The RadKick is Rad Power Bikes’ most affordable e-bike yet — and its first belt drive


Rad Power Bikes is pushing to keep its bikes affordable.

And for those desiring fewer grease stains on their pant cuffs, the RadKick also comes with an optional belt drive in place of a traditional bike chain, which is a first for the company. In a statement, Rad Power Bikes CEO Phil Molyneux said the RadKick was designed to fill a gap in the company’s lineup, which was identified with the help of customer feedback. The addition of torque sensors, which regulate the motor based on how hard you push the pedals, could also help sweeten the deal for those customers interested in the belt drive version.
