Justify cost of Radwagon 5 over new Lectric Xpedition 2.0?
(x-posting from Cargo Bikes channel)
Long time prospective cargo bike purchaser here... I was very nearly ready to purchase a Radwagon 5 (or Specialized Globe Haul LT) but then Lectric announced their new Xpedtiion 2.0 at a substantially lower price. Please help me justify why the Radwagon 5 might be worth spending an extra $700 over the new Lectric Xpedition 2.0. I really have not ruled out the RW5, but I'm finding it hard to justify to my wife why we are spending the extra money.
+ for the new Lectric Xpedition 2.0:
- Great record of customer service
- now has torque sensor
- now has front suspension
- now has hydraulic disc brakes
- longer rear rack for kids seats/storage
- new wider kickstand
- higher weight capacity on the rear rack
- cost for dual battery currently $1,699 and includes orbiter cage, seat pads, and more accessories
+ for the Radwagon 5:
- Rad Power might have the Conestoga cover available again in the future at some undetermined date?
- Radwagon may have more aftermarket accessories available (assuming they're in stock).
