A Modern Electric Wagon: The Radio Flyer Via Ride Review

You've no doubt heard of Radio Flyer before; yes, they're the "Little Red Wagon" company! Turns out they also make electric bikes, and they do a pretty darn good job of it. The Via is their newest cargo bike, the result of over two years of industry research and design iteration by the Radio Flyer team. It's built extremely well, has excellent accessory options, and is available in three frame sizes. Need a little more oomph? Upgrade to the Flyer Pro for a more powerful motor, better pedaling drivetrain, and a front suspension fork!

I like the click in seats. I wish you also didn’t have to do the seat straps

Great review! This is one of my top-3 options. The other 2 are Xtracycle Swoop and Specialized Globe Haul LT. How does this compare with those 2? I realize Swoop is not considered entrylevel.

Thank you! I haven't ridden either of those so I can't compare them. However, Specialized has a huge infrastructure of shops supporting their products, with a good reputation for providing good long-term support. Radio Flyer doesn't really have any shops from what I can tell, although they do partner with Velofix for mobile repairs in some areas.
