Hi! We’re JackRabbit: a micro eBike named "Best Micro eBike" by WIRED 2021-2023. And were on a mission to make the world more electric. At only 24lbs were perfect for small spaces, but still pack a punch with 20mph of pure electric power. We purposely designed JackRabbit to be super portable, so you can throw it into an RV, car, boat, a closet, or carry it inside to reduce the risk of it being stolen. And, we wanted to create a more affordable yet still premium-quality electric option (were about half the price of most eBikes), so that even more people have a quick, easy and gas-free way to get around.
