The RadRunner line of short-tail cargo/utility e-bikes is iconic.
Since the first model was released in 2019, the series has featured heavy-duty, accessory-compatible cargo racks and manageably-sized, easy-to-mount frames. When combined with the steady and approachable pedal assist Rad Power Bikes is
known for, these features make all RadRunner models capable, reliable, and extremely versatile.
Along with the brand itself, Rad Power’s RadRunner line has gone through quite an evolution. Most recently, the company simplified its naming conventions and re-released its three utility models: the basic RadRunner we’ll focus on in this review, the upgraded RadRunner Plus, and the high-tech RadRunner Max.
Most similar to the former RadRunner 2, the RadRunner is an entry-level e-bike that prioritizes affordability; its roughly $1,500 price point makes it one of Rad’s lowest-priced e-bikes. Still, with a respectable 320-lb payload capacity, a robust 750W motor, and an easy-to-use interface & pedal assist system, it doesn’t sacrifice functionality.
