5 years agoWow! Searched for an ebike months now was leaning toward these guys before seeing the video on YouTube. I appreciate the comments from others in making decision to get one. It will be Rad to Rad Rover in the National Park here. Thanks!

5 years agoSure thing, Daniel! I believe that the original RadRover is their most popular model, so the step-thru frame is a welcome addition! Hope it works great for you :)

5 years agoGreat review, thanks. Looking forward to buying one of these in the spring. One thing I’d need to change is the chrome fender mounting. Almost everything else on the bike is black and those stand out too much. Fender mounts is not what I want standing out. Some black plastidip would fix that.

5 years agoHuh, that’s a great catch Doug! The plastidip is a great solution… even a quick hit of spray paint or permanent marker could reduce the bright silver color. I hope you are able to get one and that you post again as you use it! These seem like great ebikes to me, but I love getting feedback from actual owners who are super observant, like you!

4 years agoIf I wanted to upgrade to a nicer bike, what is out there that has a step thru? At 67 years old, I don’t want to raise leg over seat so many times – so the step thru is ideal. But I’d like to best in class and your review makes this one sound like a good middle tier choice.

4 years agoHi Michael! That’s a great question. I’m not aware of any higher quality step-thru fat tire electric bikes. This is a brand new category, and while Rad Power Bikes uses many value parts, they are currently the leader in my mind. For the sake of comparison, here’s a less expensive step-thru fat ebike from SONDORS that we just reviewed.
ReplyMichael McDade
4 years agoSo, I would really like to see the Rad City in a larger frame like this one. I’m 6’2″ 210 lbs and since I will be mostly doing road riding, I’d rather buy Rad City, but it seems too small and less power and torque. Guess I could change out tires, but wish they would give you that option.

4 years agoI feel ya, Michael. One of our team members, Tyson, is a taller guy too, and it’s difficult to find value priced ebikes that come in multiple sizes. Swapping the tires is probably your best bet. The stock tires will buzz and add a bit of rolling drag compared to slicks, but if you keep the tire pressure up, they really aren’t that bad. Eventually, the knobs will wear off naturally and you’ll have quieter slicks :)

I Desire the Rad Rover step through 1. I have two questions considering I Don’t know much about bikes:
Both of these questions are to accommodate my unique storage considerations. I believe I will buy this bicycle if I get affirmative on both questions.
Thanks

4 years agoHowdy! I hope you are able to find this comment reply since you posted anonymously, those are great questions. Yes, you can use most folding platform pedals, as long as the thread pattern matches. Here are some examples for price consideration, I recommend getting metal ones that won’t flex or crack as easily. Yes, you could carry around an Allen wrench set to loosen the stem and swivel it 45+ degrees for storage. There actually are some fancy stems that do this tool-free, but I haven’t seen them for sale as a retrofit option.
