******sold!!!****** thanks to Samantha and Judd for the assist on this one!!

Hey all,

I’m selling my Rad City ebike. I decided to upgrade to a mid-drive ebike, so the Rad has to go. I bought this one about a year ago and it has ~1800 miles on it. I just put a new chain on it and new brake pads. The wheels could definitely use a truing, but mechanically it’s in great shape. I’m also including an extra battery (which probably no longer functions at 100% but should still have plenty of life) and an extra charger, which would be worth a pretty decent chunk of change if sold separately…I just don’t have the patience to do that. The bike also includes a pair of matching panniers and a top tube bag, and I’ll throw in any extra tubes I have (26” schraders, because Rad…) and the tool kit. This is a decently large bike, so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone shorter than 5’7” or so. If you’re interested, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with RadPower Bikes and the benefits/tradeoffs of owning one, just so you know what to expect. And of course, I’m happy to let you take a test ride.

Fair price! Curious what mid-drive ebike are you buying?

The Gazelle Ultimate T10+. Go big or go home, right?

Sweet ride! I read Bosch are rolling out a firmware update to increase torque on certain Bosch gen 4 motors from 75 to 85nm. EBR says your ebike has the Performance Speed MY20 motor, the Bosch press release mentions Performance Speed MY21 motors get the upgrade but also says “Performance Speed drive units cannot be retrofitted”. Might be worth checking with the dealer what the score is. Regardless I love Gazelle’s step-through ebikes and yours looks more capable than the EasyFlow I test rode for a month a couple of summers back.

Oh that’s interesting! I wouldn’t complain about an additional 10nm of torque, but frankly 75nm already feels pretty good, especially on my hilly commute. Because of the heat and wearing work clothes, I rode pretty conservatively this morning (first commute on the Gazelle, and my first real ride on a mid-drive), but I imagine the ride home will be seriously fun.

The Bicycling review rated the bike very highly, let us know how it performs climbing hills. I’ve read the gen 4 motors are significantly quieter due to the redesign.
