Hello all I'm new to ebikes and was looking into getting the radmini but wanted to see what people who've bought one think of em, so if you've bought a radmini was it worth it do you have any major complaints? Thanks in advance!
 
I purchased one for my wifes sister as a thank-you for all the stuff she has helped us with on our house. But she's in Vegas right now so I'm giving it a shakedown and getting everything ready. I own a RadRunner 1 and really love it. I think the 'Mini Step-Thru is a better bike. No flex on either ebike (230lbs.), the gears are nice on the Mini, the ergonomics fit me (5'10") comfortably and overall the quality vs. value make it a great purchase. I got her all the needed accessories so she can ride it without needing anything. I think it will fit her just fine as the bar and seat height can be adjusted down for shorter people. If you happen to be near Norfolk, VA hit me up via PM for a test ride.
 
Almost forgot, my RadRunner 1 has been a out and out little tank for just over 2000 miles. Ride it for a 14 mile one way commute in the rain, cold, over bumps-I just ride it like I stole it. Did get a flat but I ordered some Tannus liners so I can bullet proof both my 'Runner and her 'Mini.
 
The Radmini is great if you are limited on space because it can fold down. Removing the seat, battery, and front wheel will also make it easier to move the ebike around and store. Lots of folks use the Radmini because you can easily store in a RV, trunk/hatch of small car/wagon/small sports utility, work, or at home in a corner. The fat tires are great at smoothing out the ride and gives you a wider range on terrain surfaces from urban to the sandy beach. I like the looks of the Radmini Step-Thru compared to the regular Radmini. The only issue you might have with either ebike if if you are too tall or too short for seat, pedal, and handle bar reach for a comfy riding position.
