A center-mounted display is home to the speedometer, odometer, power output, and a host of new trip information. Up top, Rad Power Bikes unveiled a new dual display system on the new RadRovers that optimizes the user interface of the bike while adding a ton of new features. The new angle pushes the front tire slightly forward compared to its previous design, making both bikes much more stable, resulting in a much more comfortable cruiser-like riding posture. In addition to a more accessible step over height, Tom Mount told us that the head tube angle on the new RadRovers was toned down compared to the previous generation. That’s a huge win for shorter riders and makes the bike more accessible to a wider range of riders, now supporting riders from 5’2″ up to 6’2″.

The result is a much cleaner looking frame and even a lower step through height on the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru. The new pack replaces the bolt on batteries that were clamped onto the down tube on the high-step RadRover and in front of the seat tube on the step-thru RadRover. Rad Power Bikes wasn’t trying to hide the battery pack as much as they were just cleaning up the design lines of the bike. The result is a much cleaner look on both the high-step and step-thru versions.
It sports a slick new battery status indicator that provides a more granular look at the state of charge of the pack without having to power the bike on. The new frames were built around a new semi-integrated battery pack that bundles the same 672 Wh of high quality cells into a svelte new battery pack that nests into the downtube of the frames. The charcoal paint covers most of the frame, with deep black accents that make the whole getup pop. The step-thru comes in the very same charcoal along with a crisp white. They’re sporting a new livery, with a sophisticated new charcoal grey as the sole color for the high-step. Right off the bat, the aesthetics of both the new RadRover 6 Plus and the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru have been cleaned up.
We obsessed over all the juicy details with Senior Product Manager Tom Mount, took them for a spin, and were left extremely impressed by the new RadRovers.
The Rad Power Bikes team brought a few of the new RadRovers down to Southern California for us to spend some quality time with. The list of upgrades to the pair is staggering, starting with completely overhauled frame designs. That’s no small feat for full-sized fat tire e-bikes and Rad Power Bikes has proved them to be an extremely effective combination.Īfter what was clearly a busy year of socially-distanced bike hacking, Rad Power Bikes unveiled two completely overhauled builds of the RadRover and RadRover Step-Thru, dubbed the RadRover 6 Plus and Rad Rover 6 Plus Step-Thru. The RadRover is still one of their best sellers and, with the introduction of the RadRover Step-Thru last year, the pair of RadRovers were able to cater to an extremely wide range of rider heights. The Rad Power Bikes RadRover was one of the first purpose built electric bikes to hit the market when it was introduced in 2015 and a number of improvements have been added to it over the years.
