RadRover 6 Plus Electric Fat Tire Bike – RAD POWER BIKES
RadRover 6 Plus electric bike at Rad Power Bikes, the makers of best-in-class electric bikes for all types of different riders and applications.
Designed for the path less traveled.
The ebike model that started it all: Hop on our flagship fat tire and you may never want to leave. Now in its sixth version, the RadRover 6 Plus powers through all types of weather and terrain, with the technology and design to make it your best ebike ride yet.
A beast of an ebike. A beauty to ride.
Rad designers engineered the frame for enhanced ergonomics, solid handling, and an ideal fit for riders at the bottom end of our height recommendation range.
Power through hills
The 750W geared hub motor delivers enhanced hill-climbing capabilities. Take on daunting inclines with more power – even at lower speeds.
Pop in. Pop out.
Removing your battery is easier than ever: the sleek, proprietary semi-integrated battery was engineered in-house for an enhanced user experience.
Nothing but the VIP treatment
Custom cable covers do your ebike right: protected shifting, brake, and electrical connections equal easier maintenance.

Safety is paramount to Rad engineers. Reflective striping is incorporated on tire sidewalls, plus the LED headlight and an integrated taillight with brake-light indicator keep you visible to all.
Precision in practice
Every bike, without exception, receives a thorough 50-point inspection. How in-depth is it? Even the screws are double-checked.
Brake confidently in any weather conditions
Ride rain or shine. Every bike comes with brakes tested for all-weather stopping ability.

6 (six) is the natural number following 5 and preceding 7. It is a composite number and the smallest perfect number.
In nutrition, biology, and chemistry, fat usually means any ester of fatty acids, or a mixture of such compounds, most commonly those that occur in living beings or in food.
The term often refers specifically to triglycerides (triple esters of glycerol), that are the main components of vegetable oils and of fatty tissue in animals; or, even more narrowly, to triglycerides that are solid or semisolid at room temperature, thus excluding oils. The term may also be used more broadly as a synonym of lipid—any substance of biological relevance, composed of carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen, that is insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents. In this sense, besides the triglycerides, the term would include several other types of compounds like mono- and diglycerides, phospholipids (such as lecithin), sterols (such as cholesterol), waxes (such as beeswax), and free fatty acids, which are usually present in human diet in smaller amounts.
Fats are one of the three main macronutrient groups in human diet, along with carbohydrates and proteins, and the main components of common food products like milk, butter, tallow, lard, salt pork, and cooking oils. They are a major and dense source of food energy for many animals and play important structural and metabolic functions in most living beings, including energy storage, waterproofing, and thermal insulation. The human body can produce the fat it requires from other food ingredients, except for a few essential fatty acids that must be included in the diet. Dietary fats are also the carriers of some flavor and aroma ingredients and vitamins that are not water-soluble.
A tire (British spelling: tyre) is a ring-shaped component that surrounds a wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through the wheel to the ground and to provide traction on the surface over which the wheel travels. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, are pneumatically inflated structures, providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock as the tire rolls over rough features on the surface. Tires provide a footprint, called a contact patch, designed to match the vehicle's weight and the bearing on the surface that it rolls over by exerting a pressure that will avoid deforming the surface.
The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric, and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, tires were metal bands fitted around wooden wheels to hold the wheel together under load and to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Pneumatic tires are used on many vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks, heavy equipment, and aircraft. Metal tires are used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or other polymers) tires are also used in various non-automotive applications, such as casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.
Unmaintained tires can lead to severe hazards for vehicles and people, ranging from flat tires making the vehicle inoperable to blowouts, where tires explode during operation and possibly damage vehicles and injure people. The manufacture of tires is often highly regulated for this reason. Because of the widespread use of tires for motor vehicles, tire waste is a substantial portion of global waste. There is a need for tire recycling through mechanical recycling and reuse, such as for crumb rubber and other tire-derived aggregate, and pyrolysis for chemical reuse, such as for tire-derived fuel. If not recycled properly or burned, waste tires release toxic chemicals into the environment. Moreover, the regular use of tires produces micro-plastic particles that contain these chemicals that both enter the environment and affect human health.

Great bike for a 76 year old, bought the step through and glad I did buy this model. Only have 22 miles on it because of rainy weather and modifying hitch carrier to make it safer to haul.

After test driving many different brands and types of ebikes I decided on the RadRover 6 Plus. After driving it for a few hundred miles, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Rad bikes are extremely well designed and built. They are extremely smooth riding and the components operate smoothly. Of all the bikes I test drove, the Rad bikes had one of the best pedal assists as far as feeling much like a traditional bike – accept very much easier, of course. It compared very favorably with the much more expensive mid-motor designs. I chose the Rover because I wanted to take it on camping trips and explore back roads/trails. I couldn’t be more pleased with how well it handles even the roughest and steepest roads. Yet it seems to be equally well suited for pavement and city streets. I have been very impressed with Rad as a company and how well they support their customers in all aspects of buying, assembling, and responding to questions. I highly recommend them! Read Less

I wasn’t much of a biker before I bought the RadRover 6 Plus electric bike, but now biking with the RadRover 6 is so much fun. We bought the bikes to take to the Adirondacks this summer and I can’t wait to get there and explore the many roads and trails in the area. The RadRover 6 Plus is extremely well made and the fat tires make it trail ready.
