Our Verdict
An e-bike extends how far and how long you can ride — hills that would end a ride become easy, and you can go farther without exhausting yourself. The RadCity's step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting easy, and the 45-mile range covers most recreational rides.
What We Like
- Step-through frame — easy to mount
- 45-mile range on a single charge
- Integrated lights and rear rack
- 750W motor handles hills easily
- Hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping
Watch Out For
- Significant upfront investment
- Heavy at 65 lbs — harder to transport
The Step-Through Frame
Traditional bike frames require swinging your leg over a high top tube — difficult for people with hip, knee, or balance issues. The step-through frame has a low or absent top tube, so you simply step through and sit down. This makes mounting and dismounting much safer and easier.
Pedal Assist vs. Throttle
The RadCity has both pedal assist (motor helps as you pedal) and a throttle (motor runs without pedaling). Pedal assist gives you a workout while making it easier; the throttle lets you rest your legs on hills or when tired. Five assist levels let you choose how much help you want.
Range and Charging
The 45-mile range is on a single charge with moderate pedal assist. Heavy throttle use or steep hills reduce range. The battery charges from a standard outlet in about 6 hours. Most riders charge overnight and have full range every morning.
