![]() 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 300 lumen headlight provides enough light to be seen and see, and is sufficiently powerful enough for getting out of the woods past nightfall.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. I was able to do the commute to do 30 mile round trips to and from work on a full charge while using level three (of five) assistance and using the throttle to get over some of the bigger hills on the route. The claimed range of 25 to 45 miles seems accurate. I was initially uncertain about the throttle, but quickly found that when the bike is fully loaded up it is really nice to use the throttle to get going while balancing yourself with your feet on the ground and then start pedaling once you get going and balanced. The assist made reaching the work sites faster and easier, so I could potentially do more trail work per session. Once at the trail head, I unfolded the Mini, loaded my arsenal of tools on the bike's racks, and zipped my way up the trail. The weight of the Mini exceeded my bike racks weight limit, but the folding aspect made it easy to throw in the back of my SUV with chainsaw, trailer, weed whacker and any other tools I needed that day. I used the Mini for doing maintenance on local mountain bike trails. The rear rack is rated to carry up to 40 pounds.
