How does the RadExpand 5 Plus differ from the RadExpand 5?

The Plus adds a 50 mm suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes and a torque sensor for smoother, more natural assist. The base model uses a rigid fork and mechanical brakes.

What range can I expect per charge?

Rad Power rates it at up to 60 miles, but real-world range is typically 20 to 40 miles depending on assist level, rider weight and terrain.

Who fits on this bike?

Rad Power sizes it for riders about 4'10" to 5'10". Taller riders will feel cramped and should look at Rad's full-size models.

Can it handle off-road riding?

Yes, for light off-road use. The fat tires and suspension fork handle gravel paths and dirt trails, but it is a Class 2 commuter, not a trail bike.

How small does it fold?

Folded, it measures about 29" high by 25" wide by 41" long, small enough for a closet or the back of an SUV.

Does it come with fenders and a rack?

The RadExpand 5 Plus ships with fenders and a rear rack, so it is ready for commuting without extra accessories.
