The 'RadRunner Plus' electric utility bike is a powerful transportation solution for urbanites who are looking to get around town on their own terms without having to worry about power constraints. Featuring a seven-speed drivetrain, the eBike is capable of handling hills that would otherwise not be possible with other options on the market. The unit can also handle the weight of a passenger or cargo to make it suited for leisure riding or even shopping.

The 'RadRunner Plus' electric utility bike has a durable front suspension fork to make it ready to handle uneven terrain in the city or the countryside. An LED halo headlight helps keep riders visible after dark, while a backlit LCD on the dashboard will provide information on battery life, speed and distance.
