Thank you everyone for the input! It helped me to pull the trigger for the RadRunner Plus! Hopefully in a month or so I'll be riding rad  :D

General Chat / The dilemma: Rad mini 4 or RadRunner Plus
November 17, 2020, 03:19:44 PM
I've been on a quest for my first e-bike for a while now and after a lot of research I was leaning heavily on ordering the Rad Mini ( currently on backorder in EU ) but then Rad brought back the RadRunner Plus on the European website and I'm now on a dilemma, going back and forth on pros and cons.

I want to clarify that I always loved how the RadRunner looks ( retro design ) but I wouldn't be considering the single-speed model and nor something without at least front suspension. But the RR Plus alleviates both those issues, bringing me to my current dilemma.

I will be mostly doing urban riding, somewhat hilly area and with many poor quality stretches of road but I'm interested in some off-road fun. The folding aspect of the Rad Mini is not high in my priority list, it has more to do with the form factor ( size ).

Two big question marks that prevent me from settling on the RR Plus instead of the Rad Mini are:

  • Some bad reviews for the seat+seatpost of the original RadRunner ( which is the same with plus ) which means I'd have to certainly upgrade*
  • Lack of comprehensive reviews, overall - and yes, it's actually the "same" bike with RR 1 but still...

*: On the other hand, I'd probably upgrade the Mini's seat too

Any input - especially from anyone that has gotten the Plus in their hands already is more than welcomed!
