Rad Power RadWagon 5: Everything You Need to Know

The short answer
Rad’s sheet calls the RadWagon 5 motor a 48V 750 watt rear hub and stamps Class 3 on that line. The pack is 48V 15Ah. It never prints watt-hours or a speed. Forty-eight times 15 is 720. Checkout is $2,199 from $2,399, with 90 Nm, a 25 mph limited mode, and 28 mph. A review weighed 86 lb and said the bike ships capped at 20 until you switch it.
The RadWagon 5 manual, US v.4, part 702-00023, calls the motor a “48V 750 watt Rear Hub, Class 3” and the pack a “48V 15Ah” battery. It does not print watt-hours. Forty-eight times 15 is 720. Payload is 375 lb and 170 kg. The rear rack is 120 lb and 53 kg. Tires are 20×3.3 inches. That block has no dollar, no bike weight, and no speed number. The row on the list links here.
The cart has three speed lines. The manual has none.
The US manual, the product cart, GearJunkie, OutdoorGearLab, and a September 2026 index. Not averaged.
| What is printed | |
|---|---|
| Manual | Class 3 on the motor line. 48V 15Ah. 7-speed chain. 180 mm hydraulic rotors. Payload 375 lb (170 kg). Rack 120 lb (53 kg). IPX6. No Wh, no Nm, no rider-only cap, no miles, no pounds for the bike. |
| Cart | $2,199 from $2,399, with a banner that says the family bike is “just $2,199.” Range “up to 60 miles.” Payload 375 lb and a 265 lb rider cap. Speeds: Class 1 and 2 up to 20 mph, “Class 3 (limited)” up to 25 mph, Class 3 up to 28 mph. Motor “750W Geared Hub, 90 Nm.” Battery “15 Ah Safe Shield.” UL 2849 and UL 2271. No Wh on that blurb. |
| Tests and an index | GearJunkie, 24 March 2025: $2,399, 86 lb, 720 Wh, ships in Class 2 and can be switched, claimed 20 to 60 miles, 28 mph. OutdoorGearLab: list $2,399, throttle 20, assist 28, measured 25.0 miles. Velo Index, September 2026: $2,399, 86.0 lb, 720Wh, up to 60 miles. Canada on that index: CA$2,749 and 39.01 kg. Notebookcheck’s January 2026 note prints 28 mph and 60 miles and skips the 25 mph line. |
The manual’s class word is a label on the hub. The cart’s class words are three caps, including a limited 25 mph mode the January note does not mention. GearJunkie’s “ships in Class 2” is a third sentence. Eighty-six pounds is a review and an index. Thirty-nine point zero one kilograms is the Canada cell. This desk did not convert one into the other and call it Rad’s figure. Twenty-five miles is a measured loop. Sixty is a claim. The list’s old “about $1,799” is not this cart.
Seven hundred twenty watt-hours is the product of 48 and 15. It is not a figure the manual printed.
Who it is for
It is the long deck with a hub, not the GSD S00. That Tern prints 200 kg and a mid-drive. A 28 mph assist mode is not the default of a path that wants 20. The class chart is those three caps. The watt-hour page is why 48 times 15 is 720 even when the blurb only says 15 Ah. Pedals are here. A 750 watt hub fits the federal bicycle test only while the motor stays under 20 mph.
Questions people ask
Does that PDF print 720 watt-hours?+
No. It prints 48V and 15Ah and stops. Multiplying those cells gives 720. A March 2025 review and a September 2026 index both print 720 Wh. The battery blurb says “15 Ah Safe Shield” and does not print watt-hours either. The capacity is the product. The label is not in the PDF.
Which speed should you quote?+
Checkout prints three caps: assist to 20 mph, a limited mode to 25 mph, and a faster mode to 28 mph. That PDF puts a class word on the hub and prints no number. One review says the bike arrives in the 20 mph setting and can be switched. A January note mentions only 28. Quote the mode you will ride.
Where does 86 lb come from?+
GearJunkie, March 2025, and Velo Index both print 86 lb, or 86.0 lb. The Canada cell on that index is 39.01 kg and CA$2,749. That PDF prints no bike mass. This desk did not convert 39.01 kg and call the result a pound line. Payload is the pair the PDF does print: 375 lb and 170 kg.
Is the old $1,799 tag still checkout?+
No. The price this crawl read is $2,199 from $2,399, and a banner says “just $2,199.” GearJunkie’s test bike was $2,399 before that sale. OutdoorGearLab’s measured distance was 25.0 miles. The claim beside the price is up to 60. A 25-mile loop is one test, not a policy average.

Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus: Everything You Need to Know
The US owner’s manual prints Class 2, a 48V 750W rear hub, and a 48V 14Ah pack, and it does not print watt-hours. The EU sheet prints 250W, 25 km/h, 672Wh, and 29.5 kg. Forty-eight times 14 is 672. This crawl did not find a live complete-bike cart.

What Is a Class 1, 2, and 3 E-Bike?
Class 1 is pedal-assist to 20. Class 2 adds a throttle to 20. Class 3 is pedal-assist to 28. A Tuttio is none of these. The sticker is not the trail.
