  • Juiced Bikes just dropped a new electric bike that should put even the most range-conscious riders at ease.
  • Thanks to its two battery packs, the company's new HyperScrambler 2 offers more than 100 miles of range between charges, the company claims.
  • The dual-battery HyperScrambler 2 will retail for $3,999, and will be available to preorder at a discount later this month.

In the world of electric transportation, range is king. After all, it doesn't matter how quick, comfortable, or attractive a vehicle is if you're constantly concerned about your next trip to the charger.

Juiced Bikes, a mainstay in the e-bike space since 2009, just released a new model that it hopes will put even the most range-obsessed riders at ease. It's called the HyperScrambler 2, and while the bike is attractive and plenty fast, it's the 100-plus miles of range that really sets it apart from the crowd.

Although that 100-mile range can only be achieved with some pedaling effort on the rider's part, the company said the bike can venture at least 60 miles on throttle power alone. The secret to all that range, as one might expect, lies in the e-bike's range-topping dual battery packs.

But batteries aren't cheap, so the dual-battery version of the HyperScrambler 2 comes with a hefty price tag of $3,999. About $3,000 buys you the same bike, minus one battery pack.
