How Fast?	Top speeds from 20-50mph, you decide, we'll design. Base model is 40mph. Half-speed function (go far vs. go fast) at the flip of a switch is an available accessory.
How Far?	Range, of course, is dependant on a multitude of factors. Base model can regularly achieve 15-20 mi, and up to 25+mi in extremely cautious riding. It is recommended for the life of batteries to not regularly discharge below 75%. This relates to a cycle range of 15mi for longest battery life.
How long to charge?	Stock Soneil 3A cc charger recovers about 5 miles per hour of charge, thus full charge in 3-4 hours. Upgrade charger (9A) available on request; full charge in about 1 hour. Always charge immediately after use. Do not let batteries sit in a low state of charge.
Is it street legal?	That's up to you. You must know the laws of your streets for mopeds/motorized bicycles, etc. It's different in every state and sometimes varies county and city wide. Tell us the max speed and power you want and the vehicle will comply. We can negotiate installation of the lights of your choice but we do not offer a standard light package. You can also talk to us about building lower-power commuter oriented electric or human-hybrid electric vehicles. Prices will be similar to the Jackal.
How reliable?	The Jackal is built around "off-the-shelf" proven components. It does not rely on 'the latest' technologies that will develop problems in the field. It is a 'bare bones' system based on simplicity, few bells and whistles, less to go wrong. The electrical system and mechanical structure are designed with considerable factor of safety against failure due to normal loading. TS Motors has been building electric drag race motorcycles for over 4 years, with stringent technical criteria for race worthiness and rider safety. This experience, craftsmanship and attention to detail has been directly applied to the design and manufacture of the Jackal. Purchasing a vehicle directly from TS Motors gives you direct contact with the hands that put it together. We can answer your questions and provide service and support for our products in the event of any problem. Please refer to the Jackal Manual for more ownership and warranty information.
Why the platform?	The platform serves multiple purposes. Click the link to find out more.
Do I get a kickstand?	No. Kickstands are bad. On the Jackal they reduce ground clearance, increasing chances of hang-up. They also invite people to use your bike as a chair when you're not looking.
How do I program it?	RS-232 or 'straight-through' DB-9 pin connector to a serial port on your PC. Must have Windows XP or NT and the free software from the manufacturer. Connect to Jackal controller via program port on top of power pack, no disassembly required. Change parameters such as output power, throttle response rate and ramp shape, voltage limits, . . . in seconds. *Do not charge the bike and program the controller at the same time!
