Electric Bike Report

The new handlebar setup is a game changer. The bars are wider, it feels less flexy and it still folds to boot.
At over 62 lbs it?s still hefty, but the bike folds down to a convenient size for storing in an RV, a corner of the garage or in the trunk of most sedans.
Rad?s rear hub motors have proven time and again to be some of the most reliable on the market.
The spec sheet is solid for the price. A 7-speed drivetrain, nice working mechanical disk brakes and a sizeable battery for about $1,599 MSRP is a good deal.
The handling is spot-on. Neutral, balanced, predictable ? riding this will be intuitive even for e-bike newbies.
Rad?s bikes have a distinct power profile that starts gentle and grows stronger as you pick up speed. Never once does it feel like it?ll jump out from under you.

Rad includes a velcro strap to hold the two halves of the bike together when folded, but it?s easily lost. We?d like to see a built-in solution for this issue.
I don?t mind the lack of front suspension fork, but some people will not like it. You can really feel some bumps in the road.
It?s surprising to see Rad move away from the LCD display. Unlike its predecessor the RadMini 4, this bike has no screen.
