Electric bicycles come with added electric motors to make riding quicker, easier, and more fun. Throttle e-bikes don\u2019t even require pedaling at all, turning them into little electric mopeds. And that easy operation also opens the door to serious utility possibilities, such as effortlessly carrying a second rider on the back.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of dual-passenger e-bikes out there to choose from, and this Valentine\u2019s Day might be the perfect time to take a look.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

Several electric bicycle companies have come out with e-bike models that are either designed for two riders or can have a second passenger seat added as a factory-made accessory.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the ones we\u2019ve tested out.<\/p>\n

Rad Power Bikes<\/h2>\n

Rad Power Bikes is the largest electric bicycle company in North America\u2026 by a long shot. And so they know a thing or two about e-bikes, including e-bikes built for two.<\/p>\n

There are three models of e-bikes from Rad that are perfect for carrying passengers.<\/p>\n

The RadRunner and RadRunner Plus models<\/a> share the same moped-style frame and long rear rack built directly into the structure of the bike. That means they can support a lot of weight, as in your loved one riding on back (or a couple kids).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The RadRunner starts at $1,499<\/a>, but you\u2019ll want to add the $99 Passenger Package<\/a> accessory that lets you bolt on a comfy bench seat, foot pegs, and a clear wheel skirt that keeps any dangling feet out of the rear wheel.<\/p>\n

The RadRunner Plus is priced at $1,899<\/a>, but comes with the Passenger Package pre-installed. It also has a suspension fork, 7-speed drivetrain, and LCD display. When I reviewed the RadRunner Plus<\/a>, I called it one of the most utility-focused e-bikes I\u2019d ever tried.<\/p>\n

Both can reach speeds of 20 mph (32 km\/h) and have ranges of up to 45 miles (72 km), though you\u2019ll definitely get reduced range with a passenger on back.<\/p>\n
