4/18/2023 0 Comments Rad electric bikes![]() ![]() With the passenger kit on back, I’ve carried my nephews along with me for a three-up trifecta of e-bike fun! You can do just about anything with this e-bike. Even if you want to take it easy and hammer on the throttle, 25 miles (40 km) of range is easily doable.īut once you start adding your own pedal power to the motor assist, you can easily tack on another 50-100% more range from the battery.īut it’s not just a practical bike with plenty of speed, power and range – the real magic here is the utility. That 750 watt motor offers plenty of torque, plus the smaller diameter 20″ wheels help the torque equation even further, so between the powerful assist and your own added sweat equity, you’d be hard-pressed to find a hill you couldn’t climb on this e-bike.Īnd with that 672 Wh battery, you’ve got more range than most cities would require. And with the upgraded 7-speed Shimano transmission, even steep hills are manageable on the RadRunner Plus. The bike is a 20 mph (32 km/h) Class 2 e-bike with a throttle, so you can either zip around with the throttle to make quick work of a commute, or you can use the five different levels of pedal assist to get in a good workout. It’s pretty cool how short riders and tall riders can feel comfortable on the same bike, and that most people will be able to flatfoot it at stops. Taller riders can either lift the seat or scooch back onto the long bench portion of the seat. It’s got a nice low frame and is easy to mount with its step-through design, meaning short riders and anyone with mobility concerns in their legs/hips will feel comfortable on it.īut with an adjustable seat, it does what almost no other moped-style e-bike can do by adjusting to fit the rider. Designed to do everythingįirst of all, consider that just about anyone can fit on this bike. To put it simply: If there’s something that needs doing, the RadRunner can probably do it.īuilt for everyone. So in addition to everything you get with a base model RadRunner, you also get an upgraded LCD display, larger headlight, front suspension, fenders, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain and the rear passenger kit including the padded seat, foot pegs, and wheel cover (that clear plastic shield to protect passengers from touching the rear wheel).Įach of these is a huge upgrade that makes the RadRunner Plus such a potent e-bike for nearly every use case. There were only a few small areas where I saw room for improvement in the original RadRunner design, and apparently Rad Power Bikes had the exact same train of thought as I did, because they hit the nail on the head with each of the upgrades on the RadRunner Plus. The awesome little moped-style utility bike took the cargo and passenger features of the RadWagon e-bike and combined them with the smaller format of Rad’s folding e-bikes. When Rad Power Bikes first rolled out the original RadRunner e-bike, I was in love. The RadRunner Plus e-bike builds upon the classic RadRunner design that first debuted in 2019, yet adds a number of upgraded features for even more utility than ever before. Extras: sturdy center kickstand, LCD display with complete data readout, included head/tail/brake LED lights, bell, 5 pedal assist settings, half-twist throttle, passenger package, fenders, suspension fork, 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, wide range of accessory add-ons.Range: 45-72 km (25-45 mi) depending on user input.Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Plus tech specs Then keep reading for all of the details on this fun little e-bike that can do just about anything. To watch this awesome e-bike in action, check out my video review below. And the RadRunner Plus is one of the best examples of that design freedom we’ve seen yet in the industry. ![]() That has opened to door to interesting designs that specialize in all aspects of transportation and recreation. With the assistance of an efficient electric motor, e-bikes don’t suffer from the same design constraints as pedal bikes. One of my favorite aspects of electric bicycles is that they have helped usher in a new age of revolutionary design. But if I had to choose one single e-bike that could handle as many different daily tasks and types of riding as possible, I think it would be the RadRunner Plus. ![]() I may have ridden some e-bikes that go faster or carry more passengers or fulfill any number of specific niches. The RadRunner Plus from Rad Power Bikes is perhaps one of my favorite all-time, do-anything electric bicycles – and that’s coming from someone with hundreds of electric bike reviews under his belt. ![]()
