Rad Power Bikes has become well known and appreciated over the past couple of years (since early 2015) when they first launched a fat tire bike followed by a cargo bike and then a miniature folding fat ebike.

If you don’t live near a bike shop but want an efficient city ebike or something a little more […]
The highly anticipated, industry disrupting affordable speed pedelec from Juiced Bikes has finally arrived. The CrossCurrent is a $1,500 electric bike that can go ~28 mph if you are willing to pedal with some gusto… Or you can get the optional trigger throttle and struggle to hit higher speeds while draining the battery more quickly.
