Here is my analysis: https://ebikeescape.com/rad-power-bikes-radrunner-2-review/

I also compare the RadRunner 1 and RadRunner 2 as well as the RadRunner 2 and RadRunner Plus. The image comparison in the post is helpful to spot the differences.

Thanks, Ryan; that was useful.  I wouldn't have been nearly as diplomatic as you, though.  $300 more and still no fenders, no more than one gear, no suspension or a real display?  Why not just get all of that, and a lower price, with a Mini?

I was wrong in my original posting. It launched at $1199 and most recently was $1299 so $200 more. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that all of the other models are going up in price ($200 as well?). That will put the RadMini more in line with the RadRunner 2, but also having owned a RadWagon I see a benefit of the more versatile rear rack on the Runner. If you don't plan to leverage the extra weight capacity and have a passenger then I agree - the RadMini is probably the better choice.

Has anyone actually received an email from Rad announcing the pricing changes? If so please forward it to me Ryan at ebikeescape . Com

Here is a link to it on the Rad Power Bikes website: https://bit.ly/3dWi3Uc

I'll be trying to do a review on it - curious what others think of the changes.

Thanks for sharing! I'm not surprised with the ways things have trended this year which is why I recommended to lots of people to buy over Black Friday if there was a discounted deal on a model that appealed to them.

Hello folks,

We are looking for a Bike rack for our Rad Rover STs. We are in Toronto and would like to hear what other people in Canada are using. I have seen the Hollywood racks and the others listed on the ebikereviews website but we are finding it difficult to find something up here. We are not adverse to ordering from the States but it seems that everyone is out of stock.

Canadians...Let me know what you are using to haul your bikes around.

Thanks!
Mike

Hi,.. not sure what the heck "jiuer" is posting about.....?  Im thinking you're wanting a fat tire bike carrier for your auto ?
This is what and from whom  I ordered...    Im in Canada over on the "wet coast".

I haven't received my 2 Rad Rovers yet but the carrier seems very solid.

We have a set for review, just waiting on some snow!

Hi there, the forum has grown beyond my expectations and it's so great to have an awesome group of folks here sharing information. I'm very appreciative that I don't have to play 'moderator' very often. Thanks to everyone who has used links on the forum to help support both the forum and keeping me reviewing ebikes through Ebike Escape.

With that, as a small token of my appreciation I have $60 discount codes for Himiway (long story). The first 15 people that send me a PM asking for a code I will send you a code that you can use on their website to get a variety of items for free. (Top tube bag, Bluetooth bike speaker, multi tools, pump, bottle cages etc)

Thanks again!

Ryan

Posted on the main thread as well but here is the Rad Black Friday sale:

Rad Power Bikes officially announced their Black Friday sale! They are offering a $100 discount code to use for a future purchase. While it doesn't sound like a big sale - this deal can be stacked according to their website: https://bit.ly/2VMSVHl

This link will take you to the full list of their sale so you can get an idea of how the deal can stack: https://ebikeescape.com/electric-bike-black-friday-sales-2021/#radblackfriday

These videos are a beast to film and edit but I hope it helps some folks out (and I'm sure I missed something) comparing the RadRover 6 Plus to the Aventon Aventure: https://youtu.be/7FKhqlGNyAE

I am guessing we will see a Black Friday deal beyond the current offers though it appears they are waiting for the actual day to announce. I am tracking deals here: https://ebikeescape.com/electric-bike-black-friday-sales-2021/

It is surprising that they raised that much so soon after the last time. I guess the redesign of the Rover and Rad City improved their outlook. Mobile service and standalone locations? Hmmm, maybe I should have applied for a job with Rad instead!

You'd make a great Rad employee I have no doubt! Kind of wonder if the early employees got stock options - the amount raised is just crazy.

Here is our Conestoga review for those considering it for their RadWagon: https://youtu.be/224GNadKk94

Thanks for posting. What effects did you have on range and how bad is this closed when riding with sidewinds? It seems like a huge sail-type of side impact when riding in the open. Any advice you can give on these points?

A weighted review in my opinion would also list both good and not so good points right away, not just that it's expensive.

I happen to read the car replacement point every now and then and have to say: given the amount of time it takes Rad to ship parts or bikes to my location, it cannot replace a car, at least not one that you're driving daily.

We've only ridden it in moderate sidewind and it is noticeable but not unsafe at least for us. More testing needed to see how it feels in harsh conditions (we wanted to get an initial video out asap). Hard to say how much it will impact range but I'm sure it does at least somewhat - that's something that would be a bit difficult to test.

Rad just announced a $100 off sale on select models and mentioned discontinued Rover 5 and City 3 & 4. No word yet on what will replace them yet though but I am anxious to see what the new non-plus models will look like. Check out the sale (and support the forum): https://bit.ly/2VMSVHl

Anyone want to speculate?
