I love my 2017 RadRover as my easy exercising and exploring option that hits my kid button at age 70. One improvement I would suggest for Rad eBikes. I think the addition of a good rear view mirror as standard equipment would be a huge plus; that would be showing an additional leadership move for the eBike industry. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 15 1/2 years old, and absolutely believe rear view mirrors can save lives. ... My Two Cents :+)

How has battery capacity held over the long term? Also do you know what your standard range is?

I'm proud to say I have the 6+ and am amazed how nice it is to be able to ride this bike as a regular 7 speed geared bike. 1 gear is like peddling a cloud, light and powerful without motor. 2nd gear is a little more work from a stop but once ya get out of the hole it's a great gear for a dead battery scenario. You didn't review the headlight at night for the light beam. The directional lens is a flat horizontal illumination that is the main focus. At 20' ahead it spans 12' across, nice by 3' deep so it's not bad, not like a car or motorcycle but at 20mph or less very good. I wish the break light was a little brighter, but super excited it's an actual break light. For the 2K price point I wish the seat post had shock absorption. The walk mode is great, I'm 6' 3" and at 3 mph is easy to keep up to it until I get tired then that speed is a little fast . Anyways, your review is the best I've seen of this new bike and will help those who watch inform people what's out there.

You really have a great system of reviewing. Lots of clear information and pointing out the intricacies of each bike. great channel to follow.

Looks cool. Bummer that the battery changed. I liked that you could swap batteries between bikes if you own more then one Rad bike.

Yeah, I was told that the battery was redesigned to improve weight distribution and they made it tougher... but cross compatibility is lost. It offers the same capacity, which has always been above average, but now it's longer. The amazing thing to me is that it's actually lighter than before?! I suspect we will see more Rad Power Bikes that use this format in the future. Thanks for your comment Charles, hope you're having a good day :)

Yeah agreed. But I guess the industry gotta roll with the times.. It's all about desirable compact designs. Me personally? I got no riding issue with the standard bulky battery, It's easy to swap easy to get repaired easy/cheaper to replace.

Thing is while watching the step-through version he mentioned that the motor is proprietary. To me that means you can't really upgrade to a true 750 watt motor if this isn't one. The previous motors were 500 watt even though they may have said 750. At least not without a lot of extra work. And I also don't like the idea that you can't get into the menu to adjust your top speed settings. On my 2018 you could do that.

I think they've been spending to grow physical outlets and the mobile service vans... plus, supply chain costs (shipping containers) and parts shortages have made things tricky for everyone. The increased price probably reflects some of that, but also the hydraulic brakes, display, and frame redesign with custom battery and motor.

Oooh, this looks like Rad stepping up their game to contend with some of the challengers like the Aventure. Like the look of some of the changes, though I think they should've stuck with their usual battery design; feels more in line with the sort of Rad ethos to have more easily swappable parts.

@ElectricBikeReview

I kind of agree, the lack of cross compatibility and longer length (making it harder to stow a second pack) are big trade-offs. However, I was told that this pack is more durable and measured it to be slightly lighter. I suspect that we will see most of their upgraded models go to this standard eventually.

A job well done for the review. Would love to get your professional opinion. I needed one for surf fishing (mainly riding on loose sand). Which model would you recommend?

I was sad to not see any interaction with rad representatives this time. I was hoping for some commentary on the major changes and whether or not they planned to keep them as the high level product or change batteries on the future versions of the other vehicles.

Thanks for this awesome review! Question for ya: For multiple reasons, I want to switch from commuting to work in a car to a bike. My bike route is 14 miles one way (first 3 miles are on-road and downhill and then 11 miles are on a relatively flat bike path). I'm 250 lbs and not in great shape, and hardly ever ride my bike. I did a kind of trial run yesterday - I waited till the time of day when I'd be commuting home from work (it was 95 degrees out) and I rode the first 5 miles and turned around and rode back home. I was huffing and puffing pretty good... but I did it and with my old single speed. I realized I want some kind of electric-assist for that 3 mile stretch that would be uphill on my way home after work and it's hot out. Sorry, long comment... my question is, what's the best rad bike for me? I really like the radrover 6 plus (and also cause it's on sale right now) but am wondering if commuting on mostly pavement is a good idea for fat-tire bike and with my weight. Any help appreciated, thanks!!!

Really neat additions! I'm a bit dismayed that Radpower are still using that 7-speed gearset. I most often ride in level 0 to 2 on the power assist, so the 34 tooth gear is great for a granny gear but the next size gear is such a jump in size it's sometimes jarring. I'd be content with an 8-speed. Granted, if this is the worst thing about my Rad City 4 we're in good shape. If I might wishlist a little, in addition to an 8-speed, I'd be ecstatic if some premium electronics could be integrated; High/low settings on the headlight, turn signals and a horn. I ride through traffic very often and do ride at night many times a month. I would gladly pay for an integrated option of these for a Rad City 5.

All the new generation coming out of Chinas better factories have integrated batteries controllers colour screens and hydraulic discs so Rad has to keep up else they would have no supply chain of new bikes in the near future , it should also at least include a 17.5 amp hour battery as standard and a suspension seat post even if the cost goes up a little bit more

Can you please review the Citizen Bikes London folding electric bike? I would love to hear your thoughts. It's a relatively new bike so there is no feedback. Hope to see a video on it soon!

Waiting for my RadRover 6 Plus to be delivered this week! The add on USB dongle doesn't make sense to me. Why use up valuable battery power that runs the bike motor when you can buy separate power bank to use to charge your accessories?

In your opinion, which bike do you like better, the RadRover 6 or Ripcurrent S? Which is the best value?

Would this be good for roads or is it more for off road? I'm looking for something to take to work about 10 miles....all paved road. Is this bike good for that?

How water resistant are the bike components? Especially the battery and controller board?

Well I’ve seen 3 reviews from customers who picked up this bike at dealers and all three complained about lack of power on hills. Not feeling real happy about the order I placed.

So did they remove the top speed limiter? So your really limited to 20mph? While 24 or 25 isn't crazy fast it is nice to have that option on our current rad.

Yeah, I think they did remove the ability to raise the top assisted speed. The only settings in the menu seemed to be units, clock, and brightness for the center screen.

@@ElectricBikeReview Yep with only those abilities they should have just stuck with the small button configuration instead of that big, possibly bright thing over there. Just upgraded the controller screen to one of the new color models.

what kind of rear rack and bag was in the video with the bike on the back of your dads motorhome? It did not look like a rad bike accessory.

Do these have cassette clunk when you stop snd start pedaling?

Is the stem higher on a rad rover 5 vs rover 6? Thank you

My only problem is that I wish I could have ordered the radrover 6 plus with a thumb press throttle instead of the one it comes with.

What you get for what you pay is amazing. But beware, after the sale they want NOTHING to do with you.

...story of buying an rv...

Your website comparison between RR5 and RR6 shows RR6 have 68 NM which is less than the 80 NM of the RR5. How is that RR6 have a stronger torque compared to the RR5?

Great question... I think the RR6 is rated accurately, and the old ratings were simply passed on from Bafang. I don't gather that number manually, because it's too difficult and subjective. You can probably disregard hub motor torque ratings on EBR, but I do trust Bosch and some of the other big brands... but again, difficult to compare between companies because they measure differently. I think the new torque rating is Rad's good faith effort to actually measure for themselves this time (since they built the motor). And, they said it's 15% more powerful than before. So, I suspect the Bafang was more like 59NM in reality vs. the 80NM I was told by Rad, which got that info from Bafang.
