2021 Rad Power Bikes

RadRover 6 Plus

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.

A proven fat tire electric bike with frame, brake, and battery upgrades for its 6th generation. The high-step version is slightly larger and stiffer than the step-thru, but only comes in a black color scheme. Wide 4" tires provide stability, traction, and float for navigating soft terrain like gravel, sand, and snow. Shorter stem, mid-rise handlebar, ergonomic grips, and adjustable suspension fork delivery comfort.

Network of mobile service vans and multiple storefronts in the US, Canada, and Europe make trying, buying, and maintaining the 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 prior generation. Redesigned motor controller is now internally mounted for durability and improved aesthetic. The bike costs 17% more and weighs 4.8lbs more. Shorter suspension travel than before, but frame geometry is improved.
