https://electricbikereview.com/rad-power-bikes/radrover-6-plus-step-thru/ The Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru is an approachable step-thru version of the proven RadRover fat tire electric bike featuring frame, brake, and battery upgrades for its 6th generation. Available in black or white color schemes, the step-thru offers lower standover and minimum saddle height but introduces some frame flex. Wide 4" tires provide stability, traction, and float for navigating soft terrain like gravel, sand, and snow. Shorter stem, 5 removable spacers, mid-rise handlebar, ergonomic grips, and adjustable suspension fork provide comfort fit options. Network of mobile service vans and multiple storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe make trying, buying, and maintaining this ebike easy. Redesigned wire routing, especially the motor power cable, and a new removable downtube cover improve reliability and repairability. Great attention to detail and safety with puncture resistant reflective tires, motor inhibiting brakes, two display panels with more precise battery level indicators, and a brake activated rear light. New hydraulic disc brakes require less hand effort, offer fit adjustability, and perform more consistently over time. Multiple rack attachment points and a wide range of quality accessories, that are cross compatible with other Rad models, set this ebike apart. Wide 11-34 tooth gearing makes starting and climbing easy; durable chainring guide reduces chain drops and bottom bracket damage while keeping your clothing clean. Custom 750 watt geared hub motor offers 15% more torque than the prior generation. Redesigned motor controller is now internally mounted for durability and improved aesthetic. The bike costs 17% more and weighs 1lb more. Shorter suspension travel than before, but frame geometry is greatly improved, it handles better at speed.
