Some people like sleek, simple, spartan e-bikes, while others like to pack a lot of stuff. Rad Power Bikes’ just-announced “car-replacement” RadRunner 3 Plus should definitely appeal to those in the latter crowd.
The RadRunner 3 Plus is essentially an improved version of the company’s previously released RadRunner Plus. Slightly confusingly, there is no basic version of his RadRunner 3, but teeth The base RadRunner 2 sits below the RadRunner Plus in the hierarchy.
So what’s the difference between 3 Plus and Plus?
For one thing, it reportedly offers a “stronger, more stable ride” thanks to a redesigned step-through aluminum frame. Its frame offers a higher 350 lb (159 kg) rider/cargo capacity (as opposed to the Plus’ 300 lb/136 kg), a longer rear rack for passengers or additional cargo, plus pannier mounting rails and more New accessory mounting points for storage placement options.

The 3 Plus’s 750-watt custom rear hub motor has also been tweaked, allowing the ebike to climb hills 10% faster than the Plus. Additionally, the 3 Plus is the first Rad Power bike to offer the option to add a second battery. This doubles the range from 25 to 45 miles (40 to 72 km) per charge of the 672 Wh removable lithium. battery. Motor-assisted top speed is 20 mph (32 km/h).
Finally, the 3 Plus’ handlebar display, which provides data such as speed, distance traveled, pedal assist levels (of which there are five) and battery charge, is said to be more intuitive and easier to use.
