About the Juicy Bike Compact Plus electric bike
Summary: An *extremely* good value bike. If you plan to take your e-bike in your car for a long ride through well-maintained pathways, like a canal-side ride, or along the beach promenade, this is a comfortable, well-equipped e-bike.
Isn’t this a pretty bike? The Juicy Bike Compact Plus has a comfortingly classic look while also being a perfect fit for modern day living.
Surprisingly Big Battery
With a 562wh battery – which is larger than the batteries in many full size bikes – the Compact Plus is a long range ride. You can expect a good 40 mile ride on a full charge, but with the right conditions, you can get up to 55 miles.
How heavy?
At 21kg, this is a medium weight for a folding bike, so we think it would work best as a bike that you pack into the boot of a car or motorhome rather than carry on a train. Nevertheless, it would be easy enough to take on the train; imagine taking a wheely suitcase onto the carriage and you’ll get a good idea.
Recharging on the Go...
The battery is easily removable which makes charging up at a pit-stop – like a café or pub – very easy, and it also make it easier to lift the bike into the boot of your car.
What you'll like...
You’ll like the front suspension on this bike, which is something many folding e-bikes don’t come with, and you’ll also like how easy everything is to operate. Simple buttons operate everything from the power assistance to the front and rear lights.
What we like...
The thing that we as a bike shop really appreciate is the 7-speed gearing. Having gearing makes an electric bike much more efficient and can improve the overall ‘smoothness’ of your ride so the Shimano gearing on this bike is a real plus.
