The Freshly Charged Take
We had heard some rumors of slow customer service at RadPower, but it seems like that was due to a surge of initial orders for the 6 Plus, and their customer service has sped up again. Overall we have very few complaints about this bike, and are happy to recommend it, and other RadPower bikes. The 6 Plus appears to be a good all-around bike, with a focus on all terrain use.
