The silliness of letting kids ride powerful e-bikes unsupervised as been well debated already. I'll just add that speed (20mph or about 32km/h) would actually classify that e-bike as a motorcycle on the other side of the pond (the limit for e-bike electric assist on roads is 25km/h, or about 15mph).
> My main complaint about the RadWagon is that it doesn’t have hydraulic disc brakes, instead using a less effective mechanical version, which don’t have the stopping power that their more complicated counterparts do
That part is bollocks. Sure, mechanical disk brakes are inferior to hydraulic brakes, but despite having less stopping power, properly maintained mechanical disk brakes can easily lock your wheels in any situation, including with road tires on dry asphalt (where you have the most grip). Note that I talk about first-hand experience.
The limit to the stopping power for any disk brakes is generally going to be your tires, not the actual brake.
