  • 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.

    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.

    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?

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?

    • @Famvestor
