I don't see a way to make a comment for the poll so I guess commenting here will be OK.
The Rad City is single speed, I believe. Not a lot of people choose a single speed even in an ebike. I dunno, I could be wrong but it's just my thoughts.

The Rad City is a 7 speed bike not a single speed bike. The Rad Mission was a single speed.

A couple of years ago, I bought a Radrunner because I needed a bike and gearshift models were on backorder. Later I bought a 7-speed ebike. I discovered that I don't like a gearshift on an ebike. Without a motor, you shift down for more torque to climb a hill. With a motor, you use PAS for more torque. You can climb a hill without slowing down.

rjp, thank you for the correction. I was wrong. I went to the Rad web site but they don't list the Mission any more but the City is definitely a 7 speed.I guess I should have done that before I made my first post. My bad. :-(

Ddaybc, no problem we all make mistakes. At least it didn't cost you any money,  :)
