    RadCity Step-Thru Tire PSI Recommendation?

    Investor9872 wrote: "Wow! My wife's Step-Thru bike does feel like our Porsche..." Hello Investor9872, Lol couldn't help but notice your remark comparing the Step-Thru to a Porsche. That was my impression while riding it around the neighborhood, and especially when climbing the hill to my house...

    Can we change the culture?

    As shown, wearing an action cam provides excellent security when nobody is around to see what is going on, or worse, see it and slither away. I'm always wearing one when I'm running or riding a bike since they mount easily to a helmet or a chest harness. They are not in the way, yet it is...

    Ebikes aren't cheap; Cheaper than monthly Rx's and Gym Membership

    The only time I use meds is after a visit to the dentist - and I ain't giving them up. Otherwise my heart is my strongest asset next to my hard head. Thank goodness for both because I don't know what a doctor is. Never had one, probably never will. I see you are 37yo. I am 72yo. I hope you can...

    Motobecane Electric Dual Suspension Shimano E8000 Mid Drive HAL Eboost Pro 1x11 XT

    Hello MisterM, thanks for the comment. The more I delve into this bike the more I like it. To make full use of its abilities would require some travel far & wide. A bit overkill for me here locally but entirely usable. It's an aluminum framed plus bike that will accept 3.5" wide fat tires. As...

    Rad City Step Through availability

    They will be busy for the next few days processing all the orders. Probably receive a transaction completed notice either today or tomorrow. Looks like many of the other companies are experiencing the same shortages of bikes as well, so its a sign that bicycling is getting real popular. RPB is...

    History Reinventing Itself For The Better

    Looks like part of the White House press corps showed up. They never mesh words and thoughts. Such an honor!

    History Reinventing Itself For The Better

    The Super73 frame is a utility design that has been a mainstay for several decades. For instance the Beam Manufacturing Company of Webster City, Iowa marketed a little putt-putt with the name of Doodle Bug using that basic frame design in 1946 thru 1948. The Doodle Bug was just a little...

    2018 RAD Power Bikes - RADMini Mojave Desert Cruiser

    I recently added a third RAD Power Bike to my collection. This time it was a white Mini and although each bike is completely different in design, all provide excellent service as a means of transportation. As with the other bikes the Mini got its break-in run in a nearby off-road section of the...

    Is the Rad City a good bike without the battery?

    I ride mine without power assist as much as possible to get the exercise. On PAS 0 the speedometer and odometer will still function. Otherwise I would probably just leave the battery turned off. There are times though when a little boost is necessary.

    No Vindictive Biases, Thank You

    Among all its favorable assets in keeping the public informed, the Internet can also show a downside when someone starts to spew false information. It has become popular lately to advance one's own status by slandering others, and a good person can be forever and erroneously vilified in this...

    Rad City Step Through availability

    Hello mrgold35, I was never notified about the early May batch of Step-Thrus. Now they have posted the next batch will be in late May. Hope you managed to score one. All the orders for bikes must be driving them nuts. As of last Friday, there were still some white Minis available but the black...

    Rad City Step Through availability

    Hello mrgold35, The Step-Thru does sell out very fast. The last batch sold out in minutes and they sent out a cute little followup message promising to build more of them. Best to be on their mailing list and then submit your order as soon as you receive the notification message. I was fortunate...

    The Rover from RAD Power Bikes - Fun For A Lifetime

    Hello mrgold35, thanks for the comments about Albuquerque, NM. Used to travel through there a lot before 2000 so I have a good mental picture of the surrounding mountains. The hill climbs make my rides a great workout. The wind makes them even more interesting. We don't get a lot of wind but...
