With its oversized tires and powerful motor, theRadRover 6 Plusis not your average bicycle.
It doesnt pretend to be a regular bike with an electric boost.
But the 6 Plus is perfect for escaping the undead in almost any condition.

The 6 Plus isnt for lycra-clad triathletes who obsess about every ounce of their bikes.
This cycle is meant for tackling the mean streets, going places, and getting things done.
Its spring fork has plenty of travel, which smooths out the bounce over potholes.

Although, I have to admit that the 6 Plus does look different.
However, on the north of the park, a steep hill left other cyclists panting.
I simply twisted the throttle on the Rad and zoomed past my competitors without breaking a sweat.

Who’s laughing now?
An integrated headlight also will be great for a nighttimeEscape from New Yorkwhen the power fails.
The stopping power was excellent, thanks to the hydraulic disc brakes.
The 6 Plus uses a smaller, lighter hub motor than previous models.
The seven-speed shifter worked smoothly with enough range for most situations.
Despite the lighter motor, theres no getting around the fact that the 6 Plus is a chunky bike.
Dragging it up flights of stairs is not fun.
But the upside of all that weight is that I found the whole package reassuringly stable and well put-together.
For techies who love metrics, the 6 Plus features two LED displays.
The left bar end displays more details like pedal assist level, battery charge, and headlight status.
Its all easier to use than youd think.
At $1,999, the 6 Plus is moderately priced for an e-bike these days.
For the quality and ability to tackle any situation, this ones a buy in my book.
Zombies wont stand a chance.
