    Limited Edition Aurora

    You May know this already, but just in case, the Throttle does not work in PAS 0. You must be in PAS 1 or higher for the Throttle to function.

    Aurora Limited Edition Mid-Drive Review

    First, thanks for the time you’ve taken to write your informative review. I look forward to future installments. I also received a new Evelo Aurora Limited Edition (ALE) and have ridden it a bit to determine if the fit is good for me. Regarding the tires, while riding on unpaved ground such...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Thank you RangerDave! Your reply is icing on the cake! I really appreciate your recommendations regarding gear usage and PAS levels. Once I get my RadCity I’ll let folks know my experience of resuming uphill riding from a standstill. I will first try with zero PAS, zero throttle, and go from...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Maine. A few kind folks who are about my height and or bike inseam have provided helpful feedback. I’m pretty sure I’ll buy the RadCity Step-thru. It looks like I’ll have to wait a bit before I can place an order - my husband checked Rad’s website today and discovered that this model is...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the Pace throttle requires that the crank make one full rotation before it kicks in. My local post office is on a very steep hill, so I need a bike that will let me start up a steep incline from a complete stop. I’m feeling more confident that the RadCity...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Thanks very much Ken. I appreciate your info and understand that I might want to get an aftermarket seat post. I think there are seat posts available that provide suspension and move the seat backwards some to provide a pedal-forward like position. After the feedback I’ve received I’m pretty...

    The problem of the "disposable" ebike

    Yes, for important and highly valid environmental reasons WE all need to push for legislation that makes “planned obsolescence “ illegal. If it were illegal to sell a product designed to become waste sooner than it should that would be a glorious day! Write to your politicians now.

    The problem of the "disposable" ebike

    My washer and dryer are 32 years old and my dishwasher is 30 - they are well made from back in the day but new appliances might not be made as well for the reasons that ebikemom mentions.

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Thank you. I do understand what you’re saying, however, I live in a state that does not offer much in the way of eBike sales so, unless I pay for airfare, this is how I need to gather my information. My thread is intended to receive helpful measurement feedback, which I can assess and add to my...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Thanks for your reply. I live in a state that is an eBike sales store desert! Unfortunately, I’d have to fly somewhere to test ride a quality eBike. In over a month I’ve been able to test ride only my husband’s new Rad Rover (very nice but too high for me) and a rental Pedego, and I now know...

    THE NEW RPB CITY STEP THRU - CITY & TRAILS TOO

    Hello Banzai! I truly appreciate the info you’ve provided on the Rad City Step-thru. I’m interested in buying one for me but have concerns regarding whether I’d get full leg extension and wrist fatigue/pain. It sounds as though the Rad City Step-thru is physically comfortable for you. Would you...

    How does your Rad City Step-thru fit you?

    Hello Rad City eBikers! My goal for posting here is to get feedback from owners of the Rad City Step-thru who have a bike inseam of 31 1/4” and are about 5’ 7 1/2” tall. In the penultimate paragraph I give instructions for measuring bike inseam. My arm reach, from arm pit to center of palm, is...
