The #1 BEST Selling Fat Ebike - Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6 Plus Review

[@petewhite85]

Your review was the tipping point for me to buy my Rad Rover 6 Plus Step-Through late September 2023. I also got the rear rack, large basket custom mounted lengthwise and basket liner. I'm 70 and live in Missoula Montana. I love this bike. It fits me and my needs. I use the Kryptonite chain lock as it's lighter than the ABUS and I just carry it in the basket. Thanks for steering my purchase correctly.

[@michaelwhite5834]

It's a chevy truck. Not spectacular in any way, but nothing wrong with it. I have used the hell out of mine for a year and am glad I got it.

[@LMV123]

Perfect description of it

[@christophertaylor9100]

For what its worth, I got one and I am very happy. Its a beast, very heavy and solid construction and seems like it can go anywhere.

Good video! My wife and I rented these while in Mammoth Mountain in the Sierras this July. Great bikes. I want to get one, thanks for confirming that these are decent bikes. Fond memories of my dad living in Santa Monica and me riding my BMX.

Thanks!

[@slippery2skip]

Great review. I have one of these in gray. I got unlucky and got a lemon. It's had a defective bell, battery, cadence sensor, controller and the left-side display. It use to turn itself on in the middle of the night. Despite all that I still have it. Rode it this morning instead of my Himiway. Cheers.

[@kenanmammadov7281]

I've found Rad has different components on their bikes sometimes. it varies from where you get it. One bike will have leather grips and tektro parts, and another can have rubber grips and nutt parts. not a big deal but I thought it was interesting. mine had rubber grips, no jumper cable, Nutt parts, and a Shimano Deore derailleur. good bike though.

[@ShutterContinent]

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

You should include ground clearance to strike frame or Front Sprocket . pedal to ground clearance. Foot peg to fender or wheel distance when tire is turned. Some bikes have lower frame clearance and some you can hit your foot on the fender turning.. Maybe toss up specs you measured so we can pause the video and check.. Include bar length and back of seat to bar distance. Put it up so we can pause and look.

[@yvan2563]

I'm quite disappointed by the lack of torque of this bike, especially for a 750W motor.

[@joshpointoh]

Yeah I was surprised. Seems most bikes can get up the hill giving 600w

[@zeppast]

Yeah because it's not a true 750w motor it's a 500w motor that peaks to 750w max. RAD Power bikes should really mention this on their website but they don't which is misleading. A true 750w motor will peak well above 750 watts (1000w plus). They do this for legal reasons but if the customer isn't aware of this they are spending more money for less performance compared to other options on the market.

[@Floridaprophet]

@@zeppast100% truth. I have a Senada Saber, with a 1000w continuous motor, I watch it peaks to 1400w, 1500w all the time on the controller display. Goes up overpasses and hills at 25mph with no problem. These 500w fat tire bikes are very underpowered for the amount of mass they’re moving.

[@zeppast]

@@Floridaprophet I agree fat tire e-bikes should come with 750w hub motors minimum. As you mentioned these bikes are on average anywhere from 70lbs to 100lbs in some cases. With that much weight you need more power and torque. From a legal standpoint I totally get why RAD Power is doing this but from a consumer perspective they are screwing a lot of people over. It would be different if they actually mentioned this discrepency in their marketing material on their website but they don't which from an ethical standpoint is concerning in my opinion. Unfortunately I feel like the e-bike industry might be forced to adopt what RAD Power is doing as some states like California are now cracking down on e- bikes. Some other states may follow forcing manufactures to comply with Federal over regulation which is never a good thing.

[@andrewstephens2687]

@@zeppast this Convo just made me realize how insane it is to legislate motor power rather than the output in terms of speed limit. If the wattage limits were being followed, every heavy bike would be underpowered and a super light road bike with a 750 mid drive could easily do 45mph+ while being totally legal. Riders in traffic being held to usual traffic laws, and adding speed limits to bike paths/greenways/etc seems like the obvious solution, am I missing something?

I belong to several Rad Power Bike groups on Facebook and we have had quite a few people who have bricked their Rad Rover 6 battery when they mistakenly stuck their key into the charge port instead of the battery lock and blew the charging circuit fuse. The fuses are soldered directly to the BMS board making it almost impossible for the average user to replace.

The greedy wealthy they can buy things in a heartbeat. It took me over a year to get everything I needed for bike touring. There are still a few more items needed to complete the list. So far as what I have for touring, I am completely satisfied. The majority of my camping gear was purchased from China. The wealthier classes spend way over $3000 just for the basics in bike touring equipment, but I have only spent way less than they as for total for equipment cost.

[@richardfresca221]

[@johnolivier1]

[@eRide_Addiction]

It's a good bike AS LONG as you get the upgraded 35amp controller for $250. When I bought it, it was on sale for $1,699. No way is it worth $2,099! So, with the new controller it cost me $1,950. Honestly, I was very disappointed when I initially purchased this bike but I can now bring the watts up to 1400 peak and it climbs hills no problem. I've put over 2,000 miles on mine so far and it's been pretty reliable. However, If I was currently looking to buy a fat tire ebike id skip this and buy the Wired Freedom.

[@CarlosGonzalez-hg1xm]

Hi Matt, love your videos. Congratulations on your subscriber numbers climbing. Been watching when you had about 25k not to long ago. I've been hoping you would be sent a Euphree City Robin x plus bike to review. Any chance you have one ready to unbox soon? I would hate to buy right before you reviewed one. You have been instrumental on my choice of that bike although you have not reviewed it ,from all the information you have provided on your reviews of other bikes. I've been between the Hovsco city cruiser, Ride 1up LMT'D , and the Euphree. Any thoughts from your subscribers or yourself on those options? I'm a 60 yr old male who lives in Fort Lee NJ by the George Washington Bridge. So I encounter some steep hills. I will take the bike into NYC to drive on the Greenway along the Hudson River. So, i need torque, amp hours, acceleration to cross busy streets and speed to get through some "unknown' neighborhoods. Any thoughts from your subscribers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your feedback

[@TailHappyTV]

🙏 thanks! I just spent a handful of minutes looking over the spec sheet on it for you, I don’t really see any reason why not to get it other than maybe price is a bit premium, but good features are included no doubt. I like that it has the included suspension seat post just like on the bike in this review. I cannot speak for how good the torque sensor is, I know sometimes they feel better on some bikes compared to others. The battery seems like the right size for that bike, and Samsung cells. If it were not for the Vanpowers urban glide ultra topping out at 20 mph, I’d tell you to take a look at that one, because that was an excellent bike for a similar price, but if 28 mph is essential for you then you’ll have to skip that one. The hovsco city cruiser I reviewed was also excellent and very similar specs compared to the euphree, I can tell you for sure the hovsco torque sensor was two thumbs up. Hope this helps, I don’t have any plan to be getting the euphree any time soon but I bet you’d be happy with it. If your heart is set on it, grab it and enjoy the rest of the warm weather this year. Happy riding ⚡️🤙

RAD is going to have to do a LOT better at this price point, especially with manufacturers like Wired eBikes coming out with such amazing fat-tire models for exactly the same money.

I’d bet Rad is going the way of Van Moof. Just about every VC has been burned and the companies are bloated with uncompetitive inventory (ie $700 off on rad step over) and too many employees.

Lots of companies are in trouble.

Apple and DJI are not even in the same Universe in terms of sustainable competitive advantage. Rad Power has none. They sell the same cheap Chinese bikes as HUNDREDS of other companies. Worse, they are overpriced and underpowered. With China struggling economically look for more cheap e bikes to flood the market. Great time to be a consumer, not so great to be a bloated bike company. There is no loyalty or brand equity in the low end market, price and performance are king.

Review of the suntour suspension seat post is almost helpful. The ultra cheap "accordion" suspension seat posts do not bob, or interfere with pedaling. I've seen a previous review of yours (iirc) where you called the suntour better than some rear suspension setups, but I don't remember you bobbing like a clown, then. Have you tried preload adjustments on this one? Is it preset for lower weight? I understand you just want a motor cycle, but that would seem like a deal breaker for people who want bicycles. Also dangerous for handling/endo on extreme rutty high speed roads/paths.

It went together easily in less than an hour. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years.

Yeah if you're a heavier person or if you want power and speed do not buy anything from Rad Power bikes their bikes are extremely conservative in regards to peak power and torque. A "750w motor" from them is basically a 500w nominal motor with a peak of 750 watts max and a lower amp controller so it's a bit misleading. RAD Power does this to comply with federal e-bike laws. The problem is every other manufacturer selling 750w bikes offers true 750w nominal motors that peak well above 750 wats (1000w+). So with that being said if you like power and speed and torque RAD Power isn't for you their bikes are some of the most underpowered bikes on the market. Rad Power should really disclose that their "750w" motors are really 500w hub motors. If you look on their website they don't say anything about this which is really a bad look as it's misleading to their customer base.

We have had the bike for about a week and already the throttle has decided to stop working. The pedal assist works but no throttle. I went to the on line chat and waited over and hour and a half to speak with someone, and unfortunately missed them due to having a life instead of sitting in front of my computer waiting......However they were kind enough to send me a list of useless "trouble shooting" things I could try. Nothing like spending 2k on a bike only to have to try to fix it yourself during your 1 year "warranty". If I wanted to mess around trying to fix things myself I would have just built one myself not bought one that is built with a warranty, it seems according to Rad that the purchaser is the warranty. Follow up. Rad offers nothing for warranty (including a broken bike out of the box) other than extensive procedures for trouble shooting then will send you the new parts.......once you have jumped through all of their hoops effectively. Maybe at that time they will send you some parts.....that you get to install or pay a bike shop to do for you. For the love of God do not buy one of these. I cannot state that loud enough!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN DONT WALK AWAY FROM THESE BIKES. CAUSE YOU SURE AS HELL WONT BE ABLE TO BIKE AWAY. oH AND PREPARE TO WAIT UPWARDS OF AN HOUR JUST TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ONLINE THAT "HELPS" YOU. Below is pert of the conversation I had with one of the on line reps, basically what she is saying is that sometimes the bikes are well built and sometime they are shit. When a shit one goes out it is the customers responsibility to show us what we did wrong so we can maybe send you parts so you can fix it yourself. What a great service, hopefully at some point your bike will work, and in the meantime you get to be an unlicensed e bike mechanic. And all you had to do was trade 2500 bucks for a broken bike.

My wife and I own to city 5+ for two years now. We have 1700 miles on them and start having motor in electrical problems with the bikes. The bikes were never driven in the rain and they look like brand new bikes. Dealing with red is horrible their customer service is atrocious it cost us almost $1000 to get our bikes back on the road. I would never buy or recommend this bike company just because of their customer service it’s horrible

Great reviews! I'm currently looking for a budget friendly e-bike. One thing that is a consideration for me is how these bikes work under pedal power only, (assuming dead battery). Also can you turn the pedal assist off if you just want the exercise.

[@jspayne001]

Maybe also a rolling resistance test would be good, like maybe a timed downhill run no power, just coasting on a set course.

i bought the EUY s4 based on your review-i am 6'2'' tall --this bike does not fit a person over 5'7" in my opinion--if you sit back on the banana seat it wants to do a wheelie--it is hard to peddle even when back--if forward no way a tall person can pedal--off road,even dirt roads this thing is almost useless---you must get paid well to give a review that a tall person can't use-it does have good power

I’m sorry you aren’t happy with it man, I tried my best to give it a fair analysis. It sounds like the “moped style” is the issue, but basically any moped style bike is not good to actually pedal, especially for tall people, which I try my best to emphasize in those videos without being too redundant, moped style e-bikes are not really intended for pedaling

You going to get some cool T-Shirts and stickers one day for merch and sub giveaways ?

[@LumieX]

I'm confused, why is the high step so much cheaper when it's basically the same exact bike?

[@oWASTINGTIMEo]

From my understanding the step through is way more popular and better seller

Is this wheelbase lenght ok for a 6"1" guy like me? Im 155 soaking wet.

I see so many future headaches that this video actually stressed me out!
