Shimano Acera feels more smooth compared to Shimano Altus based on my experience.Īventon Pace has TEKTRO HD-T285 180mm Hydraulic Disc Brakes. Aventon has better gear ratio with 11-36 vs 11-34 but Radcity offers a slightly better drivetrain Acera vs Altus. It has 11-34 gear ratio.īoth electric bikes have similar drive train. They are still reliable but don’t expect much from them. Sometimes you will face problems in changing gears. Radcity has Shimano Acera derailleur which is an entry level derailleur. Hydraulic disc brakes are more reliable.Hydraulic brakes need less maintenance as they have enclosed system which won’t be affected from dust or dirt.

You don’t need to apply full power for powerful stop. Compared to mechanical brakes Hydraulic Brakes are easier to operate. This makes it very easy to operate.Besides that I am not a big fan of mechanical brakes. What I like about these brakes are their brake levers which has integrated bell on it. Radcity has Tektro Mechanical disc brakes with brake cut-off cable. Also it is a much lighter e-bike (without accessories on it) which compensates the battery capacity difference.īattery is located on downtube which gives a clean look to the Aventon Pace e-bike. It isn’t a large battery capacity by any terms but you can get a similar range like Radcity as Aventon Pace 500 has a more efficient motor compared to Radcity. The realistic range you will get on your Radcity is around 25 miles.Īventon Pace has a 48V 11.6 ah battery capacity. But this is an “ideal range” like the range you see on cars. Range of Radcity is 40 miles with full battery. Especially in step-thru model you need to be careful when getting on and off the bike as you may hit the battery. The battery isn’t integrated to the frame.

     3.5/5 Battery and Range of Radcity and Aventon Pace So if you live in a hilly area, Aventon Pace will be a better fit for you.Īventon pace can use throttle but in order to activate throttle you need to pedal up to 5 mph. Geared hub motors provide a better hill climbing power than direct drive motors. It is rated as 500 watt motor and it is a geared hub motor. Rad City top speed is 20 mph You can use throttle all the time on a Radcity electric bike.Īventon Pace 500 uses same motor brand like Radpower which is a Shengyi motor. Also torque value claimed here don’t seem to be very true as it is not possible for a hub motor to create such high torque which is even more than mid-drive motors. For this reason they have good initial acceleration but lacks efficiency and hill climbing skills.To my surprise Rad power generously claim 750 watt for their motors as Shengyi confirmed that they don’t have any 750 watt direct drive motor. Direct drive motors are first generation of electric bike motors and they don’t have any internal gear. Rad city uses a Chinese motor which is a direct drive motor.
