When it comes to folding ebikes, there’s one thing most of them have in common: straight handlebars with a high, narrow grip. The RadExpand 5 Plus breaks the status quo with a low, BMX-style handlebar that sets the tone for how comfortable and fun it feels to ride. The RadExpand 5 Plus is an upgraded version of the previous RadExpand 5, and it brings a lot of great improvements and features that make this ebike a tough competitor to compete with. The battery and motor are impressive, but since it can only go up to Class 2, the RadExpand 5 Plus is limited in what it can do.
RadExpand 5 Review: Rad Power Bikes Newest Folding Electric Bike
I received the RadExpand 5 Plus as a review unit. The ebike arrived pre-assembled and all I had to do was install the handlebars and a few other small parts, which was quick and easy. Rad Power says that all of their RadExpand 5 Plus come pre-assembled, so it should be a simple installation. You can check out a full breakdown of how to install RadPower’s ebike here.
Handling: The low BMX handlebars and a well thought-out design ensure excellent handling.
