KBO Ranger Cargo E-bike vs RadWagon Cargo E-bike: In the past, if you wanted to get yourself a cargo ebike, you would consider the RadWagon 4 as a top option. These days, the KBO Ranger Cargo E-bike provides for all your cargo e-bike needs as much as the RadWagon, with a total cost of about $500 less and with extended battery life.
The KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike is a perfect option for cargo electric bike riders as it possesses all the components that make cargo e-bikes awesome, plus a few of its own that make it very special. If you want to ride a cargo e-bike that can do much more than that, the KBO Ranger is for you.
A relatively new e-bike, the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike is normally a class two e-bike that can be edited to make it a class three easily. The manufacturers combine many features that hitherto made the RadWagon very popular with other innovations in electric bicycle technology to deliver the perfectly balanced KBO Ranger. These similar features and the disparities that make up the e-bikes will be discussed as we go further.
Similarities and Differences Between The E-bikes
- Battery Life
Battery life is one reason people claim to be disappointed in many e-bikes. When it comes to this important aspect of an e-bike, the KBO Ranger e-bike sets a nice standard of 840Wh. Compared to the RadWagon 4 which boats only 672Wh, you have more than almost two hundred more kilowatts per hour extra.
This means extended riding time and longer assist periods. It seems a little different right now whereas, in reality, the KBO e-bike battery will last the duration of a 55-mile trip, depending on throttle use. The battery is also rated for 900 complete charge cycles, which is more convenient since you can use the battery for longer. To top it up is a quick, smart charger that can deliver a full charge in about 4 – 5 hours.
Additionally, the KBO Ranger e-bike battery is integrated into the sleek design, so you have a better battery that is also better-looking.
- Extra Rear Rack
Here is another thing. The rear of the e-bikes differs slightly in components and availability, especially if you are willing to spend some more money on the RadWagon 4 to get the caboose and running boards – an extra $298. With this, you get to enjoy the extra length of the RadWagon.
On the other hand, the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike comes with a convenient rear rack straight from the manufacturers, although the e-bike itself is a little shorter than the RadWagon. The rear rack is mainly for your convenience as it easily ferries the kids, or you can use it to convey loads of groceries. The payload on the KBO Ranger’s rear rack is 400 lbs. Think of how much load that is and how it can easily fit your needs.
The main difference is the convenience of carrying kids. The caboose of the RadWagon 4 makes this very secure and provides ample space for two kids. The KBO Ranger promises to have one too that will be called a fence, and it will be able to provide sufficient support for carrying kids.
- Center Kickstand
This is one problem you should not have to face with your e-bike. It can be very inconvenient sometimes when you have to load up your rear rack with gear or kit, and the stand keeps causing imbalance. The center kickstand is a feature that ensures the uprightness of the e-bike to avoid the tipping over of your gear while you are loading up or getting on.
Luckily, both e-bikes have the center kickstand feature.
- The Saddle
The RadWagon comes with a telescoping seat, while the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike comes with an adjustable seat that is movable in all directions for height and comfort.
What truly stands out in the saddle is that the KBO Ranger has a very comfortable saddle that eases the feeling of bumpiness when riding. The manufacturers seem to have paid more attention to this aspect of riding since more than one system is in place to make sure you enjoy riding the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike.
- Size
Usually, an e-bike comes with recommendations on specs for rider heights. Height is an important measurement for your up and down saddle adjustment, and both e-bikes are for the roughly same height.
The noticeable difference is in the RadWagon is a slightly longer e-bike than the KBO Ranger. This disparity is quite negligible since the large size does not come into play when you are riding, and the KBO Ranger is still a very comfortable ride, regardless of frame size.
It is more of a point of preference than of utility. Some riders prefer the smaller KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike while some prefer the length of the RadWagon 4.
In Conclusion
To summarize the above, the major differences between the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike and the RadWagon 4 are the price, battery, and size.
The KBO Ranger is a more suitable e-bike for a person who wants to enjoy all the latest innovations in cargo e-bike riding plus a little extra, at a much cheaper rate. This KBO e-bike brings a little more to the awesome features of the cargo e-bike while helping you save.
The RadWagon boasts of a 672Wh battery, whereas the body-integrated battery of the KBO Ranger e-bike is an 840Wh battery with about 20 miles more of usage time.
The disparity in the size of both e-bikes is quite negligible, although it is obvious. Whereas the KBO Ranger has a slightly smaller frame compared to the RadWagon, the reason is largely due to the caboose of the RadWagon, a feature that will soon be added to the KBO Ranger Cargo e-bike. This feature provides added security for carrying children.
Apart from these, both e-bikes have about the same components and features that add up to make cargo e-bikes so cool.
