New, Green Travel Innovation

San Diego, CA based mobility company JackRabbit has created a unique micro electric bike called Jack Rabbit.  The bike does not have traditional pedals so it's a cross between a bike and a scooter.  Jack Rabbit is for urban commuters. It is very lightweight and folds into a small shape for storage.  There is a 300 W geared motor in the bike's rear tire and a 158 Wh removable battery on top of the frame.  With the push of the throttle on the handlebars, it can speed up to 20 mph.  The range on a charge is 12 miles.  It's the invention of University of California at San Diego coach Tom Piszkin to enable better e-bike commuting and e-bike ownership for university students and city commuters.

Lightweight and Foldable

Piszkin is the co-founder of JackRabbit.  He designed the e-bike to be lightweight at 24 pounds.  And, incredibly, it can be folded down to a width of 7 inches for easy storage.  This bike is very new and it is growing in popularity particularly among boaters and RV owners, who need a light and easily stored extra ride.  It's also one of the few e-bikes that clears airline and TSA requirements for plane travel.  

Available for Purchase

JackRabbit is available for purchase at $1,199 and add-ons like a rear rack and extra battery can also be purchased.  The electric vehicle has 20" wheels with a wider tire in the rear to compensate for the lack of suspension.  It also has a single disc brake and a rigid bike fork in the front.  It's a small e-bike that private investors and biking enthusiasts find an intriguing means to further accelerate e-bike usage and to provide yet another innovative boost to the multi-billion-dollar, global e-bike industry.  To take a look at more epic rides, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B09NV2T6N3&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_NK6NHFV028H0N65CHTBA
