SEATTLE (BRAIN) — Rad Power Bikes introduced the RadRunner 3 Plus, a new model that can be outfitted with several cargo-focused accessories that the brand says will make it easier to choose an e-bike over an automobile.
The RadRunner 3 Plus has a payload capacity of 350 pounds. It features a low-step frame, and a suspension fork. The frame also features an extended rear rack that creates more space for cargo or a passenger.
Other specs' include Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with levers that can be adjusted to fit a range of hand sizes, and a custom display system that makes operation simpler and more intuitive, according to Rad Power. It depicts real-time stats like power output, trip mileage, time and battery state of charge. The bike comes equipped with full fenders, headlight and rear taillight, and tires with a reflective strip.
This is the first offering from Rad that accommodates an optional dual battery capable range extender, making it possible for riders to reach over 100 miles on a single charge.
New cargo accessories include the Rad Trailer, with a Rad Trailer Pet Insert, and Rad Trailer Cargo Bin. The trailer is compatible with nearly every e-bike in the brand's lineup. The dog house-inspired insert fits into the trailer, clipping into place. It features vented panels for airflow and space to store treats, leashes, and other items. When hauling is the priority, the cargo bin can be added to the trailer to maximize carrying space.
