Electric Juiced Scooter Offers Versatility & Oomph

Riding fat wheels on electric bicycles and scooters can be a thrill if the electric motor is up to the job.

The Cool, Electric “Juiced Scooter”

Fat wheels are all the craze these days. We can find them on bikes, scooters, and even motorcycles. Although a few electric fat-tire scooters pop up here and there, they are mostly backordered and not readily available.

What caught our attention is the detail in engineering to overcome a few problems that low and fairly wide vehicles have on the road.

After experimenting with various riding heights, battery options, and electrical configurations, Phat Scooter settled on what it considers to be the best compromise. The core question is whether to add bulky batteries on the bottom and end up with a high deck or a have a low deck but less range and its own issues.

Low decks with low centers of gravity make for a great ride feel and handling. However, turning can be annoying, as the fairly wide and long platform can scrape its bottom upon turning. Plus, shoving an electric battery, controller, and cabling in a tight place is no easy feat, so the lower you go, the more challenge you have getting everything to tuck neatly under the riding deck.

However, a higher center of gravity makes for a less stable ride and experience, and many would agree that it simply doesn’t look good!

Juiced Scooters made a few moves to try to get the best balance between everything.

Electric Juiced Scooter, Designing an Electric Fat-Wheel Scooter

After setting out to achieve an extremely low profile battery configuration, we were able to hide our battery pack underneath the deck of our scooter frame thus helping to protect the battery and offering a clean profile. This allowed us to keep the center of gravity low enough to maintain a comfortable ride while also eliminating the issues of cornering and high centering. We also packaged our electronics between the vertical frame tubing which shielded important systems from the elements.

“The end result is a product we’re very proud to present to our customers. Never has a run to the store been so much fun. Never has the ride to the restaurant been such an adventure and never will a lack of parking take away from where you and yours are going. Simply put, a Juiced Scooter is a blast to ride, comfortable, and absolutely bullet proof.”

The Juiced Electric Scooter’s Specs

In the end, the Juiced Electric Scooter offers a low-slung center of gravity, provides plenty of room to maneuver, and rests on comfortable fat tires, but how about some numbers?

Weighing in at 120 lbs, the Juiced Electric Scooter uses a 60 V, 12 Ah lithium-ion battery pack, pushing its 2000 W electric motor up to a comfortable 30 MPH.

It has three riding modes. At first, this might seem excessive, but after watching electric fat-tire riders on the beach path near our vacation house, I can vouch for the use and practicality of the Cruise mode, which restricts the electric Juiced Scooter to 15 mph — great idea. The other modes are City and Sport, which are respectively 22 mph and 30mph.

Electric Juiced Scooter Final Thoughts

OK, this one ranks high on most peoples want list. There is something to be said about a big, electric, fat-tire scooter. And the appeal is growing on me in leaps and bounds. They make sense. They are stable enough for most people and carry a certain amount of cargo, ideal for quick grocery runs. The electric Big Phat Scooter’s versatility is greater than that of a traditional e-bike without cargo space. Plus, its inherent design shape allows a certain level of comfort not found on most electric bicycles.

Could you see your garage welcoming yet another urban commuter in the shape and form of an electric Juiced Scooter?
