#Rad wagon 4 series

But when you have RadвЂ™s size and ability, I guess you can start playing God with bike parts. It does feel a bit Apple-y, getting locked into an ecosystem. And even if you get a flat, you can still repair it yourself at home or at a bike shop as long as you have the necessary 22вЂі tube. Being locked into RadвЂ™s unique tire size is a bit of a bummer for anyone who likes to be able to modify or tinker on their bike as they see fit, but I donвЂ™t think it will be a huge maintenance concern since most people donвЂ™t go through tires very quickly anyways.

The added tire volume will also give a bit more cushion to the ride they arenвЂ™t quite fat tires but theyвЂ™re not skinny either. The smaller wheels will be more convenient and keep the bike from feeling so tall. But instead, Rad has pumped out several new e-bikes since last fall, including the RadRunner, the RadRover Step-Thru, and now the new RadWagon. ItвЂ™s great to see that Rad Power Bikes is still innovating since itвЂ™d be pretty easy for them to rest on their laurels as the largest e-bike company in the country. Pre-orders are now open on RadвЂ™s website, with shipping planned for September. DonвЂ™t wait too long though, or the price will be back up to its MSRP. The RadWagon 4 has an MSRP of $1,599 in the US, but riders who place a pre-order get a $100 discount, which effectively returns the price to that of the previous model. The RadWagon also comes with new mounting points for its increased line of accessories to allow riders to customize the bike with more racks, baskets, child carriers, and other utility accessories. That allows riders to tune the RadWagon for a comfortable upright riding position or a more aggressive forward-leaning position. The bike features a telescoping seat post that can fit riders from 5вЂ™1вЂі to 6вЂ™4вЂі (155 cm to 193 cm) as well as a tool-free adjustable stem assembly to change the reach, height, and angle of the handlebars. The new RadWagon also offers more adjustability and customization options than ever before. This is the same motor that Rad Power Bikes uses on their off-road and utility-oriented e-bikes like the RadRover and RadRunner. Geared hub motors produce higher torque in a smaller size, and Rad Power Bikes claims the new RadWagon will have even better hill-climbing performance and acceleration with its 80 Nm of torque. The 750W rear hub motor (or 500W in Canada and 250W in the EU) has also been swapped from a direct drive model to a geared hub motor. Those new wheels and tires come in a custom 22Г—3.0-inch size that was designed in-house by Rad Power BikesвЂ™ engineering team, replacing the larger yet narrower 26Г—2.3вЂі tires on the previous RadWagon. That results in a more comfortable ride and increased stability вЂ“ especially when the RadWagon is loaded down to its 350 lb (159 kg) limit with passengers and cargo. The frame has a new patent-pending design that includes a smaller wheel diameter with wider tires to create more cargo room and lower the front and rear racks. If you were familiar with the previous version, the first major changes youвЂ™re likely to notice are the new wheels and frame.

The updated electric cargo bike is now known as the RadWagon 4. Now the RadWagon, the brandвЂ™s electric cargo bike, has received a major overhaul with a brand new frame, motor, tires, increased adjustability, additional accessories, and more. What would you do with this truck if it was yours? Drive as-is? Custom camper or hunting rig? How about the baddest snow plow on the block? Let us know.Rad Power Bikes is the largest e-bike company in the US and is known for its diverse lineup of affordable e-bikes.

Hopefully, it has been done right and runs well for the new owner. It appears the truck has been upgraded and/or maintained with some aftermarket engine parts. It is most likely a 318cid putting out about 200 horsepower. The ad doesnвЂ™t state what size the engine is. These auctions are a great place to find low-buck projects or donor vehicles for other projects. When their service life is done, they are often offered for sale at surplus auctions. Most state highway vehicles are fairly well maintained and see little mileage over their lifetime. The floorboards have some rust, but it doesnвЂ™t look like there are any major holes. The seat may have been recovered, but if it was, it looks original.

The ad claims: вЂњвЂ¦is 1 of only 280 V8 powered W-300 Series 1 ton 4WD trucks built in 1962.вЂќ
