Rad Power Bikes has just unveiled its latest innovation | the RadRunner Max, a fully equipped utility e-bike built for riders who demand more from every ride.
From Class 3 speed and improved torque sensing to new radar-based safety systems and app connectivity, this model redefines what a short-tail cargo e-bike can deliver.

Why the Max Stands Out
1️⃣ Class 3 Performance
For the first time, Rad Power offers true Class 3 capability on a Runner series bike — pedal assist up to 28 mph with a refined torque sensor for natural power delivery and greater efficiency.
2️⃣ Advanced Safety Suite
-
Rear Radar: Detects approaching vehicles from behind (~100 m range) and alerts riders on the display.
-
Integrated Turn Signals: Clearly communicate lane changes and turns to traffic.
-
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Precise stopping power under heavy cargo loads.
-
Safe Shield Battery: Enhanced thermal safety and impact protection.
-
Smart Lock & Tracking: Bluetooth security and Apple Find My integration for peace of mind.
3️⃣ Utility & Cargo Capability
The RadRunner Max is built to haul. With its 420 lb payload capacity and 120 lb-rated rear rack, it handles groceries, gear, or a passenger without breaking a sweat. Compact 20-inch tires keep the bike stable and easy to maneuver in urban spaces.
4️⃣ Extended Range
Standard range is around 60 miles, but the optional Range Extender battery can boost that beyond 125 miles — making it one of the longest-riding utility e-bikes available today.
🧰 Considerations to Keep in Mind
While the RadRunner Max checks almost every box, a few things are worth noting:
-
At 82 lb, it’s heavier than light commuter models.
-
Handlebar adjustability may feel limited for riders over 6'2".
-
Currently available only in Deep Emerald Green — a clean, premium look but limited variety.
Pro Safety Tips
-
Always double-check behind you — radar is a tool, not a replacement for awareness.
-
Leave extra stopping distance when carrying passengers or heavy cargo.
-
Keep lights and turn signals clean and visible.
-
Update firmware through the Rad app when available.
-
Pair the digital lock with a heavy-duty U-lock for two-layer security.
The RadRunner Max brings together power, range, and smart tech in a way that feels purpose-built for real riders. From its advanced safety suite to its UL-certified battery and massive payload capacity, the Max is the new standard for modern utility e-bikes.
