Rad Power Bikes, North America’s largest e-bike brand, unveils the updated version of the versatile RadWagon electric cargo bike, designed by RPB’s industrial design team.
After a holistic make-over, the RadWagon 4 offers enhanced strength, stability, and versatility, setting new standards regarding electric cargo bikes.
The project has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
“We went back to the drawing board and looked at all the ways we could improve our beloved electric cargo bike, keeping our customers’ feedback and requests at the forefront of our minds the entire time,” said Mike Radenbaugh, Rad Power Bikes’ Founder and CEO.
“The result is a next-level people and cargo hauler that’s essentially a brand new cargo bike. With a patent-pending frame design, custom tires, and more adjustability than ever before, the RadWagon 4 is the car replacing bike we’ve ever created.”
The RadWagon 4 went through a complete redesign to lower the overall center of gravity and provide a more sturdy, stable ride.
This model sports smaller, wider tires that were created specifically for this bike to provide the most comfortable, grounded riding experience possible.
The 22″ x 3.0″ tires are designed by Rad Power Bikes’ team and are constructed specifically for cargo hauling, with a custom tread pattern providing smooth rides over uneven surfaces withstanding bumps.
The RadWagon also features a new frame that’s both functional and stylish, while still maintaining the existing 350-pound payload capacity.
The overall appearance has been simplified while the patent-pending frame creates a stronger, stiffer, and more versatile e-bike.
The stand-over height and rear deck are also lower than previous versions, making it easier for both rider and passenger to get on and get going.
For the first time, the RadWagon comes with a geared hub motor, providing twice the torque compared to the direct-drive motor used in previous models.
This motor can be found on several of the company’s off-road and utility-oriented models, offering improved uphill hauling.
This electric cargo bike also offers more adjustability and customization to accommodate riders of all sizes and riding styles.
A telescoping seat post and a set of easily adjustable handlebars fit a wider range of riders and allow them to find the perfect riding position, whether it’s a more casual, upright ride or a forward-leaning position.
It is easier than ever to switch between child seats, cargo baskets, and more, giving riders all of the versatility of the family car, without any of the stress.
The RadWagon 4 comes in Rad Orange, Pearl White, and a limited edition Black colorway with reflective decals.
