![]() ![]() Below is a fully outfitted RadCity 5 Plus with panniers, a front rack, front basket and roll-top bag to maximize cargo capacity. Like other Rad Power Bikes models, the RadCity 5 Plus is compatible with the quality accessories the company is known for. And a reduction in plastic packaging by 50% helps ease environmental concerns. Rad includes custom cable covers for better protection and easier maintenance. Like other models, the RadCity 5 Plus includes reflective sidewalls for increased visibility in city environments. This is a new tire size for Rad Power Bikes as the other RadCity models currently have 26″ x 2.3″ tires. It comes with puncture-resistant 27.5″ tires, with 2″ width, a more narrow tire meant for commuting. The newly redesigned tires allow an 11% boost in range, which Rad Power Bikes says will allow riders to travel between 28 and 50 miles on a single charge. The middle screen has adjustable brightness making it easy to read on sunny days though we wish the display on the left side also allowed for brightness adjustment. ![]() And the more real-time permanent information is displayed front and center. The pedal-assist level is displayed in the same place where it is adjusted, making it more user friendly. The dual displays are not something we’ve seen from other ebike companies but it makes a lot of sense. The buttons are also larger than you’ll find on many other ebikes and the standalone button for the light is a refreshing change (no more button combinations to remember!). This also displays your current pedal assist level as well as your battery capacity. On the left side of the handlebars are large power, light, and pedal-assist buttons. It also includes a clock, which sounds like a small change but is one addition we’ve already found useful on the RadRover 6 Plus. In the center, you’ll find real-time stats for current speed, mileage, power output, and trip time. The new RadCity 5 Plus offers a brand new dual LCD display. New User Interface RadCity 5 Plus Dual LCD displays The fork is also ebike specific, meeting the EN-15194 standard. The change to the front fork was likely made to help change the geometry of the bike to accommodate taller riders as we previously discussed. This is half the travel compared to the other RadCity models though if you’re riding in the city it’s likely that the 50mm will be sufficient. The RadCity 5 Plus suspension offers 50 mm of travel, and tool-free spring preload to adjust fork stiffness for various conditions. We’re excited to get our hands on one to show you how well it climbs hills. It features a 750-watt peak motor and Rad’s engineers fine-tuned it specifically for its city riding. If the RadCity5 Plus performs anything like the RadRover6 Plus, you’ll be amazed at just how nicely it climbs. Rad revamped its motor for the RadCity 5 Plus, upgrading it to climb hills 40% faster. We recommend removing your ebike batteries when locking them up, especially if you live in an area where bike theft is common. It’s important to note that the batteries on the Plus models can no longer be turned off, meaning you can’t disable someone from turning on the bike with the battery in place. It is a superior design to the slide-on shark batteries found on other Rad Power Bikes models which could sometimes be frustrating to remove. The RadCity 5 Plus shares the same battery as the RadRover 6 Plus and it is much easier to pop in and out. And the 10-LED display on top of the battery should help you keep a better eye on the battery’s charge. Now the battery is semi-integrated tucking right into the frame, making for a much sleeker style. This is in part due to the integrated battery. The new RadCity5 Plus looks much more sleek and stylish than previous models. The high step model is offered in charcoal and the step-thru frame is offered in charcoal or glossy white. ![]() It also should be noted that the redesign is also cosmetic. You’ll also find fenders and integrated lights, both front and rear. Like all other RadCity models, the RadCity 5 Plus also includes a rear rack which is an optional accessory on many other models.
