Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- 4 Kids, including one baby infant on a bicycle. This electric cargo bike is setup with a trailer, caboose, and front-seat mount can take up to 6 kids!
We took the RadWagon 4 with the Caboose, Seat Pads, Running Boards and Front Rack and transformed it into a kid carrying machine ready for bikepacking adventure!
I show you step-by-step how we made it all work and the pros and cons of the setup.

HAHA! Thanks for sharing, you inspired me and hopefully will help convince my wife too! Cheers!
Lol thanks, good luck!
You are insane, clearly. Loved it! Thanks for sharing your experience. Two thumbs up. Cheers from Montreal QC
Lol thanks Jeff… We enjoy stretching our comfort zones!
I have a 8 yr old. Need a cargo trailer to attach to my ebike. Help please
@@DiamondBeep get a burley bee single trailer
Insane amounts of cuteness.
Yes always a handful, but many times very cute too.
Super cool, I have a similar setup with a Lectric Xpedition and the burley bee trailer. I pull my four kids around:) Cool video.
Wonderful. I'm very impressed with what can be done with E-bikes & with a family. I love it!!! Great video. 👏
Thank you!
It was a great inspiration to me as I was struggling between long tail and front loader. thank you very much.
Glad it helped! Have fun on your adventures!
Grocery and Laundry Station Wagon bike. Can't wait to load it up!
lol yup yup
I wouldn t put my kid/ s s life/sn at risk,here in London?
This is exactly what I am looking for! Thank you so much
Awesome, glad it was helpful. Have Fun!
Fantástico! Essa E-bike muito bem montada, faz a festa das crianças!
Yea it’s a lot of fun!
I was wondering whether my Burley could attach to my Rad Wagon. Thanks for verifying this, great job!
Your welcome. Enjoy!
Awesome that is exactly what I want thank you
Nice set-up.
thanks!
Wow perfect bike for family four in one,,,
I love this!
The Radwagob is awesome!
This is cool. All those kids on that bike. I used to use the handle bar attachment with babies in there. It kinda made me nervous. We got the Segway F35 and did a hill test. I made shorts videos if you want to see how it did on a hill. You can fit a lot of F35 scooters in your van and still use all those seats. I bet it could get you up my hill test, but I am too heavy for hills. I will look up your bike.
Cool
Sweet. Love it
Thank yoU!
I love it!!!!
Thanks us too!
Good afternoon I love radwagon bike,,,I'm from Philippines
Yea it’s an awesome bike.
Very nice option
Yea it works out great fro our family!
Found this video because I want to attach my trailer hitch to it, and was wondering if the wooden foot runners would get in the way! I have a different mode so nervous if so. Will give it a go !
Did it work out?
Is it hard to go down steep hills with that amount of weight? I have trouble just by myself on the rad runner 2 lol
Wish I could have an E-bike like that
They are awesome!
Any issues with the nut not being all the way on the axle. Have you had to re tighten it or do you recheck it consistently ?
Nope just tighten once after install and never again after.
Really interested to know how you connected the Yepp mini to the stem of the handlebars.
I just got mine and the bracket does not fit on that big stem of the power wagon 4
Same here.
rode my first radpower, a radpower rover 6 last week. I'm hooked! We have 4 as well..2 are older and ride their own bikes. Did you feel like the wagon lacked power with 2 kids? Id have a 4 and 2 year old plus me. I'm 175lbs and the kids arent super heavy. Thanks for the great video.
I’m 175 too. On the flat ground I feel the power is completely fine. It’s the hills where you definetly will need to get into low gear and help it out.
Does the toddler seat that you put on the front require any additional attachment pieces? Or is the seat in your link above all I need?
Yep seat in the link is all you need.
does the Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini work on any ebike?
It seems like debris can come off the back tire and into the babies faces, this is where I’m unsure about buying. Could that happen? Or is there something that blocks it that I can’t see? Great video! 👍🏾
Yes definitely can happen there is a mesh and vinyl screen that can come down to block any or that road debris.
I have the Yepp mini (not the Next Mini). Did you have to get longer bolts for the bracket to fit around the handlebar tube? The tube seems too fat to fit. Did the Next Mini fit right out of the box or did you need a specific adapter or do anything special?
We have a rad wagon 4 and I can’t get the yepp mini to fit.
Hmm no right out of the box. Except I did remove the foot rests. Mine did come with two inner plastic adapters and I remember only one would fit. But the bolts it came with worked. You are installing it around the stem washers right?
Did you get this to fit? Same problem here w Radwagon 4
@@JohnZacharia100 I did but I had to take some of the washers off to make the handlebars fit back on.
What kind of adaptor mount do you use for the Yepp mini?
Just the standard one it came with. It’s a tight fit. But it works.
Does it drain the battery super fast when you had all the kids and the trailer?
Honestly didn’t seem too at least on flat ground. But on hills yea the battery drains quick!
Hey! Any tips on how to build those side runners for the kids without worrying about their feet flailing all over the place?
I bought mine from the radwagon store.
@@Famvestor they don't ship to my address in New York:/
Thank you for the quick response
How do you get the pin in the burly hitch with it under the running boards, is it difficult?
Yea I was worried it would be too. But no there is actually a decent amount of clearance. Not difficult.
@@Famvestor Great thanks for letting me know I have a my wagon coming on Tuesday and I have a Burley Encore and a Burley flatbed glad to hear I can hitch them easily.
@@jamesdewitt84hey! I came here to post this exact same comment and saw yours… think mine is an older model wagon, so definitely hoping it clears
@@Lorenzo_in_the_benzo I have bought one since making that comment, it does clear fine but it does prevent the wagon from laying down that way as the board would crush onto the bar. Not a problem in normal operation but if you did take a fall onto it something would end up getting badly twisted/broken.
My disabled brother-in-law bought one. I've been bicycling for 57 years. This bike is well built and has some cool accessories. This is also the biggest waste of money for an e-bike. They won't sell you tires or inner tubes and the ones that come on the bike are cheap. Most bikes sold don't come with "the best" tires and tubes. Rad Power Bikes have tubes and tires in stock but are keeping them for new bike sales. It's now an almost $2,000 paper weight. The 22x3 tires are only used by Rad. No one else makes them or the tubes. They sell an equally bad "armored liner" meant as an adapter so you can use 22x1.75 tubes in the 22x3 tires. Why is there not a class action suit against them?
Yea the 22” tires are weird. I did t know there was a shortage on parts. That’s too bad… hope Rad does something about it.
How did you attach the yepp mini? How did you charge the bike while on your trip?
State park ranger cabin let us charge it.
Attached around the handlebar stem.
@@Famvestor Thank you so much! That's awesome. I have been packing my 9-month-old, 5 and 6-year-old on the back of the rad. Having the Yepp mini in the front would help a lot.
I’m having a hard time getting my Yepp Mini around the handle bar stem. Can you please share some close up pics or video of how you mounted it?@@Famvestor
@@nickksiazek2590 sorry right now yep next mini is being shipped back home for japan so will likely be another month. What are you having trouble with? Just getting the bolts around the stem?
@@Famvestor it took a little bit of time but I finally got the bolts around the stem. Thanks for the response. Ps if you haven’t done it yet you should consider adding hydraulic brakes to your Rad. Has greatly improved my biking experience.
This is insane lol
Dang what city is this? 😮
Mine Hill NJ. Why?
@@Famvestor it’s beautiful, I live near Palm Springs, CA where it’s extremely dry haha
Gotta make sure too keep your speed low with all them children's in their.
Doesn’t this go over the 350lbs mark?
140lb + 40lb + 30lb + 20lb. Not sure the trailer counts since it’s not really on the bike.
Good Good,,, all you need is,, food water and raincoat,,,
With the kids and trailer, your battery range is probably gonna take a big reduction
Yea first big test will be this weekend on our first bikepacking trip since the baby was born. We'll see how it goes. Gonna be carrying a decent amount of gear too!
@@Famvestor assuming you will have access to electricity for recharging during your stops
@@Famvestor well how did it go?
@@chelloo9517 Hoping to release the video this week. Went well, hardest thing was nap times with the infant and two year old... we charged the battery once we got there at the ranger station.

Good afternoon to all try to visit LUKBAN province of Quezon Philippines
日本仕様で発売して頂けると良いのですが😊
That poor kid in the trailer getting a mouth full of dirt and rocks , trust me , I know.
Yes you are right, we started putting the screen down most of the time to prevent that from happening. Curious, how do you know?
That tire is kicking up dirt into your baby’s eyes. Put some protective wear on
Yes good point, we realized this afterwards. Also can kick up mud and rain water. Eye Protection or the use of the mesh and vinyl windshield is recommended.
Not safe
Perhaps but it’s a ton of fun
Rad bicycles costumer services sucks, and they no longer have local service in most markets! I have a problem with the battery charger and haven't received any help other than buying new equipment that all are over priced!

You should have had a vasectomy after two kids.
You do know in order for the world to have a sustainable population you need 2.1 children per women. America is at 1.6 average.
But I’ll be sure to tell Kailey and Kaiden that you feel they shouldn’t exist.
