JackRabbit OG2: 151.2 Wh, and No Pedals

JackRabbit’s OG2 page is $1,249.99, 25 pounds, and 20 mph. The motor is a 300-watt rear hub. The pack is 36 volts and 4.2 amp-hours, and the page already prints 151.2 watt-hours. Thirty-six times 4.2 is 151.2. The range chip is 10-plus miles. There are no pedals. A bicycle class needs pedals. The OG2 Pro on the same shop is a different bike, 500 watts and $1,649.99. No public measured loop of the OG2 turned up. This desk did not ride it.

The short answer

The JackRabbit OG2 is $1,249.99 and 25 pounds. The pack is 36 volts and 4.2 amp-hours, printed as 151.2 watt-hours. Thirty-six times 4.2 is 151.2. Range is 10-plus miles. The motor is a 300-watt hub. There are no pedals, so it is not Class 1, 2, or 3. The OG2 Pro is 500 watts and $1,649.99.

The JackRabbit OG2 is a folding micro bike with no pedals. The product page prints the pack as Li-Ion 36V 4.2Ah 151.2Wh. Thirty-six times 4.2 is 151.2, so that watt-hour line is the multiplication, not a second battery. The motor is a 300-watt rear hub. Speed modes are 7, 15, and 20 mph. The weight line is 25 pounds. The price is $1,249.99. The range chip is 10-plus miles, with the star that says it depends on weight, power, road, and weather. If the plus is ignored and the 10 is the whole pack, 151.2 divided by 10 is 15.1 watt-hours a mile. The page does not say the 10 was an empty pack. The watt-hour page is the 151.2. The range page is why a plus sign is not a loop.

No pedals means no class

The page prints zero pedals. A low-speed electric bicycle has to have them.

The spec cell says Pedals: 0 (sweat-free). The shop page says 100 percent electric, no pedals. Federal Class 1, 2, and 3 all need operable pedals, a motor under 750 watts, and a motor-only speed that stops at 20 mph. Three hundred watts is under 750, and 20 mph is the Class 2 cap, and the missing pedals still fail the test. The class chart is that sentence. The page also says the pack is tested to UL 2271 and UL 2272, and the bike to CPSC 16 CFR 1512. Part 1512 is a bicycle standard. A machine with no pedals is an odd fit for it. This desk did not see the certificates.

The charger is 1.7 amps

The charger is 42 volts and 1.7 amps out. Four point two divided by 1.7 is 2.5 hours of amp-hours, if the pack took 1.7 amps the whole way, which a real charge does not. The page says about 3 hours. A spare pack is $224.99. The bike folds to 45.5 by 7 by 30.5 inches, and the ride size is 48.5 by 21 by 39. JackRabbit says the pack can come off for a plane and the rest goes in a bag. That is their travel claim. It is not a watt-hour. No public ride that emptied this 151.2 watt-hour pack turned up. This desk did not ride it.

Questions people ask

How big is the JackRabbit OG2 battery?+

The page prints 36 volts, 4.2 amp-hours, and 151.2 watt-hours. Thirty-six times 4.2 is 151.2, so the watt-hour line is the multiplication. A spare pack is $224.99.

How far does the JackRabbit OG2 go?+

The chip says 10-plus miles. If the plus is ignored, 151.2 divided by 10 is 15.1 watt-hours a mile. The page does not say the 10 miles emptied the pack. This desk did not measure a loop.

Is the JackRabbit OG2 a Class 2 e-bike?+

No. Speed modes stop at 20 mph and the motor is 300 watts, which is under 750, but the page prints zero pedals. A class bicycle has to have operable pedals.
