The base RadRunner, $300 below the Plus and a genuinely different bike rather than a trim: single speed against the Plus's 7, a rigid steel fork against its suspension fork, 65 Nm against 60, and no fenders included. Cadence sensing, so assist arrives in steps. 65 lb with the battery, 55 lb without, on a 120 lb rear rack. Rad publishes no warranty length on this page.

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Rad Power Bikes states: “"UL Certified to UL 2849 and UL 2271" on individual product pages, with the lineup-wide claim hedged as "All Rad ebikes are either UL Certified or tested by ACT to comply with UL 2849"” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
