Weighing in at 65 pounds, it may not be lightweight, but it is on the less heavy side of the e-bike scale (many Dutch bike-style and larger cargo e-bikes weigh 15 or 20 pounds more). Plus, the compact overall dimensions and short handlebar height of just 45 inches made it easy to store in my Brooklyn apartment and usable by the whole family. And the 18-inch frame size (it’s about equivalent to a small or medium traditional bike) and low standover height of just 16.5 inches mean almost anyone can ride it (it fits people from 4 feet, 11 inches tall to 6 feet, 2 inches tall, according to Rad Power Bikes). The RadRunner 2 makes a ton of sense as a do-it-all utility bike for a city dweller, letting me easily haul everything from groceries to packages to backpacks. We did have to pay careful attention to the handlebars, however, which had to be carefully mounted so as not to tangle the cabling. The entire bike took approximately 45 minutes to assemble. The RadRunner 2 was delivered safely in protective packaging, and the detailed instructions and included tool kit made it fairly simple to attach the wheels, handlebars and pedals. As a city dweller, I cut my teeth on the now ubiquitous electric Citibike, and once I realized how effortless it was to use pedal assist, I wanted one of my very own. The extra power on tap can make even the most reluctant or hesitant rider feel capable of getting anywhere on two wheels - quick. Hopping on an electric bike for the first time - or any time, really - is a ton of fun, and even transformative. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
