I'm 65 and had a mild stroke 3 years ago. Got a little weakness in the left leg, but nothing major. I test rode the Rad Runner Plus and was just about ready to order one, in spite of some of the things I didn't like about it. Read about the ST2 and test rode it. BAM! What a difference! Went home and ordered one that's scheduled to arrive today. Can't wait!

I ride a motorcycle (Honda Shadow Aero) and it was important that I get one that I could flat foot at stops. To mount the Shadow, I stand at the left side, grab my right leg and throw it over. Not very graceful, it compensates for my lack of flexibility. So when I went shopping for an ebike I wanted something that was easy to get on and off and give me some stability at stops.

I test rode the City and Runner, but it wasn't until I rode the ST that I knew I had found the right bike.

In preparation, I did buy a Cloud-9 seat. I wasn't impressed with any of the seats on the other ebikes I test road.

So I guess the short answer to this topic's subject "Who is it for?", is that the ST2 is just right for someone like me.

I own a motorcycle and have just ordered a Rad Mini ST2. I'm curious if there are any other motorcycle riders here and what their thoughts are on when they ride one over the other. Right now I'm going car-less so these are my two primary forms of transportation (I can take the bus when needed). The plan is to use the Mini on errands, get me to work and back, and any other local jaunts including scenic outings to get some exercise. For longer rides and out of town adventures I use my motorcycle (Honda Shadow).

I'm also interested in how motorcycle riders have dealt with the differences in rules of the road for ebikes.

Thanks!

I just ordered a Mini and can't wait to get it. I'm going car-less for awhile and will use the bike to get me to work and run errands, as well as some pleasure riding. I ordered several items:

Sunlight Cloud 9 seat

Ibera bike rack
https://amzn.to/3tb1viq

Ibera bike panniers
https://amzn.to/3Ifn8Vb

Ibera trunk bag

Handlebar mirror

Victgoal bike helmet

The rack and bags were "must haves" for storage. The seat was a "must have" after test riding several Rad Power bikes.  The mirror was a "nice to have" but I'm into safety. I work nights so I'll be riding a lot at night and will likely add more lights to the bike.
