BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

11 reasons to buy

  • A tester praises the smooth, controlled acceleration and balanced spread of power across the three modes.
  • The MG Cargo can carry up to 500lb, including 250lb on the rear rack.
  • In a range test using max power, a 210lb reviewer gets 33.2 miles on a paved route.
  • On one publication's standardized hill test, the MG Cargo climbs faster than the utility-style e-bike average.
  • The MG Cargo comes with a front light, a rear light, fenders, and a cargo rack with a wooden platform.
  • An expert says the 3” tires cushion the ride over bumpy pavement.
  • The 4A charger returns quick charging times.
  • At a tested 56lb, the MG Cargo is relatively easy to lift and carry.

  • The handlebars and footpegs fold flat for compact storage.
  • Assembly is tool-free and quick.

8 reasons not to buy

  • The hybrid hydraulic brakes deliver below-average stopping power and require significant hand strength.
  • An expert says the handling is slightly twitchy, and it can be difficult to balance at low speeds when loaded with cargo.
  • A 5’11” reviewer finds the 610mm handlebars narrow.
  • The batteries don't lock, so they must be carried when leaving the bike locked.
  • A tester complains of frame flex when riding with cargo.
  • The taillight lacks brake activation.
  • A reviewer complains that the dual-legged kickstand is too narrow and feels unstable when loading cargo.
  • The below-average IPX4 water rating means the bike shouldn’t be ridden in heavy rain.

Bottom line

JackRabbit’s MG Cargo is a utility e-scooter with the look of an e-bike. The high payload capacity, ample mounting points, and optional accessories provide solid cargo-carrying potential. The sole reviewer appreciates the smooth acceleration, climbing performance, long range, and decent ride comfort. The low weight also impresses. However, the bike lacks stability when fully loaded, the brakes are weak, and the kickstand is too narrow. One publication calls the JackRabbit MG Cargo a practical and enjoyable ride, but it's expensive for what it is.
