    Mini vs Full Size Bike for Seniors?

    Don't know about the weight being too heavy, I do remove the battery which puts the Rad Mini at 60 lbs. We fold the bike and I lift the the bike on the rear wheel side and the wife 5'7" 125 lbs. lifts the other side, which I do most of the lifting, we set it on the tailgate of our Ram pickup...

    Mini vs Full Size Bike for Seniors?

    The wife and I were riding 26" up rite style bicycles (not an ebike) and at age 74 and 71 I personally felt uncomfortable on riding my bike, she was just so so. When we decided to go to and ebike we had no problem on deciding which model we wanted, she test rode a 20" model and said that was...

    E-bike jacking?

    We purchased two Abus 6500 locks to lock up our e bikes when camping in camping grounds and when eating at restaurants with views of our bikes wile eating. Leaving our bike totally untended will probably never happen, or only for a very short time and it would be in an area where thief would...

    2020 Rad Line Up

    We purchased two Rad Mini Step Thru's back in October, the only thing I feel that I missed out on was the fenders, but personally did not want the fenders as I think they make this model very unattractive and as far as wet weather goes we ride them for pleasure, not as a daily commuter. I feed...

    Carbo Folding bike thoughts on indigogo

    I'd say it's a bike for pretty light use, I had to go with the Rad Mini as I'm in the 230 lb. class. My personal feeling is that all you are buying in any China manufactured ebike is service by the seller, that why I went with Rad. The Scoozy was my second choice on a folding mini. Bike weight...

    Question for mail-ordered ebike owners concerning warranty.

    I never heard of Yuba, I just checked their website and their bikes are three times the price of the Rad, I would hope you got better quality parts, etc. in that ebike. All bikes need to be serviced on a schedule, I do my own maintenance so owning a $1500 Rad ebike works for me, I hope I never...

    Question for mail-ordered ebike owners concerning warranty.

    I had somewhat the same concerns when I wanted to purchase two ebikes, after much looking into the matter and researching each online seller I could find very few sellers that offered good sales and service and had the reputation to go along with it. Many online sellers are very small and in...

    Lunar Cruiser folding scooter?

    When you only spend $799.00 for an electric scooter/ebike you are probably going to have some added expensive's along the line. A broke frame is probably one of the least expensive repairs you could have, I think you did a very good job in in repair, nice work and now it will probably last as...

    2020 Rad Line Up

    Just looked at my email from Rad, Rad Rover Step Thru and fenders on all models are what's new, I didn't look for anything else at this time.

    Disappointed with Rad City Attitude

    You need to move on, you are putting the blame on Rad where the blame is on you for not purchasing when the sale was on. Promotional sales are offered by sellers for corporate reasons, most likely to increase sales, or lower their inventory, I would say that Rad probably accomplished this goal...

    How do you lockup your ebike

    This EBR video on a ebike dealer in New York City on locks is interesting, it does talk about some of the top Abus locks can be keyed alike.

    How do you lockup your ebike

    I went with the Abus Bordo Grant X Plus 6500 Level 15. First let me say here that we are recreational riders, that is taking them camping and riding on city bike trails and hopefully when lockup is needed is in a reasonable safe area. This lock is probably way more then we need, but no lock is...

    Have you noticed that the vast majority of ebikes are "recreation-focused?"

    I'm with you on the Step Thur models, we did purchase the Rad Mini Step Thur's as a recreational ebike and are very happy with that model of ebike. We did look at other step thur's including the other Rad 26" model, but after wanting a folding ebike we went with the Rad Mini. I do feel our 20"...

    Have you noticed that the vast majority of ebikes are "recreation-focused?"

    I can see by your answer you are a bicycle purest, or it's something that you are very interested in, I have no problem with that, we all have our niche in life and where bicycles might be yours, mine is something totally different.

    Your thoughts on the 20" Fat Tire ebikes

I think the FT bike is appealing to more and more old riders and there sales will continue to increase for there easy...

    Have you noticed that the vast majority of ebikes are "recreation-focused?"

    Recreational Focused is why I have an ebike, I didn't buy one for exercise, riding to work (retired), save gas, or save the environment. For us we take them camping with us, or load up in the big 4x4 pickup and take to the trails for riding pleasure and recreation, there Toys for us and it's...

    Your thoughts on the 20" Fat Tire ebikes

    I guess this question just didn't rate answering, of course I've watched most of the 20" Fat Tire videos and I have a pretty good idea of what he thinks of them from his reviews.
