Our Quick Assessment of the Radster Road

The Radster Road improves on several features of legacy models like the RadRunner 3 and the RadCity 5 by including a more powerful 750watt motor that delivers 100Nm of torque. The inclusion of a torque sensor coupled with its high torque motor makes it one of the nicest bikes to pedal, especially on long distance rides. It’s really easy and satisfying to get this bike up to 28 mph without sacrificing that smooth cycling feeling.

With its slim tires, its torque sensor and its upgraded motor, the Radster Road will appeal most to more traditional cyclists. With the addition of upgraded features like an advanced color LCD screen, its UL Certified battery and dual turn signals you’re not only getting a city bike that’s fun to ride but one that is loaded with cutting edge features.
