RADCITY KEY FEATURES
We all know that sitting in traffic is terrible, so why not just avoid it altogether? The RadCity is the comfortable, feature-rich, and reliable electric commuter bike that will help you crush your daily commute and arrive to work in style.
750W Shengyi Direct Drive Hub Motor
The direct drive hub motor provides smooth acceleration and features regenerative braking to help recharge the battery any time you engage the brake levers.
NEW IN 2019: Kenda K-Shield Puncture Resistant Tires
Made from a layer of aramid and ceramic particles inside the tire under the tread, the Kenda K-Shield integrated tire liner is a line of defense designed to provide extra protection against punctures from thorns, glass, and other small materials.
48V 14Ah Lithium-Ion Battery with Samsung 35E Cells
Our 48V 14Ah (672Wh) batteries give you an estimated 25-45+ miles per charge while maintaining a sleek profile.
NEW IN 2019: Integrated Brake Light
The integrated tail light is powered using the main battery pack and also features brake light functionality that is activated any time the brakes are applied. The new tail light will turn on along with the headlight for increased night time visibility and still maintains the brake light functionality. It also keeps the strobe feature, which can be toggled using the button located on the tail light.
Twist Grip Throttle
Get 750W of power on-demand with the twist grip throttle. The included on/off button helps prevent accidental activation and allows you to only use the throttle when you want to.
Integrated Rear Rack
Take the weight off of your back and have the RadCity carry it for you. Attach panniers, platforms, or baskets and let the RadCity carry your cargo, or mount a Yepp Maxi child seat and bring your child along for the ride!
NEW IN 2019: Reflective Sidewall Striping
The new reflective tire sidewall striping removes the need for the orange wheel reflectors attached to the spokes like on our previous model generations. These reflective sidewalls are more durable and have a larger total reflective surface for increased visibility during night time rides. They look pretty sweet too, but that's not really a "feature."
180mm Mechanical Disc Brakes
Front and rear 180mm Tektro Aries mechanical disc brakes provide you with strong stopping power, even in loose terrain. Stop faster when it counts the most.
NEW IN 2019: 7-Speed, 11-34 Tooth Freewheel
Giving you a wider range of gearing at your disposal, the 7-speed, 11-34T freewheel means you can shift into the lowest gear for those treacherous uphill climbs or shift into the highest gear and still maintain pedal authority at top speed.

PERFORMANCE
48V and 14 Ah of Pure, Clean Power
The single most important component on any ebike is its battery. If you can’t trust the juice flowing through its veins, your ebike is better off sitting in the garage than taking you on your next adventure. With over a decade of designing and building ebikes under our belts, we've seen firsthand the downfalls of using low-quality cells. And trust us, it ain't pretty.
A high-capacity battery like this isn’t something you cheap out on. We designed and built our batteries using genuine Samsung 35E cells, which are some of the most energy-dense and reliable lithium-ion cells on the market today. These cells have allowed us to build an overall better battery, and at only 7.7 lb, it's one of the lightest and most energy-dense packs on any electric bike.

Since the beginning, we've been huge fans of hub motors for their performance, ease of use, and versatility. The 750W Shengyi Direct Drive Hub Motor is the perfect companion for the RadCity and makes this bike the ideal choice for urban environments.
Using a brushless direct drive hub motor allows the RadCity to have regenerative braking enabled as a standard feature. This allows the user to slow down when traveling downhill or coming to a stop and charging the battery in the process. Regenerative braking is automatically activated anytime you engage the brake levers, meaning you can take advantage of this amazing feature without having to do anything extra.

I have had asthma my whole life. It causes various issues, one of which is that it makes exercise more tricky. I have to be able to regulate my breathing or I'll have an asthma attack, which can get serious fast. Even when I'm in good shape, it's a challenge.
So, to be able to do a 40 mile ride, keeping up with my cyclist husband, with an elevation gain over the course of the ride of 2340 feet, is a miracle! I use the lowest assist, so I'm working (hard!) but when the steep hills come I can keep my working more consistent and avoid an asthma attack. And there is really no scenario where I would ever be able to ride with him without the assist. I'm just super excited and having the best time!!
I've had my bike for a week and a half and have ridden 160 miles! On the 40 mile ride today I made it home with 2 bars left on the battery. I think I'll easily get 50-60 miles on one ride.
I really am so grateful to have found this bike - great company, great price, great bike!!!
I have had my Commuter for two weeks now and it is absolutely fabulous. It is getting me out of the car and to where i want to go. No using gas, no pollution and my solar panels charge the battery. Trafic here is only getting worse and i can go where the cars aren't and get to where i want to go quicker and better. Love the Bike. Go get one.
Bought my City Cruiser one year ago and just completed 1000 care free miles. I have a bad knee and live on a long hill. This bike lets me pass those bicycle club people while I'm just turning the throttle. (Makes me smile)
I have the 16" Rad City and absolutely love it. I've had it for about a month and ride it to work everyday. My last few hundred yards is up a hill and having the ability to put it in pedal assist mode 3 and 4th gear makes cruising up the hill a breeze. And the bonus is that I don't arrive sweaty. I've had some trouble getting the disc brakes properly adjusted but other than that I love this bike. I mostly ride in pedal assist mode 1 or 2 and can ride 20 to 30 miles without even draining the battery by 20%.
