They look like pretty similar bikes: https://99spokes.com/en-AU/compare?...ver-5-2021,radpowerbikes-radrover-6-plus-2021

The Rad Rover 6 has hydraulic disc brakes whereas the Rad Rover 5 has mechanical disc brakes. Prices is more for the Rad Rover 6. There's a few other differences if you look closely.

Seems like two questions, only one of which is Georgia-specific.

Those who know seem to prefer hydraulic disc brakes, but then there’s that whole pesky hydraulic fluid maintenance thing.

Maybe you can negotiate a discount on the six, since they don’t have the five?
