TIRED: Fast braking requires a firm hand. Range is middling. Battery indicator sneaks up on you. Not as petite as other JackRabbits. Technically a scooter, not an ebike. 不足之处：快速制动需要用力。续航能力一般。电池电量指示器容易让人措手不及。不如其他 JackRabbit 型号小巧。从技术上讲是滑板车，而非电动自行车。

I am not an obvious target customer for a cargo ebike, as I neither have kids to tote nor a large space for bike parking. But the new JackRabbit MG Cargo is so tiny, it doesn’t conjure the dully utilitarian, heedlessly bulky nature that’s common to other cargo ebike models. In fact, when I tested the wee, plucky ebike, I found its fat tires and tiny wheelbase make it feel more like a speedy urban dirt bike than anything else. 我并不是货运电动自行车的典型目标客户，因为我既没有孩子需要接送，也没有足够的空间停放自行车。但新款 JackRabbit MG Cargo 非常小巧，它没有其他货运电动自行车那种枯燥实用、笨重不堪的感觉。事实上，当我测试这辆小巧而活泼的电动自行车时，我发现它宽大的轮胎和极短的轴距让它感觉更像是一辆轻快的城市越野摩托车。

But despite being a relative lightweight (55 pounds) and petite enough to fit in the back seat of my old Montero, the MG sports a 750-watt motor that can haul nine times the bike’s weight uphill. I even threw a grill onto a bike trailer to test this claim, which held up. 尽管它相对轻便（55 磅），且小巧到可以放进我那辆旧 Montero 的后座，但 MG 配备了一台 750 瓦的电机，能够载重其自身重量的九倍上坡。我甚至把一个烤架放在自行车拖车上测试了这一说法，结果证明确实如此。

Note that like all JackRabbits WIRED testers have reviewed, the MG is less an ebike than a scooter that looks and acts like an ebike: Instead of pedals, you get pedal-like footrests, plus a throttle. This means when the battery runs out, the bike stops moving. Also, the listed 48-mile range drops considerably when you ride at top speed or haul a large load. Nonetheless, the MG may have converted me to the pannier class. 请注意，正如 WIRED 测试人员评估过的所有 JackRabbit 产品一样，MG 本质上更像是一辆外观和功能类似电动自行车的滑板车：它没有踏板，取而代之的是类似踏板的脚托和油门。这意味着当电池耗尽时，自行车就会停止行驶。此外，当以最高速度行驶或负载较重时，其标称的 48 英里续航里程会大幅下降。尽管如此，MG 可能已经让我成为了侧挂包的使用者。

After testing this MG for a couple of months, I no longer use my car when I need groceries, even when I’m taking a longer trek to the Grocery Outlet for discount steaks or salmon. The same is true when I want to haul a slushie machine across Portland’s steep mid-city ridge to a friend’s house for cheeky weekday margaritas. By not acting like a cargo bike, the MG has convinced me to haul cargo on a bike. 在测试这辆 MG 几个月后，我买菜时不再开车了，即使是去更远的 Grocery Outlet 购买打折牛排或三文鱼也是如此。当我想要把一台冰沙机运过波特兰陡峭的市中心山脊，送到朋友家去喝平日里的玛格丽特鸡尾酒时，情况也是一样。正是因为它不像一辆货运自行车，MG 说服了我开始用自行车运送货物。

“How exactly is this a cargo bike?” my editor asked when I showed her a photo of the MG Cargo after it arrived. She wasn’t asking out of wonderment. As mentioned, the MG flat-out looks less like a bike you’d use to haul stuff and more like a dirt bike. “这到底怎么算是一辆货运自行车？”当我把刚收到的 MG Cargo 照片给编辑看时，她问道。她并不是出于好奇。如前所述，MG 看起来确实不像是一辆用来载货的自行车，而更像是一辆越野摩托车。

JackRabbit is known for making lightweight, zippy, fun little scooter hybrids that physically resemble BMX trick bikes. I loved the easy mobility and high-speed capability of JackRabbit’s equally powerful XG Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) when I tested that model last year. I’d worried that the MG Cargo—18 pounds heavier and nearly a foot longer than the XG—would compromise too much on these virtues. I needn’t have worried. As I quickly learned, the pleasantly peppy MG rides like an off-road bike when you’re not hauling a big load. JackRabbit 以制造轻便、灵动、有趣的滑板车混合动力车而闻名，其外观类似于 BMX 特技自行车。去年测试 JackRabbit 同样强劲的 XG Pro（8/10，WIRED 推荐）时，我非常喜欢它便捷的机动性和高速性能。我曾担心比 XG 重 18 磅、长近一英尺的 MG Cargo 会在这些优点上大打折扣。但我多虑了。我很快发现，在不载重的情况下，动力十足的 MG 骑起来就像一辆越野自行车。

Its three throttle speeds max out at about 20 mph, 15 mph, and 7 mph, respectively. The lowest speed is manageable for a sidewalk, while the fastest hits top speed within about 50 feet on flat ground, unless you’ve got some weight behind (or on) you. The MG advertises a range of 48 miles, though I’ll assume this requires being a lighter rider who is gentle on the throttle. As a man north of 200 pounds with an admittedly heavy throttle thumb, I only made it to about 25 miles, even with minimal cargo. Because the bike’s battery indicator shows up as at least half-full for the vast majority of this range, you’ll need to test and learn your personal range when doing so is not mission-critical. 它的三个油门速度档位最高分别约为 20 英里/小时、15 英里/小时和 7 英里/小时。最低速度在人行道上很容易控制，而最高速度在平地上约 50 英尺内即可达到，除非你身后（或身上）载有重物。MG 宣称续航里程为 48 英里，但我认为这需要骑行者体重较轻且油门控制温柔。作为一个体重超过 200 磅且油门控制较重的男性，即使在几乎不载货的情况下，我也只能骑行约 25 英里。由于该车的电池指示器在绝大部分续航里程内都显示至少还有一半电量，因此你需要在非关键任务时测试并了解自己的个人续航里程。

Note that because JackRabbits don’t have working pedals, the bikes exist in an interesting technical gray area in some states in terms of their classification. Specifically, one could debate whether they’re really a Class 2 ebike that can ride on bike lanes and trails. Given the MG’s maximum speed of 20 mph—aside from an honor-system 24-mph jailbreak speed you can unlock for off-road riding—it mostly looks and quacks like a Class 2 ebike. In my experience, it’s also treated as such. 请注意，由于 JackRabbit 没有实际功能的踏板，这些自行车在某些州的分类上处于一个有趣的灰色地带。具体来说，人们可能会争论它们是否真的是可以在自行车道和步道上行驶的 2 级电动自行车。考虑到 MG 的最高速度为 20 英里/小时（除了越野骑行时可以解锁的 24 英里/小时“越狱”速度外），它看起来和表现得都像是一辆 2 级电动自行车。根据我的经验，它也被当作此类车辆对待。

The MG also offers nice customization options for accessorizing. It’s easy to add a couple of rear pannier bags to the rear mounting rack or side racks ($75) on each side, offering enough capacity for most small grocery trips or beach excursions without adding much bulk. You could also opt for a rear basket. MG 还提供了不错的配件定制选项。你可以轻松地在后安装架或两侧的侧架（75 美元）上增加几个后侧挂包，为大多数小型购物或海滩出游提供足够的容量，且不会增加太多体积。你也可以选择安装一个后篮。

While I can’t quite stow the MG as easily as other JackRabbit models, it’s still small enough that I can slide it into my back seat—as long as I uncork the front handlebars and turn its front wheel backward. (Some sources refer to the MG as “foldable,” but this isn’t strictly true: it just has a quick-release wheel and an easily removed handlebar.) 虽然我无法像其他 JackRabbit 型号那样轻松地收纳 MG，但它仍然足够小，只要我松开前把手并将前轮向后转，就能把它塞进我的后座。（一些资料称 MG 是“可折叠的”，但这并不完全准确：它只是有一个快拆轮和一个易于拆卸的车把。）

Which is to say, even without the cargo component, I could like the MG just as a fun little commuter, especially with the welcome addition of a cushy Kinekt active-suspension seat post that provides some added give for longer rides. 也就是说，即使不考虑货运功能，我也很喜欢 MG 作为一辆有趣的小型通勤车，特别是它增加了一个舒适的 Kinekt 主动悬挂座管，为长途骑行提供了额外的缓冲。

Despite its petite size, the MG performs well as a true cargo hauler that you could use to move trailers full of groceries or the more precious cargo of your own children. I didn’t borrow any kids to test rear child trailers or JackRabbit’s mini-me rear seat and handlebar set ($175). But I did use the MG’s preinstalled Burley trailer hitch to haul a box containing a 150-pound grill up a hill with a 7 percent grade. While the MG didn’t get to full speed on the ascent, it pulled the grill and my 200-plus-pound self surprisingly well. 尽管体积小巧，但 MG 作为真正的货运工具表现出色，你可以用它来拖运装满杂货的拖车，或者运送你孩子这样更珍贵的“货物”。我没有借用任何孩子来测试后置儿童拖车或 JackRabbit 的 mini-me 后座和车把套装（175 美元）。但我确实使用了 MG 预装的 Burley 拖车挂钩，拖着一个装有 150 磅烤架的箱子爬上了一个坡度为 7% 的山坡。虽然 MG 在上坡时没能达到全速，但它拖动烤架和我 200 多磅的体重表现得令人惊讶。

The MG’s stability and cornering capabilities also fared better than I expected, given its short base. Cargo bikes tend to lengthen their frame to add stability and make room for riders to pedal comfortably while carrying loads on the front or the back. The MG Cargo’s stability mostly comes from its cushy fat tires, largely thanks to the clever design of the larger front tire, which both adds stability up front on rugged terrain and lowers the center of gravity where cargo hangs. The lack of 考虑到其较短的轴距，MG 的稳定性和转弯能力也比我预期的要好。货运自行车通常会加长车架以增加稳定性，并为骑行者在前后载货时留出舒适的踩踏空间。MG Cargo 的稳定性主要来自其舒适的宽大轮胎，这在很大程度上归功于较大前轮的巧妙设计，它既增加了在崎岖地形上的前方稳定性，又降低了货物悬挂处的重心。缺乏
