The RadKick is Rad Power Bikes’ most affordable e-bike yet — and its first belt drive
Rad Power Bikes announced a new more affordable, lighter-weight e-bike for urban commuters who just want a cheap, simple way to get around. Dubbed the RadKick, the new bike starts at $1,199, making it the Seattle-based company’s most affordable model yet.
