Juiced Bikes Sells for $1.2M at Auction After Bankruptcy—Mystery Buyer Steps In
In a surprising turn of events, Juiced Bikes, the well-known Southern California-based electric bicycle company, has reportedly been sold at auction for approximately $1.225 million. While the exact status of the company remains murky, it seems that Juiced Bikes’ branding, intellectual property, and remaining inventory have all been sold off.
The sale has yet to be officially confirmed, but the company’s website has been out of stock for several weeks. Many customers have voiced concerns about the brand going silent, raising fears that the business may be in serious financial distress. Last week, we covered Juiced’s apparent struggle, noting that the company’s assets had been put up for auction, which appeared to signal its imminent closure.
The assets sold in multiple lots included over a dozen patents, company URLs, and even a Sprinter cargo van, as well as inventory based in both the U.S. and China. The auction, which concluded recently, ended with a final sale price of $1.225 million, though the identity of the buyer remains unknown. Given the amount, it’s likely that a large institutional investor or a rival e-bike company snatched up Juiced’s assets at a bargain price.
Juiced Bikes’ brand still holds considerable value, thanks to its 15-year legacy of producing high-performance, powerful e-bikes. Known for models like the HyperScrambler, RipCurrent, and CrossCurrent, the company built a strong reputation with its innovative designs, particularly in long-range battery capacity and powerful electric motors. It became a key player in the North American e-bike market, initially making waves with one of the first electric cargo bikes in the U.S.
However, like many companies, Juiced Bikes found itself navigating a tricky funding landscape in the wake of the post-pandemic e-bike boom. Despite its success and impact on the industry, the company couldn’t avoid the financial challenges that have hit many players in the volatile electric bicycle sector.
At this point, we’re still waiting on official statements from Juiced Bikes’ founders and further details on what will happen to the brand moving forward. What’s clear is that Juiced Bikes played a pivotal role in shaping the e-bike landscape long before many of today’s big-name brands even existed.
