You missed the Seattle Rain Festival! Rad makes great bikes, but they are sooo heavy. While in Seattle too bad you didn't go to the other local Ebike company -- Propella, just 25 miles south in Redmond. Propella has a limited, but great line of light weight Ebikes.
@@ElectricBikeJournal I pushing 75 & just sold my Specialized Carbon Comp that was modified with Redshift StopShock seatpost & stem + larger Panaracer Gravel tires that made it comfy for both the mean streets of Seattle as well as gravel trails. Looking for an Ebike replacement that is under 45 lbs for mostly tarmac but some gravel too. I've narrowed it down to Propella C9-V2 Pro & Velotric T1 ST. Any thoughts on pros & cons of those two bigs for an aging biker? Thanks!
Totally subjective question. Being that you have reviewed both, what would be the better commuter (~25 miles round-trip), the Radster Road or Lectric One. On the fence with both.
We hear you. We've heard and read those comments as well. I guess it's one of those things where you find what you're looking for... if you're looking for the frightful stories you'll see them. We personally know a lot of people that have had nothing but a great experience, and our own experience has been great as well. That's only a small fraction of the grand story, but we are here to continue to hope for the best for everyone. If you were holding out to give them a try, these new bikes are definitely a big leap forward for their collection.
That was a concern for me too. I heard that Aventon had higher quality and better customer service. after riding my Aventon for a little over 1 thousand miles some of the electronics broke. It took me weeks to get a replay on my costumer service claim, and they said I was out of luck because they didn’t have the parts in stock. But when I called rad power bike they answered immediately. They pass the vibe check and have definitely changed for the better.

We get to be in the PNW rain fest a lot, so we were happy to see the sun in Seattle. We have also reviewed a few of Propella's bikes and enjoyed them.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Maybe you can set the basket the other way using zap straps.

The Radwagon 4 had 22" wheels, not 24"
You are correct, thank you for catching that.
Wish I could give Rad Power a chance but I've only read horror stories on reddit and Facebook about their terrible customer service.
