Rad Power Bikes RadTrike 1, a versatile and powerful addition to the e-bike family. Nestled in the heart of Seattle, Washington, near Rad Power Bikes’ headquarters, we got an exclusive first look at this revolutionary first-generation electric trike. Rad Power Bikes has always been about innovation and addressing customer needs, and the RadTrike 1 is no exception. People have been clamoring for an electric trike, and Rad Power Bikes has delivered a masterpiece that’s not just about power but also stability, approachability, and versatility.
Impressive Load Capacity and Custom Build
This trike is built to handle substantial loads with a weight capacity of 415 pounds. The rear basket alone supports up to 60 pounds, while the front can handle 30 pounds. The RadTrike 1 is designed with a modular approach, allowing for a range of accessories to customize your ride. The base platform is meticulously crafted, featuring a 750-watt geared hub motor, the same powerhouse found in the RadRover, ensuring a smooth and powerful ride. The custom controller ensures seamless power delivery, preventing wheel spin while providing robust climbing power.
Top Features: Smooth Ride and Smart Design
The RadTrike 1 boasts a top speed of 14 miles per hour and even includes a reverse mode, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. Its width of just 32.5 inches ensures it can fit through standard doors, a feature complemented by recessed axles and nuts for a sleek profile. The robust fender support system and low standover height add to the trike’s practicality, making it an ideal choice for various riders.
Durability and Ease of Assembly
Rad Power Bikes has designed the RadTrike 1 with a two-part frame assembly that’s both durable and easy to put together. With just a few bolts, you can have this trike ready to ride. The IP6X-rated electronics ensure water and dust resistance, essential for those rainy Seattle days. The trike comes with a year-long comprehensive warranty and the backing of Rad Power Bikes’ extensive network of shops and support.
Innovative Drivetrain and Safety Features
The RadTrike 1 features a jack shaft drivetrain that powers the right wheel, while the left wheel spins freely, offering stability during sharp turns. The 180mm mechanical disc brake on the front provides excellent stopping power, essential for a trike that might be loaded with cargo or a heavier rider. The brake system includes a motor inhibitor and brake light activation for added safety.
Battery and Accessories: Practical and Fun
The removable battery is a standout feature, allowing you to charge it separately from the trike. This is particularly useful given the sensitivity of lithium-ion batteries to extreme temperatures. The RadTrike 1 also comes with a 2-amp charger and a handy wall mount for a tidy charging station. The display offers detailed readouts and integrates with a USB dongle, perfect for powering accessories like lights or a phone.
Customization and Comfort
The seat and backrest on the RadTrike 1 are highly adjustable, catering to riders of various sizes. The trike supports optional accessories like front and rear baskets, a phone mount, and even a pet carrier. With features like bottle cage mounts and potential canopy development, Rad Power Bikes ensures that every ride is comfortable and convenient.
