New Rad?

To the extent that Rad seems cutting edge, it's only to people unfamiliar with higher end ebikes. Exposed controllers and hitched batteries, one size fits all sizing, frame failures. Rad's innovations are in the breadth and scale of its marketing.

Noteworthy (I think) is that bike in the pics has a gear driven hub, NOT a direct drive rear hub like the original RAD "commuter". Could this be the new "City"?
