In our Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Step-Through review we test the range, hill climbing ability and more to show you what this e-bike is capable of doing.
The redesigned motor is incredibly refined; it’s torquey yet controlled at low speed and has ample power.
We recorded some really impressive battery range from the 672Wh semi-integrated battery.
We really, really like the looks of Rad’s newest generation of e-bikes.The new more angular design is a big improvement over the softer shapes of the last frame.
The dual displays are an innovative way to try and make the cockpit more user friendly.
Rad changed the geometry for this version of the RadRover, making it feel more balanced and a little more capable on off-road terrain.
The new hydraulic disk brakes are killer. They stop quickly and are a huge improvement over the mechanical brakes on the previous version of the RadRover.
The cable management at the handlebars is a little messy. We’d love to see cables shortened rather than wrangled with zip ties.
The LED screen on the left-hand display is dim in direct sunlight. You may have to shade it with your hand to read the battery indicator or change PAS settings.
We’d love to see Rad build a step-through RadRover 6 Plus that’ll accommodate taller riders.

An approachable step-thru version of the renowned RadRover full sized fat tire electric bike. Features comfortable 4" wide tires, an adjustable suspension fork, short sturdy stem, and mid-rise handlebar. Available in matte white or satin black with matching faux-leather grips and saddle
Excellent puncture resistant tires with reflective sidewall stripes for safety, great headlight with outer "be seen" LED Light ring and focused "see the path" primary beam (80 lumens). The rear light offers solid and blinking mode, it goes extra bright when you pull either brake lever. Riser mount keeps the rear light visible over the included plastic fender
Rubberized brake levers offer comfort and warmth over solid aluminum alloy levers. Integrated brake lever bell is cheerful and durable vs. an aftermarket mounted bell. Lots of great rack and bag accessories, guaranteed to fit and perform well. Solid one year comprehensive warranty, great price point at $1,499 with free shipping
Only available in one frame size, but the handlebar can be swiveled to lengthen or shorten reach. Standard 2 amp battery charger can take up to six hours for a full charge. Some assembly required, unless you live near one of their stores in Seattle and Vancouver or close to a city with mobile service. Fairly heavy at 71.4lbs, more frame flex than the high-step RadRover
