Rad Power RadRunner 1

Electric Bikes / Class 2 Electric Bikes

This model is essentially a small cargo bike, and its robust frame and luggage rack will be attractive to someone looking to carry groceries or other items. The RadRunner 1 has wide tires to help soak up bumps, and it performs very well in CR’s acceleration and hill-climb testing. However, because of the added weight from the bike’s beefy frame, testers find it difficult to ride up hills without electric power.
