We headed over to our sponsor
Rad Power Bikes’ new Brooklyn showroom last week to meet with
founder and CEO Mike Radenbaugh and test drive his newly launched
three-wheeler, the
Rad Trike. The trike is
very cool, beautifully designed, and tons of fun to ride.
Manufacturing an e-trike is a big gamble for the young company. But
Radenbaugh believes the Trike is his most accessible and
transformational product yet, with huge potential to get lots more
Americans out of their gas-guzzling SUVs and into lighter, cleaner,
smarter, and more affordable electric vehicles. Can The War on Cars
be won on tricycles?
