The RadRunner from Rad Power Bikes is a tried-and-true utility e-bike with impactful new safety & security upgrades. See how the bike performed in our review!
The RadRunner is extremely easy to use. Its single-speed drivetrain requires no shifting, and its motor’s cadence sensor allows for near-effortless pedaling.
The bike’s motor delivers steady and approachable power, making it feel both capable and controlled.
It has impressively crisp, nimble handling as a result of its rigid fork, 20” wheels, and BMX-style high-rise handlebars.
For improved safety, Rad equipped the bike with a potted Safeshield battery and hydraulic disc brakes.
A price of around $1,500 makes the Radrunner one of Rad Power Bikes’ most affordable models.
The appealing, easy-to-read color display offers appreciated features, such as maintenance reminders and a security pin on startup.
The RadRunner is compatible with a huge range of optional accessories, from a passenger kit to pet carriers to cargo bags/baskets and beyond!
The bike’s two color options (Classic Blue and Forest Green) add personality to the ride.
The included saddle wasn’t our team’s favorite, but Rad offers three alternate options for purchase separately.
While the bike’s programming makes pedaling easy, rebalanced power levels would make controlling speed easier when riding without cargo.

Check out my in-depth RadRunner Max review from Rad Power Bikes, testing its speed, 420-lb payload, and innovative radar tech for commuting and cargo. I explore pros, cons, and features to see if it’s worth your investment.
The 750W rear hub motor pumps out 90 Nm of torque, making quick work of steep hills and heavy loads. A torque sensor delivers natural, quiet pedal assist across five levels, so whether you’re climbing or cruising, it feels effortless. With a twist throttle and up to 28 mph in Class 3 mode, with plenty of grunt to handle the job.
Rad claims a 19–60+ mile range per charge on the RadRunner MAX. For longer trips, the optional Range Extender battery tucks under the rear rack, boosting range to over 120 miles.
The integrated rear radar scans 100 meters back, showing a real-time meter on the full-color display to track approaching cars, while the taillight flashes to alert drivers. Add in 450lumen (low beam)/750 lumen (high beam) headlights, turn signals, and hydraulic disc brakes, and you’ve got a setup that keeps you visible and safer in busy traffic.
With a 420-lb payload and a 120-lb rear rack, the Max hauls groceries, gear, or a passenger with ease, paired with a comfy saddle and 80mm suspension fork for a smooth ride. Over 330 accessory options—think baskets, seats, or panniers—let you tweak it for your specific needs. See Latest Price
