The RadRover 6 Plus Fat Tire eBike is the latest version of Rad Power Bikes original model. The RadRover’s heritage goes back to the company’s origins that started with a kickstarter campaign.
The latest RadRover rolls on 26×4-inch Kenda tires and a 60mm travel RST suspension fork make it at home on pavement as well as the trails.
The bike is equipped with five pedal-assist settings, plus a zero assist option. The range is stated at 25 to more than 45 miles on a charge and has a top speed of 20 mph.
The aluminum frame has a payload capacity of 275 pounds and the bike itself weighs in at 73.4 pounds.
As with many similar eBikes, a 750-watt motor propels the bike, and hydraulic brakes provide stopping power. A Shimano 7-speed rear derailleur rounds out the drivetrain.
When it comes to electronics, the RadRover shares some unique features with other RadPower bikes such as an optional USB port to charge accessories like a phone. It also comes up with an headlight and taillight that also serves as a brake light.
Available in both standard (or “high-step”) and step-thru models, the RadRover 6 Plus Fat Tire eBike retails for between $1,000 and $1,500 with free shipping at radpowerbikes.com. A pro build option may also be available for an additional fee. The step-thru model is suited for riders from 5′ 2″ to 6′ 2″ while the High Step version is better suited for riders from 5′ 7″ to 6′ 2″.

Rad Power Bikes is the nation’s largest eBike maker. The company was founded by Mike Radenbaugh, who as a teenager was looking for a better way to pedal his bike the 15 miles to and from school. He tinkered with spare parts and started converting standard bikes to ebikes before launching a crowdsourcing campaign to build the first RadRover. It was Radenbaugh’s mother who suggested naming the company Rad Power Bikes.
