Juicy Sport seat height

Hi DW
The seat height on both the Juicy Sport or Merlin is the same because each use the same frame, which is 18". You can choose either a suspension seat post or a tip-up seat post (which is useful for battery removal). Adding the suspension post increases the saddle height by a couple of inches.
You can also choose just some of the Merlin features if you wish.
Best, if you can, to try any bike before you decide and any of our retailers would be happy to offer a demonstration ride for you.
The latest Juicy range introduced at the Cycle Show last week all benefit from some significant improvements designed to make servicing even easier and will appear on our website soon. In the meantime the 2013 range is still in stock in most colours.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I agree I need to try the bike before buying,having already made a big mistake in buying a totally unsuitable Kudos City,I have tried lots to get used to it but its to big. Have you any dealers in the south west area.

We currently have an Urban (folder) and Classic (step-thru) to try out. I could get hold of a Sport if you really wanted to try that. Perhaps Bob can advise if the saddle height is any different on the Sport than the Classic. I would have thought they would be about the same.

Hi Denwyn,
If it is a bike with low saddle height you are looking for in addition to excellent performance the compact eZee Street is hard to beat.

Thanks for that, I hope you don't think I'm being difficult,but I really don't want such a small wheeled bike.

Not difficult Denwyn, just a whole lot more picky
Maybe you should draw up a shortlist of bikes that you like and let the members whittle it down for you, then if the next one is not to your liking, you can blame someone else

At some stage you are going to have to try some bikes. Now would be a good time, before the weather and clocks change. If you are able, why not go to Bristol for a day to two, visit Atmosphere, ETS and any others I've missed and try some bikes. Sit on them, pedal them - Park Street will sort out sheep from goats - lift them. Buying a bike is a bit like buying a suit. You need a fitting before you get it home. And if, like me, you are a non-standard size, you don't buy mail order.

Oh believe me I have no intention of buying anything mail order,after making a huge mistake in buying the Kudos without trying it. I just can't get on with it at all,and its £650 wasted. I have tried a couple of bikes out, a Gepedia Reptila 900 and a Raleigh Leeds,preferred the Gepedia but its expensive,and after buying the Kudos I'm not keen on chucking almost £ 1900 on another bike. I do intend trying a few more,liked the look and spec of the Juicy Sport or Merlin, and will try and get a test ride on one if I can. I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to bikes though,don't like the smaller wheeled ones, and prefer a gents bike.
That's much the same as me. I find that medium frames (50cm / 20") with the saddle raised up a bit are most comfortable. I wouldn't have thought you needed a small framed bike and you certainly shouldn't find it difficult to find a bike is suitable. Do you know what size the Kudos is?
At 29.5" inside leg you'd be fine on the Juicy Sport or Merlin. So it would certainly be worth the drive to try. I know that they have stock of the 2013 Sport at Swindon, but not the new "Click" range yet. It's a pity you couldn't make the NEC show which would have been a perfect opportunity for you to try a vast number of bikes.
Sorry but I don't know the frame size,doesn't really matter anymore,as next bike will be fully test ridden before I part with anymore money.
Its top of my list,plus a throttle. Seat height needs to be right though.
Oh ! Yes and the weight,looking more at the quoted weights as well now.
Why don't you just build your own ebike ?..... then you can pick any bike that suit you and fit you perfectly, from any number of bike shops that are near.
Then buy a kit for just over 400 quid.
You'll end up with an ebike that fits you perfectly and will be far lighter than your Kudos City.
