Affordable ebike | The $999 RadMission is fun and lightweight | RadPower Bikes

[@Valsi876]

First time Rad Mission E-bike buyer. $499 with 400 reimbursed from fitness equipment incentive from my insurance is a pretty good deal! I'm enjoying it very much.

[@LizAmazing]

What a deal!!! Can't say enough good things about the RadMission! Hope to see you on the bike trail!

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

We have had Pedego bikes for right at 6 years and have had great luck and as you know being fulltimers they don't get babied by being in a garage every night LOL!!! Those bike you have sure would have saved us a few bucks for sure. I think if our bikes ever go belly up we would look at folding bikes. Great video.

Thanks Dave and Diane! Glad to hear you have ebikes and are out enjoying them. See you on the bike trail!!

[@raywilkey2849]

I actually bought one for my wife a couple of months ago then bought one for myself. I do love the bike, but have had problem with my control unit. Their customer service is extremely slow to respond, about a week before I received a response. Now going through the song and dance to get the issue resolved. They are a great bike for the price!!! but you are correct they come with nothing. We added fenders and back rack. I actually bought the correct kickstand off amazon and a nice comfy seat for my wider butt. Enjoy your new bike.

[@LizAmazing]

Glad they finally took care of you. Yes, all ebike companies have been slammed but hopefully by now things are good. Happy riding!

Hi Greg! This was one of our very favorite ebikes that we tested and we are so glad to hear you love it, too. Honestly, if we weren't full time RVers we would have kept those bikes. So fun!!! Thanks for your comment and hope to see you on the bike trail!

We have several EMTB…You usually get what you pay for. The important part of an e-bike or any bike are the components. If your components are cheap they won’t hold up. If you don’t maintain your bike regularly it will be costly. Do you research, buy smart, buy quality.👍🏻

i think if i get a ebike, ill get lazy and wont pedal.. for now my $120 walmart bike will do it! other than that, those ebikes are nice!

[@LizAmazing]

I was an avid cyclist riding on average 150 miles a week on a non-electric and the transition to electric has been pretty seemless. I still pedal 100% of the time and just adjust the pedal assist to fit how much exercise I want on that particular ride. Liz often says that e-bikes are "life changing" and I couldn't agree more.

I am not sure you can get fat tires on this but you could possibly get a more aggressive tread. A fat tire bike would be WAY heavier! The RadMission has 27.5 inch rims so you can find a wide range of tires for it. Happy riding! Oh and Slime those tires, no matter what you get. Happy riding!

48# WOW I was just looking ar Letric 2.0 62#. We have a Winnebago Trend, so we would have to put these inside our RV, the hitch in a 1.25 and more for show? The Lectric does fold but we would just bring in our RV like we do our two 26" . Thanks, we are learning from your bad experiance. Sorry yours were taken.

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, I think the Lectrics are 65 pounds so you may not want to be moving them around much. We do actually plan to do a review for them as well soon. Since our regular riders (Juiced) are 65 pounds, we do have to say the RadMission feels incredibly light and nimble. It's truly like the bike you had as a kid- only with extra boost!

The RADs look great. We are extremely happy with our Himiway e-bikes right now. Love that they are light weight also.

I feel so bad for you since you ran into a series of bad luck, however, you seem to be bouncing back fairly well. We've been camping in RV's since 1984 and have only had one problem with theft . Although it was only fishing rods it still makes one feel violated and makes you change your way of thinking and way of life. Well, happy camping and good luck from now on. Remember the old saying, "god helps those who help themselves."

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Daniel, the worse part of the theft is how it has affected my trust in our fellow man/woman. I know it's just material goods but I was raised to respect other people's property and the thought of stealing something from someone would never even cross my mind. It's a different world than I grew up in... Thanks for watching and for your comment. P.

@@LizAmazing I understand fully. I sometime follow the Nomadic Fanatic and I saw where he had his Traxxas Maxis stolen right from under his coach. He has cameras all around his coach and it got recorded. The ones that stole his little electric car was an entire family. I couldn't believe that a man would use his wife and his two children to steal a man's expensive remote controlled car. This world is turning upside down.

[@yourworstnightmare5902]

Rad bikes just opened up a brick and mortar in San Diego recently. I’ve been watching and trying to decide which bike I wanted, and when they had the hundred dollar discount I jumped on it. I concur, great bike. Ended up buying two. Was initially looking at the rad rover, which is a fat tire bike, but as mentioned these are much lighter. Other than the discount, the main reason I purchased them was the fact that there was a local Rad dealer here that just sells Rad bikes, So I don’t have to rely on sending emails if there are any problems. On a sidenote, they had plenty of bikes in the shop and it came with a free kickstand.

[@LizAmazing]

Glad to hear this, and especially about the kickstand!!! Happy riding and so glad you are enjoying our RadMission!

Sorry to here about the theft of your Ebikes but I used that information as incentive and purchased a set of locks for our newly purchased Rad mini 4 and a Rad Step Thru. One of the concerns I had was when we use them while on camping trips. Right now the Ebikes are a popular item and unfortunately a target , even at a campground. Hopefully it is a deterrence . On the other hand the fun factor is high. Before this my wife and I were occasional riders, probably because life was full. Being retired and enjoying camping , this has add another dimension to our outdoor experience. Do you cover your bikes while locked and not in use?

Yes, locked and covered always. They are truly a theft magnet, unfortunately. Glad to hear you both have rads and are enjoying them! Happy riding and hope to see you at a campground someday.

I was in Richmond VA 2 weeks ago and stopped into Agee's bike shop that has been in business for many, many year's and asked for info on Ebikes, they spent the whole time trying to talk me out of buying one and just buying a regular bike. Just a guess there's such a shortage there just trying to sell what's on the show room floor.

Hi Joseph! Yes, that adage is so true, "Sell what you have." It's a bummer that Agee's has not embraced the ebike wave. That said, most bike stores will not sell a bike under $3000. Juiced tried working with bike shops in the beginning and time and time again owners told them to raise the MSRP to at least $3000. That's certainly an argument for buying online!

I need to be able to put my feet down fast if I start to lose my balance. That's awesome that you noticed that! The part where Paul and I are standing with the bikes, I am astride mine. You can see it's higher. And thanks for watching! We've heard good things about Lectric, but yes they are heavy! We do love how nimble and fun these lightweight RadMissions are, we need to go for a bike ride someday!

[@Roadtripmischief]

😂I noticed because I can't ride without stretching my legs to straighten my knees. I figured you two avid bicyclists would do thd same but yes, I get that having to stand down - I have to jump off the seat to stand flat! Yes! I hope one day we can go for a ride! Maybe we'll meet at Zion! That's one of my biking goals!

@@LizAmazing Hi, I'm sorry I made a mistake. Alex of Evelo is a salesmen. Boris is one of the founders and owners. I just looked over their bikes. Not much of a choice and high priced. No pressure to review them. I understand you guys are traveling and it makes sense to look at online bikes. Do you have any thoughts on bike shop nationwide brands? I have looked at and tried these: Specialized,Trek,Electra Townie,Gazelle and Pedego.

[@mcooper5929]

I feel betrayed by you. Spent $2600 on the Juiced bike you recommended. And, not very happy with it...Guess I'm stuck with it😥

[@LizAmazing]

Sorry to hear this. Paul and I both have Juiced bikes. The Rad's are good for an entry level ebike for someone looking for something more affordable. But like we say in the video, if you are riding 30-40 miles at a time, you may not like the RadMission. Paul and I do ride 30-40 miles each time and we LOVE our Juiced. Those bikes are in such demand I am sure you can sell it for close to what you paid for it. And sorry it didn't work out for you.

[@mcooper5929]

@@LizAmazing Really like the range of the Juiced and the speed! But, the handle bars ride , and weight and the seat and suspension need definite improvement. Have spent some money upgrading those parts. But, still a fan of you both.🚴🚴‍♀️

[@LizAmazing]

@@mcooper5929 I bought the $250 bouncy seat Juiced sells, while pricey I really like it. Do you have the CCX? Let me know what you did to upgrade the front suspension bc I'd like to do the same! The CCX is new to me and I am coming from a full suspension mountain ebike. Paul has no issues with the suspension so I guess it's something that depends on the rider. Thanks!

[@twdobesh]

Thank you for the update! When we buy our evoked we will probably put on an Apple AirTag do we can track it if it’s ever stolen.

Good plan!!! Keep 'em locked and covered, too!

[@peggar901]

Good video. Are e-bikes legal where it says, “No Motorized Vehicles “?

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Peg! I was thinking of you when we made this video. The RadMission is PERFECT for van life! And, yes, we believe those signs were made before ebikes became a thing and thus refer to gas powered motors. We ride on bike trails all the time and see other ebikers do the same.

[@peggar901]

Thanks Liz. That sounds like the perfect e-bike since it’s so light. Just not sure about them yet.

[@BillUtah]

I hope your bike comes in perfect or you never need customer service. We bought a Rad power bike last year and it took over half a year to get the refund. Their customer service is based on the tag system. You send them an email, wait 2-3 days for a response, answer that email and wait another 2-3 days. And so on. Expect 2-3 weeks for anything to happen. After 3 months of a non working bike, I started to try to get my refund. Took the same time to finally get the bike returned and full amount credited. I’m glad you guys like your bike but Rad wouldn’t be something I’d want to be partners with. Sorry to be a downer but they definitely left a major sour taste in my mouth for an ebike company. 😖

[@LizAmazing]

Sorry to hear this, Bill. In all fairness, every ebike company experienced major growing pains last year with a 700% increase in sales. We heard the same thing about slow customer service from other ebike companies as they raced to hire more people to deal with the onslaught. All we can say is that we is that we've had a good experience with RadPower and they seem to back up what they sell. Several RAD customers have commented that they have had a good experience and love their bikes. Thanks for your comment and hope that you found a good ebike that you are happy with!

[@Jeh110]

Wow, thank you for the review. Keep them coming LOL. The weight appeals the most to me. My current E bike weighs 68 pounds. I don’t think I need seven speeds anymore. However I do need fenders. I will be buying at the end of fall.

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! Glad to hear. We were pleasantly surprised with how much of a difference the lightweight RadMission's feel when compared to our regular ebikes (which weigh 65 pounds). These are just so nimble and fun!!! Let us know when you get yours and we'll have to go for a ride!

[@patd4u2]

OK entry level E bike, don't compare to the ones you had though. Once you ride the good e-bikes with hydraulic brakes and higher end chain sets these entry level bikes are hard to go back to. Plus no suspension. I have had 3 rad power bikes. I sold two of them and kept the folding mini. After riding a friends higher end e-bike with hydraulic brakes and suspension you realize how entry level these bikes really are.

[@LizAmazing]

Exactly. If you are a serious rider or like to go far, the RadMission is not for you, and we say that in the video. That being said, we miss having those bikes. We used them all the time when in campgrounds or for short trips out and about. We would have kept them if we had room for them. They are SO lightweight they are nimble and fun to ride!

[@patd4u2]

@@LizAmazing That is what I use my mini for, just riding around the campsite on smooth dirt roads or the asphalt. Taking them on anything other than that is a really tiring experience with the cheap front forks and no rear suspension. With the cable operated front and rear brakes it's getting extremely hard for me to stop. You really have to pull on those hand levers to get the bike to stop. And with arthritis in my fingers it's very painful to do that. Hydraulic brakes are so much nicer.

[@LizAmazing]

@@patd4u2 That's good to know. Paul and I noticed no difference in the braking between the RadMission and our high-end bikes. The RadMission brakes are very efficient. Must be because of the weight and speed of the RadMission.

[@fightswithspirits915]

@@LizAmazing Oh :/ Expensive help. Best to ensure who gets the donations have a certain amount of clean/sober time. Otherwise, whatever is given supports their habits. Same goes for people with mental illness. Wait until they follow doctor's orders and level out (they also do drugs and alcohol that gets in the way of their mental health). Not aways, but often.

Hi Peter! Oh no! So sorry about getting kicked out of YT. Believe it or not, our number one video is about ebike shopping. It's over a year old and still gets 1000 views every day. From that video, many people asked us to do a review on a lightweight affordable ebike. So we did this review. We LOVED the RadMission, but since we go 40 miles on a regular basis, we did not keep the Rads. They are super fun though! And our bike channel is Amazing Bike Rides on KZbin. See you there!

Thanks for the great video. Subbed. I just rented my first ebike for the day and loved it but only rode on our local bike trail where the rental shop was located. I’m afraid I’d be too scared to ride on local streets in the area, so not sure if it’s worth it to buy one. Liz, I saw your comment that you were in a bad bike accident years ago. How did you overcome your fear to keep riding? Drivers can be crazy and often there are no shoulders to ride on.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Go, This is Paul and vehicle traffic does take some getting used to but in all of my years of cycling I've only had one serious accident and one not so serious accident and in both instances there wasn't a car within 1/2 of me. On the worst of the two I was cutting through Angle Stadium Parking lot on a day when there was no game and hit a cable stretched between a couple concrete barriers "k rails" that I didn't see until it was too late. I flew over the handlebar and landed in a heap on the pavement, where I was scooped up by paramedics and taken to the ER. I spent the next 4 days in ICU because of 5 broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a broken clavicle and a cracked vertibrae. I was back on the bike 6 weeks later. The accident that Liz had was also on an off-road trail and she too went over the bar and did a faceplate into some gravel, the fall broke her nose and she and I were picking gravel out of her arms for more than a day. These stories are not meant to scare you, but rather to demonstrate that vehicle traffic, while dangerous, has never been an issue for either of us. Now, all that said, I have known people who have tangled with cars before but in every cases I'm personally aware of the cyclist was doing something he/she shouldn't have been doing. Hope all this help you in deciding if cycling is for you. One last thing, if you do get a bike you will want to to get a good quality helmet to go with it. Had I not been wearing mine on the day of my accident I wouldn't be here today. P. Oh, and Thanks for the Sub!
