Juiced Bikes is no stranger to the electric bike scene. From Hyperfat to CrossCurrent to Scrambler, the company has a reputation for producing nostalgia-driven masterpieces that satisfy the cravings of diverse riders. The all-new Scorpion e-bike does not deviate from this proud tradition.
Just like the Scrambler line of bikes, the Scorpion features fat tires and a low rider feel; classic hallmarks of vintage bikes. As expected, the Scorpion doesn’t fail to combine the retro look with modern e-bike technology. Its unique combination of classic aesthetics, power, and performance makes it a great option for anyone who wishes to take a break from conventional two-wheelers.
Design and features
At first sight, arguably the most striking feature of the Scorpion is the motor-cycle style headlight. It’s as big and round as you’ve ever seen on a bike and the unmatched brightness makes it even more impressive. When you add the massive headlight to the comfortable seat, step-through frame, fat tires, and dual suspension, you can be easily forgiven for thinking the Scorpion is a motorcycle. But that’s the point of Mopeds, right?
A unique blend of power and performance
Beyond the striking physical features, the Scorpion promises unmatched performance. It plans to deliver this through its 52V battery and 750-watt motor; enough power and torque to help you pedal through the most difficult terrains. According to the manufacturers, Juiced Bikes is the only e-bike manufacturing company that uses a 52-V battery to power their bikes! The manufacturers also promise a top speed of 28 MPH and up to 75-mile range.
Riding has never felt so good
Importantly, the Scorpion actually feels good to ride. The feel-good factor is owed in part to the bike’s full suspension system that gives the feeling that you’re floating on air. The Shimano 7-speed transmission facilitates easy pedaling uphill and at high speeds. If you’re concerned about what’ll happen if you’re riding too fast, Scorpion’s powerful hydraulic disc brakes give you perfect control over the braking performance. The versatile step-through frame and wider seat further contribute to giving you an outrageously smooth ride.
Advanced matrix LCD
Monitoring vital parameters while riding should be easy and Scorpion’s customized display ensures just that. You get to see the assist level, battery voltage, speed, mileage, temperature, and other relevant riding indicators at a glance. This makes it easy to check if you’re riding too fast, if your battery needs some juice or if, for one reason or another, your bike is becoming too hot for comfort.
Safety is assured
With wide tires for enhanced stability, ultra-powerful hydraulic disc brakes for responsive and precise stopping, as well as a bright LED moto headlamp for exceptional visibility, you can rest assured you have never been safer on a bike.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
