Cargo bikes have a weight problem. JackRabbit just fixed it. JackRabbit Mobility announced the launch of the JackRabbit MG Cargo, a new ultra-lightweight electric cargo bike built for people who want real utility without the bulk, awkward handling, and storage headaches of traditional cargo ebikes.
At just 55 lbs, the MG Cargo weighs nearly half as much as many leading cargo electric bikes, yet carries up to 500 lbs of balanced payload – 10x its own weight and nearly double the payload-to-weight efficiency of typical cargo ebikes. And, the MG Cargo is foldable to easily fit in any packed garage or small space.
Think of it as the compact SUV of the cargo bike market. Big capability, smaller footprint, and built for everyday life.
“We kept hearing the same thing: cargo bikes are useful, but they’re huge, heavy, and a pain to deal with,” said Jason Kenagy, CEO of JackRabbit Mobility. “So, we built one the JackRabbit way – lightweight, modular, portable, and genuinely fun to ride.”
Traditional cargo electric bikes often require sacrificing maneuverability, storage space, and ease of use. The MG Cargo was engineered to eliminate those tradeoffs.
Its lightweight design makes it easier to ride, easier to turn, easier to lift onto a bike rack or into a vehicle, and easier to store when the ride is over. A folding-flat frame allows the MG Cargo to collapse down to just 8 inches wide, making it ideal for garages, apartments, campers, RVs, boats, and tighter storage spaces. For even more compact transport, riders can quickly remove the handlebars and front wheel.
Whether it’s school pickup, grocery runs, campground hauling, commuting, or weekend adventures, the MG Cargo is built to fit into real homes and real routines. And, with BMX-inspired styling and clean lines, the MG Cargo brings personality back to a category that forgot about style and enjoyment. It works hard during the week, and makes riders feel like a kid again on the weekend.
