1000 kilometres on the Rad Runner Plus

[@sleepyprocyon]

Thanks for the review! It's also sick to see a review for this bike specifically in Edmonton, because that's where I am too! I can't personally rely on car transportation, so it's relieving to hear that Edmonton isn't a horrible place to own an e-bike.

[@NickLinnen]

Glad it helps! I love owning my e bike in Edmonton, it’s way more bikeable than people realize!

[@RobButzofNorthAmerica]

Oh! Today I learned (thanks to your video) that you can adjust the console over on the RR+ to make room for a phone mount. Also, I'm appreciative of a review from Edmonton (I am in Saskatoon - similar hills / climate).

[@Early_bird]

Wow this bike is a beast, awesome content bro the brolls, Drone footage insta 360 definitely enjoyed watching 💯👌

[@NickLinnen]

Thank you! Agreed, the bike is a beast haha

[@jayneirvine9007]

Heh, I don't even KNOW you and I am enthused and rooting for you to break the 1000 mark. Thank you for the experience. I went for that bike in a big way, however, it being the first one I looked at, the thinking was that I should do more reaearch. I am moving out of a small motorcycle and think that the ebike will work better for my purposes. I, for one, appreciate your take on doing the research. Beautiful, moving, visual style. Thanks for the input about the bike.

[@NickLinnen]

Thank you so much!

❤great bike great video. I'm a senior, do you think it would be good for me. I've been using a similar sized pedal bike for about 6 years. the one concern I have with the rad bike is the weight .

[@canadiansmarties]

Just placed my order the other day and am so hype for the bike. Hopefully no issues 🤞

[@NickLinnen]

Nice! You’ll love it

[@cmaxi]

Westwin! I recognized my old junior high right away. Lol. Awesome. Great vid!

[@NickLinnen]

No way! Thanks:)

[@zenonbillings9008]

❤what city are you in, it looks interesting?

[@slugzkea]

6100km on my RR+ had it since June 2022. I would say it doesn't do well with heavier people (I'm 240lbs). Front wheel needs stronger spokes and the fork is junk. Other than that I love my RR+.

[@NickLinnen]

Wow! That’s a lotta kms. Interesting, havent noticed a problem with the fork yet but still pretty new so we’ll see

[@jeffnelson8965]

I was in San Diego last week and went to Rad test ride center I’m 6’4” and rode the roadrunner plus. Loved it .. was big enough for me…. Didn’t feel cramped. Plenty of seat height adjustment. Liked the size. Fun rip around town or trail bike. Great for local errands.

[@csick11]

Don't buy rad bike. Buy aeriel grizzly

[@NickLinnen]

I agree about the size, I’ve never felt too big for it - especially with the adjustable seat

[@PLANBENT2]

Yeah im 6’4” too and had it for one month and its already falling apart, i would buy something else their customer service is shit and they dont honor their warranty, buyer beware.

[@csick11]

@@PLANBENT2 they laid off so many workers. I was one of them and I'm the battery Technician person. It was nice making 30 bucks an hour fixing batteries that was shorted from customer sticking their keys in charging port

[@megafactor]

Great video Nick You should really have alot more subscribers . I like the editing and the information also your advice while i am trying to decide between this and the Radrunner2 . Thank you and well done !

[@NickLinnen]

Wow such a nice comment! Thank you so much:) really glad it was helpful!

wicked drone shots

thanks!

Well put together. I can tell your a film maker no doubt.

[@NickLinnen]

What a complement, thank you!

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

Great review 🎉

[@NickLinnen]

Thanks!

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

@Nick Linnen it's good economics. It makes sense to me, particularly when you live in a small, densely populated country. Do you have a plan for when the electric grid goes down?

[@SpiroArgyros]

Great video well done

[@SpiroArgyros]

I have one question is the bike fast?

[@cjwomack]

you make me want one of these so bad! 👊🏻🔥

[@NickLinnen]

Haha gotta rep it well!

[@icorteezzyy9387]

Check out what I did to my Radrunner plus. Stock is ok but now it’s a beast. Great video!

[@NickLinnen]

Thanks! I’ll check it out:)

[@martinmaddox5315]

I put the large basket on the back of my radrunner plus. I used two of the pre drilled holes and drilled two new holes. I was able to install the length of the basket parallel to the bike instead of perpendicular. It looks better and allows me to get through my doorways. I live in a house in Florida in which the garage was converted to a room. I don’t dare leave my bike parked outside this close to the salt water. I ride about 10 to 12 miles five or more days a week. I’m 73 years old and I ride on level one except when that when I start out I use the throttle for about 10 yards and if I’m crossing a busy intersection to get across more quickly. Also if I get a little warm in the in the summer just a 100 yards with full throttle will cool me down. I would recommend a step thru bike for all riders especially seniors. The stepthru allows you to quickly dismount and get your feet quickly on the ground. For all seniors it also makes you less likely to fall when mounting your bike. I had a bad fall about six months before buying my bike. I was worried about balance issues. Not only was I able to ride but it actually improved my overall balance even when walking! If you don’t need the stepthru now you may or probably will need it in the future. The only disadvantage that I was concerned about when I ordered my bike during Covid in 2021 was the fact that a non stepthru might be more sturdy because a triangle shaped frame tends to be stronger. When I first saw the bike in person I knew that the frame would take anything you could put it thru. Radrover was the only company that had a two week no questions asked, as long that you had not scratched it up or hurt it so I felt comfortable buying it without a test drive. Also, if your utility bike doesn’t have an adjustable seat like this one does, then it will not be a perfect fit for everyone of varying heights!!! I’ve had my bike with no regrets. Having said that I believe I would have been almost as happy with their mini- stepthru now knowing how sturdy their frames are. It’s less expensive and can be folded to fit most cars. I have a pick up truck with a perpendicular bike rack on the back with a side ramp that makes it easy to load.

[@zackwaffen9210]

thats a cool bike bro im glad you like it

[@MrEric0576]

Great video!

[@NickLinnen]

Thanks!

[@TobyStatusOnline]

How do you keep your backpack in the front basket, and stop it from falling out?

[@NickLinnen]

I wrap bungee chord around it!

[@joshthompson80]

Great video bro

[@NickLinnen]

Thanks man!

[@karenhodges4933]

Hey Nick!! New subbie here. I just ordered this bike and I have it at the bike shop being assembled. But, now, I am wondering if I should have gotten the hyperscorpion. I really just got this thing for fun and minor grocery shopping and paved trail riding. I just love bikes!!

[@NickLinnen]

Hey! Totally, biking is the best haha! Honestly I’m not an advocate for any specific brand, I know my RadPower is good but I know a lot of other brands people like. As long as you’re happy with what you got!

[@karenhodges4933]

@@NickLinnen Thank you!

[@coesforever1735]

Not everywhere. Here in my small city in NC , you barely can see people riding bikes. I'm almost 50 and I ride almost every day for like an hour and my whole body is beautiful 😍. Mountain bike and I own a Trek Ebike

[@NickLinnen]

Interesting! Glad you’re able to enjoy it at least:)

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Can you go up hills??? How are your brakes???

[@NickLinnen]

Definitely has manage all the hills I’ve needed to get up (although can be a little slow on the steep ones), and the brakes are fantastic if you keep them up well!

[@jeffnelson8965]

How tall are you Nick?

[@NickLinnen]

About 6’2!

[@jeffnelson8965]

@@NickLinnen and u find the rad plus to be a good size? I’m same height

[@NickLinnen]

I find it’s great! I can always raise it up if I need full leg extension but most of the time I prefer it a little lower just for comfort and ease of getting on and off

[@andrewreid380]

Exactly the info I was looking for as there hasn't been a review from anyone over 6 feet. I seen one in person for the first time last week it does look cramped. I'd say lay back seat post along with a comfier saddle shifted back.

[@rhl2macwan]

3x the bike didn’t work that means it’s not the bikes which are at fault it’s you’re friend

[@NickLinnen]

Haha fair point😆

[@MD-cy6pe]

your seat looks low.

Yeah I prefer it that way! I find I don’t need max leg extension because it’s electric
