It’s no surprise that parents designed the Radwagon 5 Cargo eBike. With this bike’s 375-pound cargo capacity and extra-long rear rack, you can easily skip the school pick-up line wait.
The RadWagon 5 is powered by a 750-watt rear hub motor paired to a 15Ah 720 Wh Safe Shield advanced external battery with Samsung or LG cells. It ships in Class 2 status, which means it has a top speed of 20mph while pedaling or throttling. In Class 3 mode, it has a top speed of 28mph while pedaling. The range is estimated at 20 to 60 miles per charge.
There are 5 pedal-assist modes, including a no-assist option that uses the Shimano drivetrain with 7-speed, 11-34 tooth freewheel. Stopping is accomplished by Tektro Hydraulic disc brakes with 180 mm rotors.
Of the maximum 375 payload capacity, the extra-long rear rack can take up to 120 pounds, which leaves 255 pounds for the rider.
The 20-inch wheels are wrapped in 3.3-inch Kenda tires. Full coverage front and rear fenders with integrated wheel covers help keep riders and passengers clean and dry. A front suspension fork helps keep the ride smooth.
The RadWagon features Front and rear lights. The LED headlight pushes around 200 lumens and has a built-in reflector. The rear integrated taillight also serves as a brake light and turn signals, with auto-off technology.
The display shows ride data such as speed, distance, estimated remaining range, pedal-assist level, motor watt level, headlight, taillight, and rear turn signal control as well as charge indicator for the built-in USB port.
The bike weights 86 pounds and is built for riders between 4’11” and 6’3″.
The RadWagon 5 Cargo eBike retails for $2,399 at radpowerbikes.com. There are many accessory options such as seats and baskets.
Rad Power Bikes is the nation’s largest eBike maker. The company was founded by Mike Radenbaugh, who as a teenager was looking for a better way to pedal his bike the 15 miles to and from school. He tinkered with spare parts and started converting standard bikes to ebikes before launching a crowdsourcing campaign to build the first RadRover. It was Radenbaugh’s mother who suggested naming the company Rad Power Bikes.
