Rad Power Bikes Accessories

Rad Power Bikes have been in our reviews since the beginning, and they are built around their own ecosystem, which means not every accessory on the market bolts on. These are the ones we know work.

Our battery bag fits the Rad packs we have tested

Confirmed on the RadRunner (all models), RadRover 6 Plus, RadCity 5 Plus, RadExpand 5 Plus, RadWagon 5, Radster Trail, Radster Road, and the RadTrike. It is waterproof with a flame-resistant liner that passed the FMVSS 302 flame test, which is the one you want when the battery is riding in the back of a car or sitting through a Midwest winter.

Suspension seatpost: get the right diameter

Rad splits across two sizes:

  • 27.2mm – RadRunner Plus, RadRunner 2, RadRunner 3 Plus, RadExpand 5 and 5 Plus, RadRover 6 Plus, RadCity 5 Plus, RadTrike
  • 31.6mm – Radster Trail, Radster Road, RadKick

The BumpStop gives you 50mm of active travel and is rated to 300 lbs, which matters on bikes as heavy as these. Confirm against the size marked on your current post before ordering.

Rad racks are not MIK

Rad uses its own rack system, so MIK baskets will not click in. What does work is the Dairyman X: a quick-release basket that adjusts in width to clamp onto almost any rear rack, including Rad's, and pops off in seconds. The Dairyman Universal is the simpler strap-on option.

What we would add first

  • Phone holder – the BiKGrip is the mount we run on nearly every review bike.
  • Bottle cage – the adjustable ABC Cage fits almost any bottle; the side-loading Sidewinder solves tight frame clearance.
  • Mirror – for a bike this heavy and quick, an easy yes.
  • Lock, tool kit, and pump – the essentials.
