I prefer the RadCity over the CrossCurrent for the following reasons
- its a better value when you include the adjustable stem, fenders, rack, generic dolphin battery.
- the wider tires are much easier to ride on trails with gravel and sand.
For hub bikes, I have 2 with a 350w geared hub, a RadWagon (same direct drive hub as the RadCity).
I would say the 350w geared hub on the CrossCurrent will climb better than the 750w direct drive hub.
On flat roads, the direct drive is going to run more efficiently and will definitely be quieter (almost completely silent) vs the constant sound from geared hub.
I'm not a big fan of the CrossCurrent proprietary battery. Sure you can always replacing the wiring but I don't need to do that with the RadCity. At $60/ah, those CrossCurrent batteries are expensive. The RadCity battery I can get on other sites like Dillenger and Luna where the cost is around $30/ah to $38/ah
