What both Juiced Scrambler models share

Each bike has a 750W nominal, 1,764W peak rear hub motor with 90Nm of torque. Each uses one removable 52V 19.2Ah battery. Juiced states up to 60 miles of range, but that figure is not guaranteed. Load, assistance, speed, terrain, weather, and other conditions affect range.

Both arrive in Class 2 mode, with pedal assistance and throttle limited to 20 mph. The settings can configure Class 3 pedal assist up to 28 mph. The throttle remains limited to 20 mph.

  • KKE inverted front fork 140mm travel.
  • Talon P4 four-piston hydraulic disc brakes.
  • 6061 aluminum frame and single-speed drivetrain.
  • Four assist levels, right thumb throttle, and TFT color display.
  • PIN-protected settings, headlight, tail light, brake light, and turn signals.
  • 31.5-inch bench seat and a suggested rider range of 4 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 3 inches.

The height range is guidance, not a fit guarantee. Test reach, ground contact, and low-speed handling before buying.

Suspension and sensing differences

The Hardtail keeps the 140mm-travel front fork while using a rigid rear frame. Its cadence sensor detects crank movement and calls for motor assistance. This keeps the control system straightforward, but it does not measure how hard you press the pedals.

The Full-Suspension adds a KKE rear shock and selectable torque or cadence sensing. Torque sensing responds to pedal pressure. Cadence sensing responds to crank movement. Neither option is automatically better for every rider, so a test ride is useful.

The rear shock adds another component to check and service. Ask the shop about suspension setup and maintenance for your usage. The Full-Suspension is also 2 pounds heavier and has a listed payload that is 75 pounds lower. Payload includes the rider and carried load, so ask staff to confirm the complete loaded setup.

Fit, payload, and storage checklist

These are substantial bikes to lift at 83 and 85 pounds. Before purchase, consider how the bike will reach your storage area, vehicle rack, or charging location.

  • Check reach to the handlebar and controls.
  • Place both feet as needed and assess ground contact.
  • Test slow turns, starts, stops, and parking maneuvers.
  • Measure storage space for the 66-inch bike length.
  • Include rider, cargo, and any carried load in the payload check.
  • Ask staff to confirm the full loaded setup before ordering.

Who each model may suit

Hardtail considerations

The Hardtail may fit riders who prefer the lower price, simpler rear layout, cadence-only assistance, 83-pound weight, and higher listed 300-pound payload. Its 20 x 4-inch tires and front suspension provide the stated equipment package without a rear shock.

Full-Suspension considerations

The Full-Suspension may fit riders who value a rear shock and the choice between torque and cadence sensing. The tradeoffs are the extra $200, 85-pound weight, 225-pound payload, wider knobby tires, and another suspension component to check and service.

Make the choice by testing the differences

The $200 step to the Full-Suspension buys a rear shock and sensing choices, not more battery or nominal motor power. Compare the 300-pound versus 225-pound payload, 83 versus 85 pounds, and your preferred assistance feel. Then call Tampa Bay eBikes and test the model that fits your riding needs.
