RadRunner 2 electric bike review: Rad Power Bikes’ most fun utility e-bike yet!

by Micah Toll

When Rad Power Bikes launched the RadRunner 2, it didn’t show off a laundry list of new updates. Instead, there were only a few key changes.

And that’s because the affordably priced RadRunner was already such a popular e-bike that it only required a few small updates to make it better than ever before.

As the old adage goes, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

If you’re new to the electric bike industry (welcome!) or if you just haven’t heard of the RadRunner platform (weird, but okay!), then let me give you a brief rundown.

The RadRunner 2 here is basically a moped and a cargo bike all rolled into one bicycle-size package.

It offers extreme utility for hauling cargo or companions, and yet still works great as a bicycle for either fun recreational riding or fitness-inspired assisted pedaling rides.

The RadRunner 2 is not a large electric bike by any stretch of the imagination. Walk up to a full-sized RadRover and you’ll be taken aback by how much bike stands before you.

But a RadRunner, on the other hand, is a much more approachable size for just about everybody.
