It looks like an old-school fixie messenger bike, yet still offers good power and 24 mph (38 km/h) top speed. I’m currently putting miles on a Ride1Up Roadster V2, and I’m loving this thing. While single-speed e-bikes are certainly a type of commuter e-bike, I gave them their own category due to the rising popularity in 2020 of this style of e-bike. Plus, the RadCity already comes nicely outfitted with included lights, fenders, and a rear rack, so you’re perfectly set up for commuting right out of the box.

The RadCity offers a number of accessory-mounting hardpoints that are a bit of a golden handcuffs situation. It offers familiar Class 2 e-bike performance with a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) from its 750W rear hub motor. The RadCity is a $1,499 e-bike from the largest electric bicycle company in the US, Rad Power Bikes.
