good intro thanks for posting ! since it's not on Velotrics website what are the specs, tires, sizes? and range, is it a class 1,2,or 3? can you use Velotrics range extender?

Those are some pretty ugly welds…where is the frame made?

Torque sensor on a cargo bike is undesirable.

The RW5 is certainly upgraded, but it’s not superior to the RW4. 1:25

Great, comprehensive review. I'm glad you took it from unboxing to riding to a comparison. Thanks for taking the time. You are a natural at reviews.

Ven como es El ciclista, y no la bici. Hasta en estas bicis de components y cuadro de mierda, se puede lograr Todo.

Thanks for the great video - just got one today. How do you get it to go 28 in class 3 on throttle only? My Radrunner menu has a secret workaround. Not sure if this does...

One big improvement - I imagine - not mentioned would be the hydraulic brakes. I have a RW4, and the cables stretch, and generally just feel barely adequate when hauling around any weight.

Does anyone know if pegs work or RadWagon 5 or do you have to buy the running boards for a passenger? The running boards have been out of stock.

Thank you, the measurements and 1:1 comparison with the RW4 are very helpful.

How does the power beyond 20mph compare to the Globe Haul LT?

Que año es?

They moved that mounting block back for the baby seat in the rear position. Good design change.

Great review! I have a 2019 Radwagon, and one of the selling points for me was that the battery had Samsung cells. The Radwagon 5 specs say you are getting Samsung or LG cells, and that the battery is UL certified. I have seen e-bikes where the specifications effectively just say "battery." What exactly are you getting? When an e-bike battery can be $500-$600, a low-cost battery has no value. If the specifications on a low-cost e-bike says, "battery and wires and stuff," you need to run away. Paying a little more up front can and probably will save you money in the long-term. It would be disingenuous to pretend $2,199 isn't a lot of money, especially for people who are getting back into cycling after decades, or buying an e-bike for the first time. For an e-cargo bike, I would call the Radwagon 5 inexpensive (for an e-cargo bike) but not cheap. This looks like a high value-for-the-money bike. A better or higher quality cargo bike, say with a mid-drive Bosch unit and possibly belt drive is going to cost $4,500-$6,500. One day I may buy one of the premium e-cargo bikes, but I've put 3,831 miles on my Radwagon with zero issues. I've ridden the bike 184 times, with an average ride distance of 20.63 miles, and an average distance-per-charge of 48 miles. I see no reason to upgrade. For the most part, I ride in PAS-1, and use PAS-2 and PAS-3 sparingly. My longest ride was 62.6 miles. I have not seen the distance-per-charge degrade yet. I believe in part this is due to high-quality battery cells.

I think rad wagon 4 frame is stronger than wagon 5 . Look at the seat of frame you will see it clearly .It is also that the battery location of wagon 5 make at the back more heavier

Thank you for doing this review! Very helpful!

Why aren't people throwing the magic cycle deer in with these comparisons? I know it doesn't look like a cargo bike, but it clearly is. It's also the only cargo bike I have found that will ride on loose pack sand? Not a fanboy I just want an honest comparison between these cargo bikes and the magic cycle deer.

Great review, thanks!

If you toggle the settings to Class 3, does the throttle still work?

Informative and clear bike review,you must of done this before lol

The website says the new footboards work on the RW4 so i would think the old ones should work on the new bike.

With no rush
