JackRabbit MG Cargo Bike Review (2026): Compact and Powerful
The JackRabbit MG Cargo is a compact electric cargo bike that combines a 750-watt motor with a lightweight, 55-pound frame. A reviewer found it nimble and quick when riding without a load, yet capable of carrying heavy cargo uphill, making it practical for errands despite its unusual scooter-like design.
It has a claimed range of 48 miles, but the reviewer travelled about 25 miles on a charge while weighing 200 pounds and using the throttle heavily. The bike has three speed settings, reaching up to 20 mph, and uses footrests and a throttle instead of working pedals, which may complicate its classification in some states. Rear racks, side racks and pannier bags provide options for carrying groceries and other items.
