Rad Power Bikes announced the RadKick, a more affordable, lighter-weight electric bike. It’s also the company’s first bike to come with an optional belt drive.
Rad Power Bikes announced a new more affordable, lighter-weight e-bike for urban commuters who just want a cheap, simple way to get around. Dubbed the RadKick, the new bike starts at $1,199, making it the Seattle-based company’s most affordable model yet. And for those desiring fewer grease stains on their pant cuffs, the RadKick also comes with an optional belt drive in place of a traditional bike chain, which is a first for the company.
The addition of torque sensors, which regulate the motor based on how hard you push the pedals, could also help sweeten the deal for those customers interested in the belt drive version. But you’ll have to pay a little extra, to the tune of $1,399. Just like the rest of Rad’s lineup, the RadKick is a Class 2 e-bike, with a throttle-assisted top speed of 20mph.
