Juiced Nomadix R: $2,495 Electric Dirt Bike
Juiced Bikes has launched the Nomadix R, a 70 mph electric dirt bike with a 15 kW motor and 2.88 kWh battery for $2,495, positioning it between budget and high-end models.
Juiced Bikes has launched the Nomadix R electric dirt bike for $2,495. According to a test ride report from Electrek, the bike features a 15 kW motor and a top speed of 70 mph.
The electric dirt bike market is split between low-cost, questionable machines and high-quality, expensive models from established brands. The new Juiced Nomadix R aims for a middle ground with better components at a competitive price. The reviewer states Juiced may have created one of the best performance-per-dollar electric dirt bikes available.
Two Models, Key Specs
Juiced offers two versions of the Nomadix. The standard model and the higher-performance R variant differ in motor power, top speed, battery, and charger.
| Model | Motor Power | Top Speed | Battery | Charger | Recharge Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nomadix | 8 kW | 60 mph | 2.5 kWh | 5A | 7 hours |
| Nomadix R | 15 kW | 70 mph | 2.88 kWh | 10A | 3.5 hours |
The R model's larger 2.88 kWh battery and faster 10A charger cut charging time roughly in half compared to the standard bike. Neither is designed for all-day riding, but the report states there is enough battery for serious trail time. Bringing a second battery is suggested for extended track use.
Build and Riding Experience
The bike is equipped with KKE suspension offering 220mm of travel, 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels with off-road tires, and Talon P6 six-piston hydraulic disc brakes. It weighs around 160 lbs. The seat height is 33 inches, and Juiced rates it for riders from 5'0" to 6'4".
The reviewer emphasizes this is an off-highway vehicle, not street-legal, and requires proper riding gear like a full-face helmet and jacket. Once geared up, the riding experience was described as an absolute blast.
The Nomadix R has three power levels. The reviewer, who admits most of his riding is on pavement, spent much time in Level 2, finding the power more than sufficient. He stated the bike made off-road riding feel easy, with enough suspension, braking power, and torque to handle trails and correct mistakes.
Juiced General Manager Austin Gomes, who joined the ride, demonstrated higher skill levels on a Scrambler e-bike. The reviewer noted the Nomadix R was confidence-inspiring for a recreational rider, with considerable untapped capability for skill development.
Performance and Safety Features
The bike's 380 Nm of torque is a key feature, felt even at lower speeds. The report contrasts this with cheaper electric dirt bikes that can feel disappointingly soft. The source notes that torque is palpable, even at lower speeds, meaning you don't have to go fast to have fun or get into trouble.
The 70 mph top speed is described as almost beside the point for most recreational off-road riding. Juiced includes a Speed Lock feature, allowing owners to limit the bike's performance with a PIN code. The reviewer suggests this is a smart addition, especially for younger riders.
Market Position and Appeal
Comparable models from Sur-Ron and Talaria are noted as being much more expensive, while cheaper off-brand machines lack equivalent suspension, brakes, and build quality. At $2,495, Juiced is seen as combining serious performance with appropriate components.
The reviewer concludes that while he is not the target customer, he understands the appeal and would consider buying one for recreational use. He adds that if Juiced ever creates a street-legal version, he would be first in line to purchase it.
