Radcity Step Thru Weight

Weight of your e bike.

Radcity step thru weight.

While geared motors are great for reducing weight. The weight of the bike and its cargo also impact range and at 71 4 pounds 32 kilograms it is easy to see that the bulky build of the radrover step thru and its beefy tires come at a cost. Notice the large metal gusset connecting the main tube to the steer tube. The bottle cage bosses are positioned below the downtube which isn t as easy to reach while riding.

The gearless direct drive motor is heavier than the geared motors that rad uses on their off road models and doesn t freewheel as efficiently it suffers. Admittedly the bike feels heavy but the step thru frame is easy to get on and off and has a comfortable 20 standover height. The radcity step thru is about two pounds heavier than the larger high step radcity and i think this has to do with thicker frame tubing and reinforcements to reduce frame flex and achieve that 275lb max weight rating. I know some mid drive electric bikes with similar geometry but mid motor make.

Kenda k rad 26 x 2 3. Bike weight is listed at 65lbs which is on the heavier side and the weight can be an issue when loaded with cargo or working up hills. The upright 19 frame has a 31 standover height and the 16 is 29.

As someone spend long time in netherlands i am a big sucker for step thru electric bikes for commuting. First of all i will make my review based on radcity step thru model rather than step over model. You ll power over hills with ease and you ll do it in style and comfort with a stock rear rack fenders and front suspension. Radcity is very easy to get on and off.
