The Dutch-influenced riding style of the new RadCity 5 Plus results in a bike that is extremely comfortable even for longer distances. Our primary objective was usability and utility. We spent years collaborating with our global product development team before this model was ready for the European market. “This is the first time we’ve designed a bike with the European rider in mind. “Europe is one of Rad Power Bikes’ fastest-growing markets,” said Arno Saladin, European business director, Rad Power Bikes. In addition, it displays the intelligent battery state of charge, calculated using a sophisticated algorithm, giving riders a more accurate, confidence-inspiring battery charge status throughout their ride. The display now depicts real-time stats, such as power output, trip mileage, current time, and a headlight on/off indicator. Lastly, riders benefit from the new Rad User Interface with large tactile buttons that make the necessary riding controls easily accessible.
The thoughtful design enables a lower center of gravity for better ride geometry, delivering a smoother, more secure, and more upright ride for maximum pedal efficiency. T he RadCity 5 Plus features two frame styles (high-step and step-thru), providing a more comfortable experience for riders across a broader range of heights, now from 4’8” (142 cm) to 6’5” (195 cm). Notable and new components include hydraulic disc brakes and longer-lasting ceramic pads for significantly more stopping power and control in the variable pace of a city and a semi-integrated battery design that easily pops in and out with the convenient turn of the key. The RadCity 5 Plus boasts 11 percent more range than the previous model due to all new custom tires designed in-house to traverse paved roads more efficiently. To build a category-leading commuter ebike, Rad Power Bikes centered RadCity 5 Plus’ design enhancements on rider performance, comfort, and style. Whether navigating cobblestones in Paris, hairpin turns in San Francisco, or delivering pizzas in New York City, ebikes are a critical answer to the environmental challenge for which we are all responsible.” They foster a healthy lifestyle, reduce stress, plug into a standard electrical outlet to recharge, and cost far less than cars. “Our European counterparts have already made ebikes an integral part of their everyday lives, and the movement is well underway in North America. “Ebikes represent a clear solution for the precarious condition of our planet,” said Mike Radenbaugh, founder and CEO of Rad Power Bikes. This is the inaugural introduction of the RadCity line for Europe, where Rad Power Bikes has an established foothold and is seeing triple-digit sales growth year over year. Featuring a removable semi-integrated battery, a custom geared-hub motor that climbs hills 40 percent faster*,, and an easy-to-read interface, the RadCity 5 Plus gives riders the ultimate performance required to navigate city traffic, busy streets, and challenging hills with ease.
