information – JackRabbit electric bikes are now available at https://jackrabbit.bike/ For $1199.99, you don’t need to pedal. Because you can’t.
Under the right conditions, this bike should have a range of 12 miles and a top speed of 20 mph, which means the road is very flat or downhill. The bike doesn’t have a lot of climbing ability, so you may have to “walk” in some situations. But thanks to the shortened wheelbase, the bike looks fun and is easy to store. If “folded”, i.e. without the handlebars, it is only 7 inches wide. One reviewer claims it can fit behind a car seat and doesn’t even need to be in the trunk.
The JackRabbit weighs a mere 24 pounds and houses a 300-watt motor in the rear hub. It has fat 20-inch tires and a 36-volt, 4.2-Ah lithium-ion battery that charges in under 2 hours. A spare battery is $199.99.
If you’re under 240 pounds, the JackRabbit will accept you as a rider and provide a “sweat-free fun” ride. As long as you get to your destination before the battery runs out. JackRabbit is available in four colors, black, white, yellow and electric blue.
