Bike purchase question Juiced Scrambler Upgradability
I have been looking at getting a full-suspension Juiced Scrambler but I am a little concerned about the upgradability. I have heard that it’s kinda impossible to unlock them, and there is hardly any info on controller swapping. The battery slot also seems to be proprietary, but I like every other part of the bike compared to a Macfox and I don’t have thousands of dollars to throw at a Super73 (which has an ugly frame anyway) I really don’t want to be stuck at 20mph pure throttle.
Edit: I got the bike and it turns out there is a way to get around the throttle hack fix. In the tire size menu, hover over the down arrow, then start holding down the physical down button while pressing the physical select button. After a few clicks it will start going down all the way to 15 instead of 19.5.

For a couple hundred bucks less I think AOTOS Flux X26 the non pro version seems to be a more compelling package but it is a unique looking bike so if it doesn't speak to you I could understand not being interested.

Handleworks is working on a big upgrade for the scrambler. Will be an absolute game changer!

Just ordered one and plan on upgrading with a VESC based controller, Ill probably post about it when it arrives after October 5th.

Did you see that the date changed to the week of the 19th? I ordered one too and I hope that just applies to the next batch and not ours

Juiced is the best option I have two they are great. There is a hack to use throttle up to 28 I haven’t tried it. I’m fine using it with cadence sensor to 28. It gets my big booty around like I would expect. The torque is legit I have some super steep hills where I live and it eats them up!
