While awaiting for my bike to be delivered. I have been stalking this board for helpful information from people that have already experienced headaches. And from what I have read, the product is reliable enough mechanically. And most of the complaints are directed towards the electrical or software.

Which is fine by me. I am comfortable dealing with anything electrical/software.



I love mine, only issues I had was from a bad wreck.  Tearing the hydraulic line just enough to need to bleed them all the time.  I reached out to rad support and had an agent in a few minutes.

Been using mine to commute back and forth to work twice a week since summer.  Only have about 300 miles on it but no signs of having any issues.   

If you live on a 3rd floor apartment they are great for strength training as 80lbs is no light carry for a bike.   ;D.

It looks as if Radpower installs various brands of brakes on the Radcity 5+. If the brand is printed on the brake, that could be a lead. Measuring the barb with a caliper might help. I'd provide the information to a savvy parts vendor.


Thank you, rad support gave me a part number but only can replace the the whole kit.  If I got to buy a new kit I'm getting a better brand for sure.

Service & Repair / Hydraulic break line replacement
September 10, 2023, 02:37:21 AM
After a pretty bad wreck I ended up with a tear in my Radcity5 + ST's hydraulic break line and a titanium plate in my wrist.  It's only about 2 - 3 inches from the lever.  I'm looking at either replacing the whole line or just shorting it a little bit.  I can't find specs on the break line itself.  What is the size or barb that it use?
