The Scrambler S doubles the already large battery pack found in the previous version of the Scrambler – up to an impressive 1,123 Wh. Sustaining speeds of 36 mph requires a hefty battery. Not only is 36 mph super fast for an e-bike, it’s also super illegal in most of the US, so the Scrambler S also includes an option to electronically limit the bike to 20 mph (32 km/h) in order to keep it street legal until you reach your favorite trail or other private property. Just take a look at the product video for the Scrambler S’s unveiling, which obviously invokes the epic Steve McQueen motorcycle chase scene from the 1963 classic WWII film, The Great Escape. A massive rear hub motor powers the Scrambler S up to 36 mph (58 km/h) with acceleration that will have you sliding back in the classic leather seat. Beneath that vintage exterior is an e-bike with specs that are largely unmatched in the market. The Scrambler S joins other WWII inspired electric bikes and motorcycles that seem to be making a comeback, such as the ReVolt R71 BMW reboot that we recently reported on.īut it isn’t enough to simply talk the talk. The Scrambler S combines high performance mechanical and electrical components with a vintage design in an unmistakably unique and aggressive looking cruiser.įrom the flat black paint job to the mock V-twin battery case and the classic yellow head lamp with wire grille, this bike definitely looks the part. With Chinese e-bikes undercutting prices of western alternatives, this American e-bike manufacturer has decided to focus on style and performance instead of joining the price race to the bottom. With so many electric bicycle designs available today, it is becoming difficult for any e-bike company, let alone an American e-bike company, to compete on price. Santa Clara, California based Vintage Electric has just unveiled their new Scrambler S electric bicycle, with a style that invokes classic WWII-era motorcycles and with performance to match.
