Kt Ebike Kit
Badomero Schoulund
An electric bike is simply a traditional bicycle that has been equipped with a battery-powered motor that makes it easier for riders to climb hills, go faster, haul cargo, and cover longer distances without getting tired with support from a pedal assist feature or a throttle. It is also known as an ebike or e-bike.
You can ride an electric bike the same way you would ride a traditional bike. The only difference is you have the option to summon power from the motor to make pedaling easier or operate the bike without pedaling.
At Rad Power Bikes we make Class 2 and Class 3 electric bikes. All of our electric bikes include a battery that lasts 45-50 miles per charge, depending on the amount of power used, the type of terrain being ridden on, and the weight of the rider and cargo.
The geared hub or direct drive motor channels energy from the battery to the pedals, which adds extra power with each pedal stroke to help the rider operate the bike. This is the pedal assist feature. Some electric bikes, like Rad's, also include a throttle which propels the bike forward without the rider having to pedal, similar to a moped.
There are two ways electric bikes can be made. They can either be designed to be electric bikes from the start or developed by converting traditional bikes to be electric. An ebike conversion kit is a set of equipment that can be used to convert a traditional bicycle to an electric bicycle. Since ebikes for sale at Rad Power Bikes come standard with the motor and other necessary components, an ebike conversion kit is not necessary.
We know that different riders have different needs. While all of our bikes are great for multi-use situations, some models have special features. Electric cargo and utility bikes can be used to haul gear or ride with children. Electric folding bikes are designed to fit in RVs, trunks, small apartments or other compact spaces. Electric city and commuter bikes are designed for urban travel, reducing car trips, and saving you gas money. Electric off-road and all-terrain bikes are designed for camping trips, hunting, fishing, and light mountain biking.
In addition, we also design step-through electric bike models that make it easier to mount and dismount the bike and enhance mobility for all kinds of riders. All of our electric bikes can be used to climb hills easier, cover long distances, and haul cargo without getting tired.
We also sell ebike accessories that you can use to customize your ride. These include products for storage and transport, safety and security, seating and comfort, and ebike upgrades like phone mounts and USB chargers. To help you find the best accessories for your needs, you can select a curated electric bike kit or use the ebike customizer option at checkout.
There are environmental benefits that come with riding an ebike. Electric bikes are a key form of energy efficient transportation. They do not give off emissions while riding, ease traffic, and reduce congestion. Check out how ebikes can cut your carbon footprint with our emissions calculator.
Electric bikes can help you save money on gas since they provide a reliable alternative to cars. In addition, ebikes can reduce costs associated with parking and routine car maintenance.
We sell online and through RadRetail stores and local bike shops in the U.S. and Canada. When you shop at a retail store, you can test ride models and ask for advice from our retail team to find the best ebike for you. Find a location near you here. Our customer service team can take your order over the phone, answer additional questions you have about ebikes, and help you pick your preferred shipping option.
We design high-quality electric bikes our customers are proud to own. Every ebike is rigorously tested to ensure quality before it reaches your doorstep. To learn more about our design and quality assurance process, read our guide.
Our Product Support team can help you troubleshoot issues online or over the phone. For service maintenance and repairs, you can take your electric bike to a Rad Power Bikes service center, book a mobile service visit from our third-party partner, velofix, or bring your ebike to a local bike shop in our network.

Bryant, I do not see this as a solution. I check routinely to make sure I am keeping up with weekly/annual goal. Like Hewie I ride a road bike, an assist road ebike, a cross bike and also cycle virtually. I was hoping you fixed this by now. I will just have to keep manually changing my bike. I also like tracking separate bike mileage for maintenance but would like an all cycling option to track goals.
The idea behind this is to not rely on the user's good will to set the correct activity type for each upload. It would make things automatic, given the initial action of creating the gear. If none is selected/created, then we can assume that the user does not care that much about performance, and has no interest in leaderboards anyways.
I think requiring a gear selection in order to be included in the leaderboards is a step too far. I know a number of people who are serious riders and who compete for segment KOMs all the time yet don't bother with all of the features that Strava allows such as inputting their specific gear such as bikes or shoes. Other than that, I totally agree with the main concept you talked about. People should be able to identify a bike as an e-bike in the gear list and then, if they select that bike for a ride, it should default that ride to an e-bike ride. Seems like a very simple programming step they could take that would eliminate a lot of unintentional upload mistakes.
They may not know about how to change it. I mean when I got an ebike I had no idea how to change it or that I even had to. I stole a KOM from a local person who I happen to know personally (he owns the local bike shop I frequent) and he explained it to me it needs to be changed manually. No big deal but yes automatic would be nice. You can however flag stolen KOMS you believe were done on an ebike and Strava will disallow the ride. I had the same thing happen as BONES here above, I created an ebike segment down a local road, average speed was almost 80 km/h (speed limit on the road is 60 go figure), obviously a car so flagged it and was deleted. So they could just be users like me, I don't care about KOMS (though use it for motivation to better myself) I only use Strava to track mileage ridden and how often I go, very useful info for my doctor. But that's no excuse to be a %&( and steal something somebody that does care worked for.
Tired of strava choosing my bike. They have no idea what I'm riding and I wish they would stop it.
Forcing a user to use a ride road ebike or mtb when it isnt is garbage. First let be honest cause we know how that is. Provide them a forum for their choice. Ebikes for ebikes etc Ride for rides and gravel for gravel. Come on. Specializing is the ONLY way this is going to work. Otherwise its garbeg and strava really has no meaning and it is losing it anyways. And yes everyone wants leaderboards for specific activities. Duh.
@Salomon - What do you mean when you say Strava is choosing your bike? The bike selected for a ride is set as the default by you, the user. When you look at your gear list, you have the option of which bike to select as the "default" and it will list that bike for all rides unless you change it in each activity. I am not aware of any time that Strava picks which bike to assign to a ride. Maybe I am missing something in what you are trying to say?
@Salomon - What are you using as your device? For me, if I use my Garmin to record my ride and my Garmin is set to my mountain bike profile, it will load as a mountain bike ride. If I use the road bike profile in my Garmin, it will upload as a road bike ride. This could be part of the issue possibly.
Otherwise, I would suggest submitting a support request to Strava to have them look at the issue. It shouldn't be changing what you have as a default without some other input, so it could be a glitch in their system.
e-bike rides should have a different default bike then a bike ride. It is unlikely that a person uses a regular bike for an e-bike ride. Because of this, every e-bike ride has to be manually edited to change the bicycle used to get full usage statistics per bike and it's gear.
currently only 5 bike definitions in creating a bike profile road,mountain,TT, gravel, cross. It would be good to add an E-Bike to list as from their the athletes activity bike profile could be the default activity type as an E-Bike Ride if their default bike is their E-Bike and yet strava has rules banning E-bikes from segment leaderboards.
To take this into context, a friend who is 74 years old has been targeted & harrased by others because they notice he is an older rider and then they are getting upset with him setting KOM's etc, now he is not tech savy, I have had set his settings private so no one see them, because he would have edit every activity manually, is this the way we treat our elderly and encourage them to exercise and stay healthy ?
Because if you choose e-bike, you lose access to all your records on segments. My segments and data are private, but I want to compare my efforts to previous efforts. Unfortunately, Strava doesn't allow e-bikes to see their segment data or compare segments between rides.
