I can't quite find in your post what you don't like about it.

So far I am about 700 miles in with a rad city 5 step through. I would, be hard pressed to come up with any complaints other than it being a bit heavy.  But I knew that coming in.

Which USB adapter?  Looks like the one for the RadCity 5 is in stock: https://radpowerbikes.pxf.io/9gX5qe

Originally they were shipping out the 8th.  I assume as they've gotten more orders the date got pushed back.

At this point I've ridden the RadRunner Plus, Rad City ST 3, and Rad City ST5.

Of these, my pick (the one I just got), is the RadCity ST5.   The RadRunner just felt too much like a little moped to me.   I loved how quiet the RadCity 3 was, but it did lack a little something on acceleration and going up hills.  The 5 is much better on  acceleration and hills, but certainly a bit louder (not as loud as the Runner).

For me, the RadCity 5 felt, and looked, like a bike.  It arrived yesterday, and I'm happy with my choice. 

So far, the only real annoying thing for me is that it feels like Rad has gone out of their way to make everything non-standard.   I think the tires are a standard size, but customer support won't outright say that.  The rack on the back has larger tubes than I've seen before, which means none of my panniers fit.

I do like that the rack on the back has mounting holes.  I"ll likely be building my own rack for the back, but it's super nice that there is a good way to attach things.

New ones look like they ship by 10/31, but some orders are shipping now!

We tested the City 5+ out on Friday and ordered 2 as soon as we got home.

Congrats!  What were your impressions versus the other models?

Another poster mentioned the tires.  Did you get a feel for if the tires could be replaced with something a little grippier?

Reading the warranty I'm not too worried about the tires invalidating the warranty, unless somehow the tires actually cause the damage.

Can you say more about the rims being different?
