Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus

Extremely fast, heavier, long battery life, leather stitched hand grips. A stout-framed, urban-oriented commuter/utility bike, the RadCity 5 Plus has a powerful motor and long battery life. All that power delivers fast, smooth acceleration and strong hill climbing ability, but the bike is also easy to pedal on flat ground and hills without electric power. This model has a comfortable riding position—upright and relaxed—and Rad Power offers a range of accessories such as luggage racks, fenders, and lights, that make this an enticing choice for someone who wants a rugged bike fit for the rigors of daily commuting.
