Reviews from using a temporary demo bike
- This ebike comes with a high capacity battery, powerful motor (meeting the maximum spec for each geography where it is sold), puncture resistant reflective tires, and integrated lights. For a bit extra, they can assemble and delivery it in most major cities. So your bike can be maintained and repaired. It might also hold a higher resale value based on the name brand recognition.
- Safety is a big deal to me, especially on a bike like this (with smaller 26″ wheels), so the fat tires and integrated lights are very nice to see. Note that the headlight has side cutouts to be visible from more angles and the rear light has a button to change from solid to flashing mode. When braking, the rear light also goes extra bright!
- This ebike uses the same high-capacity battery .
- The battery pack can be charged on or off the bike frame, locks securely into place, contains two fuses for safety, the mounting bracket is sturdy and attaches with three bolts vs. two on some competing products. They used high quality Samsung 35E Lithium-ion cells, and the pack is fairly affordable to replace because it’s standardized and the controller is separate. I also like that the locking cylinder built into the battery has an unlocked, locked+off, and locked+on position so you can leave the pack locked to the frame (but powered off) so people won’t be able to tamper with the display or throttle. Note that the 4-LED charge level indicator will not work if the battery is in the locked+off position.
- High-volume tires, ergonomic grips, and brake levers with rubberized edges all contribute to comfort. I like to lower the tire pressure a bit to make the ride even smoother because I’m fairly light weight
- Large 180mm mechanical disc brake rotors provide ample stopping power given the relatively big 26″ wheel diameter, they definitely come in handy if you’re riding with a passenger, child, or cargo in some of the optional racks and bags. The larger size also dissipates heat faster, but be careful not to bend them by forcing the front wheel into a crowded bike rack. Note also that the hub motor gets a mechanical advantage from the smaller wheels.
- The motor controller box is positioned under the main tube of the bike, and it feels safe there because of the metal chainring guide and skit plate below. I was told that the controller box is aluminum alloy vs. plastic, and that makes it extra tough. Mounting this box separately from the battery pack helps to keep the battery replacement prices lower and reduces heat transfer, which can be hard on lithium-ion cells. Store your battery packs in a cool dry location, and avoid letting them drain completely, because that can stress the cell chemistry.
- I noticed that the optional passenger pegs didn’t rattle or twist during use, they mount to a welded plate section with ridges that prevent spinning during use. The pegs fold up nicely, which reduces the possibility of scratching objects or people as you move the bike around. Note that the passenger kit comes with a clear plastic skirt guard for safety, and Rad now has a new passenger handhold bar kit.
