We rode a Rad Power RadWagon 4 electric cargo bike to see if it can replace a car

popular take on the longtail cargo bike design, with an overbuilt frame that integrates a supersized rack that provides support for almost anything you might want to carry, from double-length panniers to a pair of child seats to an adult passenger. A longtail can easily hold a full week’s worth of groceries plus extra heavy items you might want to pick up along the way, say a couple of 5-gallon jugs of water (we did this a few times), a few chairs, a kid’s bike — whatever you can imagine.
If you’re motivated, a cargo bike really can replace a car for a whole lot of things, and it’s one of the disciplines of cycling where an electric bike makes the most sense, making the huge carrying capacity far more practical for riders who don’t have thighs like tree trunks. We put the RadWagon 4 into rotation for several months to figure out if it was up to the task.
