Comfort and stability.
I don't get the fatbike trend. Unless you take this in the snow or the dunes, why add all that weight and rotational inertia?
I've moved strictly to riding fatties in the woods. No electric necessary

I've had one of these for a year now and this is worth every penny. I took the fenders off and upgraded the tires to smoother and quieter ones since I do mainly city riding. I had taken this on some pretty moderate mountain bike trails just to prove to my doubting friends it was capable with the stock tires, it rode circles around them.

It's heavy as heck. You don't notice it when you're riding because of the motor but it effects handling. I love mine and would buy a second if I needed it at this price.

With all of their layoffs, closing stores, does anyone know if this company will be here in a week or months to honor their warranty?

Quote from someguy456 :
The roads around here suck, fat tire makes for a more stable and cushy ride just being able to roll over imperfections at 28mph, its more comfortable. The extra weight and energy required are negligible on an ebike, the battery and motor are doing most of the work

Agreed, these bikes are absolutely amazing if you live in a city with horrible road condition. Although these bikes are Class 2 ebikes and capped at 20mph

I have the radcity5 and love it though I would have bought the Rover instead because it is generally $500 cheaper on sale, but the Rover wheels are too wide to fit on standard bus front rack and that was a deal breaker for me

Renters insurance covers stuff like that and is fairly cheap. Just double check the deductible price.

Nope! Plan on fixing anything yourself. Still a good deal.

There are instructions online to raise the mph to 24 with no tools. Takes < 1 minute.

Thanks! I just picked one up for an employee who bikes to work daily. He is autistic and cannot drive and I appreciate all the good feedback here!

If you can't get it covered under a broader policy like renter's insurance (which even then might cover only up to a certain amount, and may not cover theft outside the home), check out Velosurance.

You must first hold the DOWN pedal assist button on the left and the LIGHT button at the same time on the left LCD display. Hold for approximately 5 seconds. Then hold all 3 buttons: Hold the pedal assist UP and DOWN button and the LIGHT button at the same time (hold for about 10 seconds).

Top speed flashes
Press top button repeatedly until 24 or 40 flashes (mph or km/h)
Press and hold mode button to save

Put a tracker on it, a real tracker not a stupid AirTag because they just send the thief a text message saying that the item you just stole has a AirTag and you are being tracked.

Suggestions?

It really is just a marketing gimmick/trend for inexpensive budget e-bikes for the most part. They are mostly grossly overpriced and white-label china imports. Whenever I see a fat tire e-bike it is always one of those cheap budget bikes hardly worth more than $500. Don't believe me? Check AliExpress. You will find all those bikes there for less than half of what those white label resellers are pushing them for. The web sites and resellers who sell these will tell you anything to make you believe that they are good. Stability, carry more weight, more robust, etc.
It really is like putting mud tires on your pickup truck and never taking it off the pavement. Less efficient, less stable, heavy, and everything I wanted to get away from in getting an e-bike. So why do people buy fat tire and add all that crap back into their ride? That is why those bikes all have huge batteries. The bike needs it.
Of course there will always be a small group of people who think they actually need fat tires because they want to ride them on a snow-covered trail or soft sand at the beach. The truth is that not many e-bikes have enough power to get you through soft sand at the beach or through a snow-packed trail. None of that changes the fact that 95% of the fat-tire bikes are still cheap quality bikes with the lowest of the lowest components. I simply don't trust that those bikes are built to support even the bike itself, let alone adding a rider to it.
They inflate the prices on these so people believe that are better than they really are. If you have two identical bikes next to each other, one from AliExpress ($700) and the other from one of the white label resellers ($1,500), most will buy the one for $1,500 because it has a different name stuck on it and a price tag 2x of the other. It therefore must be better. LOL.
