Rad Power Bikes RadRunner 3 Plus: A Fun and Versatile Ride

Meet the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner 3 Plus, a versatile utility e-bike packed with exciting features. Right off the bat, you’ll notice the hydraulic disc brakes and semi-integrated battery, not to mention the cool rack and saddle upgrades. Let’s dive into the details of this impressive e-bike.

First things first, the RadRunner 3 Plus weighs 75.5 pounds. This weight is partly due to its larger, wider tires and spring suspension fork, which comes with preload and progressive lockout adjustments. The frame is robustly built with extra cross bracing and a long rear rack, making it a perfect utility or compact cargo bike. Although it measures about 72 inches long, standard for a bike, it offers ample space for cargo or passengers.

One standout feature is the weight distribution. With an 8.5-pound motor and a 7.7-pound battery pack, the weight is balanced across the frame. The bike comes in one frame size but offers significant adjustability. The 27.2-millimeter seat post can move up and down, a rare feature among similar bikes. The high-rise handlebar tilts forward and back, accommodating riders of various heights and body types.

The RadRunner 3 Plus rolls on 20-inch wheels with thick, 12-gauge spokes, double-walled rims, and unique 20×3.3 tires. These Kenda tires, co-branded with Rad Power Bikes, offer puncture resistance and a reflective sidewall stripe for added visibility. The tires provide excellent float and stability, making them perfect for off-road adventures and urban terrains.

In terms of braking, the bike features Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors, offering superior stopping power and safety. The motor inhibitors cut power to the motor when the brakes are applied, ensuring safe and responsive braking.

Powering this e-bike is a 750-watt motor with 64Nm of torque, providing a top speed of 20 mph. The 48V, 14Ah battery offers a range of 25-45 miles per charge, depending on riding conditions. The battery is easy to remove and features a 10-bar readout for precise monitoring.

The bike’s cockpit includes a user-friendly display with a 2.5-inch diagonal screen and a smaller 1.5-inch button pad. You can adjust the brightness of the main display, and the bike features a 10-bar battery infographic for accurate battery monitoring. The bike also includes a thumb shifter and a twist throttle for easy gear changes and smooth acceleration.

Rad Power Bikes offers a wide range of accessories for the RadRunner 3 Plus, including a trailer and a pet carrier. The bike is priced at $2,499, making it a great value for its features and versatility.
