[@Darudebwoy337]

Mine came in YESTERDAY! Did 20 miles already to get a good feel of it. Love it so far and your reviews helped me go RAD. 😎🤙🏾

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Sweet! Sounds like you're having a blast so far, were the 20 miles on a single charge?! How much was left for you at the end Nev?

[@Darudebwoy337]

@@ElectricBikeReview Mind you it was 20 degrees F. I was using level 5 and a good amount of throttle to understand my floor. Had one bar left. Today it was 40 degrees and did 23 miles. Switched levels 3-5 and less throttle and one bar left. My plan is to commute to work (20 miles each way). I'm concerned with the colder weather not being able to make it. Hopefully when it warms up it'll be more accurate to what was listed. I haven't owned a car in about 10yrs (motorcycles only). I want to go full PEV and this is my start.

[@joeladams8324]

I can’t wait to get one

[@jessa.3857]

@@Darudebwoy337 that's great man! I'm looking to get one myself to commute to work as well. 6 miles each way so I should be good.

[@joebotz1243]

Can you go throttle only or do you have to Pedal to get it started?

[@highpricevancouver]

August 13/24 I've had my Radmini4 for three(3) years now. Upgraded to 4" wide checker tires. I never knew that I would fall in love with my mini which is so nimble and climbs like a cat!

[@repCanada]

I appreciate your reviews so much. You are so insanely knowledgeable and also honest in your reviews . I don't think that there is a single person on this planet who can compete with the quality of your reviews. Keep up the great work.

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Wow, thanks Matthew! That means a lot. I put a lot of energy into the website and these videos. I'm glad it has made a difference for you... thanks for saying so :)

[@CptLz24]

That fork is probably the best addition, and I'm glad they upgraded the cassette and gearing ratio. I had a gen 1 , loved that bike. and I had it shipped to Sam's in Anaheim ;)

[@ElectricBikeReview]

Oh wow! That's awesome... Sam told me some stories about Rad Power Bikes asking him to possibly be a dealer years ago. He was a very fair and kind dealer. His shop was just sold to his neighbor, Mike, who is also a great man. I plan on visiting again later this year to do an updated tour and some reviews :D and yeah, I like the fork here a lot. Thanks for being a subscriber for 3 years, awesome!

[@williamfraser1464]

I bought four Rad Rovers last year for my daughter's family. The build quality for the the price is just awesome. The shipping is not something you should worry about. I have never seen anything packed as well as these RAD bikes! THe frick'in FEDEX driver on one delivery just pushed the box out the back of his van and let it drop onto the concrete driveway(my wife watched as he did it) and there was no damage to the bike at all, not even a scratch or bent item. The packing is so good it will take awhile to remove all the padding and zip ties! I can't say enough good things about RAD Powerbikes! I did a ton of research before I bought them and had a lot of misgivings about shipping and on-line orders. These bikes are awesome! They are a bit heavy but that doesn't affect the power capability or the ride. It will matter if you want to put four of them on a rack!

[@jgeph2.4]

Always good to protect the sensitive bits ...

[@benolow6529]

So excited! I just ordered my radmini this morning

[@ohwell2790]

Have looked and read reviews of many new e-bikes. But, still have not seen any I would buy. Been ridding my Rad Power mini since 2016 and over 3,000 trouble free miles. The only thing I would want is front suspension. Other than that none so far are better or offer more utility. Bought it after have a heart attack and triple bypass operation in 2015 and am now 80 years old and going strong. It came with front and rear racks the new ones don't. Also tow a cart that holds 66 lbs and have since I bought it. Although it says it voids the warranty have had zero problems. And I like the location of the controller and the 48 volt 660watt hour battery on my bike and weighs 61 pounds. Rad on and have fun.

[@DerekKerton]

Good review. Mine arrived this week, my 12th ebike. One thing that's worth mentioning, and was important to me, was the rear rack is VERY STRONG. The tubes are thick diameter. It's an option, so it'll cost you, but it can easily handle the weight of a young passenger, and arguably handle a bigger passenger. It's also a regular sized rear rack, unlike a Velobecane Work folder bike I bought in the EU, which has a shorter rear rack. Also, I'd say I like this bike because it rides like a bike, not like a folder. I was looking for a folder that didn't flex, or feel like I made a big compromise in frame strength to get the fold. With the mini, it's stiff and strong, and you pay the price in the heavy weight. I like that trade-off.

[@nathanbush6781]

Thanks for the great review! I’ve been thinking about stepping up to an E-Bike! I currently have a Giant Expressway folding bicycle for commuting around the city. I typically don’t like to bike in rural or wooded areas, and it would be great for taking to other cities to ride!

[@masterdriveroftoyotazupr4164]

They should make a Radmini R with hydraulic brakes. I wouldn't mind paying extra. I love how it folds.

[@FinalSlice]

Thanks got one two weeks ago after watching your 2019 edit. I like how you recycle the battery info across all rad reviews. Thanks for all the info tho definitely helped in making my purchase.

[@willvansant360]

Great review! Debating between this and the "regular" radrunner because I've never gotten one before and am hesitant

[@Dreww31786]

Did you decide yet? I have the full size rad rover, but I’m replacing it and considering the folding bike for some added versatility with the folding ability.

[@dsamaridis]

At such weight I think Rad should offer hydraulic brakes, at least as an option.

[@tornadokat]

I noticed you did not have good leg extension. Did you not adjust the seat height or does it not go high enough?

[@MRHEAT20]

Always the best reviews- THANKS

[@jpnpdx]

Very good review! Thanks Now I have to decide which model to buy :)

[@ChristopherDillman]

This is a cool review. Waiting for one on back order now. I've read a few complaints about its 'cheaper' components, yet all seems to work fine in your test review. Curious if you had to update components, which ones would you target first.

[@Matanumi]

Its gotten to be even cheaper over the years

[@skistrycharski6999]

Buying the Mini after I sell my RadRover ST-1. Got it March, 1920 then COVID shutdown. Love the Rad bike If I was younger/70yo. I would keep it (old biker). Not the muscles I use to have ! I like the folding part to transport/garage storage, the lb., & tire size. O another note the sun glasses brand name?

[@cdnstacey]

Great review! My husband did a lot of research to help us decide what to get and this video helped a lot. We ended up getting one for each of us and we've done about 100 km so far and are loving them. One of the deciding factors was being able to fold them up to go in the back of our SUV and they do both fit BUT we'd really like to put them in a tote as you've shown. QUESTION: At about 8:55 you show the bike in a tote in the back of a car - do you know what the size/capacity of that tote is? We've been trying to find one big enough. Thanks!

[@rvrandy1710]

I like the 3.3 inch tires ! PERFECT !!

[@DerekKerton]

The size is good, but it's VERY hard to get replacement inner tubes. Your local shop won't have one, and it's even hard online. Try it! I suggest buying one in advance.

[@medaza2007]

Great, Informative video as always. Greetings from Cork City, Ireland 🇮🇪

[@scottj4950]

I ordered 2 bikes a month ago and they haven't shipped yet. They said it would be shipped on a Monday 3 weeks ago. Sucks because we are full time RVers and we will have to drive 3 hours back to the shipping address to get them. They can't promise we can get it to the new campsite.

[@Matanumi]

Rough times they don't sell this one anymore

[@karen1706]

Ordered one! Terrified it will be too small... I'm 6 ft with a 36" inseam, 145 lbs. I really love the idea of being able to ride it off-road though as I live close to a lovely wooded park.

how does this compare to the aventon sinch? Thanks

[@dominica2765]

Great review are those four-inch tires are 3 inch because the 2021 has 3 inch does it make a big difference thank you

[@jko0526]

These Rad Mini’s remind me of an old school chopper. The motorcycle kind. Maybe the white strip around the wheel lends to that! LOL At least the black one. I wish the handle bars were more a little more stylish.

[@tribzman3977]

And I also wish the spokes were more stylish. It does look quite old school which has actually got me reconsidering, as I want something both mechanically sound AND looks cool. I think with this one, it's only for the former for me, and as much as I like old school with various things, but not with this bike disappointingly.

[@joaofreira2620]

Hello, where do you get the white glasses! Thank's the video with the e-bike.

[@marlonb.8243]

Great review. Thank you very much.

[@treezza2817]

Did the twist throttle cause any problems, like moving when you didn't want it to? For example when lifting it, etc?

[@martinmaddox5315]

I’m older 6 feet tall ,220 pounds. I had a neck injury also. I have a little trouble getting on my 20 something year old 820 Trek bike due to top bar height. I think I’ve gotten a little shorter over the years. It looks to be like this may be easier to put leg across on this than the step thru. Is this possible? How far from the ground is the highest bar from the ground that you have to step over on this bike? Thanks to whoever answers this for me.

[@islandsnow]

Can you make a video on how to lock a folding bike like this rad mini? You did one on a bigger non folding one or is it similar? Would be good also if you had links to the u lock you used too. Thanks

[@ChristopherDillman]

Great overview. Finally got this bike up n running. What's your opinion about leaving the key when on and riding, or taking it out and sticking it your pocket or bag?

[@DerekKerton]

Take it out!! It isn't "locked in" when it's on, so it could fall out. Day to day, most people can just leave it set to "on" anyway, and not bother much with the key.

[@Burden82]

every e-bike video i watch they tell you the same things and things that keep me from buying them are not discusted. how well electronics have been water sealed or other thing that tell me that its not done in one year and i wasted 1500 dollars. also how easy to buy new battery and how expensive is that

[@2021-j2d]

Burden82, I agree those are my questions too also my hesitation in pulling the trigger. Bought a treadmill years ago that all electronics died just as warranty ran out. Expensive short term investment.

[@Burden82]

@Mike H im not going to call to states from europe for that. and im not saying that you cant find that information anywhere. im saying everybody doing these reviews are not doing a good job. so their review videos are kind of useless. they are commercial videos not review videos.

[@rvrandy1710]

2 of those totes would be ideal , 1 to stuff the bike in and one to put over top , then when in back of my truck it will be outa sight and also protected from sun and rain :-)

[@nightowlnativeflute9496]

How does this compare to the rise foldable e bike in speed and performance? Thanks for your review

[@TheJournalingType]

This is awesome! I got one question, does it take a lot to charge? I live in a van, want to get a bike, I saw this and I loved it plus your review is just perfect. I was thinking about charging it with my solar panels but not sure if it will take a lot to charge this!

[@dylanhabedank8184]

I am building out a van right now to live in and am looking at getting an e bike or one wheel to ride around towns. Still a tough decision. I believe he said it was a 14 amp hour battery with a 2 amp hour charger. So in theory a completely dead battery would take about 7 hours to charge. The charger is AC so if you got a 12volt battery, you would draw about 20 amps for 7 hours or 240 watts of continuous solar :)

[@DerekKerton]

@@dylanhabedank8184 Right. Another way to think about it is that you get about 40 miles of range, and that charges in 7 hours, so you can charge roughly 6mph - that is, for every hour of charge, you add 6 miles of range.

[@luisarsuaga7637]

I'm looking for foldable ebike arround this price range to ride it in varied terrains. Would you take this bike to light to moderate mountain trail? I'm not sure if a bike like this could take the beating of a montain trail.

[@trini_boi2414]

What's the max speed on the rad mini 4 on battery only and is the wheel size 20x4 like most of these Chinese ebikes?

[@sccarolinagirl6284]

Thank You Good Info!

[@Gangstadeath619]

I have the older model that doesn't have shocks. I wish I could trade it in for the new model lol I had to buy a new bike seat post and bike seat with shocks. I also love how the brake light works on the new model.

[@loganrossignol]

How do you feel about the quality of Rad's bikes? If I'm going from a Trek FX3, for example, would it overall feel similar in quality? I really enjoy the overall quality of my Trek, the touchpoints are all nice, the design is thoughtful, the frame is really quite good, and overall the ride is very confidence inspiring. Nothing rattles or sounds strange when going over rough road, etc.

[@bobv7753]

I`ve had mine for about a year. Also have and ride a higher end conventional road and mountain bikes. The overall quality and ride feel of the Rad Mini has really impressed me. Keep in mind that you can spend $3-8K+ for higher end components and pro performance. if that is wht your looking for. Considering the very reasonable price point of the Mini. It has excellent quality exceeded my overall expectations. The the technical staff is excellent. I forgot to mention....It`s a very fun bike!!!!!

Trying to avoid buying a bike rack. Would this be able to fit in the back seat of a Honda Civic?

[@SingleSourceGenetix]

Will these bikes stop assisting at 20mph? Or will it continue to help to 28mph like a juiced scrambler?

[@jackgharen]

Does it still fold well with a front rack? I assume it does. I dont want to jnsult RAD intelligence.

[@xxxenricop]

seen that on another review. It does fold but stays a bit wider...and you can kinda forget to fold the handlebars between the wheels if a rack is mounted.

[@dm-qe9xy]

i’m about 6 feet will i fit on this bike comfortable

[@jackgharen]

Will I be able to charge this with a 200 w solar system with Battleborn 1000 12v battery?

[@simonlarsen1090]

So you could just get a second batter and have a pack on the back and go like 45 miles

[@j.johnson5217]

What's the best height for this bike? I'm 6 foot, is that to tall?

[@DerekKerton]

I'm almost 6'2", not a problem to get full leg extension with stock setup. Telescoping handlebars are actually higher than most regular bikes if you like to sit upright. the RAD website has a great graphic image showing how each of their bikes fits people of various sizes. The chart is part of EVERY bike detail page.

Why did they change the tire size from 4" to 3.3" ?? I also liked the more rugged tires from 2019. Any reason why and could you put 4" tires on these rims, especially if you need to replace them and can't find 3.3" tires ??

This rad mini is a total scam. Reason I say is both them and you as a reviewer, say this bike is a 750w bafang motor. That’s completely false and I’m glad I found that info online before buying one of theses. These bikes actually have a 500w motor even though rad claims online that it’s a 750w. Bafang also will confirm this by contacting them with the serial number on the actual motor. I’ve been researching these bikes for a while and now I feel like it’s been a total waste of time. If I wanted a 500w motor than I would be researching those for a lesser price. Smh. Horrible business practice

This appears to be a good quality Electric Bike. However, it’s made in China so I could not and would not in good conscience buy this bike. I’m a Canadian. China is holding 2 Canadians hostage in dreadful conditions in a Chinese jail. The are being held on trumped-up charges in retaliation for Canada arresting a Huawei executive. She is fighting extradition to the US but is allowed to live in her choice of either of her Vancouver mansions during the process. She is being allowed complete freedom, except to leave the country, until her extradition proceedings have been resolved. The Canadians on the other hand are in solitary confinement with light on their their cells 24/7. They have been denied visits from family and Canadian consular officials. Please avoid products from China wherever and whenever possible until this is resolved. It’s time to push back.

[@2021-j2d]

Thanks for sharing that. I was under the impression these were made in USA by an American company which is why I began researching Rad. Oh well, I’ll hold off til I can get one made in USA.

[@laurielyon7740]

Donna Hi Donna, It’s not just difficult but almost impossible to avoid Chinese products so don’t let my opinion influence your decision. After going ‘full altruism’ on this issue, I ended up buying some Chinese-made items recently that simply are not available from any other source. Period!. And I’m replying to you on my iPad........Chinese made! Electrical products like light fixtures, for instance, are almost exclusively from China. Try buying a paint brush not made in China. Mountain Equipment Co-op, Home Depot and Lowes to name a few have become an outlet stores for China, it seems. Very disturbing that we’ve allowed manufacturing to exit Canada and the US to a country (China) whose leaders want to put their foot on your throat and do it with a smile. I bought a Specialized ebike made in Taiwan but it was anything but reasonable. I suspect ebikes will come down in price because that market has become very competitive. However they are selling like hot cakes so for now the prices are pretty stable. Anyway.......thanks for your reply. BTW.......I’m 72, have been a lifelong cyclist and have owned dozens of bikes. My wife and I are REALLY enjoying our ebikes. No more hills! Best Wishes. Laurie Lyon, Toronto.

@@laurielyon7740, Yes, I understand and agree that sometimes a particular item isn’t available as American made. But then when I really check myself I have to ask myself if it isn’t Made In USA then can I live without it.

Unwatchable with your left hand flopping around in every frame. Less can be more.

I think it's cool but overpriced

[@ElectricBikeReview]

What do you think a fair price for something like this would be? I think there are slightly less expensive ebikes that are designed similarly, but don't have the same level of customer support and warranty.

[@nightowlnativeflute9496]

gotham ghost these ebikes have a lot of mechanical components, and are a lot bigger when you see them in person. I saw one at my grocery store someone was riding, and was surprised on the size. 68 pounds is a lot of bike, and for everything you get $1,500 is a great deal in my opinion. You could spend way more on a non e bike.

It's always better to pay a little more for a company that is likely to be around next year when you need support/ parts. Over the years I have found that I often can't afford the cheaper price.

Have you even considered a "normal" mountain bike price, which is of a good quality? They go for 2-5K. This is cheap.

Does it have cruise control like lectric XP?
