 pounds—so make sure you’re ready for some lifting, especially during the setup. However, the assembly is straightforward, with high-quality tools and detailed tutorial videos provided by Juiced.

The bike has a unique frame design similar to mini-motorbikes, featuring a banana seat, high-rise handlebars, and a comfortable upright riding position. This setup is ideal for riders who prefer the electric powertrain to human pedaling. Riders 5’4″ and above will find it comfortable, though taller individuals may feel slightly cramped. The frame is rugged, with a stylish brushed aluminum finish, and the cast alloy mag wheels give the CityScrambler an edgy, modern look.

In terms of power, the CityScrambler boasts a 52V 13Ah battery, capable of delivering 20-25 miles of range in higher power settings. For those seeking extended range, Juiced offers a 19.2Ah upgrade, but be prepared for a $500 price tag. The bike’s motor—a Bafang rear hub motor with 750 watts of continuous power and peaks around 1000 watts—can handle steep inclines and offers excellent torque. The 80Nm of torque ensures quick acceleration, and the bike feels nimble despite its weight.

Safety is a top priority, with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that provide dependable stopping power. The CityScrambler’s brake levers are also equipped with motor inhibitors, cutting power when applied. With a high-quality display showing battery status, speed, and more, Juiced Bikes’ digital interface is informative and easy to use. Additionally, the CityScrambler includes a bright headlight and a non-integrated taillight, though you’ll have to turn the latter on manually.

In summary, the Juiced Bikes CityScrambler is perfect for riders who love speed, power, and style. While it may be a bit challenging for complete bike novices, its features and performance make it an exciting choice for both daily commuting and urban adventures.
