When we told our riders that we'd be releasing an all-new version of our flagship electric cargo bike, we knew they were going to be pumped.
After all, there are plenty of upgrades to be excited about, whether it's the lower center of gravity for more stable rides, a geared hub motor for easier uphill hauling, or a patented new frame that makes it easier to load up the kids or strap on some cargo.
But our riders aren't the only ones who realize just how cool this ebike will be. Since we unveiled the release date, the RadWagon 4 has been getting attention from all over the web.
Take a look at what some of the websites that know electric bikes best are saying about our next-level hauler.

“More options for accessories will virtually make this upgraded electric ‘workhorse’ the best car replacement in terms of hauling cargo or even children.”
“More torque means better handling on steep hills and a quicker start from a stop, both of which are perfect for a bike that can haul as much as 350 pounds (159 kg) of stuff.”
“Thanks to a series of upgrades and a wider array of accessories, RadWagon 4 is now smaller and more adjustable for each rider, but also more reliable and powerful.”

“The RadWagon was already an impressive bike and the new RadWagon 4 is now even more capable to the point of being absurd ...”
“The powerful motor combined with the extensibility of the RadWagon makes it one of the best bargains in the world of electric bikes.”
“The lower rear deck is sure to be a blessing for folks with smaller kids … or heavier loads.”
“The height of the handlebars can now be quickly adjusted thanks to a new easy-to-adjust stem. That alone is a huge step towards replacing a car or two with a pair of RadWagons.”

"TNW has been sharing, inventing, and advancing tech developments since 2006."
“The RadWagon 4 is a car replacement e-bike at a great price.”

Gear Patrol
"Founded in 2007, Gear Patrol is an award-winning print and digital publication, store and content studio based in New York City."
"Sometimes updates are overrated. You hear a bunch of hype about a product release, only to realize it’s just slightly tweaked or, worse, simply comes in different colors. Other times, however, the changes are significant, noteworthy and awesome. Case in point: Rad Power Bikes’ upgraded RadWagon 4, which boasts a ton of value at a price that won’t break the bank."
