New 720Wh Safe Shield battery provides an unusual level of safety and is certified to UL 2271 & 2849

New 750W brushless, geared hub motor now produces 90Nm of torque, making it a better climber

Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer exceptional stopping power. It’s one of our top cargo brake tests to date.

The wide range 11-34t freewheel makes the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain much more effective than we find on many other 7-speed e-bikes

Rear cargo deck has a 120-lb. carrying capacity

Rad Power offers a wide range of accessories to outfit the RadWagon 5 for hauling both kids and stuff

The big handle on the rear of the saddle make this cargo e-bike much easier to handle

The change to 20-in. wheels from 22-in. wheels means that replacement tires (and tubes) will be much easier to source

We would like to see the charger upgraded from 2A to speed charging

Cable management could be cleaner

We love the new motor. While the output is still rated at 750W, the torque has been increased to 90Nm which will help riders get up hills and accelerate up to speed.

The 720Wh Safe Shield battery is one of the best-made, safest batteries on the market. It is certified to UL’s 2271 standard, and the entire electronics system is certified to 2849.

The addition of a torque sensor will make the RadWagon 5 more responsive to the rider’s pedaling effort and will give motor power as soon as a rider pushes a pedal. The torque sensor has also helped the RadWagon’s range to grow from 45 mi. to 60 mi. (estimated)

The switch to 20 in. wheels means that replacement tires will be available at most bike shops, rather than only through Rad Power Bikes. See Latest Price
