Juiced Bikes CityScrambler Review - $1.8k
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- The CityScrambler is a powerful electric minibike designed for urban environments, cast-alloy wheels and slick tires provide great stability and rolling efficiency, compact design is eye-catching and comfortable but yields a subpar pedaling experience. Custom-designed 52-volt battery platform provides high capacity and long battery life, rear hub motor from Bafang provides great torque and satisfying performance, easily capable of Class 3 speeds but this will eat the battery fairly quickly. Shimano Revoshift paired with the Tourney derailleur is a basic setup with limited gearing range but it gets the job done, both front/rear lights are powerful but the taillight is independent and requires AAA batteries, great side visibility with reflective sidewall striping and wheel arms. Excellent stopping power from Tektro's hydraulic disc brakes, large banana seat is comfortable and pairs well with the high-rise swept-back handlebars, only available in one size but at a great price point of $1799 with free shipping in the contiguous United States. We purchased two Juiced Bikes for review and they gave us two for free to review. This is one that we purchased, based on strong demand from commenters here and in the EBR Forums :)

Excellent review. The link in the description is broken FYI.
@@EPSTomcat11 Thanks for the heads up! Fixed now :)
Any plans to review the Daymak Florence FT? I'm looking to get one in the near future and there are no reviews that I can find online. TIA!
I've not regretted buying one of these. I'm at about 1000 miles.
Sweet! Glad to hear it’s holding up for you :D
Does your butt feel sore after a long commute?
Me too. At 1000 as well. Had 1 flat on the back tire around 980 miles. I love the bike. Have the camp scrambler.
90s Limit 1 yes. lol
@@SUNKAPRODUCTIONS what was your tire repair experience like for you?
Wow so far ur the only one reviewer that rides motorcycle as well. Like you, I've had 8 motorcycles (Triumph Daytona 675 and 900 Thruxton Cafe Racer, Vrod, Yamaha FFZ6 and Kawi 600, Ducati 700 Monster...and actually starter out with Ninja 250). I no longer ride as I had a near fatal accident that put a rod on my Tibia and ruptured my PCL. I still would love to ride a motor bike but made a promise to the wife. So I'm researching for e-bike that would allow me to exercise but also have a little feeling of riding a motorcycle, Thanks for the review.
Sorry to hear about your accident! Yes, since I have motorcycle experience I get to try review all the more powerful ebikes we cover... I enjoy it! You might like checking out the HyperScorpion, very motorcycle feeling and it has all the lights and blinkers and mirrors for riding safely.
I just bought one earlier in the week. Tracking says I’ll get it Tuesday. I got the 19ah upgrade. The longest trip I’ll have to take is 10 miles. I plan on riding in race 90% of the time. But I def plan on riding around in 3 when I want to explore. I’m pretty excited. When I was a kid I used to own a little peddle bike in the same style. Love the look of these bikes
Still have the bike? How’s it been? How’s the actual mileage and top speed? Thanks
I have one, only have put 300 miles on it, no problems at all. Awesome ebike so far.
I really like mine.
Out of the box mostly for the fun factor most owners will swap the rear freewheels to a 11/28t and some will swap the stock 52t front for a 56t then speeds over 18-20+ you can easily sustain 28 mph and keep a reasonable cadence and as you can assist at full speed now of course the battery will thank you with more range options. I also suggest joining the juiced Facebook groups if you are like me and enjoy modding and working on your ride.
Thanks for the comment! That sounds like an excellent upgrade to make, I had a lot of fun tearing around at high speed but got tired of pedaling so fast pretty quick XD
I really hope to see a review on the new hyperscrambler 2 from you. Definitely the best and most detailed reviews
Thanks Mike! I'm not sure we'll be able to get one but I'm hoping to check it out as well.
Hey! He stole my shorts! I have the Camp Scrambler, and it is a beast! I put 4 bike bags and a rear rack on mine, it looks like a little motorcycle. When its time to get a new battery, I will definately get the 19 ah for the greater range. Other than that, I've had no problems and it's a blast!
What rack did you get? Waiting on mine, a little confused on what rack will work
@Steve I just used a regular bike rack from Walmart, it fits perfect b/n the frame. Then just get creative with some zip ties.
A great review as usual , if you got paid you can buy some new shorts :-)
I should do a GoFundMe!
There were a few times I saw your life flash before you in this review lol
I have a hyper scrambler from Juiced. nothing but problems, it was for sure one of the early ones from the pre sale. I am converting the entire electrical system on it, including mid drive bbshd, new lights front and rear and getting rid of the cheap star union brakes, for a way better set. Just need to get this covid lock up is over with.
That thing will be a monster with a mid drive! I hope you post a video when it's done!
Oh man! So sorry to hear about the issues. Perhaps they are fixing some of them because there’s a delay on current orders, from what I can tell at their website. We will be covering the latest HyperScrambler soon
That's alot of Bike I seen one for the first time today great review
Your shifter is upside down because its a right side shifter mounted on the left so that the throttle can be on the right side. This is how they are all assembled.
Interesting, good to know! I've ridden other bikes that had grip twist shifters on both sides (such as a 21 speed) so it seems strange to me that they wouldn't be able to get a proper left-side shifter.
I'm not sure you can get a left side rear twist shifter, it's a bit weird to install it upside down on left bar though.
@@timscott3027 I think they just really wanted the throttle on the right side like on a regular moped/motorbike.
The industry is overpricing everything, especially batteries.
Just got mine just now good review man
JUICED Everything is Gold right now . i see dudes on these in the PNW making me hella Jealous 👀 Tora is the Man ⚡
Haha, I'm getting one! I'm in PDX as well
What does PNW stand for?
@@edub715 PNW = Pacific NorthWest
That Revoshift grip shifter would normally appear on the right hand side of a normal bike, hence the upside-down orientation on the left side of your Scrambler there. Juiced just said screw-it and went w/it.
Excellent Thorough review!
Great review!! Looking at the Scrambler seriously. For general pavement and a little trail riding, what psi do you have in the tires? Thanks, Craig
Waiting for you guys to do the Juiced Scorpion & Juiced Hyperscorpion
Looks like it'd be relatively straightforward to raise the seat up if you're handy.
I'm raising mine on an Ariel Rider X class.... I'm using two pieces of boxed aluminum.
Great review!
Hyper Scrambler Next 🖤
That is not sold anymore. Used a MAC motor and it was a nightmare.
Thanks for the request... ;)
Sadly we don't have plans for that one... but we do have a HyperScorpion on the way!
@@TysonRoehrkasse !!! When is that happening!? hyped!!
@@recoomedabest9970 We preordered it and should get it sometime in July. Then another week or two for me to test it out and make the review! Very excited for that one :D
Would love a "performance showdown" between some of the bikes in this form factor:
- Radrunner Plus
- Ariel Rider D-Class
- Juiced Bikes Camp Scrambler
- Rize Bikes Blade
- AddMotor M-66 R7
@Steve I also agree that Ariel Rider offers a better value. And motor of Ariel Rider is stronger (also noisier) than Juiced bikes. Will you do a comparison video between Juiced and Ariel X-Class ?
What do you guys think about the Ariel Rider M class it's a mid drive motor vs the scrambler and x class?
Nice review on a very interesting bike!
Thanks for talking about the power and the comfort, which I had been wondering about.
It really looks like so much fun.
With all of that power, I might prefer a one speed.
Do you think it would be nice to have one speed and no chain slap?
Honestly, I would love a one-speed setup, It would keep things a lot more simple. I found I mostly used the highest gear, and sometimes shifted down one or two... but mostly I just stayed in the high gear and used the throttle to get started every time.
Thanks for the review. Looks really solid. I think Camp variant is what I would opt for.
This is faster on streets.
great job on review .... i love that e mini bike plan on getting a red one soon...... need to get your hands on a super 73 original 2018 and a RX to review for us out here!!!! i personally have the super 73 RX and its a beast and super fun to ride!!! i just wish i had got in on the kick start of this e mini bike at the 999 price tag instead of the 1800 now with 150 for fenders and 300 for upgraded control box to get it to 28-30 mph on straight motor power!!!
Greetings, good to see beautiful Northern Colorado, I used to live in Ft. Collins. I don't understand the riding position and desire for these style of bikes besides the look. I always like Juiced bikes torque sensor, how does this compare with just the straight cadence sensor. Thanks
I was wondering if you've reviewed many more of these banana seat scrambler type e-bikes like the Zugo Rhino or the Aerial different models, like I believe they have a model with duel motors for serious power?
Would love your feedback!🙂
Also I was wondering if you've ever reviewed a sidecar that I believe is manufactured in the United Kingdom🤔
PS you do a marvelous job on your reviews, thank you so much for being so very thorough👍
Cheers😎
Thanks so much! I covered the HyperScorpion which also has the banana seat, and awhile back I also did the AddMotor M-66: electricbikereview.com/addmotor/motan-m-66-r7/
I haven't gotten to try the Zugo or Aerial ones yet. Dual motors would be awesome!
in depth and then some, very nice review...
Looks awesome, but at 6ft 3" I feel it might be uncomfortable to pedal and look a bit silly. Any tall folks own one of these?
Yes, you pedal only when going from 0 to help acceleration, otherwise just throttle, the pedals are there to make it legal
Hey, you're the same height as me! Pedaling was not very comfortable but I got used to it after awhile. Definitely feels weird if you're used to riding a full-size bike.
Great video... down here in Parker....
Hi, will you be doing a super73 review or have you done one already ?
I think lower center of gravity helps feeling safer
Would like larger rims and maybe a 3 1/2 inch fat tire, but motorcycles don’t have 26” or 27” rims that I know of !
Best bike out I’ve owned xp and Natko this way better
Good review
How's the seat wear?
I noticed that on the left side the outer covering was starting to kind of bunch up and show some wear after only 90 miles or so. The right side seems fine though, so maybe I was sitting on it weird! It still feels the same :D
Tyson Roehrkasse hey Tyson would a 11-28 freewheel be a better match for this bike? Thanks for your time
@@JmieRUclips I think so, that would get you more speed on the top end which would be a win in my book!
Tyson Roehrkasse awesome, I'm going to install them on the scrambler and xp when they arrive have a good weekend 🤙🏻
Haven't been here a few years... Your voice really changed .. the beared helps too.
lol Court now has a few new team mate reviewing for EBR
Bingo! This is Tyson. I’m Court... and I still review, but have been working on some guides recently. The pandemic has changed a few processes, so things have slowed a bit. Hope you’re well!
Hey, how about a review of the Juiced Scorpion or (preferably) the Hyper Scorpion?
Wish granted! We pre-ordered a HyperScorpion to review, should have it sometime in July :)
Juiced needs to make adjustable seats 4 6ft and up and not banana seats for low riders who are under 6ft. Make it happen soon! Would you buy a size 10 shoes 👞 if your shoes size is 12 just saying?
I would love to see an option for us tall folks!
Fantastic bike
Hello!!! Do you know the Width and Rise for the handlebar? than you!!! for the review
What does the bikers recommend the Zugo or the scrambler ? I’m at a cross which one ?
I think there's an option seat spacer that raises the seat about 4".
Is there one for the Scrambler? All I could find on their website was the Tall Seat for the Scorpion and HyperScorpion.
Can I upgrade the 14 28 teeth for a better human pedaling performance?
Slick tyres must be good for wet ride
Tyson. I bet these ride nice, but they lack asthetics. So if performance is the goal. and not a looking cool, this is a good choice.. :) just an opinion. Thought, it looks like it was designed to be an old school minibike, (they seem to have forgotten) I would have added some rear suspension springs . Hope you are well . give me a call sometime to catch up. Robb
Unfortunate this isn't two-passenger capable , but to be fair they do classify it as a mini
*Which is the right wedslide to order the electric bike Lectric XP?*
28:06-28:13 what is that sound when he presses the brake? Is it common/normal. I have a radrunner with disc brakes and the front brake recently started making that noise when I use the brake above 10mph. It usually comes after I ride around for a while. It won’t hurt the brakes right or mess up the bike?
Do you mean the buzzing sound? I believe that is from the motor inhibitors. I don't actually know why they make the buzzing sound, perhaps someone else can chime in, but I don't think it's anything to worry about and just part of their normal operation.
Your crazy riding with the whizzz traffic maybe the camera makes it look bad. Drivers really don't respect bicycle riders or give room for Safety margin.
The camera angle may affect it, I use the wide angle when using the chest mount and that can kinda distort things. Drivers in Fort Collins actually respect bicyclists more than most places I have been... but they aren't perfect, paying attention and defensive riding is still crucial. I've lost count of how many times I would have been run over if I wasn't paying attention and took evasive action. I've gotten used to it, for most of my adult life I haven't owned a car and have ridden either a bicycle or a motorcycle.
NCM Aspen + costs €570 on Amazon.. is the price true?
Did you change the tires?
No, those are the stock tires for the CityScrambler. Juiced also sells it as a CampScrambler with the knobby tires and spokes :)
I see that, looks like the tire Rad uses..
Do a review on the super 73 rx
my display doesnt have the backlight... only when I turn the headlight on? i'm missing something?
I'm on a Juiced RCS but I remember seeing something about the backlight in the settings menu. Juiced has a whole video on the display too. For what it's worth my backlight is always on.
Looks pretty uncomfortable with no rear suspension of any kind
It is great when riding on pavement, the fat tires and seat go a long way. I recommend standing up on the cranks for any serious bumps though!
Do you know where I can find a replacement suspension
my cadence sensor become loose the small sensor popped loose of its fitting, and rubbed on the chain. and now my bike is throttle only. It costs $200 usa, for the part and then the shipping to Canada. It's not worth doing because I will install a mid drive bbshd when covid is over. If anyone needs parts. for the scrambler I will have some available. cheaper than the dealer.
What usb charger does it use to charge your phone ?
Isn't it a class 2 if it has a throttle?
Those pedals look like they will hit the street if you pedal during a turn. Am i wrong?
Yup he mentions it in the video.. about sharp turning and the pedals hitting the street.
They will and I got pedal strikes a couple times while riding. It's really not bad, just not as much clearance as I'm used to from riding full size bicycles (electric or otherwise)
i thought class 3 was 28 mph?
didnt this bike come out 1+yr ago
juiced has down graded this bike .you cant even get the same bike they advertise here on youtube .the customer service is not good they do nothing to solve this issue.they also redisigned the hyper scrambler to a ugly bike and increased the price to 3,500 horrible .this company has gone down hill.the guy in charge is not doing a good job for his customers needs and only cares about money not satisfying the customer .thanks for the review
Do i need a license to ride this in California?
Looks like a mini bike from the early 70s.
How do you unlock race mode
yo be careful! I don't want you guys to get hurt lol
Will do! I did some progressive testing before taking it on the big hills :)
looks the same as the rize blade almost identical
guys what hapnd to the other nerd?
Lol, that’s me, Court. I’m still here, just rotating with Tyson ;)
a smaller wheeled bike is far better in the florida woods .the big fat tire bikes are dangerous. the small wheels make quick turns easier/safer. mostly sand/clay roads with mud puddles and tight turns.
Time for some new shorts, seriously...
Jesus Christ this review was as unnecessarily long as his shorts were too short.
,,,,Pandemic and all that...., so Now let's get on with something that's of Real Importance.... a goddamned electric bicycle. How very timely. And so indifferently presented.
Not everyone sets up an altar to their problems. Negative nancy
80 pounds is a deal breaker. I live on the second floor of a duplex. I'm not carrying this up and down stairs.
This video could be easily fitted in 10 minutes
That looks like a simple hack job made in someone's garage .. Don't be cheap.. Get a grizzly and end of story .
Complete trash bikes, got a Ripcurrent S in Jan, have barely ridden it due to countless defects. They refuse to take it back. This company is all slick marketing and terrible quality.
That bike is soooo ugly love my RX though.
Wait till the s73 app crashes or when the company starts regulating your bike with that app.Also is it fun to have to pull over and stop just to switch your mode of assist.
@@TheJay2dabee very concerned about bikes that can be limited through an app, Will Not buy anything that has them..
Very, Very Ugly. Anything that’s fast will get beautiful in a few months. My Jupiter Defient gets 36 mph on flats and I weigh 206lbs. And 76 years old air streaming.need step through, good reviews on my Jupiter at$1249 The thing with an e bike where there’s will there alway way it not an drone.
Avoid anything From Juiced Junk Bikes
Awesome review!
