The new RadRunner Max takes Rad Power’s most popular model to the max with a fresh look, more power, cargo capacity, and features.

The “Be What You Want It To Be” E-Bike In this review of Rad Power Bikes’ RadRunner 3 Plus, we’ll explore how this model has evolved from its predecessors to become one of the best all-purpose e-bikes on the market. With e-bike popularity reaching new heights, more riders are looking for a versatile option that
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 utility electric bike with deep step-thru frame and custom tires that make it approachable, stable, and very capable. Increased gross weight capacity of 350 pounds, including 120lbs on the extended rear rack. Upgraded battery pack is easier to remove (even with optional locking console), dual display system, hydraulic disc brakes, and better foot peg positioning.
Excellent safety features including reflective puncture resistant tires, bright integrated headlight with running beam, rear light with side windows and brake activation, motor inhibiting brake levers, and a high quality bell. Tons great accessories including a passenger package, front and rear baskets and locking boxes, small and large bags, second battery, child seat, and trailer.
Redesigned saddle is thicker, can adjust forward and back, be tilted, and uses standard rails that work with a suspension post! Ergonomic grips, adjustable handlebar, large aluminum platform pedals, and adjustable kickstand work great. Motor activates smoothly but offers great power with 10% faster climbing ability. High capacity 672 watt hour battery, excellent charger.
Twist throttle is not limited by pedal assist, so you can use it at any time to get going or catch up to friends. The motor is powerful, but produces more noise. The bike only comes in one size and color: metallic dark grey. Shipping is free in most cases, but there is some unboxing and assembly required: handlebar, front wheel, and pedals. Fairly heavy at 75.5lbs due to the elongated frame, 7-speed drivetrain, and suspension fork.
