The “Be What You Want It To Be” E-Bike In this review of Rad Power Bikes’ new RadRunner 3 Plus electric bike, you will learn how this bike has evolved from its predecessors to become one of the best all-purpose e-bikes around. E-bike popularity is soaring to new heights, and more new riders want an
One of the most versatile e-bikes on the market. It can commute, haul, cruise – you name it. The frame styling, 350 lbs payload capacity and available accessories make it adaptable to whatever you need an e-bike to do…
…The available accessory packages leave you wanting for nothing. Optimized second passenger setups (adults or kids), heavy-duty hard shell panniers with locks for fighting the elements or thieves, and the debut of the Rad Trailer that’s Runner 3 Plus compatible for taking another 100 lbs of cargo or pets with the pet trailer insert.
The longer rack and higher weight capacity makes this the most capable Runner to date. It’s even roomier for hauling passengers & cargo.
New and improved frame design is stronger and stiffer than its siblings, giving improved handling while still fitting 4’10” to 6’2” riders.
It’s arguably the best feeling Runner to date. The motor provides great acceleration, and does very well on hills. Handling with the BMX-style riser bar is top notch and has a well-balanced feel on the 3.3” tires.
Everybody can pick their preferred pace thanks to appreciable jumps in speed along the PAS levels.
Plenty of comfort from top to bottom: 17” standover height, new and improved saddle, 60mm travel on the suspension fork, upright riding position, and more add up to a ride that’s easy on the rider.
While not yet available, the fact that you’ll soon be able to add a second battery under the rear rack that will double your range will be such a welcome feature!
It’s a bike that has style and function. Previous Runners didn’t look this sleek, and the semi-integrated battery should be a blueprint for how to see the battery in a way that doesn’t feel like the e-bike is from 2018.
It’s a bit nitpicky since overall the looks department got a huge upgrade, but the cable management could be better as there are a lot of exposed connections, and the paint job looks nice but there’s just one color available.
Previous Runner models had a dual-leg kickstand while this model uses a single-sided one. It’s generally easier to use than the dual-leg one, but for those loading the bike with cargo the upright angle provided from the dual-sided one was more convenient.

A flexible, approachable, and affordable electric utility bike. Capable of handling up to 300lbs, including a child seat or passenger on the rear rack! Custom sized 20" x 3.3" tires provide stability, comfort, off-road traction, and safety with reflective stripes and puncture protection. Only one frame size, but the extra long 390mm seat post and adjustable handlebar provide lots of fit options.
Available in two colors, internal cable routing looks clean and reduces snags, motor power cable is very well protected, all supporting hardware is black. Two bottle cage bosses double as a console box mount! Tons great accessories including fenders, racks, bags, child seat, passenger kit etc. Refined frame geometry improves stability. Upgraded saddle is thicker for more comfort.
Fairly affordable considering the high-powered motor, high-capacity 672 watt hour battery pack, and great customer support. Improved battery charger is silent, compact, lightweight, and better shielded than previous generations. Capable mechanical disc brakes use large 180mm rotors for excellent stopping power and cooling. High-resolution cadence sensor is responsive, twist throttle can be turned off with a switch.
Mechanical disc brakes require additional hand effort, aren't as adjustable, and set-in over time compared to hydraulic. The bike weighs a lot because it's reinforced to be stiff and handle a passenger or heavy load. Basic display offers limited readouts, no USB charging, and is fairly bright. Only available in one frame size, single-speed drivetrain limits cadence options.
