Performance
Spend less time charging and more time riding.
Our specialty is battery and electric motor technology and we understand you want to commute to and from work, climb hills, stand-your-own in traffic and get to your destination faster. We have what you want and it's 48V and 750W of clean power. The RadCity gets an estimated range of 25-45+ miles per charge allowing you to get a full day's worth of use without having to stop to plug in.
48V and 750W of power results in an electric fat bike capable of tackling terrain and going the distance unlike the lower power and voltage options on the market.
Unlike other electric bikes with low capacity 36V batteries, we splurged on our battery packs because we know that this is the single most important component of any electric bike. The 48V 14Ah battery packs a punch and has the capacity and range to be there for you when you need it most at the end of a long ride. At only 7.7 lbs, this is one of the lightest and most energy dense battery packs ever supplied on an electric bike. Combine that with the external battery meter and easy removal for charging and transport, you have a feature rich battery pack you can depend on.

Brushless Direct Drive Hub Motor
A hub motor is an electric motor incorporated into the hub of the wheel. These motors are compact, maintenance free, and discreet. Hub motors are the most common drive method for ebikes today and offer a number of advantages.
We applied our experience with years of taking ebike motors to their limits in high-performance applications and have outfitted the RadCity with a powerful brushless direct drive hub motor specifically designed for use with our 15 amp continuous motor controller and 48V battery pack.
Regenerative Braking
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.

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%.
Just got mine 6 days ago and what a bike!!!! I did search for the last 4 months for one and "THIS BRAND IS THE BEST"for the money.Very easy to assemble ,smooth ,easy riding and very important "very friendly and professional technical suport.Great job !!!!
I have had my Radcity for one month now. Love the bike. Due to geographical constraints I based my purchase on various on line reviews. Upon receiving delivery of the bike was impressed with the workmanship and attention to detail. I commuted for 35 years to my place of employment via bike, way before it was trendy and cool. This bike would have been my perfect commuter. Thankfully I no longer have to commute, the down side is I am now an old guy. But as an old guy I can use this bike to get to my grandsons’s baseball games at the local ball field. What a hoot.
Some of the on line reviews griped about mechanical disc brakes, the quality of the Shimano components, and the spring front suspension. You know what, they all work properly. I am more than happy with my purchase. Added a Suntour suspension post, the bike is great.
This is a great bike with great customer service.There is not one thing I don,t like this bike. When I got it the speedometer did not work. RAD was right there to help problem solved. I love this bike. If you want an ebike this is what you want really! I am 63 and love the power assist. THANK YOU RAD
