Rad Power Bikes, one of the most well-known electric bike brands in the US, has just announced the launch of…
Class 3 ebikes are awesome. Looking forward to the new designs! Though the smartphone integration is an active downside, and remote unlock is useless fluff imo, as you should be locking up your bike anyways. Having a good mirror is almost more important than radar. I wish that stuff could be removed to lower the price…
That said, I’m glad to see more 20x3 in (or 4in) ebikes in a portable, city form factor. It makes a lot more sense than long but thin 27in wheels that can get jammed in cracks in the concrete, storm drains, or tram/train tracks.
You know I’m not going to stop hating ebikes just with the addition of features. They’ve brought the worst parts of car culture to the trails and added children on electric fucking motorcycles to the mix. You should learn to fucking pedal that fast if you want to go 20 on a bike trail, not just press a button and yell “get out of my way” at actual pedestrians.
