Rad Power Bikes, one of the most well-known electric bike brands in the US, has just announced the launch of three new RadRunner models<\/a>. The updates bring new hardware and software to the popular line of compact utility e-bikes and introduce a brand new RadRunner trim known as the RadRunner Max.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2019<\/a>, the RadRunner has defined a new category short tail cargo e-bikes, often referred to as utility e-bikes. Combining aspects of agile mopeds, compact folding bikes, and heavy duty cargo e-bikes, the RadRunner line has become a do-anything style of bike designed for folks tackling many jobs with a single e-bike.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s unveiling of the new RadRunner, RadRunner Plus, and RadRunner Max marks the latest evolution in that lineup.<\/p>\n

The three models share a similar frame and much of the same hardware, offering Rad\u2019s SafeShield UL-listed batteries with thermal-resistant technology, hydraulic brakes, higher payloads, all-terrain tires in standard sizes for ease of replacement, IPX6 water-resistance, and new passcode protection for anti-theft.<\/p>\n

But despite their similarities, the three models carry unique features and loadouts.<\/p>\n

The new RadRunner is a Class 2 e-bike, meaning speeds limited to 20 mph (32 km\/h) and a motor power limit of 750W. It has an upgrade 320 lb total payload, a 65 Nm torque rating, and a range of 55 miles (88 km).<\/p>\n

While it has the option to mount a number of interesting accessories, the new RadRunner Plus comes standard with many of those add-ons. The RadRunner Plus maintains the Class 2 performance but includes passenger carrying gear like foot pegs, a rear bench seat, and protective wheel skirt. A higher torque 70 Nm motor offers more strength for multiple riders and the inclusion of a suspension fork helps smooth out the ride. <\/p>\n

The RadRunner Plus is also compatible with a new RangeExtender accessory offered by Rad, which adds more battery capacity to the bike and enables longer rides or fewer recharges each week for regular riders.<\/p>\n

The new RadRunner Max is now the company\u2019s top-of-the-line RadRunner and ups the ante with Class 3 performance. The bike\u2019s top speed of 28 mph (45 km\/h) provides faster riding, though the speed limit can of course be adjusted by the owner if higher speeds aren\u2019t desired. The RadRunner Max\u2019s torque sensor provides a smoother and more natural feeling pedal assist experience, and the company says that it has been tuned to \u201creplicate the smooth, responsive feel of accelerating in a car, minus the emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RadRunner Max also includes Apple FindMy location tracking built into the e-bike and a digital key that lets riders unlock the bike simply by approaching it with their phone in their pocket. A new radar feature even alerts riders to approaching vehicles with a warning directly on the bike\u2019s display.<\/p>\n
