https://electricbikereview.com/rad-power-bikes/radcity-5-plus/ The Rad Power Bikes RadCity 5 Plus is the classic high-step version of the proven RadCity hybrid electric bike featuring frame, wheel, brake, and battery upgrades for its 5th generation. Available in black only, this model comes in one frame size but offers an adjustable angle stem and extra long 390mm seat post. Ergonomic grips, hybrid tires, locking suspension fork, and optional suspension seat post provide comfort. The rear rack is now removable, and positioned so the saddle won’t collide in low positions. A growing fleet of mobile service vans and storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe make trying, buying, and maintaining this ebike more convenient. Redesigned wire routing, motor power cable, and removable downtube cover improve serviceability and reliability. Puncture resistant reflective tires, motor inhibiting brakes with rear light activation, and larger displays with more precise battery readouts elevate safety and usability. Hydraulic disc brakes require less hand effort, offer fit adjustability, and perform more consistently over time. Multiple rack attachment points and extensive range of cross-compatible accessories set this brand apart. Wide 11-34 tooth gearing makes starting and climbing easy. Sturdy chainring guide reduces chain drops and bottom bracket damage while keeping your clothing clean. Comes with flexible plastic fenders that stay fairly quiet. Custom 750 watt geared hub motor is 1.4lbs lighter, eliminates magnetic drag, and offers 37% more torque than prior model year, but no longer regenerates when braking. The cost of the bike has increased a bit, and the battery pack design is not backwards compatible. The display does not have a USB charging port built in, and you can no longer adjust top speed. Updated controller is hidden inside the frame for durability and appearance.
