There is a Rad City 5 bike for sale in my neighborhood. Less than 20 miles on it and seller is asking $1k. Also comes with a front basket.
Seller got this bike from Rad for an online review and Rad did not want the bike back. He is trying to sell it now.
Anyhow I am trying to find out how reliable they are since I will not have any warranty. I have read that there have been issues with the controller and mushy hydraulic brakes. Plus as I understand Rad uses a proprietary battery on that bike. I am just not a big fan of any form of proprietary stuff on bikes.
I am just trying to find out what to expect and if there could be any expensive traps. I always buy used bikes and always fix them up myself but my experience with e-bikes is limited so far.
Thanks
