2022 Rad Power Bikes

RadRunner

Easy riding

Steady handling

Big load capacity well put together for the price

Doesn t like big hills

Kickstand could be better

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.
