Rad Power RadTrike Review: Huge $600 Discount Makes This E-Trike a Big Deal 

Hey guys thanks for the review. Question can the trailer AND the rear basket be used at the same time? Thanks

If I was into trikes ? This has a very attractive price for sure

Any recommendations on front two, rear one wheel trikes? I feel those will corner better and fun to ride.

I live in the city, and would really like to have an easier time using a bike for shopping, but man, the bike manufacturers just don't get one important detail: we need to be able to put stuff in a box and lock it on the bike. I'm not talking about a six pack; I'm talking about 3-4 bags of groceries, from multiple stores. As it is right now, I have to just go to one store at a time (I have flexible panniers), or hope that someone doesn't take my stuff if I dash into a second store. The thing, in my mind, that separates a bike from a car is simply a locking trunk. So where Rad comes in is interesting. The Rad Runner can be fitted out with a pretty good sized racktop box, and two side panniers, all of which can be locked and are sealed from the elements. There's also a center console that holds enough that it would seem to be worthwhile. But this really adds to the cost too. The reason I mention it here on the trike video is... what's up with this thing? A trike should be able to carry more cargo more stably, but I don't see how that would be done here. There's a nice low mounting point, but they don't make anything with decent capacity that will go on it. The Ballard bag is non-locking, and I'm not even sure if it can be used on this. So I'm a little baffled as to what this trike adds to the equation. Hopefully some day some manufacturer will come out with what I'm looking for. Think of an old Harley Davidson Servi-Car (the big motorcycle trike that the police and other tradespeople used to use). Something like that, with a locking and cavernous trunk, in a trike format, with electric power, now you're talking!

Sure seemed like that bike was loud when traveling near its top speed. Surprised to hear that wasn't a negative.

How does it handle on steep hills

🐍 A torque wrench is only $20. You don't have to buy a Snap-On tool just to torque a bolt. $6 Loctite is more important than a torque wrench on PEVs.

How does it go up hill pulling the trailer?

I need to know the width of this trike so I know if I can take it through doorways. ???

Have this bike don’t buy this trike listeners. Battery is to small amp hours suck. Chain ring is to small like tiny. Seat back does not stay up it keeps slipping down. The trike is tiny. The wheel’s are tiny. The cap out on speed is 13 mph. The trike is NOT more stable it twist and bends. The coaster brake does not brake sufficiently. When using the coaster brake it causes a grinding, clattering and banging noise to occur. This is due to a adjuster sleeve that the chain runs through. It gets stuck. It gets stuck too when using the reverse. The trike is to wide it barely-barely fit trough a door, so you have to keep adjusting it trajectory or it gets stuck. When you use reverse the peddles turn in reverse (dangerously catches the foot). The list goes on. Also way, way to expensive I’m telling it’s a small trike- tiny. Peddles, small (tiny) chain ring makes you feel like a circus clown going down the street. Front wheel spins out constantly a larger/heavier battery would have helped to hold down the front end. The list goes on… I bought a RadMini in 2018 and love the bike so thought the Trike would be great stupid me. Like all companies when they get big they get funny. The guys doing this review need to be more honest in their assessment. I own this Trike I know this Trike and have a Juiced bike Hyper Scorpion 2020 as well as a Juiced bikes ScorpionX 2022. I know Ebikes their all a little funny (sell, sell, sell) you make ‘em work you replace parts for better-get the build you want. I get it but I don’t get this Trike. Pissed off and out a whole lotta money😤

Most important questions: How many cardboard boxes do you guys have now?! How many boxes have you collected so far??? You could build cardboard box castle with those now! 😆😂

Milo is a good boy 🐶😀

test the bydue A2

Top speed 14mph I would imagine coaster back and disc front is plenty. Plus who rides top speed all the time? Mostly you'll be below this but even at 14 that's plenty of brakes.

I totally disagree about coaster brakes being great. For older folks with mobility issues pushing downward with either leg may be a huge downside. I have issues with both knees and the coaster brakes removed the Rad trike for as an option for me. And why not a hydraulic brake? For folks with mobility issues having to do regular adjustments may not be an easy option. And the width, third issue. Not garages, that have a secondary door beyond the "car" door, will have a door that will not accommodate this width. I did purchase the Lectric trike after seeing another review of this bike and the Lectric - reasons - 1. Width - will fit both my house door and my garage side door. 2. Hydraulic brakes - front and back. 3. Size - it fits in the back of my short bed pickup without folding (the Rad is tooooo long.

I looked up their reviews, and it looks like they don't honor their warranty!

With all that packaging they'll be no trees left

I would love a new bike if it was given to me.

Too underpowered. I’m keeping an eye out for an etrike for a client who lives around some steep hills. He’d need closer to 25-30 mph on flat ground for his area. I’ll keep looking.

Que me manden esa de600 pesos o dólares.

подарите этот байк мне, инвалиду. я плохо хожу, живу в России😃

Over-priced to begin with and the front hub motor is not a good design.

Actually they just dumped the price to $1299. And "backordered". I guess they got tired of getting their bum absolutely munched by Lectric's trike. You guys have turned into sellouts.

Sold your soul to Rad AND trolling your mailman with an impossible contest? What happened to this channel???? Booooo

I liked the cool bike! 😀👍 But I live in an apartments and my car is a Prius.👎😖
