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 owned my Rad city 16 for the better part of a week it was my first experience with an E bike, like most of the folks here I did a ton of research online and settled here because of the great price and the high opinion of their customer service. I have put 50 miles on the bike and I couldn't be happier! I love riding it using just enough assist to climb hills and still getting a workout. I am very happy I bought this bike and I love riding it for commuting to work and back I found myself angry when I have meetings all over the metro that require me to drive my car! I don't know what you get for spending 6 to 8k on other brands but for me this is an amazing machine!
Just got my 2019 RadCity bike a week ago and have enjoyed every minute and all the miles! Super bike and it gives a real Rad Ride!
I feel that the makers of this bike have tried to think of everything needed for a safe and happy ride. I live in a small town with a crazy tourist season and
parking is at a premium so I look forward to riding my bike everywhere this season. I arrive each work day with a smile now that my commute is
so much fun!
Purchased bike July 2018. I have over 2500 miles to date with no problems; brake adjustment only. I test driven 4 different bikes; all more expensive that the Rad but none could compare to the quality of the Rad city..I would and have strongly recommended to any one who is interested in a e-bike. Keep up the good work.
I bought two radcity's, one regular and one step through for my girlfriend. I love how smooth and quiet the bikes are, buttery smooth is not marketing, you really feel like you are gliding up hills. Motor is virtually silent and much quieter than my geared hub ebike from another brand. The direct drive motors are silent and the regen braking is also silent when adjusted to allow regen before disk contact. The silence is probably my favorite part, you really can not hear it at all. Regarding power for hill climbing, I mist say it does the job but not as strong as the geared hub motors. I have a 500w geared motor that feels stronger climbing slightly than these 750w direct drives hower the silence benefits outweigh the lower torque in my view. The entire bike is built much beefier and aolid than I expected for the price, the wheels are wide and tires do amazing on and offroad. The rear racka are built super solid and generally the overall quality is very good! I have been tracking kwh at the charger and estimating my lowest range is about 30miles and highest about 60miles.
Top speed on flats is about 22mph if you raise the setting to 40kph in the lcd. 25mph is the absolute maximum no matter how steep your decline. This was a bit of a surprise to me, but there is absolutely no coasting beyond 25.
One other negative is the restistance of the direct drive, pedaling without power will be a huge workout. It feels like there is 100w of resistance by the direct drive motor so you do kind of need the battery to at least keep PAS level 1 assistance which is a very light 50-80w added.
I added a crane creek thudbuster LT, mirror, phone mount, front electra basket, and pannier and couldn't be happier. I have 170 mi in the last few weeks ridden and still get excited to go ride it every day.
Cost to charge tge battery for that 170mi is about $0.21! It's crazy cheap and efficient transportation. Everyone should own an ebike. We love our radcity bikes!
My RADCity was delivered on Thursday. After assembly it rained :( Managed a short ride that day. Fully read the manual and next day even better! Love the ease of use, the throttle, the display. Looking forward to longer rides and even more fun! Need to buy a basket for the back when they come back in stock then I will be able to carry stuff also!! Love it!
