Call it what you want
Unofficially, you'll hear it called a "micro e-Bike", a "scooter-bike", or sometimes even “the baby of a bike and a scooter.” Believe us, we've heard it all. The vibe is flexible.
Designed for riding on public streets. Just ask the State DMV.
You've seen rental e-scooters out there. They're legal, and since technically we're one of them, so are we.

Ahead of it’s Time
Every “how did I ever live without this?” started with “what the f*ck is that?”
The car looked ridiculous next to the horse. Everyone laughed at the smartphone before they started carrying it in their pocket. Every big cultural shift starts the same way: As a thing people aren’t quite sure how to categorize yet.

JackRabbit
We didn’t start this, we just do it best
JackRabbit didn’t invent the two-wheeled vehicle, but we did pioneer the micro-mobility industry. Wired doesn’t call us the “Original Micro eBike”...and "the most useful e-Bike" for nothing. A growing wave of micromobility options have been proving the same thing for years: most trips don’t need four wheels, a trunk, or a parking spot. We’re proud to be early to the party.

For the hardcore NIMBYs, grouches, and insufferable authoritarians... JackRabbit does the homework.
