Rad Power Bikes is Back with the RadRover 6 Plus

The RadRover 6 Plus is a sturdy, hard-tail, fat-tired, e-mountain bike

Rad Power Bikes first unveiled their RadRover range back in 2015, jumping into the ever-expanding electric transport market. Their "Rad" vehicles now cover a whole spectrum of e-bikes and e-scooters, catering to a loyal customer base that has grown bigger and bigger every year. The Seattle-based manufacturer is back in 2021 with the RadRover 6 Plus, the successor to last year's RadRover 5, featuring a ground-up redesign. The RadRover 6 Plus is a sturdy, hardtail, fat-tired e-mountain bike with some really cool features to reduce the wear and tear on your internal components.

The RadRover 6 Plus comes in two almost identical models

Equipped with a 750W brushless geared hub motor and a separate, pedal-only, 7-speed Shimano gearset, the RadRover 6 can climb hills 25% faster than previous models. Power comes courtesy of the easy-to-remove, semi-integrated 48V battery, which can propel riders over a range of 45 miles.

The RadRover 6 Plus comes equipped with Kenda Juggernaut 26" x 4", K-Shield puncture-resistant tires, and hydraulic disc brakes for the inevitable bumpy ride. Large, wide fenders cover the wheels, and integrated brake, tail, and halo headlights come as standard.

RadPower Bikes have never really been big on large, flashy touchscreen displays, so the minimalist LCD display is no surprise. There's only basic telemetry: speed, distance, and battery capacity.
The RadRover 6 Plus comes in two almost identical models. The step-through model is just minus the frame's supporting crossbar to give easier step-through access.
