Is the RadCity 5 Plus worth it for commuting?

Yes, if your commute is mostly paved and you can store a heavy bike at both ends. The included rack, lights and fenders save money over adding them to a bare e-bike.

How far can it go on a charge?

Rad rates the 672Wh battery at roughly 45 miles, though real range depends on assist level, hills and rider weight. Expect less in cold weather or on high assist.

Does it fit shorter riders?

The step-through frame has a low standover height and an adjustable seatpost, so it suits many riders around 5'2" and up. Check Rad's sizing chart for your inseam.

Is it faster than a Class 1 e-bike?

No. It is Class 2, with pedal assist and throttle both limited to 20 mph. A Class 3 bike can assist to 28 mph.

What comes in the box?

The bike ships mostly assembled with fenders, rear rack, lights and a charger. You typically need to attach the front wheel, handlebar and pedals and check the brakes.

Rad Power Bikes discounts most around Black Friday, holiday sales and end-of-season clearances. Prices also drop when a new model replaces the current one.

Our take on the Rad Power Bikes RadCity 5 Plus Electric Commuter Bike

The RadCity 5 Plus is Rad Power Bikes' dedicated commuter e-bike, built around a 750W rear hub motor, a 672Wh battery and 27.5-inch wheels on an aluminum step-through or step-over frame. It stands out for included commuter gear: fenders, a rear rack, integrated lights and hydraulic disc brakes. It is a heavy, upright city bike rather than a sporty hybrid.
