Description
A feature-complete, approachable step-thru, comfort oriented, hybrid electric bicycle with regenerative braking. It has a built-in USB charging port below the display, features a modular battery pack that works with all other Rad models of this generation, and comes with integrated lights!
Adjustable angle stem and long 350mm seat post improves fit for a wide range of rider sizes. High-resolution cadence sensor responds very quickly to pedal movement but the motor ramps up very smoothly, it doesn’t feel jerky or unexpected. The bike is extremely quiet and the motor is known for being durable and offering some regeneration as you coast and brake, which saves brake pads and slightly extends range. New twist-throttle hardware looks good, still overrides any level of assist with full power, and is said to be less confusing and more reliable than before. Great fenders, kickstand, pedals, and suspension fork with lockout and preload adjust. The gearless direct drive motor is heavier than the geared motors that Rad uses on their off-road models and doesn’t freewheel as efficiently, it suffers from a bit of magnetic drag when pedaling unassisted or past the 20mph top speed
