For This Bike
Dec 2020
If you’re looking to dip your toe into the waters of cargo biking, then the Rad Power Bikes Radwagon 4 is a brilliant first bike. It’s very usable and easy to ride, and you can get accessories to carry all kinds of things. The motor’s not powerful enough to haul big loads up big hills, and some of the bits won’t survive too much heavy use, but it’s still a bargain. The RadWagon has been about for a considerable while, and you won’t be surprised to learn that the RadWagon 4 is, erm, the fourth generation.

Price: $1499.00 | Model Year: 2020 | An affordable but refined electric cargo bike with custom 22
An affordable but refined electric cargo bike with custom 22" x 3.0" tires that improve stability and comfort while still keeping the cargo holds low and easy to load. Approachable but stiff mid-step frame comes in three beautiful colors. Reflective tires and quality integrated lights help keep you visible and safe
Powerful fat-bike rated 80nm geared hub motor provides excellent power for starting, hauling gear or passengers, and climbing. Steel torque arm spreads motor forces into frame instead of chewing up the dropouts. Respectable 11-34 tooth cassette is nickel coated for durability, upgraded Shimano Acera derailleur should be reliable, and is protected by a steel derailleur guard.
Extra-strong steel double-leg kickstand keeps the bike stable for loading and unloading, wide plastic fenders keep you dry, aluminum chain guide protects the chainring and your pant legs or dress ends, neoprene slap guard protects the paint and reduces noise from chain bounce. Lots of adjustability for fit including telescoping seat post, tool-free adjustable stem, and swept-back handlebars.
No suspension fork, but the high-volume tires and ergonomic grips improve comfort while reducing weight, cost, and frame flex. Mostly sold direct-online, but Rad has three physical locations in US, Canada, and Europe, as well as mobile delivery vans for setup and service. Basic shifter and grayscale LCD that's not removable, but it does have a USB charging port built-in

With over 200km of heavy loads carried so far, the bright orange workhorse has shuttled loads around urban centres quite happily, though it’s not without its faults
Wide range of load-carrying accessories available, sturdy build results in minimal flex, easy to read display, always-on lighting, stable handling
Super heavy, tubing around rear rack is just too thick, occasional power control quirks, relatively un-responsive motor compared to bigger brands

Legit e-cargo bikes used to cost used-car money. Now there’s little reason to spend a dime over $1,500.
Comes with lights, fenders, and a kickstand
Throttle gets you off the line more easily
Less powerful up steep hills than e-cargo bikes with mid-drive motors
