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.

My wife and I just like to cruise around town and the city trails at a slow to moderate pace. We are not hard core bikers. Our city has plenty of trails and we live close to the library, the grocery store, and several parks and lakes. I started with a Step Thru since my wife is short, and I could ride it as well. Today was the first ride... the snow is finally melting. It was so fun, peddling or using the throttle. Audible giggles and smiles. These bikes are a blast! I look forward to ordering a RadCity for myself, and looking forward to many more rides this spring and summer. We bought a basket and also have a Yepp seat for the kiddo. Thanks RPB!
While looking at Electric Power bicycles, I focused on how the bike was set up, what it had to offer, the type of motor it had, battery size and life, etc. After several days of research, watching videos and taking everything into consideration, I narrowed my search down to RAD out of Seattle, Washington.
My wife and I went with the RADCITY version – for about $1,500.00 a piece, but they will take a Hundred dollars off the price of each bike if you buy two (which I did).
These bikes are made in the USA, the company is based out of Seattle, Washington and before ordering the bikes, I called the provided number for the company to check customer service and was immediately connected to a friendly representative, who answered all my questions.
I placed my order on 02/19/19, and the bikes were shipped out that day. They arrived a week later on 02/26/19 - Not bad for ground transportation over 3,000 miles and the bikes were packed extremely well and arrived undamaged. I chose to put the bikes together myself and it is not really that difficult if you read the instructions, but more importantly WATCH THE VIDEOS on line!
The bike is very well built it and it seems RAD thought of everything, from the layout to the setup! While the bikes were attached to my bike stand, I was able to pedal, go through all the gears, use the electric assist and the throttle, plus both front and rear brakes. Everything worked excellent and I did not need to alter or adjust anything from the factory settings on either bike. I am usually very skeptical about things, but I must say that RAD exceeded my expectations.
This review may be premature, as I have not physically ROAD tested the E-Bikes (It is still snowing in NH), but my wife and I are excited for spring when we can put the bikes to good use. I intend to do a follow-up review later, and I hope and expect it to be as positive as this one. So far, I would definitely recommend RAD products for anyone looking to purchase an Electric Bicycle!
What a great bike. I have 4 now and looking forward to spending quality time with my grandkids.this bike is well made and worth every penny.
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!!!
