JackRabbit, based in San Diego, have released their 2.0 version of the JackRabbit, a tiny e bike (or better classified as an electric scooter with a seat due to non-functioning pedals)
The JackRabbit electric bike features 20” wheels, rare for such a tiny bike, and a wider rear tyre on the rear in order to compensate of a lack of suspension. The e bike also includes a rigid front fork and a single disc brakes on the rear. The JackRabbit electric bike is equipped with a 1.95″ wide front tire and a 2.5″ knobby rear tire for balance and like an e-scooter a mechanical rear caliper brake.
The mini monster packs a 300W hub motor in the rear and a removable 158Wh located in the top of the frame. This combination can push the bike up to a maximum assisted speed of 20mph. Altogether this bike claims to be able to support 12 miles of assisted riding. Weighing in at just 10.9 kg, it is also a very light vehicle. The battery is also so small, it qualifies to be carried on airplanes, as the battery limit imposed by the TSA and many airlines is 160Wh.
