Our Favorite Micro Electric Bike Just Got a Big Upgrade

The JackRabbit is a motorized electric bike that looks like a bicycle.

The OG2 Pro's 20-inch wheels, short wheelbase and angled geometry give it the profile of an old-school BMX .

The Pro model weighs a mere 30 pounds , light enough to one -hand it up a set of stairs.

The Jackrabbit handily fills a niche that's a hallmark of urban living.

JackRabbit 's new Pro line of electric bikes amp up power and range.

The OG2 Pro doubles this range with a larger RangeBuster battery that juices the motor to 500 watts.

The XG Pro is even more powerful, at 750 watts, and packs two batteries for 48 miles of theoretical range.

A Jackrabbit closely resembles an old-fashioned bicycle in the ease with which even an amateur with a wrench can make their own decisions, their own modifications, and their own repairs.

Most of the parts don't even need to come from JackRabbit , which is sized to be compatible with most basic bike parts.

With this extra range and juice, the Pro OG2 and XG Pro retain all the virtues of a lightweight and stowable micro bike, but remove most of the trade-off in utility.
