Agree with Thomas. And he knows this stuff. I just come from my user experience. My Radmini is more of a purpose bike for me and it's my only real long term experience with a Bafang system and it's rear hub. Forest roads, basic single track and really steep inclines. Much more powerful than...

Then fristiac I'd go ride the Yamaha and see how you feel about the dealer (big deal) and the bike(s). Yamaha motors are just different than Bafangs (I also have a RadMini that's actually folded in my Jeep TJ - it's only used to get deeper into the "boondocks" here in Oregon, not that my old...

https://www.yamahabicycles.com I have a Haibike with the "old" PW Yamaha Motor. Love it - you get out of it what you put into it (if that makes sense). But what I appreciate and respect about Yamaha is that they support the LBS and actually pay them on labor on warranty issue. Not that...

Hi Solom01. Yes some "scooters" can be a pain. But both the Metro and Ruckus are very reliable - both same 49cc. Hondas really have this motor down + their dealer network. And yes both can do 30 on the flat - easy. Actually the Metro is a touch "faster" than the Ruckus. Flat streets - 35...

Umm Solom01 - just a quick response on: "seems like competition to small gas scooters like the Honda Metropolitan, and compared to those it's quiet, probably a lot more reliable" Are you kidding - more reliable? I wish. I (we) have both a Rad (and a Haibike) and 2 Honda Metros. The 49cc...

I did end up getting this bike yesterday (LBS). Thanks to all that provided insight. Price was a factor - nuts at $1900 IMO. Rode it today (30 miles) in all kinds of terrain. It actually is what I wanted from the Tern D8 (got the Tern and returned it - rode it 135 miles - thanks REI) The...

Depending on the bike - https://1859-northwest.myshopify.com. They do a couple of options stock. Really nice people. Ask them - they're really responsive.

Thx. Makes sense. I have a NCX on my mini and it works really well. BTW - Some people (reviewers) didn't like the Radius seat - but I found it to be fine.

Thanks all. I do like this bike. While I do wish it was folding, I can get it in my Subaru Crosstrek. I do have a Radmini that goes in my Jeep and spends most of it's time on forest roads and flat single tracks. The mini has held up well and for this application it works and I like it a lot...

Any experience, thoughts or reviews (I've seen the EBR review) on the 18 Radius Tour? From my test rides I like it plus a great dealer and now priced reasonably. I like these little agile 20"'ers. Likes/dislikes?

If on a bike path. My Radmini IF I rode throttle only - probably 20 miles. The battery is a beast. BUT - why? On streets - just get a Honda Metro or Ruckus. Same price, 100 MPG. As much fun. Faster.

e-bikes-already-at-1-5-billion-annual-revenue-being-fought-for-globally Somewhat interesting is Radpower at $30 million. Basis some Seattle reporting I saw this is up from $7.5 million in 2016.

Thanks! You know I might just do that. Appreciate the tip Ravi Kempaiah.

Thanks Over50. My use is a little different than yours. Not used for commuting. The Terns use for me would be for the longer trips I take (a week or 2) in my Subaru Crosstrek + our local bikeways when I don't feel like lugging the Radmini to them. I especially like how you position the bike...

So Over 50 is the Gen 2 really that much better than the Gen 1? Considering one can get the Gen 1 for $3K now. In some respects I actually like the Gen 1 better, but you really know these Terns and I like your write-ups. Your input is important to me. I want a light weight folding bike that...

The new tires are supposedly better than the ones that came on my 2018. So far I have not had a flat, but probably just lucky where I take the mini. You can add a liner and Slime it for extra puncture proofing. I'll will be adding a liner and I do carry a tube of Slime plus patches and mini...

You'll love the mini psy1. Great choice.

Psy1. First off, I really like my 2018 Radmini a lot. Much of the time it gets used on forest roads and sand, so it doesn't get babied and the fatter "knobby" tires were important to me. Plus the battery lasts forever - I usually ride at PAS 1-2, a little at 3 on grades with some short bursts...
