Hi all!
I'm Kara. I help out Ryan at EbikeEscape.com. This weekend I have been working on t-shirt/apparel designs for our rad community. I am new to apparel design and to using this clothing company store. I would love your feedback on the designs and apparel offerings before I post it to EE.
Two art designs: RADical Adventurer and RADical Commuter
Ebike Escape store to view designs: https://ebike-escape.creator-spring.com
Thank you!!
i like 'em!

Hi Kara! I like the design, and it strikes a nice balance by not being plain or overly complicated. It's refreshing and to the point. The designs do seem focused on two groups though, and I don't completely fit either one. I do ride actual mountain bike trails with my RadMini, but I tend to think of myself as a free rider who is just at home on pavement or in parks and beaches. Maybe a third design that says "Radical Rider"? That way people can be specific, or just be RAD in general 😊

Hey Paul! Thank you for the positive remarks. You are right...these two categories are not inclusive. I like the Rad Rider idea! I will create this version too. I can see using the Be RAD on a future design. Thanks again. I appreciate it!
Hola Kara,
The design is cool, colors are bright and "happy" . I myself like the more subtle (Olive, saddle, Fall colors) and can't go wrong with black IMO.

Hi Roberto! Offering more subtle colors is possible. I'll need to change the graphic colors since it wasn't showing dark on dark. I'll work on this possibility. Thank you for your thoughts!

received my "radical rider" shirt and hoodie orders.
nice design and good quality!
will try to get some "action shots" on our ride this weekend and post here.
Great stuff! Would different RAD models be too complicated? I have two picked out as soon as my finances recover from my Radrunner Plus purchase. Love high-viz colors for riding. Going for bright orange and would love safety yellow or green.

Please do! Glad you like them.
RJ - This is something we could do but I think we'd need to get some more orders in order to justify the time involved in designing these.
