The Rad Runner: A Game-Changing Electric Utility Bike

This video is sponsored by Rad Power Bikes, and it features their latest electric utility bike, the Rad Runner. The bike is labeled as an electric hybrid II bike, meaning it has more power than traditional ebikes but still maintains a similar form factor. As someone who has previously been underwhelmed by electric bikes, I was eager to see how the Rad Runner would compare.

My experience with electric bikes has been mixed, and I've often found them to be lacking in terms of performance and comfort. However, after getting my hands on the Rad Runner, I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities. The bike doesn't require a ton of effort to get moving, thanks to its powerful motor and pedal assist system. This means that you can simply hop on and go without pedaling or pushing, making it feel more like a moped than a traditional ebike.

One of the standout features of the Rad Runner is its four levels of pedal assist. This allows the bike to provide varying amounts of power as needed, making it easier to tackle hills and navigate turns. The bike's top speed is 20 miles per hour, which may not seem like a lot, but it's actually quite impressive considering the bike's weight and size. According to Rad Power Bikes, the Rad Runner should be able to travel up to 45 miles on a single charge, although I've found that I can get by with shorter distances and still have plenty of power left over.

One of the things that really stands out about the Rad Runner is its design. The bike has a low-key aesthetic that wouldn't give away its electric nature unless you're familiar with it or look closely. This is likely due to the fact that the bike is designed to be more understated and practical rather than flashy and attention-grabbing. Despite this, the bike still manages to pack in a lot of tech features, including an LED display that shows essential information like battery charge level and pedal assist level.

Another feature that I appreciate about the Rad Runner is its passenger package. This allows you to have a passenger along for the ride without sacrificing comfort or safety. The bike comes with adjustable seats and handlebars, making it easy to accommodate riders of all sizes. I've found that this feature has been a game-changer for my own riding experiences, as I can now take friends and family on longer rides without having to worry about their comfort or safety.

So, who is the Rad Runner best suited for? In short, anyone who doesn't need to commute long distances or drive aggressively would be a great fit. The bike is perfect for running quick errands or getting from point A to point B if it's not too far away. However, with its range and top speed, it can also handle longer trips and more challenging terrain.

As someone who has owned and ridden many electric bikes in the past, I can confidently say that the Rad Runner is one of the most comfortable and convenient bikes I've ever had the pleasure of riding. Its design, features, and overall performance make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their daily commute or just enjoy some fun rides around town.

In terms of price, the Rad Runner may seem like a lot at first glance – $1,300 is certainly not a small investment. However, when you compare it to other ebikes in its class, it's actually quite affordable. In fact, I've seen electric scooters that cost just as much or more, and they often don't offer the same level of comfort, practicality, or performance as the Rad Runner.

Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Rad Runner, and I think it could be one of those bikes that you use very often and get a lot of value out of. Its combination of power, comfort, and convenience makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their daily commute or just enjoy some fun rides around town.

than a bikes that I've used in the past but it still has a similar form factor to your traditional ebike now you might have seen my previous video about various electric vehicles and you know my experience with electric bikes at least the ones that I've used have never been too great I kind of wrote them off in favor of my electric skateboard that wasn't I got my hands on the rad runner and unlike past electric bikes I've used this a bike doesn't require a ton of effort to get moving no pedaling or pushing required so this thing kind of feels like a moped but if I'm low on power or I'm just out of power it doesn't become completely useless I can still pedal or use the pedal assist and the Rattler has four levels of pedal assist and basically is how much juice the bike will give you as you pedal to kind of help you go up hills and make turns and all kinds of stuff like that the rad runner can go a max speed of 20 miles per hour and according to the site they should go anywhere between 25 and 45 miles on a single charge now I haven't needed to travel that far and pretty much take this thing in shorter distances and I haven't had to charge it in a long time so those are the specs but just taking a look at the bike I'm really digging how low-key it is the color scheme is awesome and you wouldn't exactly know that it's an electric bike unless you're familiar with the brand or a bikes in general it's obviously packed with tech but it isn't crazy flashy there's this LED display that'll give you an essential info like the battery charge level pedal assist level and the light indicator there's a passenger package that allows you to have a passenger along for the ride without sacrificing yours or their comfort if I want to be the same level as the passenger like re I can do that but if I want the standard riding height I can just raise the seat and arriving this bike guys let me tell you it is fun as high as I send my fat so you don't feel every bump as you ride and it's overall just really comfortable I've been riding this thing a lot and on various surfaces and it's been just fine so the question is who is this thing for and honestly I feel like the answer is the same across all the new electric vehicles out of popping up recently I feel like if you're someone who doesn't commute crazy long distances or drive this thing is a great option if you just want to run quick errands or get from point A to point B if it's not that far although with the range it could go pretty far if you wanted I use my skateboard for quick errands all the time I'm not gonna lie I can easily see this thing we're placing it just because of the overall comfort not to mention it's probably safer which I'm sure Ari likes now this is $1,300 which may sound like a lot at first but once you compare it to other ebikes in this category it's actually a really really affordable option I mean there are electric scooters out there that cost sixteen hundred bucks let that sink in but I definitely think this could be one of those things that you use very often and it'll be absolutely worth it take it from someone who's tried and owned a lot of electric vehicles like I said it's comfortable super easy to use and it's really convenient like I am really happy that it has that accelerator so that I can just go without pedaling like that's all I wanted but if you guys are interested in learning more or even picking one up head on over to bad power bikes comm slash your average consumer I'll of course have it linked in the description but hopefully you guys enjoyed it and if you did be the cool guy or girl that gives it a thumbs up let me catch you guys in the next one told n is your average consumer pacethis video is sponsored by rad power bikes so this is the
