Vvolt Centauri II vs Rad Power Radster Road
The Radster Road is the faster, more powerful commuter: Class 3 assist to 28 mph, a 750W hub motor, 720Wh battery and an 80mm suspension fork. The Centauri II is the lighter, lower-maintenance city bike: 44 lbs, a 120Nm mid-drive with an automatic three-speed hub and a Gates belt drive that needs no chain lube. Owners of both praise the hydraulic brakes and integrated lights; the Radster's extra weight and size suit taller riders on longer, faster routes, while the Centauri II suits riders who want an easy step-through and minimal upkeep.
- Choose the Vvolt Centauri II if you want a light step-through city bike with belt drive, automatic shifting and near-zero maintenance.
- Choose the Rad Power Radster Road if you want Class 3 speed, a bigger battery and suspension for longer or faster commutes.
