    Battery Cost: $1,299

    Their new mid-drives are really, really nice. Came close to doing the LX instead. But, I'm an old guy. Don't want to be shifting instead of watching for cliffs and traffic...

    Rize looks really nice. Their batteries were a little high for me. I came close to getting one.

    Battery Cost: $1,299

    This bike is really nice. I'm thinking Sondors is a pretty great guy. Maybe the Elon Musk of two wheels. His new motorcycle is amazing for the price.

    Battery Cost: $1,299

    This issue is moot for me. I purchased a Sondors MXS and got it this week (based on the review on this wonderful site). I did look into getting my old bike's batteries rebuilt. Thought it was a little pricey.

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    Talking about smaller, cheaper vehicles, in order for the world to go electric a standard battery must be developed for each type of vehicle. So you can have exchange centers (or vending machines) available when you get low on juice. You won't own your battery you'll use it for a fee (when...

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    Thanks for the advice. I always hate to talk about what I'm going to do. Because then everyone else does it and the price goes up. Sondors is looking pretty good to me. He is an upstart and a little gregarious. But The price of the bikes are good. Replacement batteries are cheap. And...I think...

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    We think alike... The proprietary Rad motor is something I'm going to avoid. This was my first choice at the outset. But, I just hate the concept of lessening performance just to save a couple bucks, and I really need some guts in my motor. The other manufacturer I was looking at batteries cost...

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    My bike is built on a weird frame. I love it a lot. I also hate it a lot. because many regular accessories won't work. This is a good idea though.

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    I've actually been pretty happy with this bike up until key failures in support and battery design occurred. It will get me up the mountain behind my house. Which I would have bet against at the outset. It was a mistake to get direct drive. But like you I was naive. I didn't want to do the...

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    Thanks. My present bike is a Ecotric Seagull, 1000 watt direct drive. Around here there are small steep hills and gullies off road in the park behind my house. This bike frequently stalls on them. I ride these areas 40% of the time. 60% of the time I ride parks with less steep hills and the bike...

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    The Rad City is rated at 750 watts, but it is direct drive. So, it has half the nM of torque. So the model does matter.

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    Hello, I've considered a Rad Rover for a long time. But, the main issue that's held me back was an older YouTube video graphically stating that the Rad Rover's 750 watt motor is built with less power than a typical Bafang motor. Recently I saw another YouTube video where an owner of both bikes...
