The RadTrike is priced at $1,699, featuring a 750W front motor and a 480Wh battery, providing a range of 25-59 miles. Its 18” wheels lower the center of gravity, offering stability, while the backrest-equipped saddle ensures a comfortable, upright ride. With a 415 lb payload capacity, it can carry a 325 lb rider and 60 lb on the rear rack. The RadTrike folds at the stem for easy storage, and it includes integrated LED lighting and a reversing function for convenience.

However, its 14 mph top speed, single-speed drivetrain, and 82 lb weight may be drawbacks for some. Additionally, some users report a rough ride on uneven terrain and are not accustomed to the rear coaster brake. The display also lacks speed/odometer info, and the price may seem high for the configuration.
