![]() ![]() The new RadRover Step-Thru isn’t the only big announcement from Rad. The new RadRover Step-Thru will retail for $1,499 when it begins pre-orders early next month, and you can find it on Rad’s site here. In addition to the lower frame height, the RadRover Step-Thru also comes standard with fenders, a new halo light for better visibility, and a streamlined throttle (I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I think it has something to do with removing the throttle disengage button that used to hang down below the throttle itself). When you load this sucker down (the optional rack options are great for making the RadRover into a utility bike), then being able to step through the frame will be a welcome treat to any rider. That means you get all the same adventure fun, but in a bike that is easier to mount and dismount. Now the company has announced a new step-through version of the bike that retains all the awesomeness (powerful motor, big battery, huge tires, etc) but drops the standover height by 10 inches (25 cm) with a step-through design. I reviewed it last year and had a blast on the bike while riding on everything from crowded city streets to off-the-beaten-path forest trails.īut if there was one downside to the bike, it might have been its large size, which can make it tougher for those with limited flexibility or shorter inseams to throw their leg over during mounting/dismounting. It was a big e-bike with large 4-inch fat tires, a 750 W hub motor, and a nearly 700 Wh battery. The original RadRover was what I would call the most adventure-ready of the Rad Power Bikes lineup. They’re good enough for everyday use without being so fancy that they become unaffordable.Īnd now we’ve gotten news that their extensive line has grown by one more model, the new RadRover Step-Thru. ![]() To put it another way, they’re basically the Goldilocks option. But they are quite a jump above your standard Amazon special ultra-budget e-bikes. Rad Power Bikes is known as one of the better bang-for-your-buck e-bike companies on the market right now.Īt between $1,299 to $1,499, their bikes won’t rival fancy European mid-drive electric bikes. And with a pile of new announcements including a brand new model, it looks like Rad is set on maintaining its lead in 2020 and beyond. Rad Power Bikes is one of the biggest names in electric bicycles. ![]()
