The JackRabbit E-Bike is an ultra-compact take on electric bicycles that will provide urbanites with a way to easily get around without the need for larger equipment. The bike is designed with portability in mind and maintains a compact construction that is easy to carry up stairs thanks to its 24-pound weight or slip into an elevator. The bike is powered by a 300W hub motor in the rear that will deliver up to 336W of power when the Tesla-Panasonic INR21700 160Wh battery is fully charged.
The JackRabbit E-Bike is capable of delivering a top speed of 20mph on straightaways and can handle grade inclines of up to 12%. Riders can enjoy anywhere between nine and 18-miles of range, depending on charge.
