This bike also comes in step-thru, which is offered in black and white. 16″ and 19″ choices previously, and it only comes in black. You get the same motor, battery pack, and drivetrain hardware as the third generation, but the frame size has been simplified to 18.5″ only vs. This is the fourth generation RadCity.I got to see the van and interact with some of the Austin team members and was impressed with this unique service that blends the predominantly online presence of Rad with a local shop feel The company is also offering demo rides and post-purchase service, including warranty work. Starting in 2020, customers in some major cities including Austin, Seattle, Sacramento, and Vancouver Canada can pay $149 to have Rad Mobile Service van deliver and assemble their bike.I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the Rad Power Bikes electric bike forums.

Only available in one size and one color (consider the RadCity Step-Thru for two colors).Great fenders, kickstand, pedals, and suspension fork with lockout and preload adjust

High-resolution cadence sensor responds very quickly to pedal movement but the motor ramps up very smoothly, it doesn't feel jerky or unexpected.An alloy chain guide protects your right pant leg while pedaling and reduces the chance of chain drops The saddle drops down quite far without colliding with the rear rack, the high-step frame is lighter and stiffer than the step-thru, and it offers better weight distribution.
