General Chat / Rad Power Bikes New Model Discussion 2024
« on: March 05, 2024, 05:04:49 PM »
I honestly haven't taken a deep look at the new models as I just found out about them the day before release. Here they are though: https://bit.ly/3InDL2E

Curious about what everyone thinks, what questions do you have? I have all 4 models en route and full reviews will follow. This is the biggest release from Rad in a long time so I'm really excited to get a close look.

General Chat / Rad's New Pricing
« on: January 19, 2024, 11:23:40 AM »
We've seen prices all over the board over the last 1, even 2 years with Rad. Seems like they have settled on a new "normal". Curious what others think. The RadRover's now feel appropriately priced even though we've seen "flash sales" of the high step as low as $1,199. The RadTrike also feels competitively priced for what you're getting.

RadRover 6 Plus High Step: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $2,099
RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $2,099
RadExpand 5: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $1,649
RadRunner Plus: Current Price $1,899, Original Price $1,999
RadRunner 2: Current Price starts from $1,399, Original Price $1,499
RadWagon 4: Current Price $1,799, Original Price $1,999
RadCity 5 Plus High-Step: Current Price $1,699, Original Price $1,999

This isn't just Rad's sale but hopefully helpful for those trying to decide what ebike to get: https://ebikeescape.com/electric-bike-black-friday-sales/

Biggest thing for Rad Power Bikes is the trike is a crazy $1,200 off. At $1,300 it's less than the Lectric XP Trike.

If you are buying an ebike - links within help support the forum and Ebike Escape (Thanks!). If we've missed any deals let me know!

General Chat / Ebike Accessories - I need your help
« on: June 08, 2023, 07:00:09 PM »
Hi all, Ryan the forum owner here. For new forum members, I also run the Ebike Escape YouTube channel. We just launched our own store selling ebike accessories with the help of BiKASE, a brand which has stood for offering high quality, well designed products. I'm looking for feedback on the store, really anything. What can we do better? What new products would you like to see?

I'm personally a huge fan of the ABC bottle cages and I think the fire resistant/waterproof battery bags are unique. We use them all the time when we store the batteries in our vehicle when we travel - it just helps them not get banged up. Thanks in advance and if you make a purchase I'd also like to hear what you think of our products.

Here is the website: https://shop.ebikeescape.com/

RadRunner / Thoughts on RadRunner 3 Plus and Pricing
« on: March 03, 2023, 11:29:13 AM »
I'm curious what everyone thinks of the RadRunner 3 Plus, especially given the $2500 price point. The Runner is one of my favorites in the lineup so it's nice to have one with better components. Any questions we should try and answer in our review? If you do decide to buy here is the forum's affiliate link: https://bit.ly/3YiefRV

General Chat / "New Rad" CEO Letter - Thoughts?
« on: January 29, 2023, 08:36:03 AM »
I'm sure many of you received this letter from Phil Molyneux, Rad's newish CEO. Curious to hear what the general consensus is of Rad after their RadWagon troubles, lineup etc. What would you like to see from the company? Full letter below:


Dear valued Rad rider,

I?d like to take a moment to introduce myself and give you a behind-the-scenes look at some of the exciting work we?re doing to improve your experience as a member of our community.

My name is Phil Molyneux, and I?m the new CEO at Rad Power Bikes. I was born in England, reside in San Diego, and consider myself fortunate to live in an area that?s ideal for impromptu ebike rides.

Our founder, Mike Radenbaugh, brought me on board in March of 2022. As with many founders, as the company grows they value bringing on more seasoned leadership. As someone who began building racing motorcycles in their youth, I was proud to accept the torch from a like-minded, former teenage tinkerer.

I was drawn to Rad because I have a lifelong affection for developing world-class products. If you?ve ever enjoyed a Dyson appliance or a Sony Electronics item within the past few decades, for instance, there?s a good chance that I?ve had a hand in it. The opportunity to work with new products that promote sustainability sealed the deal.

Since its inception, Rad Power Bikes has set both the pace and the standard for the ebike revolution. This road hasn't always been easy and we've faced numerous challenges.

As a young company, we recognize that we have made mistakes. Now we are dedicated to learning from them.

The culmination of these efforts represents the ?New Rad,? one that combines the forward-thinking innovation of our early years with the knowledge and resources to make us more customer-focused than ever before.

This begins with a laser focus on safety and reliability. From the design phase, through component validation methods, to the ever-improving quality assurance activities within our factories, we are doubling down to ensure safer, more enjoyable rides.

In addition to improving the quality of our products, we are deeply invested in delivering a delightful customer experience, both on and off the saddle.

We acknowledge that there is still room for growth in our customer support operations and are actively working to improve them. For those who need to connect with a Rad specialist, we are continuing to explore ways we can provide more immediate help, including a new chat function that we launched in December. In addition, we will be revamping our online help center to make it easier for you to find the self-help resources you need to keep riding. As we implement these remedies throughout the year, we hope that you'll notice the difference the next time you reach out to us for assistance.

These changes will keep Rad on a more sustainable path and allow us to better address your most pressing ebike needs.

We are excited about the future of Rad and the impact we can have on the world. We couldn?t be more thrilled to be on this journey with you.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty.

Phil Molyneux - CEO

General Chat / New Rad Model Coming 12/6

General Chat / $999 RadCity 4 - Is this a good deal?
« on: November 10, 2022, 08:29:21 AM »
I believe this price change is new on the high-step model of the RadCity: https://bit.ly/3hxm4mV

Seems like a great deal to me though this model has been around some time. It's interesting that the step-thru is not available so I wonder if the non-Plus City bikes are getting phased out of the lineup completely. Curious what others think of this deal. Using the link above for any Rad Power Bikes purchase helps support the forum (thank you!).
