Rad City

The Rad City is our cruiser style electric bike rental.  It has bent-in handlebars for a relaxed rider position. This comfortable bike comes in one size and fits 4’9” to 5’10”. We usually recommend this electric bike as a rental option for people on the shorter side. If you’d like to sit in an upright position with more traditional wheels (26”) this bike will probably feel like what you’re used to riding with the exception of the added motor that will have you zipping along at 20 mph if you choose.  The bike has a throttle and 5 pedal assist modes so if you’d like to go slower just keep it in pedal assist 1 and 2.  For quicker speeds you can shift into modes 3-5.

Questions? We Have Answers

Yes it does; we have a variety of adjustable sizes that are sanitized after each ride.

Yes, We rent Thule baby seats and they are $10 per day.  These seats fit best on the Rad Runner, Rad City, and Rad Wagon.  To add a baby seat on the checkout screen after you choose your bike at the bottom of the same screen you’ll see an option to + a baby seat to it.

Yes, there is a 1.5 mile trail that covers the entire length of Solana Beach.  Our shop is in the middle of it.  It’s part of a longer 44 mile rails to trails bike path that goes through parts of Oceanside to San Diego. Because the ride is broken up there is some road riding in bike lanes.

We’ve seen the bikes range from 15 miles to 50 miles depending on the model and the rider's usage.  Think of it as most of these bikes can go out for 3 hours of solid riding.  If you’re running errands or stopping you can go all day.   The bike specs will obviously have something to do with your range but how you ride it can also lengthen the range dramatically .  Throttle usage limits your range so those heavy on the throttle will have a shorter range.  If you’re renting an electric bike because you want to ride a long distance, then stay in the lower number pedal assist modes to maximize range.  If you’re only riding for 2 or 3 hours in most cases you can ride in the high pedal assist modes with no worries of draining the battery.  Most Mid-drive models tend to have a higher range per charge, some even claiming 70 to 80 miles of range.

There is no true age limit for the ebikes that we carry, however each rider must be 5'0" and taller and comfortably operate the brakes and gears. Additionally, all riders under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Why Electric Bike Rentals over Other Types of Bikes?

Many people love renting electric bikes in Solana Beach because they cover more ground and explore a great deal of the city. The electric-assist also helps people climb hills with more ease so you can go the distance!

It’s a fact: Electric bikes bring people together. With the confidence-inspiring pedal assist modes, riders of all different levels can stick together throughout the ride. Electric assist helps to bridge the gap between riders with different amounts of experience on the saddle.

Best of Both Worlds: Throttle & Pedal-Assist

Our Rad Power Ebikes give you the option to cruise with the full-power of a throttle or with help from pedal-assist. Using the throttle will provide the most torque and acceleration with no effort involved; similar to how motorcycles work. However, exclusively using the throttle is bad for the bike's battery, motor, and overall health. Not to mention it will greatly decrease the bike's range on a single charge. The throttle is best utilized when starting the heavy bikes from a stop or for when your legs need a break from pedaling.  When using the pedal assist options it feels as easy as pedaling downhill.

For ebike renters seeking an enhanced yet organic biking experience the ideal e-bike mode is pedal-assist.  This option comes standard on both our Rad Power bikes and our Electra Townie Go’s.  Pedal-assist technology allows for the rider to select a setting with one press of a button and the motor will activate when pedaling begins! Our electric bikes are programmed with 5 levels of pedal-assist so that you can customize the amount of effort you put in and the amount of energy the motor and battery use. You'll soon come to realize that using pedal-assist will bring you up to the same speed as the throttle would.  Although with pedal-assist your battery range greatly increases and the health of the bike's components remain stronger for longer periods of time.
