Size Guide







How to Measure Your Bike Inseam
Your “bike inseam” -- or inside leg length -- is the distance between your body where it sits on your bike saddle and the ground. This will typically be an inch or two longer than the length of your trousers, but you’ll want to measure to be sure.
Wearing your regular riding shoes and with your back to the wall, stand with your feet spread so there is about 7 inches between them - this is about the distance apart your feet would be when straddling a bike with your feet on.
Place a hardcover book against the wall with the spine of the book facing upward. Slide the book upwards towards your groin until it is solidly against your body. This may be a bit awkward, but is way more comfortable -- and safer! -- than trying to ride a bike that is too big.
If you have a buddy helping you, get them to measure from the floor to the top of the book spine while you hold the book in place. If you’re going it alone, carefully hold the book in place and measure from the ground to the top of the book spine.
Confidence. Comfort. And plenty of cargo.
Leave the minivan behind. Our fan-favorite electric cargo bike just had a glow-up. The RadWagon 5 provides a condensed frame for better handling, a plethora of advanced safety features, and more carrying capacity than ever before. But it’s not just better for kids and cargo — it's been revamped to help riders from 4'11" to 6'3" find their fun.
Each Piece Intentionally Designed for a Purpose

Wriggly cargo welcome
Fun fact: Parents on our design team helped develop the RadWagon 5. They’ll be the first to tell you that kids love the open-air rides. With new family-friendly accessory combos, you can customize for the perfect school drop-off or a fun weekend pick-me-up.

Industry-leading safety
The Safe Shield Battery with thermal-resistant technology sets a bold new standard for ebike safety — and for even greater rider confidence, the RadWagon 5 is equipped with turn signals, hydraulic disc brakes, and a brighter, 200 lumen headlight.

A workhorse (on wheels!)
We’ve upped the power for faster hill climbing — even when fully-loaded.

Easy, breezy rides
It doesn’t get more comfortable than this. There's front suspension for unexpected bumps, a lower center of gravity for added stability, and a responsive torque sensor for a consistently natural ride feel.

Turn Signals
Navigate traffic safely with rear-facing turn signals that let drivers, pedestrians, and fellow cyclists see your next move.

Safe Shield Battery
Our all-new Safe Shield Battery is UL Certified to UL-2271. Its thermal-resistant technology encapsulates each cell with a unique heat-absorbing resin designed to prevent an accident from escalating.

Front Suspension
Glide over unexpected bumps. This is the first RadWagon equipped with front-suspension.

Improved Handling
More compact than the RadWagon 4, the redesigned frame promises nimble, sturdier handling — even when loaded up with gear.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Designed specifically for electric cargo bikes, the RadWagon 5’s hydraulic disc brakes bring you to a smooth, prompt stop.

You will not be able to ride the bike comfortably.
You will be able to pedal and stand over the frame comfortably.
Your legs may be too long to get full leg extension when pedaling.
What to Measure
Your “bike inseam” — or inside leg length — is the distance between your body where it sits on your bike saddle and the ground.
It’s typically an inch or two longer than the length of your trousers, but measure to be sure.
You’ll use this number on the chart to get a feel for how the different models will fit you.
How to Measure
Gather the tools needed:
Medium-width hardcover book
Tape measure
A wall you can stand against
A trusted friend or relative
Wearing your regular riding shoes and with your back to the wall, stand with your feet spread so there is about 7 inches between them - this is about the distance apart your feet would be when straddling a bike with your feet on the ground (standover height).
Place a hardcover book against the wall with the spine of the book facing upward. Slide the book upwards towards your groin until it is solidly against your body. This may be a bit awkward, but is way more comfortable — and safer! — than trying to ride a bike that is too big.
If you have a buddy helping you, get them to measure from the floor to the top of the book spine while you hold the book in place. If you’re going it alone, carefully hold the book in place and measure from the ground to the top of the book spine.
-
Class level
Choose speed settings for your ride:
Class 1: up to 20 mph, throttle only works while pedaling.
Class 2: up to 20 mph while pedaling or throttling.
Class 3, Limited: up to 25 mph while pedaling.
Class 3: up to 28 mph while pedaling.
Remember: adhere to posted speed limits and check local regulations for any speed or ebike class restrictions on the road or trail you're using. -
Speedometer
Fast and Curious? The speedometer will tell you your current speed.
-
Odometer
Track the distance you’ve racked up, either by trip or through the bike’s entire lifespan.
-
Estimated remaining range
Is it time to recharge? To help you keep track, this displays your remaining battery life in either percentage or remaining miles.
-
Trip time
Did your trip feel like it was just half an hour, or did time fly by? This display will show you the time you spend on each outing. Be sure to reset your trip odometer before a ride you want to track.
-
Pedal assist level
The higher the number, the more the motor will boost you when you pedal. This shows what level you’re on, from 0 to 5.
-
Motor watts
Check out how much power the motor is supplying at any given time.
-
Headlight, taillight, and rear turn signals
It’s always a bright idea to make sure your lights are on and operating.
Note: Rear turn signals can be manually turned off or will turn off automatically two minutes into use. -
USB charge indicator
Charging your device? This will confirm if your phone (or tablet, or smartwatch, or headphones, or …) is getting the juice it needs.
