JackRabbit is best known for its pint-sized micro EVs, but it’s expanding into new territory while keeping its core ethos intact: lightweight, portable, and smile-inducing rides.
With the latest JackRabbit MG Doble, we’ve been reviewing a two-rider-capable design that still feels very “JackRabbit,”
yet it’s also one of their most approachable versions yet. It remains relatively compact and portable but is more stretched out, with larger tires that improve stability and help it feel less twitchy than earlier models.
It’s sharp, sporty, and spunky, and surprisingly powerful. The 749W motor has no need for pedals (which is good, because there aren’t any) and easily throttles up steep slopes or cruises to 20 mph just fine (or even 24
mph in its off-road mode).
The MG Doble is also impressively comfortable thanks to a wide, plush bench seat that genuinely fits two riders, plus sturdy, not flimsy, metal footpegs that inspire confidence even when standing on them. Beyond being a blast to ride, it’s practical too: the frame and rigid fork feature numerous mounts for carrying gear, and its small-but-mighty frame supports up to 325 lbs.
Interestingly, the only faults I found were by design — changes made based on feedback from existing JackRabbit riders. The batteries don’t include locks by default, and while the hybrid hydraulic brakes work effectively, I’d personally prefer a conventional hydraulic setup. Still, “different strokes for different folks,” as they say. The brand is given people what they want.
