    Misleading Motor Information

    So, Bafang confirms the Rad Power Bike motors are 500w and this video also confirms this. Rad, come on, what more do you need!!

    Misleading Motor Information

    You are correct. A 750w Bafang motor will not have the range of the motor that’s on the Mini, but I need the power of the 750 watt motor to climb the hills around here. The point is, Rad, on it’s website, states that it is a 750w Bafang motor. When I emailed the serial number of the motor to...

    I agree! I think it’s a great company too and I love my Mini, but I need the extra power of the 750w motor as promised. Thanks for your reply!

    I own the RadMini step thru 2 and really love it! It’s a smooth ride with the not-so-agressive tires and handles streets and light trails with ease. The problem is steep hills. I’m 71 and 150lbs and it takes everything I’ve got to get up the hills here in Western North Carolina. If you have...

    Misleading Motor Information

    Hi court, I’m a new guy here and have really enjoyed your ebike video reviews! Why do you think ebike companies mislead us with their motor specs? I have a RadMini step thru 2 that I purchased recently, from Rad Power Bikes. I really love my Mini and purchased it for it’s 750w Bafang motor...

    Hello from an ebike rider’s paradise, Asheville, NC

    Hello Chancelucky2! My first ebike, with a 500w nominal 750w max motor, would handle these hills without a problem. The hills are all regular asphalt city streets, no off-road. I’m pretty sure that a 750w, Bafang motor, on my Mini, will do the same. I really like my Radmini and don’t want to...

    Best strategy for v. steep hill

    Hello Tallenvt! I’m having the same problem (see my post in Introductions) with my 2020 RadMini step thru. I thought I had a 750w Bafang motor, but it’s only a 500w Bafang!! I would do what I did and email the MOTOR manufacture the serial/model number to find out. Also, Kyle at Bolton bikes has...

    Check to make sure!

    I’m new here and I’m old and stupid, so if I do something stupid, it’s because I’m stupid! I’ve had two ebikes from two different companies (see my post in Introductions), both were suppose to have 750w Bafang motors, but both had 500w Bafang motors! If you suspect your ebike just doesn’t have...

    Hello from an ebike rider’s paradise, Asheville, NC

    Indianajo - Thanks so much for chiming in. I’m hoping others will too. I’ve ridden an ebike with 750w max power (my first ebike) it handled the hills around here with no problem, so that’s not an issue. What is an issue, is that I have a RadMini with a 500w Bafang motor, verified by Bafang...

    Hello from an ebike rider’s paradise, Asheville, NC

    Hello ebikers! I’m a crazy 71 year old Viet Nam veteran, recovering from prostate cancer. Here’s my ebike story. My first ebike was an orange Eunorau 20'' Foldable Step-Thru Fat Tire Electric Bike with a Shengyi 500w nominal 750w max motor, purchased from Rex of Ace Bikes here in Asheville...
