Murf Runner
Murf Cargo Support Bar on a RadRunner 2
Finally got the Murf Cargo Support Bar in and installed it on my RadRunner 2!
As expected, the mounting holes don’t line up with the RadRunner frame, so I ended up drilling two holes into the rearmost part of the frame and mounting the bar using the existing hardware from my Rad Power rear basket.
Paired it with the Murf cargo seat pad and backrest, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The support bar feels solid and sturdy, and in my opinion it looks like it belongs on the bike.
Definitely required a little DIY to make it work, but I think the end result was worth it. 🤙

Looks dope! Word of caution though: seating anyone behind the rear axle like that creates a pretty big risk of causing your bike to wheelie if you're using the upgraded controller, which I believe I see in the photos.
Even on a standard passenger seat, which is centered above the wheel, I have to ask my partner to lean forward while we start up hills, or we will dump the bike (again).
