Oct 2020

Price: $1199.00 | Model Year: 2019 | An extremely versatile and affordable mid-fat tire bike, unique 20

Observations
  • An extremely versatile and affordable mid-fat tire bike, unique 20" x 3.3" tires provide comfort and good traction on any terrain, optional passenger kit turns the rear rack into a seat with foot rest pegs and skirt guard

  • Integrated lights and reflective tires keep you visible, two frame color options keep it fun, the single-speed drivetrain is reliable and quiet with a chain tensioner and alloy chainring guide to protect your pants or skirt clean while reducing drops

  • Large 180mm disc brake rotors provide excellent stopping power and control, both brake levers activate the backlight for safety and cut power to the motor, RAD optimized 750 watt geared hub motor is very capable... especially with the smaller wheel diameter

  • Twist throttle overrides pedal assist at all times for easy starts and extra power when needed, plastic pedals offer good traction but aren't as sturdy as tough as aluminum alloy, frame only comes in one size but the adjustable seat post and tall handlebar provides good fit for a range of riders, simple display and no USB charging option, optional console box does not lock, no suspension fork

Rad Power Radrunner

Aug 2020

The Rad Power RadRunner is a massively practical utility ebike at a very good price that also manages to be lots of fun. It has a couple of flaws you’ll want to fix straight away, but it’s such good value for money that they’re not dealbreakers. What we have here is a welded aluminium step-through frame with a built-in rear rack capable of carrying up to 54.4 kg (120lb in old money; Rad Power is American), propelled by a 48V Bafang rear-hub motor with a 672 Wh battery.
