Where Rad Power Bikes is strong

A throttle on nearly every model, for starts at lights and rides without pedaling.
Hydraulic disc brakes on every model in our catalog.

Where it falls short

Heavier than most: a typical model weighs 76.7 lb with battery, against 66 lb across the catalog. That matters if it goes up stairs.
No mid-drive motors; every model uses a hub motor, which is simpler but slows more on long steep climbs.
