![]() ![]() The dual display configuration allowed Rad Power Bikes to optimize where each piece of information is displayed based on years of working with electric bikes and thousands of owners. With the bike charged up and ready to go, we powered up the new dual display system on the bike and started playing. It’s a small tweak but makes for a nicer overall charging experience. Rad Power Bikes has upped its charger game with the newly redesigned RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru with a new wall mount for the charger that makes it easy to store the charger on the wall near an outlet when not in use. Those are rare in this area which makes Tannus Armour a great option to protect the unnaturally bulbous 26″ x 4″ fat tires on the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru.Īfter assembly, we dropped the bike on the charger for the night to let it get nice and charged up. We installed the Tannus Armour on our personal RadRover Step-Thru and the RadRunner we reviewed and have found them to provide great protection against just about everything except full blown nail punctures. That’s quite an involved process as the motor for the bike resides in the rear wheel, but the bike was designed for this and we tackled it in around 15 minutes for the rear wheel. The rear rack only requires a few extra bolts, while the Tannus Armour requires the removal of the rear wheel. The company also sent us a rear rack and a set of Tannus Armour tire liners for the bike that we installed after the bike was put together. Assembly is straightforward and Rad Power Bikes provides great instructions on the included Owner’s Manual to support the process. We bolted on the pedals, headlight, front fender, etc., and had the bike up and running in just over 30 minutes. ![]() We pulled it out of the box and excitedly attached the front wheel with its massive 26″ x 4″ Rad Power Bikes by Kenda Juggernaut fat tires.ĭisclaimer: Rad Power Bikes sent the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru to the author free of charge for the purposes of this review. Its glossy charcoal and black livery is refined and sophisticated, raising expectations before the bike was even fully assembled. Right out of the box, the sleek new lines of the RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru were striking. Best decision I've made for myself to be active since my injury.Rad Power Bikes announced a pair of new RadRovers a few weeks ago, and after getting through the chaos of the official launch, the company sent us a RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru to review. The Mini still takes up more room than any of our other regular MT bikes. It's closer to normal bike size while the Rover is sort of a size up from a good MT bike or almost a small motor dirt bike. Shouldn't have "mini" in the name at all. The Mini 4 is much larger than you think. ![]() I'm dialing in my power usage and getting familiar with using lower power settings whenever I can. ![]() But the harder the motor is pushed, the faster the battery will drain. The Mini 4 handles the hills just as well and cranking the pedal assist (PAS) up to 5 in 3rd gear as Gordon notes is like butter. But I may still get a Rover down the road if I can talk a buddy into it as well. The Mini 4 travels better for me and I upgraded the tires to 4" with the suspension seat and everything I can do to soften the ride for my 48 yr old, but injured self. I would've kept it if I had a better place to ride it without having to load it up and go somewhere first. I test rode it in my hilly neighborhood and it did fine. Just too big for me and my family's travel space. It's not that the RR6 was too big for me. Click to expand.I just purchased, then exchanged an RR6 for a Mini 4 last month. ![]()
