display system that makes operation simpler and more intuitive, leaving riders
of all levels feeling confident.

"The RadRover is special to us. It's our flagship ebike, it introduced Rad
Power Bikes to the world, and kickstarted the ebike revolution—a movement led
by more than 350,000 Rad riders around the world," said Mike Radenbaugh,
founder and CEO of Rad Power Bikes. "Whether you're commuting to work, hauling
groceries, or headed on a weekend adventure, the RadRover 6 Plus is your
durable, rugged, comfortable and—most importantly fun—everyday ebike."
To create a Plus version of the RadRover, and ensure the latest model met the
company's high standards for reliability and durability, Rad Power Bikes
developed a comprehensive array of custom, state-of-the-art components.
"Rad Power Bikes is on a mission to radically challenge the ebike status quo,
blurring the lines between traditional ebike, moped, motorcycle, and light
electric vehicle to provide industry-leading mobility solutions," said Redwood
Stephens, Chief Product Officer at Rad Power Bikes. "Over the last seven years
we have made incremental improvements, but this is the first top-to-bottom
redesign. The end result is a completely next-level riding experience that
screams 'I am an electric bike and proud of it'."
The new Rad User Interface, a two-part system that puts information where
riders need and want it most, makes operation while riding simpler and more
intuitive for all experience levels. The custom Rad Display depicts real-time
stats, such as power output, trip mileage, time, and a headlight on/off
indicator. It also displays the intelligent battery state of charge, giving
riders more accurate, confidence-inspiring battery charge information before,
during and after their rides.
The bike features two frame sizes (high-step and step-thru) which are more
comfortable for riders of a wider range of height, improved ergonomics, and a
smoother, more secure ride with better pedal efficiency. The sleek new frame
design is both striking and functional, with a new proprietary, semi-integrated
battery that easily pops in and out.
The team of engineers at Rad Power Bikes fine-tuned the all-new custom geared
hub motor and controller to provide more power, more efficiently. Riders will
be able to accelerate quicker and tackle hills about 25 percent faster. To
control that speed, the RadRover 6 Plus is the company's first model to feature
hydraulic disc brakes, providing greater stopping power, more control and
reduced maintenance with longer-lasting ceramic brake pads.
Rad Power Bikes is also expanding its ecosystem of accessories to increase the
utility and make it easier for people to own and commute by ebike. New
accessories launching with this bike include RadRover 6 Plus Rear Rack, Battery
Terminal Cover, Battery Travel Case, and a USB Charger.
The RadRover 6 Plus will be available for pre-orders online (U.S. site (
) , Canadian site (
) ) starting July 20, 2021 for US $1,999, CA $2,399.
