The difference in this case is that they built the frame and wheels for much more stress, and added on the parts needed for electric drive. Shifters, brakes, gearing, derailleur, and everything else is on that level. Other than the electric drive systems, the bike itself seems to be comparable to what you’d find at the entry level at most local bike shops for around $500–600. Without giving exact figures, let’s just say that my entry-level Trek couldn’t carry the load without problems. During that time, my asthma flared up and I gained weight. I used to ride dozens of miles several times a week on a Trek mountain bike years ago, until I got in an accident that left me unable to ride for a number of months. While this is my first electric bike, it’s far from my first bike. I’m mechanically inclined, so I’ll probably not take the company up on that, but it’s good to know that anyone with problems can get professional help as if it was purchased locally.
#RAD POWER BIKE REVIEWS INSTALL#
In Rad Power Bikes’ defense, though, it immediately sent me a replacement part and offered to pay for a local bike shop to install it on the bike. It may be a good idea for Rad Power to fit its bikes with a stronger disk made from thicker plastic or aluminum, as this appears to be a common complaint online. This meant that the bike’s pedal assist capability is dead until the new part arrives and I put it on, but the bike still has a throttle, so it was very useful. The pedal assist sensor’s magnet disc somehow managed to get caught on the chain in transit and broke. The only problem I encountered was some small shipping damage.
