| + | == Want to buy an e-bike with a safer UL battery? Your options are slim, but growing == | ||

| + | We’ve talked a lot about the increasing spate of fires related to light electric vehicles, including e-bikes, e-scooters, and other micromobility devices. But one Southern California-based e-bike company is now doing something about it by upgrading all of their batteries with UL certification. Juiced Bikes is now one of the few e-bike companies to offer UL-listed batteries, though the number is slowly growing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It’s important to remember that the fire risk in electric bikes is incredibly low. There are millions of e-bikes in the US, but just 200 fires were reported from e-bike batteries in 2021 and 2022. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Even so, the few fires that have been reported can spread quickly due to the nature of Li-ion battery fires, which burn much more intensely than a traditional fire. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is currently no state or federal requirement in the US for e-bikes to come with safety certification for their batteries. That is why many in the industry are urging electric bike manufacturers to voluntarily undergo such certification. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Juiced Bikes, the much-lauded Southern California electric bicycle maker, appears to have been sold at auction for around US $1,225,000. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Or at least the company’s branding, intellectual property, remaining inventory and assets have been sold, with the actual status of the company still somewhat unclear. | ||
| + | |||
| + | While we still don’t have any official confirmation from the company, Juiced Bikes’ website has been out of stock for weeks and customers have been complaining that the company has gone radio silent with them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When we recently reported on the apparent financial duress and potentially pending closure of the company last week, Juiced’s assets had just been put up for auction, removing what little doubt remained about the direction that the famed brand was headed. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Juiced Bikes is officially back – and now it’s bringing its aggressive value pricing strategy to the electric dirt bike market. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The newly revived company, now backed by the same leadership team behind Lectric eBikes, has just launched Juiced Powersports, | ||
| + | |||
| + | Or perhaps more accurately, with these specs and pricing, it’s a shot right through the bow and out the other side. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Nomadix starts at just $2,499, yet the specs read more like a bike several thousand dollars more expensive. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The new electric dirt bike will come in two versions: an 8 kW model and a more powerful 15 kW variant. Even the lower-end model claims a 60 mph (96 km/h) top speed, while the 15 kW Nomadix R stretches that to 70 mph (113 km/h). | ||
| + | |||
| + | That’s serious performance for a machine at this price point. | ||

| + | ===== Scrambler ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Juiced Bikes is back with its moto-style Scrambler hardtail + full suspension e-bikes and $245 FREE bundles from $1,699 == | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | One of the staples of America’s e-bike market, Juiced Bikes, is officially back from the dead, thanks to Lectric’s 11th-hour save during 2024’s financial turmoil, and it’s kicking off its rebirth with the launch of two new e-bikes! You can now score the Scrambler Moto-Style Hardtail e-bike at $1,699 shipped, while the Scrambler Moto-Style Full Suspension e-bike sits a little higher at $1,899 shipped – and both models come with a $245 bundle of FREE gear. These new rides seem to be following the usual Lectric playbook of offering discounts on the bundled gear rather than the e-bikes themselves, with these bundles including a personalized nameplate, a headplate, a bar bag, a bar pad, a fender set, and a sticker pack. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Juiced is returning to its roots to offer fast and powerful moto-style e-bikes with the new Scrambler hardtail and Scrambler full suspension variants, and I’m sure I’m not alone in celebrating the brand’s return. Both e-bikes come bearing 750W rear hub motors (peaking at 1,764W) and 52V 19.2Ah/ | ||

| + | |||
| + | Juiced Bikes says its newly launched Scrambler e-bikes are now officially in stock and shipping, marking the next step in the brand’s return after its acquisition and relaunch under the team behind Lectric eBikes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The announcement comes just weeks after Juiced unveiled the new Scrambler Hardtail and Scrambler Full Suspension models, two moto-style electric bikes that represent the company’s first major product launch since returning to the market. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The pre-order period appears to be over, and customers can now actually order and receive the bikes rather than simply reserve them. It also serves as another sign that Juiced’s comeback is moving forward quickly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Earlier this month, we covered the relaunch of Juiced and its new Scrambler lineup, which appears to borrow heavily from the same value-focused strategy that helped turn Lectric eBikes into the biggest name in the North American e-bike industry. | ||
