My only significant difficulty – for which the e-Scrambler cannot be blamed – was getting on and off. A younger, more computer-savvy rider probably wouldn’t struggle, but for me it did not seem very intuitive – switching on the lights, for example, required at least 20 minutes of button-pressing, scrolling and soul-searching. Detaching and charging the battery was simple once I’d worked it out, though getting to grips with the digital dash took a while longer. Pootling around my local lanes, the e-Scrambler was delightfully smooth and stable, thanks to its low centre of gravity, Pirelli Cycl-e GT 2.35-inch-wide tyres and Suntour XCR 34 suspension fork absorbing the bumps. ![]() Another seating perk was that the seat post is spring-loaded, meaning saddle height is super-simple to adjust, even on the move. On this point, I didn’t ride far enough to test it, but the claimed range on a single charge is 75 miles.
