Came for a review, got a lecture about supporting local shops and a reading of some specs from their website.

Good point on the local bike shop. I bought the Radrover and coordinated with my local shop to assemble and tune the bike for a fee. I've taken the bike in for periodic maintenance. The local guy is happy and I am happy having his experience. Thanks for the review

No worries. I am glad that you are getting the support from a local bike shop. Its important to have someone you can go to for maintenance on your ebike because it is not easy to do for yourself.

I’ve been researching electric bikes for the past month hopefully to have one just in time for the warmer weather. I’ve got quite a few of local bikes shops where I live and others 45 minutes to an hour away. The only issue I have is that none of can come close in cost for an electric bike that the three or four major line dealers cost. On line your looking at approx $1,500 to $1,800. The local dealers start at $3,000. I’m just a recreational rider that’s not looking to spend that kind of money for a EB That I can get for half the price. I’m sure the quality is not going to compete with the higher end bikes at the local dealer but I’m not going cross county. Appreciate your vid and wish you luck in your new endeavor, hope you’ll keep posting vids when ur up and running. Be well

Thank you so much and I know exactly what you mean. This is definitely a higher priced bike. You can definitely get a bike in the $1500 price range that will be fun. This is actually the only mid drive bike that I own and they are typically pricier for sure. You will see lots of fun hub motor bikes in your price range and although it will not have all the bells and whistles of this bike it will certainly be fun. I have a lot of fun with my other bikes, this one just happens to be my favorite. Thank you also for the compliment. I will absolutely be doing lots of reviews in the days, weeks, and years ahead. Unlike the other reviewers I am not going into how many millimeters things are, but I hope that my style of just being a normal consumer will ring a bell with folks that prefer to have a novice opinion instead of an engineering expert. I really appreciate your wishing me goof luck and please subscribe...more fun stuff to come! All The Best, Kenneth

Hi there, Don't be fooled by the price, the Radpower bike is absolutely awesome, those mid-drive ebikes that are $3000 plus, are not that great; most don't have a trottle, no free-wheel etc and they can be plagued with problems . I purchased 2 rad power bikes, the rad Rover 5 and the rad rover step-thru for my wife last September 2020, I have over 1200 Kms and zero problems.
