  • Our take on the RadExpand 5 Plus Electric Folding Bike

    The RadExpand 5 Plus is Rad Power Bikes' folding fat-tire e-bike, updated from the RadExpand 5 with a hydraulic front suspension fork and a torque sensor instead of a cadence sensor. It runs a 750W geared hub motor with 64 Nm, a 15Ah Safe Shield external battery rated for up to 60 miles, and Class 2 top speed. The frame folds for storage in an RV, boat or small apartment, and it carries up to 315 lb total with a 225 lb rider limit. It suits riders who want one bike for errands, gravel paths and travel, though at roughly 60-plus pounds it is heavy to lift and the fat tires and folding frame make it slower and less nimble than a full-size commuter e-bike.

    Pros
    • Folds for storage and transport
    • Hydraulic front suspension fork smooths rough surfaces
    • Torque sensor gives natural, responsive pedal assist
    • 750W motor with 64 Nm handles hills and loaded rides
    • UL 2849 and UL 2271 certified battery and system
    • 315 lb total payload, 225 lb max rider
    Cons
    • Heavy and awkward to lift when folded
    • Fat tires and folding frame add weight and drag versus a full-size commuter
    • Class 2 only, so no throttle-free Class 3 speeds
    • Up to 60 miles range is best case; real range drops with load, hills and throttle use

    What reviewers say

    Owners of the RadExpand line generally praise the folding convenience, sturdy build and hill-climbing power, and the Plus version's torque sensor and suspension fork are the most-cited improvements. Common complaints center on weight, the effort of folding and carrying it, and real-world range falling short of the 60-mile claim.

    What people mention
    • WeightCriticisedOwners say the bike is heavy and awkward to lift into a car or up stairs, even folded.
    • FoldingMixedRiders like the compact folded size but note the fold takes practice and the folded package is still bulky.
    • RangeCriticisedReal-world range falls well short of the 60-mile claim, especially with throttle use, hills and cargo.
    • Motor powerPraisedThe 750W hub motor with 64 Nm is described as strong enough for hills and loaded rides.
    • Pedal assistPraisedThe torque sensor is called a clear improvement, giving smoother and more natural assist than the older cadence sensor.
    • Ride comfortPraisedThe hydraulic suspension fork and fat tires are said to soften rough pavement and gravel.

    Questions and answers

    How is the RadExpand 5 Plus different from the RadExpand 5?
    It adds a hydraulic front suspension fork and a torque sensor in place of the cadence sensor, plus a 15Ah Safe Shield battery. The frame, folding layout and fat tires carry over.
    What is the real range?
    Rad rates it up to 60 miles. Owners report less in practice, with range dropping on hills, with heavy loads, in cold weather and when using the throttle heavily.
    Can it fit in a car or RV?
    Yes, the frame folds for storage. It is still heavy and bulky when folded, so plan on two people or a ramp for lifting it into a vehicle.
    Is it legal as a Class 2 e-bike?
    Yes. It is Class 2, with pedal assist and a throttle limited to 20 mph, which keeps it legal on most US bike paths and streets where Class 2 bikes are allowed.
    How much weight can it carry?
    The total payload is 315 lb, with a 225 lb maximum rider weight. That leaves roughly 90 lb for cargo, racks and accessories.
    Does it come with fenders and a rack?
    Check the current build sheet, since Rad has changed accessory bundles between model years. The folding frame and fat tires are standard; fenders and rear rack vary by configuration.
    Where is the RadExpand 5 Plus Electric Folding Bike cheapest?
    At Rad Power Bikes, for $1,899.00, as of our latest check.
