Rad Power Bikes Radster Road Review | Rad’s Fastest Hill Climb Yet?

As the first new model in Rad Power Bikes’ lineup since 2022, the Radster marks the next stage in the brand’s evolution. With two configurations, the Radster Road sticks to its roots as a commuter, while the Trail version adopts an off-road approach. In our Rad Power Bikes Radster Road review, we put the sporty asphalt-only version to the test!

One of the major differences between this new generation of Rad bikes and the company’s previous models is a more powerful, far more responsive motor. The Radster Road’s 750W rear hub relies on a torque sensor to engage, which allows it to adapt its output to match the rider’s effort. In our experience, this made for a smooth, natural feeling ride. The upgrade to 100 Newton-meters of torque also gave the bike fast acceleration and plenty of oomph.

Are Location-Based E-Bike Power Cuts A Good Thing?

Amsterdam city officials are experimenting with a new technology that would allow them to reduce the speed of e-bikes in specific locations. The technology is GPS-based and has been developed by a nonprofit, the Townmaking Institute, in conjunction with Odido—formerly T-Mobile Netherlands—for connectivity.

The concept is a simple one: In highly congested areas, city officials would like to be able to reduce the maximum speed of e-bikes in order to increase safety. The technology would not cause an e-bike to brake. Rather, it would reduce the motor’s power output, effectively stepping down the pedal-assist level.
