Get ready to cruise around town in style with the RadCity 5 Plus electric bike from Rad Power Bikes! This commuter eBike is perfect for those who want a comfortable ride with swing back handlebars and an upright riding position. Weighing in at 64lbs, it may not be the lightest eBike out there, but it's the 5th iteration from the largest eBike brand, so you know it's been perfected over time. With very stable handling and a Class 2 power assist that cuts off at 20mph, you'll be able to zip around town with ease. Just keep in mind that it's not suitable for taller riders, accommodating those up to 6'. So why not hop on and take a ride on the wild side with the RadCity 5 Plus?
