The JackRabbit OG<\/a> was the first electric micro-bike to gain a mass following in the US, racking up a community of over 30,000 riders \u2013 or \u201cJackos\u201d as they call themselves. Now the bike is getting a series of upgrades in the launch of its second-generation model: the JackRabbit OG2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, the JackRabbit isn\u2019t technically<\/em> an electric bicycle in the traditional sense, mostly because it eschews bicycle pedals in favor of foot pegs. <\/p>\n

Strictly speaking, that puts it into the seated scooter category. But it\u2019s often referred to in the industry as an electric micro-bike due to the use of key bicycle components such as the wheels, seat, and handlebar, all of which help give it a mostly bicycle-like riding sensation.<\/p>\n

JackRabbit<\/a> is not the only micro e-bike out there, but it\u2019s the only one to develop significant brand loyalty, largely thanks to its hyper-dedicated community of Jackos that have sprung up around the quirky ride. <\/p>\n

Likely second only to the e-bike brand SUPER73<\/a> when it comes to a zealous and exceedingly fervent fanbase, JackRabbit has been embraced by riders who land at the intersection of the Venn diagram between riders seeking the lightest, most convenient bike-like micromobility ride and folks who simply don\u2019t care too much what others think of how they look.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the JackRabbit admittedly looks a bit funny to ride due in no small part to its stubby wheelbase and diminutive stature. But whereas the JackRabbit OG was just about as small and minimalist as could be, the OG2 adds a bit more in the feature department without sacrificing much additional poundage.<\/p>\n
