Hydraulic disc brakes are more reliable.Hydraulic brakes need less maintenance as they have enclosed system which won’t be affected from dust or dirt. You don’t need to apply full power for a powerful stop. Compared to mechanical brakes Hydraulic Brakes are easier to operate. This makes it very easy to operate.Besides that I am not a big fan of mechanical brakes. What I like about these brakes are their brake levers which has integrated bell on it. Radcity has Tektro Mechanical disc brakes with brake cut-off cable. So you can expect to have 40-50% more range on a mid-drive electric bike than an identical hub motor e-bike. Ariel Rider claimed Range is 55 miles but I think 37 is a more realistic range you will have with Ariel Rider C-Class. Ariel Rider has a 2amp charger which is a standard charger nothing to be impressed off. But mid-drive motors are more efficient than hub motors especially direct drive motors. If you ride on flat surface Ariel Rider will give you around 15% more range compared to Rad city but once you start to climb uphill you will get up to 40% more range on Ariel Rider e-bike compared to Rad City.Īriel Rider C-Class has a smaller battery capacity with 48V 12ah capacity. The realistic range you will get on your Radcity is around 25 miles. But this is an “ideal range” like the range you see on cars. Range of Radcity is 40 miles with full battery. Especially in step-thru model you need to be careful when getting on and off the bike as you may hit the battery. The battery isn’t integrated to the frame. 4.5/5 Battery and Range of Radcity and Ariel Rider Here in terms of power, speed, hill climbing and efficiency Ariel Rider is a clear winner. But you can use it only when you adjust the PAS level to zero. So you better stop pedalling for half second while riding your e-bike not to create stress on drivetrain and chain.Īriel Rider has a much better hill climbing skill and has more natural riding experience compared to Radcity ebike.Įven Ariel Rider is a mid drive electric bike it still has a throttle. It lacks a gear sensor unlike Bosch mid-drive motors. Top speed of this e-bike is 20 mph but you can adjust speed up to 28 mph. So it is very responsive and gives a smooth riding experience. It has both speed and torque sensor in it. Compared to a Brose motor you will definitely will feel the noise of this motor. It is a very powerful mid-drive motor but it is little bit noisy. It is a Japanese Dapu Mid-drive motor which has a 95 Nm torque. Rad City top speed is 20 mph You can use throttle all the time on a Radcity electric bike.Īriel Rider C-Class is equipped with a mid-drive motor. It isn’t a big deal breaker but doesn’t provide the smooth riding experience of a torque sensor or mid-drive motors. So you will have lot of on-off feeling when riding it. It has a 12 magnet cadence sensor on their e-bike rather than a torque sensor. Also torque value claimed here don’t seem to be very true as it is not possible for a hub motor to create such high torque which is even more than mid-drive motors. For this reason they have good initial acceleration but lacks efficiency and hill climbing skills.To my surprise Rad power generously claim 750 watt for their motors as Shengyi confirmed that they don’t have any 750 watt direct drive motor. Direct drive motors are first generation of electric bike motors and they don’t have any internal gear. Rad city uses a Chinese motor which is a direct drive motor. 4.5/5 Motor Comparison of Radcity and Aventon Pace 4/5 Aventon Pace 500 Stepthrough Rad Power vs Ariel Rider C-Class Radpower RadCity E-bike Here we will try to help you choose the best e-bike for yourself. Both of those electric bike companies are headquartered in Seattle and both have direct to consumer models. I will compare Radcity and Ariel Rider C-Class electric commuter bikes. ![]()
