Grace’s Rad City Step Thru has arrived safe and sound from FedEx. This being our second Rad Power bike, the assembly should go easier so we’re making a time lapse series but going slower on how to tighten your spokes, etc. Then we’re off to take a test ride as Grace gets the hang of riding her bright and shiny new eBike!

Finishing our Rad City bike assembly, we begin by pumping up the tires to 50 PSI, very happy to us a good tire pump and are left wondering how long it would take a portable hand pump to partially file a tire in the field! When adding air, be sure the tire and tube are centered to avoid sidewall bulges, etc. Lastly, it’s time to take our new Rad City outside and do a final inspection before taking our beloved new bike for a spin.

As we continue assembling our Rad City bike, sooner or later you MUST adjust the spoke tension – so let’s inspect them right now! Next we will install the front fender and light assembly, not so easy unless you have 3-4 hands. Then we will make some personal adjustments based on your performance and comfort requirements.
