I bought the Rad 6 Plus. It has a integrated battery. the battery failed at 3 miles. I called Rad the day after I got the bike about no power and I was told to take tons of pictures and videos for the warranty. Someone not tech save would not have been able to do this. They said that the review team has 48 hours to decide if they are going to send me a new battery so I called this morning to check on it and apparently it had not gotten sent to the review team on Saturday. It's now Monday. The guy said that they have 48 hours to review from today since they did not send on Saturday. I asked how long till I get my replacement battery and he said it could take up to 14 days if approved. I would not recommend the integrated battery because it's very temperamental and will fail and a new one is $599. I paid $1800 for this bike and still cannot ride it for a couple more weeks and hopefully I don't have to buy the new battery. We all know how warranty's go. In my google searches on trouble shooting this I found more videos of failed battery just like this one from RAD. Almost identical situation. Couple miles on it and battery goes bad. Integrated means that you cannot work on them at all and the only thing you can do is replace for $600. The old batteries had a fuse that you can change. This one is integrated into the motherboard so no way to change it.

Fantastic experience with both the quality of the bikes my wife and I purchased and the customer service experience. Great bikes at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

The staff here are amazing! They give me some recommendations and test rides on multiple models. I got a RadMission and a shop assembly with a free tune up. Their service team is super patient and helpful (thanks Daniel)! Everything works great so far for a month and I’m really enjoying my bike!

***Update***Upgrade to five stars. Daniel came through with all the fixes he proposed. I took it out a local bike shop and had the bike fixed and Rad reimbursed us for the cost, including labor. Also, discounted an order we had in. We are now completely up and running. I understand Rad can not control the shipper (in this case FedEx), but having someone to answer a phone and start the process goes a long way to making the purchase worth while. ***Update *** Upgrade to two stars. 08/20 Read another review that had a phone number in it. Called the number and spoke to Daniel who was very helpful and got the repair process started with many options all working in tandem to ensure the quickest fix. I had to dig and find a number and the problem isn’t solved yet, so we will wait and see what happens. We have owned (used) Rad bikes in the past and have enjoyed them immensely. We purchased two brand new bikes which were delivered last weekend. While putting my wife’s together we noticed the front brake cable and brake rotor were damaged. We reported it to Rad four days ago and have not yet received any help except their computer generated response. I am reading other reviews here and I am noticing a theme emerging about service after the sale. The weather is great here in the PNW. I wish my wife and I could ride our bikes together.

IS IT OK TO TRAVEL WITH BIKE ON A BIKE RACK WITH THE BATTERY REMOVED. I WORRY ABOUT RAIN OR DIRT GETTING INSIDE. ANY ADVICE.

lewis burnett | Aug 11, 2022
Dave Hutsell | Aug 12, 2022

I would cover the bikes in any bike rack in rainy weather.

Is there a warranty on the Rad City bike?

Frank James | Aug 11, 2022
Brad M. | Aug 12, 2022

Yes, details here: https://www.radpowerbikes.com/pages/warranty

I have two rad city commuter bikes the first bike is my best one, it can reach a top speed of 25mph, the newer version cuts off assist power when you get 19mph on the odometer. Why? and will you assist me in adjusting it. Please help me. thank you

A Google User | Aug 11, 2022
Max A | Aug 12, 2022

In the manual it explains how to adjust the top speed. In short, hold the up and down button on the control panel to bring up settings, then scroll to top speed settings and set to 40 km/h. However note that I think local laws require ebikes not go over 20mph, so... Be careful and whatnot.

are there any local shops to see Radrover bikes in Oregon

Mary Perin | Aug 11, 2022
Xyz Abc | Aug 12, 2022

No. Their website has a "Where to Ride" page you should check out. Two places to rent rad bikes in Oregon. Trip to Seattle may be best if you want the hands on experience.

I'm looking at new Handlebars for my Rad Rover Step thru. What size is the handlebar connection? I need more of a sweep back on handlebars.

Jim Sands | Aug 11, 2022
Bill Rodgers | Aug 12, 2022

You will have to get a "stem riser" to accommodate the new bars.

I am buying 2 used radrovers. They weigh 80 lbs each. How do I transport them on my outback with a 2 inch hitch. I currently use a roof rack for my Mtb. What commercial hitches do. you recommend? Thanks

I live at the top of a 1.3 mile long 10% grade--will the RAD Cargo do it? Does anyone in the greater Seattle area rent RADs for me to find out? (I'm on the Eastside)

Lori Youngs | Aug 11, 2022
Mari “Seadjgirl” Odette-Kanotz | Aug 12, 2022

We went to their showroom in Seattle for a scheduled test ride. Make an appointment on their website.

A Google User | Aug 11, 2022
Brad M. | Aug 12, 2022

If you have a hitch that fits onto the bike, yes. Though I wouldn't pull a child in one doing 20mph.

How dors the battery come out

thom thumb | Aug 11, 2022
Joel Carlson | Aug 12, 2022

For the rad Rover: Stand on the left side with your back to the handlebars and your right foot on the kickstand. Move the key on the battery all the way to the left. Gently pull the battery towards the handlebars, up along the frame. Do not try to pick it off the frame. Reverse procedure to mount the battery. Let the battery down SLOWLY, so you don't bend any of the pins at the bottom.

I want to purchase 2 Rad Bikes but was wondering how you transport them as they are heavier than a regular bike. Do you need a special bike rack?

Holly Rose | Aug 11, 2022
Brad M. | Aug 12, 2022

Check the carrying weight limit of your bike rack versus weight of the two Rad Bikes. If your rack holds 3 or 4 bikes, it may be enough. Of course, take the batteries off of the bikes as they weigh about 6 pounds each

Harley Starkey | Aug 11, 2022
Stephen Armstrong | Aug 12, 2022

Take it back to the shop to fix it. Those do not normally work loose, the ideal fix.

Mitchell Hubbard | Aug 11, 2022
Wilfred Reyes | Aug 12, 2022

Yes, you can. Sometimes they are out of stock though. Purchase it as soon as you know you want one and they are in stock, because their inventory runs out pretty quickly (especially during peak summer months)

Where can I get new tires for my wheels wore the tread off of them need replaced

Ann Passant | Aug 11, 2022
Jeffrey Morales | Aug 12, 2022

You can get them at any bike shop. Tire size is a general tire. Strongly recommend a heavy duty puncture resistant tire for rear. That takes alot if weight and is a huge pain to change rear wheel. Lug specs must be perfect!
