Being based in the hilly outskirts of Seattle, Washington, Rad Power Bikes is well aware of this and gave the brakes on the RadRunner 3 Plus a massive upgrade with a set of adjustable hydraulic disc brakes. Of course, all that power doesn’t mean anything if you can’t slow down. We haven’t had an opportunity to ride the RadRunner 3 Plus yet, but from what we’ve seen on the RadCity 5 Plus and the RadRover 6 Plus, this new display and motor system from Rad Power Bikes is a significant improvement versus the off-the-shelf motors they have used in the past. That translates to a 10% improvement in hill climbing capability and delivers an overall more intuitive riding experience. It features their custom tuning that allows them to optimize the power bands not only for each motor but specifically for each bike. Out back, the 750 watt rear hub motor also gets a significant upgrade to a motor designed and tuned in-house by Rad Power Bikes. It is truly a premium system that translates to a more premium riding experience. This puts all of the inputs from the bikes in the ideal place for writers making it easier to see at a glance what pedal assist level the bike is in, how much range is left on the battery and what speed the bike is traveling at. Those premium components start first and foremost with Rad Power Bikes’ in-house developed motor and dual display system. When asked about the higher $2,499 price point of the RadRunner 3 Plus, Radenbaugh was quick to share that the new e-bike was designed and built to give seasoned e-bike riders and those looking for a more premium experience an option within the Rad Power Bikes family. Much like the recent upgrades to the RadRover and RadCity, these upgrades to the RadRunner family kick Rad Power Bikes’ premium line up into high gear. Ultimately, it makes it easier to do more and to take more trips and do more things with your e-bike than you would have been able to otherwise. That translates to an extra couple of bags of groceries, a larger child, more wood chips from the home improvement store, or a few extra gallons of paint. That’s a 50 pound increase over the RadRunner 2 and makes it easier to load up the RadRunner 3 Plus with whatever cargo your life puts in front of you.

The new and improved frame of the RadRunner 3 Plus also features enhanced reinforcements that translate to an improved carrying capacity of 350 pounds for the bike.

The extra grips on the new RadRunner 3 Plus are attached directly to the rear rack and make it easy for a passenger to ride confidently on the back of the bike with a solid grip.

In contrast, Rad Power Bikes’ full sized cargo bike, the RadWagon 4, fits two of the snap in child seats or two children, up to the weight limit of the rack. To put that in perspective, the rear rack can fit a single Thule Yepp Maxi child seat or a single, larger passenger thanks to the Passenger Package, and comes equipped with a rear handle and a center handle. This makes the new RadRunner 3 Plus frame a sort of mid-tail cargo bike. Rad Power Bikes pushed the rear tire back on the frame a few inches to increase the length of the rear rack, Mike said. Right out of the gate the RadRunner 3 plus is an improvement on the extremely popular RadRunner 2 platform. We spoke to Rad Power Bikes Chairman and co-founder Mike Radenbaugh ahead of the launch to learn more about the bike and its placement in the Rad Power Bikes lineup. The all new RadRunner 3 Plus does all of this with a completely new frame design That stretches the tail and increases carrying capacity, but at a price. Rad Power Bikes is back at it again with yet another innovative bike that raises the bar increases capability and enables more riders to get out, taking more trips on two wheels than was possible before.
