Juiced Bikes has unveiled a new version of its Scrambler Hardtail electric bike featuring a second battery. The key benefit of this update is a significantly increased range: the manufacturer claims up to 120 miles—or approximately 193 km—on a single charge under ideal conditions.
The new model retains the Scrambler’s signature moped-style design, wide tires, and powerful motor, but is now designed for significantly longer rides. For city riders, this means less need to hunt for a charging station or return home to recharge.
Two batteries instead of one
The main change in the new version lies not on the outside, but within the power system. The standard Scrambler Hardtail is equipped with a 52V 19.2Ah battery. The new dual-battery version boasts a total capacity of 38.4Ah.
It was the increase in battery capacity that made it possible to raise the claimed maximum range from approximately 60 to 120 miles. However, it is important to note that this maximum figure applies to favorable operating conditions. Actual range depends on the rider's weight, speed, terrain, temperature, wind, tire pressure, and the motor usage mode.
The powerful engine has remained unchanged.
The Scrambler Hardtail Dual-Battery is powered by the same drive system as the standard Scrambler version.
Juiced specifies a nominal power of 750 W, a peak power of up to 1,764 W, and a maximum torque of 90 Nm. The bike is equipped with a hub motor, a pedal-assist system, and a throttle.
The maximum stated speed reaches 28 mph, or approximately 45 km/h. However, the specific conditions for using this mode depend on local regulations and legislation.
Hardtail — without rear suspension
Unlike the full-suspension version, the new Scrambler Hardtail does not have a rear shock absorber.
This allows for a simpler and slightly lighter design. Official specifications from Juiced list the weight of the Hardtail at around 83 pounds (≈37.6 kg), while the Full Suspension model weighs approximately 85 pounds (≈38.6 kg).
It features an inverted KKE fork with 140 mm of travel at the front. The wide 20-inch tires are also designed for riding on various surfaces.
What did the user receive?
From a practical standpoint, the new version is interesting primarily due to its increased autonomy.
The standard Scrambler already offers a claimed range of up to 60 miles. With two batteries, Juiced claims a range of up to 120 miles. This is particularly appealing to those who use the e-bike not only for short city trips but also for long rides or countryside excursions.
At the same time, a second battery increases the bicycle's weight and cost. Therefore, for someone who typically rides 10–20 km a day, an additional battery might be unnecessary.
Comparison of Juiced Scrambler versions
| Model | Battery | Range | Peak power | Torque | Mass | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scrambler Hardtail Dual-Battery | 52 V / 38.4 Ah | up to 120 miles (≈193 km) | 1764 W | 90 N·m | ≈37.6 kg | ≈ $1,999 |
| Scrambler Hardtail | 52 V / 19.2 Ah | up to 60 miles (≈97 km) | 1764 W | 90 N·m | ≈37.6 kg | ≈ $1,899 |
| Scrambler Full Suspension | 52 V / 19.2 Ah | up to 60 miles (≈97 km) | 1764 W | 90 N·m | ≈38.6 kg | ≈ $1,899 |
Prices are indicative and based on current manufacturer data. The stated range depends on operating conditions, load, speed, terrain, and other factors.
Who needs a second battery?
The new version is primarily aimed at those for whom a long range is truly important.
If the bike is used for short city trips, the standard Scrambler Hardtail with a single battery may suffice. The claimed range of up to 60 miles (approx. 97 km) is already enough for many daily routes.
However, for longer rides, the second battery becomes a more attractive feature. The claimed range of up to 120 miles (approx. 193 km) effectively makes it possible to view the Scrambler as a vehicle for long-distance trips, rather than just an urban e-bike.
Conclusion
The Juiced Scrambler Hardtail Dual-Battery is not a completely new design, but an evolution of an existing model. The main change is the addition of a second battery, which roughly doubles the claimed range.
At the same time, the powerful 1,764-watt peak motor, 90 Nm of torque, front suspension, and distinctive Scrambler design have been retained.
For a user prioritizing maximum range, the new version appears to be the most compelling option in the lineup. For short daily commutes, the standard Hardtail remains the more rational choice due to its lower price.
