What the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility is built for

The Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility is a cargo e-bike built to carry shopping, gear or children.

It has a 750 W hub motor, 65 Nm of torque and a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h).

It carries a stated range of up to 55 miles (88 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility carries up to 320 lb (145 kg) including the rider.

In the United States the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility sells for $1,499, close to the median of $1,699 across 21 cargo e-bikes with a US price.

Where the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility may be ridden

Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 20 mph (32 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility safety certification

The brand states that the Rad Power Bikes RadRunner Utility is certified to UL 2271 and UL 2849.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
