Ezip electric bike reviews12/29/2023 ![]() ![]() That being said, the bike is totally fine on moderate hills and can even handle heavy hills as long as you don’t mind pedaling as well to help it. With a single-speed, the RadMission also isn’t designed for the most extreme of hilly terrain, since there isn’t a lower gear to shift into. ![]() I also plan on testing the RadMission as an inexpensive gravel e-bike, so it might be nice there as well. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I have no idea if its good or not, but I hope it will add a bit more cushion when I do things like ride across grass. I bought this cheap one (you need the 27.2mm size for the RadMission). I personally found the RadMission to ride great on my roads, but those of you whose streets look like a lunar landing site might want to invest in a seat post shock. This e-bike isn’t designed to be comfortable off-road it’s designed to be comfortable on decent roads. There’s no suspension, which is par for the course for commuter e-bikes. It’s a city e-bike that is optimized for urban riding. The company calls the RadMission a “metro bike”. And Rad Power Bikes has knocked it out of the park on this one. So to get that level of quality at a price far below Rad’s normal price range is a serious service to the industry. These are the e-bikes that Goldilocks would choose. They are neither the highest quality nor the lowest quality e-bikes out there. They make good quality e-bikes at reasonable prices to provide high value. Instead, Rad is what I prefer to call a “value e-bike company”. The important thing to realize here is that Rad Power Bikes isn’t a “budget e-bike company” like Ancheer or MacWheel or other ultra-cheap brands. But I’m more than willing to look past those initial trade-offs because the bike rides just as well as any Rad Power Bike I’ve ever tested and did I mention the bike only costs $1,099?! I got a bit excited when the bike arrived… Why is that important? And you don’t get some of the accessories included in the price, such as fenders or a kickstand. There are also some slight quality tradeoffs, like plastic pedals instead of metal. You get a bit smaller battery (504 Wh instead of 674 Wh) and a bit smaller motor (500 W instead of 750 W). ![]() The main trade-offs are that you lose your gears and your LCD display in favor of a smaller LED display (meaning no odometer or speed readout). The bike is great, but some small sacrifices were made to reduce the price from Rad’s standard level of around $1,500 for most of their e-bikes. I think the RadMission is one of the coolest e-bikes Rad Power Bikes has made, due in large part to its bang-for-your-buck value.īut there’s also a few things to keep in mind here. Then keep reading for my full, detailed review! Extras: LED display for battery meter and pedal assist selector, LED headlight/tail light, half-twist throttle, mounting hardpoints for Rad Power Bikes accessoriesĬlick play below to watch my RadMission video review and see the bike in all of its glory.While it makes a few modest compromises to hit its impressive $1,099 price point (and is on sale as a bundle for $200 off right now through Black Friday), it scores big wins in most categories, making this an incredibly high bang-for-your-buck e-bike. The RadMission electric bicycle from Rad Power Bikes is one of the company’s most interesting e-bikes to date. ![]()
