Battery and electrical safety. Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire if they're damaged or charged wrong. Never open a battery pack, and stop using any battery that's swollen, hot, wet or smells burnt. Every edit to this page is checked by a second person before it goes live.

This page covers common problems on Juiced e-bikes, including the current Scrambler and older models such as the CrossCurrent X and RipCurrent S. Displays and codes differ between models, so check which manual matches your bike before you use the code list.

Before you start

  • Find your model, then download its manual from the Juiced help center. It holds user manuals for the Scrambler and for older models, plus a battery safety manual and setup videos.
  • Turn the bike off before you check anything. On the Scrambler, Juiced says to hold the power button to switch the display off and also set the battery's on/off rocker to off to stop slow drain (Scrambler manual).
  • On older models, the CrossCurrent X manual says to switch the battery off after each ride, and the key on the frame releases the pack (CrossCurrent X manual).

Common problems and what to check

Throttle and pedal assist don't work

The CrossCurrent X and RipCurrent S manuals list the same first checks (CrossCurrent X manual, RipCurrent S manual):

  1. Make sure the battery is switched on, seated properly and charged.
  2. Make sure the display is on.
  3. Check that neither brake lever is being held, since an engaged brake sensor stops the motor. Look at the lever and let it spring back fully.

More help: e-bike won't turn on, no pedal assist and throttle not working.

Slower than normal or short range

Juiced's manuals link reduced speed to a low battery, and reduced range to low charge, low tire pressure, heavy loads, rough terrain or riding on throttle alone (RipCurrent S manual). Charge fully, check tire pressure against the range printed on the sidewall, and pedal along with assist. See battery drains fast.

Battery won't charge

  • Check the charger's connections and the wall outlet. On the Scrambler, a charger light that never comes on means checking the cord and outlet first, and a light that stays red can point to a battery problem, so contact Juiced (Scrambler manual).
  • Red means charging and green means full on Juiced chargers (CrossCurrent X manual).
  • Temperature matters. The Scrambler manual says to charge indoors in a dry, ventilated spot between 32°F and 104°F, never unattended, and never for more than 12 hours (Scrambler manual).
  • Use only the original battery and charger approved for your bike (Battery safety manual).

Cracks, bulging, rust, a deformed plug, heat, smoke, odd smells or leaks mean stop using and charging the battery and have it inspected (Battery safety manual). Don't open it. See battery won't charge and find a shop.

Storing the battery

For the Scrambler, Juiced suggests storing the battery at about 60% charge, off the bike for long breaks, checking it every 3 months, and charging to 100% only a few hours before you ride (Scrambler manual). See e-bike battery care and store your battery for winter.

Brakes

Juiced says to test both levers before every ride. If a lever reaches the handlebar when fully pulled, or you see fluid leaking, stop riding and get the brakes serviced. The Scrambler manual says to replace pads once they are under 3.0 mm thick (Scrambler manual). See e-bike brakes and replace disc brake pads.

Strange noises

The older manuals point to loose hardware first, then drivetrain or motor issues, and suggest a tune-up or contacting support if it continues (CrossCurrent X manual). See e-bike noises and hub motor troubleshooting.

Error codes

Codes depend on the display. Always check your own model's manual.

Scrambler (Scrambler manual):

  • E003: pedal assist sensor fault, check its plug
  • E006: battery voltage low, charge fully
  • E007: motor fault, check the motor plug
  • E008: throttle fault, check the throttle plug
  • E009: controller fault, check controller connections
  • E010 and E011: display communication fault, check the display plug
  • HOT: overheating, stop and let the bike cool

Older models with the Advanced Matrix Display, such as the CrossCurrent X (CrossCurrent X manual). The RipCurrent S manual lists the same codes:

  • 4: throttle not back at its start position at power on
  • 5: throttle may be damaged
  • 6: battery voltage too low, wrong battery, or battery asleep
  • 7: battery voltage too high, check you have the correct battery
  • 8: motor hall sensor signal fault
  • 9: motor phase wire fault
  • 10: controller too hot, let it cool
  • 11, 12 and 21: temperature, current or speed sensor fault, contact support
  • 30: display and controller not talking, check connectors for looseness or corrosion

See e-bike error codes.

Official help

When to get a pro

  • Juiced's schedule calls for a shop check of brakes and bolt torque at 100 miles or 5 full charges, and a service at least once a year (Scrambler manual).
  • Sensor codes 11, 12 and 21, a motor phase fault, or any code that returns after you reseat plugs.
  • Any battery damage, or a battery that still won't charge.
  • Brake leaks or a lever that pulls to the bar.

Never open the battery, charger, controller or motor. See when to call a pro.
