Question: Do Rad Bikes charge when the bike is going downhill/pedaling or does the battery only charge on the charger?

Answer:

Thanks for taking the time to write in! I would be more than happy to help out in any way that I can.

Our bikes do not charge while pedalling or coasting but the models that have a Direct Drive Motor will recharge under braking. These models are as follows;

RadWagon
RadCity
RadCity Step Thru

If there is anything else I can assist with, please let me know.
