British brand Saracen has become the latest to add an e-bike to its range, developing a new commuter machine called the Juiced.
Built around a hydroformed 6061 alloy frame, the Juiced gets Suntour Axon XC forks with 100mm of air-sprung travel to keep things comfy on rough city roads, while Shimano M506 hydraulic disc brakes bring its 18.9kg/41-pound bulk to a halt.

Elsewhere on the new Saracen Juiced, there's Shimano Deore 1x10-speed shifters, with an 11-36t cassette paired to a 38t chainset. Tyres are Maxxis Re-Fuse 27.5 x 2.0in dual-compound, and finishing kit is mainly Saracen's own-brand stuff, including flat bars, custom stem and lock-on grips.
Power up those climbs, commuters
But it's the e-bike system that's the main draw here: the UK-developed Saracen Juiced uses Shimano's STEPS system to power riders over longer distances and up steeper hills, so they can arrive at their destination sweat-free.
