#REVIEW 2018 Rad Power Bikes Rad Wagon (Our First Ride) with MotoTec 1600 Watt Velocifero riding along. Find out how they compare.



Purchased a 2018 Rad Wagon and Rad Mini for family to ride along with me on the MotoTec Velocifero Mad 1600watt electric scooter.
I'm riding the Velocifero while my wife and kids are in the Rad Wagon. Rad Wagon hit max speed of 21mph with my wife and kids on it. My Velocifero hit max speed of only 18mph with just me in it (179lbs). My wife and kids together weigh about the same as I do. Velocifero is 1600 watts and Rad Wagon is 750 watts and both are rated 48 volts.
We were impressed with the quality of both the Rad Mini and Rad Wagon and they were easy to assemble.
I heard of a customer that complained about the brakes squeaking on her Rad bike in one of the reviews. Her complaint is silly because the breaks on these bikes are the easiest brakes I've ever had to adjust. Mine squeaked until I adjusted them per instructions (a simple turn of the Allen Wrench).
Based on the initial build and ride of these bikes I personally feel they are a great value but of course we'll need several more miles to provide a proper review.
Unlike the Mototech Velocifero which had a number of issues during assembly and then after initial rides. Just last night I noticed yet another issue with the Velocifero. The battery charger connection no longer works if you insert it completely. I had to play with the connector and found out that now to get.it to charge I only need to insert the charge plug into the Velocifero a small amount. It will no longer charge unless you hit the "sweet spot".
I'll post a new update with list if issues on the Mototech Velocifero 1600w electric scooter in a soon to come video.
