Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Review 2023

Jan 2023 · Michael Clark

RadRover 6 Plus Review: Overview The Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus is a Class 2 fat tire electric bike that's designed for paved and unpaved joyrides and commutes. The RadRover 6 has enough power to thrive in a town with steep hills and enough comfort to enjoy your evening cruise. The RadRover 6 Plus

Highs
  • The Rovers 750W motor has very smooth engagement and a predictable power output.

  • The dual display not only looks cool, but it allows the rider to see more data without cycling through a singular display.

  • The RadRover 6 Plus rides very soft over most terrain. The fat tires and suspension fork absorb a lot of vibrations and chatter before they reach the rider.

  • Rad Power Bikes’ 6th rendition of the RadRover is the most visually appealing Rover to date.

  • The semi-integrated battery pack is very easy to pop in and out of the bike.

Lows
  • The secondary display is a little bit dim to see when riding on a bright sunny day.

  • The over bar shifter doesn’t fit the theme of the bike well, we feel an under bar shifter would not only improve visuals, but shifting ergonomics as well.

Observations
  • An approachable step-thru version of the proven RadRover fat tire electric bike featuring frame, brake, and battery upgrades for its 6th generation. Available in black or white color schemes, the step-thru offers lower standover and minimum saddle height but introduces some frame flex. Wide 4" tires provide stability, traction, and float for navigating soft terrain like gravel, sand, and snow. Shorter stem, 5 removable spacers, mid-rise handlebar, ergonomic grips, and adjustable suspension fork provide comfort fit options.

  • Network of mobile service vans and multiple storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe make trying, buying, and maintaining this ebike easy. Redesigned wire routing, especially the motor power cable, and a new removable downtube cover improve reliability and repairability. Great attention to detail and safety with puncture resistant reflective tires, motor inhibiting brakes, two display panels with more precise battery level indicators, and a brake activated rear light.

  • New hydraulic disc brakes require less hand effort, offer fit adjustability, and perform more consistently over time. Multiple rack attachment points and a wide range of quality accessories, that are cross compatible with other Rad models, set this ebike apart. Wide 11-34 tooth gearing makes starting and climbing easy; durable chainring guide reduces chain drops and bottom bracket damage while keeping your clothing clean.

  • Custom 750 watt geared hub motor offers 15% more torque than the prior generation. Redesigned motor controller is now internally mounted for durability and improved aesthetic. The bike costs 17% more and weighs 1lb more. Shorter suspension travel than before, but frame geometry is greatly improved, it handles better at speed.
