Electric bikes are rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. RadPower Bikes is one of the most well-known manufacturers of quality electric bikes sold in North America and Europe. The Red Wagon 4 is one of several cargo bikes from the company. This model had a recall for some issues related to the tires in mid-2022, but the company jumped on the problem to resolve it for all owners.

What’s so special about the RadWagon 4?

One of the notable features of this bike is its total weight capacity of 350 lbs. Most electric bikes have a maximum capacity of 300 lbs, which is plenty for most riders. The rear rack has a hefty 120 lb capacity. For larger riders or those who want to carry heavier cargo, this is a great advantage. The potential downside is that the bike itself weighs just under 77 lbs with battery, which is a bit heavier than the typical e-bike. The company calls the bike “Mid-step”, which is sort of halfway between step-over and step-through. This design should make it easy for most riders to mount. It comes in three colors: black, orange and white. The frame can accommodate riders with a height of approximately 5’1″ to 6’4″.

What are other notable specs?

All Rad Power Bikes are considered Class 2 in the United States. This means there is a maximum pedal assist and throttle speed of 20mph. The RadWagon 4 has an estimated range of 25-45 miles (depending on conditions). The motor is a geared hub-mounted motor with a maximum 750 W powered by a 672 Wh battery and connected to a 7-speed Shimano derailleur. Pedal assist has 5 levels aided by 12 cadence sensors. The included lights have an auto-on feature, and the rear light has a brake light indicator feature. The brakes are mechanical disk brakes. The digital display shows odometer reading, battery life remaining, pedal assist level, and motor power, and also has a USB port for charging mobile devices on the go.

Pros:

• Integrated lights have an auto-on feature and brake light indicator
• Sturdy frame with a weight capacity of 350 lbs.
• USB port for charging portable devices

Cons:

• A bit heavy
• Mechanical brakes (this is a user preference since hydraulic brakes require less pressure)

Verdict: 4.5/5 stars

If you are looking for a sturdy cargo bike with better-than-average weight capacity, look no further. The range is respectable, and the motor power seems adequate, but not particularly powerful. The price is very reasonable for the quality and features that you get.
