JackRabbit XG, Practical Electric Moped Solution For Intensive Cities

JAKARTA - Large sizes are not always better, especially in the context of electric mopeds or small or unveiled electric motorcycles. With denser cities, large sizes and bulks become less practical. Therefore, the current trend is about reducing size - both physically and in terms of weights.

JackRabbit is one of the brands that has carried out this concept brilliantly. In fact, they have done so before this trend became popular, by launching their first small moped in 2018.

To complete their choice, quoted from the company's website, September 15, Jack Rabit released a new model that carries the same principle. Named JackRabbit XG, the old model suitably changed its name to JackRabbit OG, which is still available. As for the new XG, the price is almost double that from the old one to 1,749.99 US dollars or around Rp26 million, but this new version of performance and reach is also much increased.

JackRabbit XG appears in a classic design, with a sturdy upper tube housing two battery compartments. The range is made of a 6061-T6-coded aluminum alloy with a length of 53 inches or about 134 cm.

These batteries, which have obtained certification from UL, have an impressive reach, more than 32 km before need to be recharged. What makes them unique is the size of the battery that is compact and easy to put in the pocket. The battery capacity is also below the maximum limit for air transportation, allowing it to carry XG anywhere easily.

In terms of performance, JackRabbit XG is supported by a 500-watt rear motorbike. Just like OG, there is no pedal here, and this bike moves only through the thumb thrust. Even so, this bicycle is claimed to be able to climb slopes up to 12 degrees and is able to carry a rider with a maximum weight of 125 kg.

JackRabbit has been equipped with modern technology, including an easy-to-use digital screen that provides information about speed, power level, and an odometer. A sturdy 20-inch all-terrain tire provides a comfortable journey, while reliable braking power is provided by mechanical disc brakes on the front and rear with a 160mm rotor.

What makes it even more practical is his ability to fold easily and weigh lightly, only about 14 kg. With a compact design and advanced technology, Jack Rabbit XG is ready to be a practical transportation solution to deal with the crowd of cities.
