I was up on Mackinaw Island this weekend. There are no motor vehicles allowed. Many people were riding e-bikes which made me think of you. I was wondering if you were still happy with yours? Would you buy that brand again? Thanks for any help.

I'm really happy with my e-bike and would buy the Rad Power bike brand again. It was making a bit of noise in the hub at one point but it it whisper quiet now. I might be tempted to get the geared hub version with more torque in the motor next time. (It was a hard decision between getting the RadRover with a geared hub and the RadCity.)
The RadCity I purchased, recovers energy when braking but I'm not sure that is that big of an advantage and it does not free wheel as well as a geared hub. More power would be nicer though for faster starting and hill climbing. It is really not that bad though and there is less to potentially go wrong with no gears in the hub. It would be fun to try them both - maybe I might modify my mountain bike to use battery assist and a geared hub.
Hey thanks for the info!
Well that might be a reason for your son to get one so you can try them side by side lol.
