Founded in 2007 and claiming to be the largest ebike brand in North America, Seattle, Washington’s Rad Power Bikes makes pretty neat ebikes. Remember the folding fat tire ebike we covered back in March of this year? Well, this time they’re releasing a cool new tricycle, the RadTrike. This all-new electric tricycle could possibly mean more ebike accessibility to more riders.
Tricycles have the ability to carry a lot of cargo, so this new trike could be a real alternative to a car, which is a good thing. Rad Power Bikes claims that their electric trike “blurs the lines between bikes and light electric vehicles with familiar functionality of cars”.
The RadTrike represents the “single most requested model in Rad’s history”. This is Rad’s latest effort to deliver a variety of climate-friendly options for riders of all abilities.
“The journey to the RadTrike began with one of my first customers who couldn’t ride a traditional bike due to health issues. Since that early interaction, I’ve had countless conversations with customers looking to Rad for solutions,” said Mike Radenbaugh, Founder and Chairman, of Rad Power Bikes. “Fast forward to now, we’ve honed our expertise to create a high-value, purpose-built three-wheeled option that will popularize another micromobility category. The RadTrike is the next big acceleration in our mission to make transportation energy efficient, enjoyable, and accessible to all.”
