Juiced Bikes launches special edition 35 MPH HyperScrambler 2 e-bike
Juiced Bikes is back with a new edition of its highest performance electric bike yet, the HyperScrambler 2. This time the company’s founder Tora Harris has reworked the aesthetics of the bike in a limited edition run to create the the Founder’s Edition HyperScrambler 2.
Only 150 of the e-bikes will be made, with each coming individually numbered to let you know how quick you were at ordering one.
The limited series of Founder’s Edition bikes still carry the same impressive performance specs as the original HyperScrambler 2 that we know and love.
That means it gets a 1,000W Retroblade motor with a peak power output of 2,000W and a maximum speed (in unlocked mode) of a published “30+ mph”. The true top speed has been tested by numerous riders as actually reaching closer to 35 mph (56 km/h).
The HyperScrambler 2 also carries a pair of high capacity batteries to make sure that the power-hungry motor and and controller can go the distance. In fact, that distance is listed as 100 miles (160 km) of range per charge.
Even just one of the 52V 19.2Ah batteries on the HyperScrambler 2 offers more capacity than most other e-bikes, coming in at 998 Wh per battery. But the pair of them pushing close to 2,000 Wh is one of the highest capacity battery loadouts we’ve ever seen on a retail electric bike.
The bike isn’t just fast though, it’s also comfortable. Front and rear suspension turn this into a full-suspension electric moped. A huge head light with built-in bluetooth speaker make it fun to ride, and there’s even a full LED light package including turn signals.
The Founder’s Edition HyperScrambler 2 has a few added accessories personally selected and crafted by Tora to turn the bike into his dream of what the HS2 could truly become. That includes a custom green colorway, upgraded tan saddle, headlight fairing that works like a small windscreen (and might just add an extra mile of range if you stay tucked behind it), custom race plates with Juiced bikes year of founding (not many e-bike companies have been around since 2009!) and new all-terrain 4″ fat tires that have never before been offered on the HyperScrambler 2.
The HyperScrambler 2 has long been a favorite of ours here at Electrek and its single-battery cousin known as the HyperScorpion even earned vehicle of the year after it debuted.
These e-bikes, which can be operated in reduced power and speed modes to maintain street legal riding, open the door to much higher performance output. For riders who want a street-legal yet highly capable e-bike for daily commuting and a much more performance-oriented bike for weekend fun, the HyperScrambler 2 delivers that thrill.
It does so at a price though, which is around $3,099 for the regular edition of the bike. The Founder’s Edition here will set you back $3,499 when it opens for orders on January 19th.
But then again, there will only ever be 150 of them made, so perhaps that could be a steal if this becomes a collector’s item. You’ll have the last laugh with your wife when this bad boy rolls across the Barrett-Jackson auction block in 30 years fetching a six figure sum. “See, honey? I told you it was a smart investment!”
Electrek’s Take
Sometimes these limited edition e-bikes can be a bit gimmicky, but occasionally they actually come out really slick-looking. And this is definitely the latter.
Not only is the Juiced Hyperscrambler 2 already an amazing e-bike, but the Founder’s Edition looks badass. I love that green colorway and tan seat, plus that headlight fairing adds the motorcycle vibes this e-bike always deserved. I’m not sure if I want to hear other people’s music blasting out of the bluetooth speaker as they ride down the boardwalk, but the rest all checks my boxes.
With only 150 of these being made though, part of me wants to get one and ride the hell out of it, while the other part of me wants to baby it and keep it pristine.
What the hell, you only live once. Let ‘er rip!

A dozen Tesla vehicles burned at a store in Toulouse, France. Arson is suspected amid global protests and vandalism attacks against Tesla and Elon Musk.
Last night, a dozen Tesla vehicles burned down at Tesla’s retail and service location in Plaisance-du-Touch near Toulouse, France.
Firefighters arrived on the scene at around 4 a.m. and contained the fire to the vehicles. Eight of them were completely destroyed, and four were greatly damaged. The damages are estimated at over 700,000 euros.
According to the local news (translated from French), the police suspected arson as a hole was found in a fence, and threats had been made over the last few weeks. The Tesla location remained closed all day.
Tesla is currently being protested by anti-fascist groups around the world, especially in the US, where many are targeting Tesla to protest against Elon Musk’s involvement in the US government.
In France, there were a few protests planned, but some extremist groups are calling for widespread arson against Tesla stores:
I won’t share the link to the article since it gives step-by-step instructions on how to burn down Tesla stores without getting caught, but the manifesto explains that they are going after Tesla as a “symbol of capitalism,” although they also list a dozen other reasons including the fact that they think it’s “doable and cheap.”
Electrek’s Take
This is getting nuts. It’s not only dangerous, but it’s also not super effective in achieving the goal they claim to want to achieve.
Have they never heard of insurance? Tesla is having issues selling cars right now. You are burning unsold inventory that they can then claim to their insurance.
Sure, it disrupts their operations for a short period of time, but it’s not worth it.
Their manifesto does say to avoid violence and not to target vehicles owned by individuals – though it doesn’t sound like a strict rule for them, but I think these people are likely going to end up in jail for having achieved nothing.
The protests and boycotts are going strong. You don’t need to burn cars to make yourself heard.

Ford F-150 Lightning sales have been falling for months: What’s going on with the EV pickup?
Is Ford’s electric pickup in trouble? Sales have been down for months, and February showed no relief. What’s going on with the Ford F-150 Lightning?
Ford F-150 Lightning sales drop again in February 2025
Ford’s US sales dropped by 9% last month. Although electrified vehicles, including EVs and hybrids, both notched double-digit growth, sales of Ford’s gas-powered (ICE) models, which accounted for over 85% of deliveries, fell nearly 13%.
Hybrids saw higher demand with sales up 27.5% to 15,357, while EV sales increased 15% to 7,326. The Mustang Mach-E was a bright spot with 3,312 models sold in February, up 13% from the prior year.
With 6,841 Mach-Es sold through the first three months of 2025, Ford’s electric crossover SUV remains a top-selling EV in the US.
Ford’s electric pickup didn’t fare as well. F-150 Lightning Sales were down nearly 15% last month with only 2,199 units sold. Through March, Ford has sold 15% fewer Lightning models than it did at this time last year.
Sales of the electric pickup have been slipping for months now. In the final three months of 2024, F-150 Lightning sales were down 10%.
The Lightning, alongside Rivian’s R1T, are no longer the only electric pickups on the market. Ford is facing new competition with the Tesla Cybertruck, Chevy Silverado EV, and GMC Sierra EV, arriving.
According to Cox Automotive, the Tesla Cybertruck slipped past the Lightning to become the fifth best-selling EV in the US last year with nearly 39,000 units sold. Ford’s Lightning was sixth with just over 33,500 models sold.
Ford extended its “Power Promise” promo earlier this year to boost demand, giving EV buyers a Level 2 home charger and other benefits, but Lightning sales are still down.
The American automaker cut Lightning production at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center last year, citing slower-than-expected demand. A new report from Automotive News claims Ford is now ending a pilot program to stock and distribute EVs through regional hubs after it failed to catch on. It was designed to speed up deliveries.
Although Ford plans to launch a smaller midsize electric pickup, it won’t arrive until at least two more years. With new competition, like the Ram 1500 REV and Volkswagen Scout pickup, hitting the market over the next few years, Ford may find it even harder to attract buyers.
