If you're a fan of the e-bike movement, then you've likely seen one of the more recent e-bikes on the market from Rad Power Bikes.  This company has done an incredible job at promoting their bikes through social media and affiliate marketing, but the good news is: their product is actually holding up to the hype.

Rad Power is able to keep the costs for consumers lower by cutting out the middle man and working directly with the customer, all through phone-based or online ordering.  Customers have a choice of a variety of e-bikes and a ton of customizations, as well.  One of the features that's made this bike so popular is its ability to add on a small passenger seat on the back (for smaller riders, as the payload capacity of most of these bikes is around 300 pounds), and even offers features and additions that work well for those in the delivery/gig economy.

Their newest e-bike, the RadrunnerPlus, is available for pre-order and will be a limited release.  The RadRunner Plus the best features available on their other versions in an all-in-one package.  E-bikes have really taken off of late, and it seems like Rad Power has figured out a way to gain a strong foothold in the market quickly, by being both affordable AND accessible.

With a 750 watt geared hub motor, a 300 pound payload capacity, 7-speed drivetrain, and up to 45 miles per charge, this bad boy is strong enough to last a full day of travelling around your neighborhood, small town, and can even tackle some off roads and hills while its at it.  Then there's also the ability to ride it whether it's day or night, as it comes fully wired and equipped with both headlight AND integrated brake light in the rear.

As far as their suite of other bikes, it's worth a good comb through their website to get a sense of what they offer.  Rad Power claims that for most bikes, they can ship next business day for the mainland U.S.

The immense growth in popularity of e-bikes over the past few years isn't likely to slow, so even if you're on the fence about purchasing an e-bike, and unsure whether you'll really ride it like you hope, the truth is, it's likely a great investment, as the market for good used e-bikes is strong, as any Craigslist search will show you.  There just aren't many used e-bikes out there in great shape.  The one negative to purchasing through a direct to customer company like Rad Power, however, is that if something does go wrong and you find yourself in need of a bike mechanic, there won't be many who've worked with their specific systems - but lets be honest - a battery is a battery, and a motor is a motor, and that's a small risk to take for an e-bike that offers as many incredible features for the price point as Rad Power.
