I don't know if this bike fits better in bicycle or motorcycle, so better cover all the bases. More info in > E-scooter and E-motorcycle pics/vid > Jackal+BLDC+LFP.

Wow .. now that's one sweet EV !

Specs ? motor? batts ?

Build it yourself ?

Could just be the photo, but it looks weak around the head tube area.

Hey roller,

nice bike, considered a jackal myself at one point but i was put off by the big ass platforms for your feet, quite like the pedals though and your right they must give good grip.
Do you have any video of the bike in action? it has the kind of travel in the forks and rear that i will be getting on my next bike so i would love to see what it can do ?


Cheers

To make your feet stick into pedals, I've heard a lot of good about powergrips

hey guys, more juice about these tidbits in the E-motorcycle Photo/Vid section.


I love powergrips. they're on my MTB and I couldn't imagine riding without them (unless I'm stuck with my boots on riding my bike, 'cause those won't fit in 'em). It hadn't ocurred to me to put them on this. . . hmm.

no vid yet, deecanio. just photo teases and some conjecture. I don't even have real data yet. (working on that)

Straps are somewhat useful if you pedal, but aren't if you don't, and you can accidentally get stuck so you fail to remove your feet in time when you stop, in which case you fall over. The odds of that are low, but nonzero. You need something in which you can easily, quickly, and reliably remove your feet.
