General Chat / I'm back! RadRunner 2.
April 18, 2025, 04:32:41 PM
So after owning way to many ebikes I've narrowed it down to a Lectric Xpedition for my wife and I to run around on and I purchased a RadRunner 2 for a commuter. The original RadRunner was the first ebike that I truly loved and regretted selling, all the others had faults that I hated. So I took advantage of Rad's "blow-out" sale at $999 and grabbed a RadRunner 2. The following are what swayed me back to RAD:
Don't need or want a App thru my phone.
I don't care for torque sensors.
I have no need to go faster than 20mph.
My commute is 14 miles each way and I have secure parking and a place to charge at work.
Didn't want a folder and don't need suspension forks.
Simple is just better for me.
Reason I originally left RAD:
Thought I wanted bigger wheels. Nope, 20" works for me.
Thought I wanted something faster. Nope, eats the battery faster.
Thought I wanted a belt drive. Nope, HATED the Lectric ONE so much.
Thought more money got more ebike. Nope, I wasted dumb money looking for that "perfect for me" ebike.
RAD was constantly looking like they were going under. So many crazy staff changes and layoffs. Didn't (and STILL doesn't) look good. But they somehow survive another year.
So yeah, I'm back in RAD land again.

If Rad is introducing new models are they going to boost up their call center? I know they did massive layoffs awhile back and some major shifts in management. I loved my RadRunner 1 but didn't replace it with another Rad product when the time came because of all the drama. The new RadWagon 5 looks promising though.

I'm curious as well. I sold my 'Runner and now miss it. I just don't think my wife would like the high passenger pegs on a RadRunner Plus. So I'm holding out till the big reveal! What's your wish list? Mine:  Low passenger pegs, true 750watt motor (or higher?) and possible dual battery option!

Gone. It died a horrible death. No longer available.
#6
Lost the nut and the flat washer that bolts to the frame. Now reduced to $400 FIRM.
#7
Yup, you guessed it! Didn't feel good that morning and didn't want to dig for the trusted snips and grabbed the wrong pair. Live and learn I guess.
#8
Other view of hub wire damage. Blue skinny and white both cut clean thru. PM if interested.
#9
Note this is the Class 3 version.

Brand new, never powered up, complete. I cut 2 wires going into the rear hub and lost interest in fixing it. Being sold AS IS. Not shipping, no parting out either. Located in Norfolk, VA.

So the guy I gave the RadRunner 1 to is selling it. When I gave it to him he rode it home and that's it, been sitting ever since. So I sent a friend over and she purchased it back for $300 with everything still on it. Mirrors, lock, front rack, rear trunk, both sets of keys. I'm disappointed that the guy I gave it to didn't use it but if he wants to pedal everywhere that's on him I guess. And if he's selling it to pay a bill or something that's on him as well. I thought it would help him branch out his options for a better job and give him a little bit of transportation freedom. So anyways, my friend got my old RadRunner 1 back for $300 and that's a heck of a deal.

SOLD. Thanks for looking!

I pulled this off my RadRunner 1, and re-installed the stock LED display, before passing it on.  I lost the instruction sheet but I suspect that Rads site has a how-to video. It's basically plug and play. Will ship it thru USPS. Asking $20 plus shipping. Call dibs and PM me .
