Amped Cycle Review
This Is Peak E-Moped
The Juiced Scrambler is not the fastest bike for the money—not even close—but the combination of KKE air suspension, 4.5-inch tires, excellent four-piston brakes, a polished 52V powertrain, and genuinely impressive build quality makes this feel like a huge step above most budget e-bikes we test.
Overview
Juiced is back, and its first new bike is the Scrambler.
That name might sound familiar because Juiced was one of the earlier brands in the American e-bike market. The original company disappeared in 2024, but the brand was later acquired and relaunched, with the new Scrambler becoming its first bike under the revived company.
And thankfully, this does not feel like somebody bought an old brand name and slapped it onto a generic bike from Alibaba.
The new Scrambler feels like it was actually designed from the ground up.
I tested the full-suspension Scrambler FS, and it quickly became one of my favorite moped-style e-bikes. Juiced gives it a 750W nominal / 1,764W peak rear hub motor, a 52V 19.2Ah battery, KKE front and rear suspension, Talon four-piston hydraulic brakes, an integrated TFT display, fat 20×4.5-inch tires, and a nicely finished aluminum frame. The full-suspension version currently sells for $1,899.
If the only numbers that matter are watts and top speed, that price probably sounds crazy.
There are $800 e-bikes that are faster.
There are $1,500 e-bikes that are way faster.
But after spending some real time on the Scrambler, I understand where the extra money went.

Performance: Motor and Speed
The Scrambler uses a 750W nominal rear hub motor capable of 1,764W peak power and 90 Nm of torque, paired with a 30-amp peak controller.
Those numbers sound fairly serious, but Juiced keeps this bike aggressively legal.
The thumb throttle is limited to 20 mph, while pedal assist can bring the bike up to 28 mph. The display allows the Scrambler to be configured as a Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 e-bike.
During my GPS test, it backed up the speed claim. With pedal assist, I got the Scrambler to a true 28 mph, occasionally seeing about 29 mph under the right conditions.
The speedometer was also impressively accurate.
Acceleration is strong enough to feel fun, but this is definitely not a bike that is trying to rip the handlebars out of my hands. Everything is smooth and controlled.
The Scrambler feels best cruising somewhere between 20 and 28 mph. The motor is quiet, the chassis is planted, the tires feel glued to the pavement, and everything feels incredibly composed.
But there is no hiding the fact that the bike is hardware locked to 28mph.
It feels like the motor wants more. The chassis definitely wants more. The brakes could handle more. The suspension could handle more.
The whole bike is basically standing there tapping its foot waiting for Juiced to let it have some fun.
It looks like the only way to unlock the true potential of this bike, is to upgrade the controller, making a pricy bike more expensive.
Battery: Specs and Range
The Scrambler FS uses a 52V 19.2Ah battery, giving it just under 1,000Wh of capacity.
Juiced claims up to 60 miles of range on the single-battery version. The hardtail Scrambler can also be configured with dual batteries for a combined 38.4Ah and a claimed maximum range of 120 miles, but the full-suspension model I tested uses the single 19.2Ah pack.
The battery is hidden underneath the seat, which is one of my favorite parts of the design.
Undo the seat fastener, lift the entire seat upward, and there is the battery sitting neatly inside the frame. The controller is also right there, easy to access.
It looks clean and makes the Scrambler feel much more purpose-built than a bike with a giant battery bolted onto the outside of the downtube.
Real-world battery performance was excellent during my testing.
I put around 18 miles on the bike without recharging it and still had approximately 70% battery remaining according to the display.
That included off-road riding and basically riding the bike as fast as the bike would let me.
Battery gauges are not perfectly linear, so I would not extrapolate that directly into an exact range number, but it certainly makes Juiced’s 60-mile best-case claim seem more believable than a lot of the ridiculous range numbers I see advertised on cheaper bikes.
That restriction might be annoying for performance, but it definitely helps range.

Comfort and Build Quality
This is the part where the Scrambler doesn’t just separate itself from the cheaper moped-style bikes, it creates a grand canyon wide chasm.
The suspension is ridiculously good.
Up front, Juiced uses a KKE inverted air fork with 140mm of travel, paired with a KKE rear shock on the full-suspension model.
KKE makes suspension components used in the e-moto world, and immediately this setup feels different from the generic coil forks found on a lot of $600–$1,000 e-bikes.
The front air suspension was a game changer for me.
I’ve tested plenty of bikes with air shocks in the rear, but having a proper air fork up front gives the Scrambler an incredibly smooth, responsive ride.
On rough grass, bumps, trails, and broken pavement, it almost feels like the bike is floating.
I ride the same off-road test area all the time, so I know exactly where all the rough sections are. On the Scrambler, a lot of them practically disappeared.
The big 20×4.5-inch CST BFT ADV tires help too. They’re wider than the standard 20×4 tires found on most fat-tire e-bikes, giving the bike a huge contact patch and another layer of cushioning.
On pavement, those tires feel planted. The Scrambler corners confidently and feels very stable without becoming difficult to maneuver.
The full-suspension bike weighs 85 pounds, which is actually reasonable for a moped-style e-bike with this much hardware. The aluminum frame helps keep the weight under control, and the lower center of gravity makes it feel surprisingly agile.
This is one of those bikes I found myself wanting to ride even when I had plenty of others sitting around.
Other Unique Features
Integrated TFT Display
Instead of sticking the display on top of the handlebars where it can get smashed during a crash, Juiced integrates the TFT screen directly into the frame.
I really like this setup.
It looks clean, keeps the cockpit uncluttered, and protects one of the more expensive electronic components on the bike.
The display also gives access to the bike’s class settings and parental controls.
Parent Mode
A four-digit PIN can lock the maximum speed anywhere from 1 to 28 mph, making it possible to limit the bike for a younger or less experienced rider without having to physically modify anything.
That is a genuinely useful feature considering how many younger riders are getting moped-style e-bikes right now.
Switchable Torque and Cadence Sensing
Another interesting feature is the ability to switch between torque-sensor and cadence-sensor behavior.
That gives the rider some control over how pedal assist feels.
A torque sensor gives a more natural response based on how hard the pedals are being pushed, while cadence sensing gives more traditional on/off-style assistance.
Pedaling itself is still not the Scrambler’s strongest feature. The seat height is fixed, the cranks are fairly short, and the bike uses a single-speed drivetrain.
It can be pedaled, but nobody is confusing this thing with a road bike.
Talon Four-Piston Hydraulic Brakes
The brakes might actually be excessive for a 28 mph bike.
Juiced uses Talon four-piston hydraulic brakes, and during my braking test they were phenomenal.
They stop the bike extremely hard with very little lever effort.
These brakes feel like they could comfortably handle a much faster bike, which is good news for anyone already looking at that controller under the seat and having questionable thoughts.
Full Lighting Package
Juiced also includes a front headlight, rear tail/brake light, and turn signals.
That makes the Scrambler feel much more complete for riding around town compared with stripped-down moped-style bikes that make the rider add basic safety equipment afterward.
Large Two-Person-Style Seat
The seat is big, thick, and significantly nicer than the typical cheap bench seat.
There are also mounting points in the frame where passenger foot pegs could potentially go.
The seat itself flips upward to expose the battery and controller, which is one of those details that feels obvious once someone finally does it correctly.
5-Amp Charger
Juiced includes a 5A charger, which is another nice premium touch.
A lot of cheaper bikes with batteries this size still come with slow 2A chargers.
Negatives
The most obvious downside is the speed restriction.
I completely understand why Juiced did it. The company is positioning this as a legitimately class-compliant e-bike at a time when cities and states are cracking down hard on high-powered e-motos.
But the frustrating part is how clearly capable the bike feels of doing more.
The motor is powerful.
The brakes are excellent.
The KKE suspension is excellent.
The chassis is stable.
Everything about the Scrambler feels like it could comfortably handle speeds beyond 28 mph.
An optional off-road mode, possibly even hidden behind a legal agreement, would make this bike dramatically more appealing to performance-focused riders.
There were also a couple of quality-control issues on my specific test bike.
The rear brake hose arrived pinched, almost like a garden hose folded over on itself. I was able to straighten it out and the brake worked normally afterward, but I contacted Juiced because I would still want that line replaced long-term.
The thumb throttle was also loose, even after tightening it as much as possible.
More annoyingly, the throttle occasionally cut out while riding. That could simply be an issue with the particular throttle on my test bike, but it is something I would want replaced.
Those problems did not change my overall opinion of the bike, but they are still worth mentioning—especially on something costing nearly $2,000.
The last downside is simply price.
If the goal is maximum speed per dollar, the Scrambler makes no sense for you.
There are much cheaper bikes that will destroy it in a drag race.
But that comparison also misses what the Scrambler does well.

Final Thoughts
The Juiced Scrambler has kind of ruined moped-style e-bikes for me.
For years, I focused heavily on value. If one bike cost $900 and went 35 mph while another cost $1,800 and only went 28, the $900 bike seemed like the obvious winner.
After riding more expensive bikes like this, I understand the other side of that argument.
Speed is not everything.
The Scrambler’s suspension is better. The brakes are better. The tires feel better. The frame feels better. The integrated display looks better. The cable management is better. Even little things like the grips, seat design, battery placement, and 5A charger make the whole bike feel more polished.
It feels like an actual product rather than a collection of parts.
And that matters.
Would I like it even more if Juiced gave me an off-road mode and let this thing run past 28 mph?
Absolutely.
Please, Juiced. I know that controller is sitting underneath the seat for a reason.
But even with the speed restriction, this has become one of my favorite e-bikes I’ve tested. Every time I had the choice of what bike to take out, I kept finding myself grabbing the Scrambler.
That’s probably the biggest compliment I can give it.
If maximum speed per dollar is all that matters, buy something else.
But if the priority is ride quality, build quality, comfort, stability, safety equipment, range, and a bike that feels genuinely refined, the Juiced Scrambler FS is one of the best moped-style e-bikes I’ve ridden.
