RadMission discontinued?

[DuaneL]

Looks like the Radmission might be being discontinued I just looked on the Radpowerbikes website (USA) and see this message on the RadMission page "Sold out, this deal went fast and we will not be restocking this ebike" (I ordered 2 the first day of the sale) a bit of searching and I found a reddit thread from September where someone says a store associate told him the RadMission is being discontinued.

Maybe clearing stock for Radmission2?

That is my guess (would explain why they would call it the Radmission1) also maybe a Rover 7 and looking back at their 21 black Friday sale they were discounting the soon to be discontinued models to make room for the new so I am just glad I grabbed 2 Radmisssions at 499 each and after contemplating the upgrade display I got 2 yesterday morning and they were out of stock by evening.

It will be interesting to see how this revolves.

In one scenario I see a Rad Mission 2 at about the same price.

In another scenario I see Rad moving upscale with higher spec-ed models and leaving the lower price segments because it is too competitive to compete on price alone.

Radmission batteries just went on sale for $200 with free shipping on their site.  That's another reason to believe it's being discontinued or replaced with a new version. 

I just picked up another.  Using PayPal Honey gets you another $28.55 off.

I was one of those that grabbed one at $499.  It came in a box that had it labeled as a Radmission 1.5.  Anyone know what the 1.5 is about?

I din't even notice the 1.5 but yes both of mine were RadMission st 1.5 (the st would be step through but the 1.5 is odd)

I have two Radmissions, one from the sale and one from a year ago. The new one has different front and rear lights, there may be some other component differences that I didn?t notice.

Radpowerbikes.ca still has just the battery, going for $260 CAD, down from $599.

The Canada site says they are not shipping to the US.
