Rad Power Bikes Radster Road review

The Radster Road brings the most pulling power on this list. Rad specifies a 750W rear hub motor with 100Nm of torque, a torque sensor with five assist levels and a half-twist throttle, and a 720Wh Safe Shield battery estimated at 25 to 65 miles per charge. Safety features are the other reason to choose it: an auto-on 450-lumen headlight, an integrated taillight with brake light and turn signals, and a passcode or fob lock that stops others powering the bike on. Hardware includes a hydraulic suspension fork with 80mm travel, hydraulic disc brakes, a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain, full aluminum fenders and an integrated rack rated for 55 lbs. It ships as Class 2 and can be switched to Class 1 or 3, up to 28 mph. The price was $1,999 when we checked. The big drawback for a first bike is weight: 74.5 lbs with the battery, which makes it hard to lift. Rad offers a 30-day return window.
