Just purchased RadCity 5 plus. Definitely true. No way to turn off battery. Key is required to remove battery only. Can replace battery without the key once it is off the frame. I find it to be a negative myself. Though a person can still ride a bike away with a battery turned off and locked type system, at least they won't have electrical power to do so and have that advantage. Just my 2cents

I'm a bit confused, could you clarify something for me. You mention your crank and front hub a couple of times and others have written about the bottom bracket. You are talking about the bottom bracket that your pedal cranks are attached to right? So the bike mechanic found the bottom bracket to be completely dry? If not, are you talking about the front wheel axle bearings when you say front hub? Please clarify. I'm a novice and some of this was unclear to me. Thanks, I appreciate it. JA

Hello Hbomb. I like the style of that backrest you chose. Where did you buy it from?
