Both bikes are Rad City Step-thru.

Thank you for your reply. I need to know WHY someone would buy a 750w vs a 500w then. What is the advantage???

Thank you David, but I don't understand what you wrote. I am pretty simplistic when it comes to understanding anything about e-bikes. (I race a dragster, but all I know about the car is HOW to race it, my mechanic takes care of all the rest). I don't know much about e-bikes either, except how...

I am confused. I have read on many different sites that the battery capacity in watt hours is the most important factor to consider when buying a bike.

I am planning to buy a trailer to pull on my bike. The weight of the trailer and person will be 200 pounds. I will only be pulling the trailer on the rail trail, flat terrain, no hills, no streets to cross. I will be getting a RAD City Step-thru with 48v and 14 amp. and a direct drive hub...

Feliz, that is a good point. I just need to go and buy a wooden spoon, as someone suggested, to help dislodge it. :)

Just got a reply back from RAD about my problem. . . . . . . . not really happy about the reply, because I want to be able to go 20mph. But, I will still give it a try and see if giving up the option of going 20mph will be worth having more resistance in PAS 1. One of the difficulties of...

Hi Sandee, well, just because the Rad City step thru is not the right bike for me, it doesn't mean it is not right for you. Yes, I still find the battery difficult to remove, (it is jammed in there very tight) but I would not let that one thing deter you from buying the bike. If you had...

I did send them the report on the speed my bike gets to at each PAS level, will report back when I hear from them. Thanks!

Thank you very much Vincent, I have called RAD twice but never got through. Will call the tomorrow morning and report back what they say. Thanks for your help!

This is what my bike does. I am pedaling as SLOW as I can, without getting any slack while pedaling. In 7th gear. In PAS 4 and 5, I get no resistance at all, it feels like the throttle is on full blast. In PAS 5, I can barely peddle fast enough to not get any slack while pedaling. Why...

Reply from the guy who posted his You Tube video on how to change the PAS settings: Yes the displays are the same but they possibly have locked theirs to restrict people from changing them. Best bet would be to contact RAD directly as I'm sure they would be able to help. Worst case scenario you...

Because I am getting vastly different view points from different people I talk to, I am continuing my search for an answer to my problem before I do anything. When you say no one is "forcing" me to use 7th gear and that I should try lower gears, well, that just does not make any sense...

NO, that is not correct. if I want to go 3 or 4 mph, I have to STOP pedaling. The slowest I can go on PAS 1, gear7, is about 14mph, with continuous pedaling. If I want to go slower, I have to pedal slower, but then there is NO resistance, I am just spinning my pedals. And I do not believe my...

Here is a video on how to change the PAS level, the LCD screen "looks" the same as on my Rad City, but obviously isn't, because I can't get this to work. Is it possible to change my display for this one?

WOW! What great customer service that is! You definitely cannot go 3-4mph on level one on my bike.

I just asked my bike tech if he can change my crankset. Apparently, from what I hear, many bike shops will not do it. Guys on the Rad FB group say the Pro Lite is a good crankset and many say they enjoy their bike far better after making the change. So, I will give that a try. I just want to...

Thanks for that info, but I am not willing to spend another $600. on the bike, as it is brand new. I would rather sell it and buy something else, which is what I may end up doing.

Is it only women who complain that the bike goes too fast in PAS 1? Yesterday a guy friend (who owns an e-bike) asked me how I liked my new bike and I said I was unhappy with it, because it went too fast in PAS 1. He asked to take it for a ride. He came back and said there was no way he would...

And I do appreciate knowing that I am not the only one with this problem. A few guys on the RAD FB page said they thought I was a troll, just because I said that PAS 1 was too easy.
