The RadTrike eBike Tricycle is the single most-requested model in Rad Power Bike’s lineup. Rolling on three 18″ wheels his bike is about simplicity, comfort and accessibility.

The RadTrike eBike Tricycle combines modern technology such as a front disc brake with classic features such as a chromoly steel frame, single-speed drivetrain and rear coaster brake. The single-speed drivetrain consists of a 42-tooth chainring up front with a 16-tooth freewheel cog in the back.

Cargo capacity (including rider) is listed at 415 pounds, which includes a 325 pound maximum rider weight and 60 pounds maximum on the rear rack. The RadTrike weighs 82 pounds and can accommodate riders from 4’10” – 6’4″ tall.

A front hub 750-watt motor is paired to a 10Ah 480 Wh battery, which propels the RadTrike to a top speed of 14 mph, with a range of 55 miles per charge. It has five pedal assist modes including a zero assist option.

Safety features include an auto-on headlight and taillight, which also serves as a brake light, a bell and a parking brake.

The 18″ wheels are wrapped in 2.25″ Kenda Kontact tires with K-Shield puncture-resistant liners. Full coverage front and rear fenders protect the rider from water and road grime. While a backrest on the seat provides comfort and stability.

On the tech side, the electronic display is home to an on/off button, battery-life gauge, pedal assist level, headlight control and a reverse mode. An optional USB charger is sold separately.

The RadTrike eBike Tricycle is available in one color and size and retails for $1,699 on radpowerbikes.com, which includes free shipping. A pro delivery and build option is possibly available for an additional fee.

Rad Power Bikes is the nation’s largest eBike maker. The company was founded by Mike Radenbaugh, who as a teenager was looking for a better way to pedal his bike the 15 miles to and from school. He tinkered with spare parts and started converting standard bikes to ebikes before launching a crowdsourcing campaign to build the first RadRover. It was Radenbaugh’s mother who suggested naming the company Rad Power Bikes.
