Nah, I shopped so much for bikes that I am happy to have finally narrowed it down to R1U and the last thing we want is to wait any longer for shipping. But for her, we are worried about the size, period. When she comes home from work, I will show her all of these and the FB forum responses to...

I don't know if she would get a RAD Power bike. That's just what was rented and what fit her perfectly and she fell in love with. So if we decide to cancel her 700 ST, we would know to shop around for her a smaller frame/20" tire bike. The Lectric XP, the Biktrix Stunner series, etc. She is also...

If she can't stop and touch the ground (as she is on the pic above), it'll be too big for her and she won't use it as she feels uncomfy and unsafe. So yea, I feel I need to cancel her 700ST. I am bummed as she really loved the look of the bike and the fact she can change pedal assist %. She help...

Agreed. I need to contact R1U and see how to go about cancelling her bike. I am even tempted to cancel mine as I am barely 5'4" and JUST fit on the RAD Rover Stepthru. It was a big bike! I managed it, but was also more comfy on the RAD Mini.

My GF is 5'2" with maybe a 26" inseam. She had to put the seat down on the RAD Mini all the way which is 24" (31" max). The 700 ST is 32" min (38" max). That min is a big difference. Also, the RAD Mini frame is 14", seat tube 14.5" with a 16" reach. The 700 ST is 15" standover, 18" seat tube...

Yep, we sure did. Beautiful ride! I want to stay with R1U, especially as we've been waiting so long already. But IF she can't fit well on it (she wants her feet to touch the ground while seated and stopped like they did on the RAD Mini), then we may need to get her what she wants/needs. As for...

I actually like the RAD style. I wanted a fat tire bike to begin with. But after much debate and opinions on here, I decided they weren't 'needed'. But I still like them. It was a fun ride, for sure (minus the pain I'm in today- ha!). I may keep my R1U 700 order, but cancel my GF's and get her...

Not sure of the penalty. You'd think after my poor experience with support a month or so back, the wait time of shipment and the issues attached to the bikes, they would waive any penalty fees. :rolleyes: I am thinking of cancelling my GF 700 ST and getting her the RAD Mini and I will keep my...

Oop, my bad. The RAD site was set on the Rad City, hence why I saw 40nm torque. Thanks for the catch. So then yea, it has more than the R1U. Hmmm. This is gonna be a hard one. I love the style of the R1U (including hidden battery) and the fact you can change the PAS % levels. But I also loved...

So while taking a short staycation in Monterey, CA, I came across a bike rental spot that carried all RAD bikes. When I first started shopping for ebikes months ago, RAD was high on the list (along with Juiced, Bolton, Biktrix, Sondors, Espin and R1U). And since we've never even been on an...

We haven't gotten the bikes yet. Not until October 2nd-9th. We shall see though. 🤞

Not yet. We ordered 2 700 ST's (one gray, one blue) and our original ship date was mid-September, but received an email saying October 2nd-9th now. We shall see.

Great point about being able to put the XP in to an uber if you became stuck. I do like the foldable aspect of the bike.

Hi again. Yea, I recall on the Nero thread, you mentioned you have a Ride1Up 500 (I think), an Espin Sport, an Espin Nero on the way and a Lectric XP. That's a great collection! I was so close to getting an Espin Sport over the Ride1Up 700. With so many things (issues) I've been hearing about...

Awesome! Thank you. Your kids must love it. =) I really like the Espin Nero and the company seems good. But yea, I see and read about sooooo many Lectric XP owners being super happy and even the cool mods some have achieved, plus the fact the bike is smaller/foldable for travel is a plus and...

Thanks, appreciate the reply and input. Did you get the standard or step-thru? How does it do on hills, speed, acceleration, comfort? Also, what other fat tire and/or foldable bikes were you reviewing before choosing XP?

Oh wow! Awesome. So you'll have the best of both, or all 3 I should say (a R1U too). =) I feel the Nero would be a better bike all around, yes. But I do have a R1U 700 ST coming which is pretty nice and will be used as my everyday ride (exercise, street, paved trails). So I am thinking to have...

So if I am over 180lbs, there is a different one I need to order?

I may order one soon. But I am debating still between the Nero or the Lectra XP. Two different types/style of bikes, I know. But I like them both almost equally. Decisions, decisions. I am also still waiting on my Ride1Up 700 ST to arrive (beginning of October).

Ok, I am just looking for opinions on these particular two fat tire bikes. I understand one has 20" tires and is foldable (Lectric XP) where the other has 24" tires and isn't foldable (Espin Nero). But based on all the specs (links below) and just personal preference, which would you choose? I...
