Just bought a Rad Mini 4. Anyone have a suggestion on a mirror for it? I'm not too fond of the ones that strap to a helmet or your sunglasses.
You might want to ask Ryan, our moderator, if you can get a pair of free Hemingway mirrors if they are still available. I received a pair and they are great and the fact that they were free made them even better.

I went with the following mirror on my radmini and like the small size that folds up.

I like that one. Thanks for sharing it. I hope I don't mangle the grips up too bad installing it.
Before I got an ebike, I thought convex mirrors were only for blind spots in the immediate vicinity of a vehicle.
My first Radrunner mirror was a 5/6 reduction convex that plugged into the end of the handlebar. My first day with it, it was about sunset and overcast when I heard a car come up behind me. I studied the mirror and couldn't see it. When it passed, I saw that it was about the same shade of gray as the pavement. I threw the mirror away.
I bought a pair that were advertised as flat but were in fact 2/3 reduction convex. That was twice as big as the first mirror, but I still didn't feel safe.
For about 1/3 of what that pair cost me, I bought this one.

It provides a full-sized image so I can see about as well behind as ahead. Because of the long stem, it's only about 15" from my eyes. That helps me get a wide view, and I can check outside that field by moving my head slightly. For parking in tight quarters, I can swing it out of the way by pushing it.
For well over a year now on my mini 4 I've been using handlebar end rear view mirror. I use my bike as a commuter and I ride in traffic so having a rear view mirror is a must.

I ordered this set from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3g37KzH
Both an R and L mirror. It didn't come with the handlebar clamps. Fortunately, I did have a pair and they're working just fine. Radpowerbikes only sells a Left one. So watch out for that!
