After having our RadMini Step-Thru 2 power bikes for just under 6 months, the Two Tired Teachers each racked up 1,000 miles riding the most fun bikes ever.
People stop us often to ask about the bikes. One question that is regularly asked after the inquirer discovers that we have 1,000 miles on the bikes is if the tires are the originals. They are. Each of us has had a flat on the front tire, but we patched the tube and are still using the original tires.
Another question we are asked is if the batteries are the originals. Yes. We haven't noticed a difference in the way they charge or any diminished capacity of the batteries.
After having the bikes for now 8 months, we enjoy them more now than we did at first. The decision to spend $1,500 each for bikes was not one we too lightly. It's a lot of money. If I had it to do again, the only thing I would change is I would have bought the bike earlier.
Because we have the bikes, we can see more of the campgrounds and the surrounding areas. We get out and do more since we have the bikes. Riding in the Caddo National Wildlife Refuge is just one example of things we've seen because of the bikes.
We have added few accessories to the bikes. MiLena, one of the Two Tired Teachers, has an under the seat bag that we got from Academy. Sharon, the other of the Two Tired Teachers, has a Rad rear rack and saddlebags she'd used before we got the bikes. Each of us has a mirror that attaches to the handlebar. That accessory is probably the most important one we have. We also got some gel seat covers that are washable. Those and the mirrors, we got at WalMart.
Other than cleaning and lubing the chains on the bikes, the only other maintenance thing Sharon has done to the bikes is adjust the brakes.
Congratulations on 1000 miles
Loved your video! I am a disabled, retired teacher looking forward to getting mine. Thanks for sharing. You’re so cute!
We hope you love your bike as much as we love ours.
You ladies are just wonderful and inspirational. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Welcome to Two Tired Teachers. Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks ladies for keeping us updated....we plan to purchase bikes before next Spring!!
We hope you love them as much as we love ours. Once you get them, or before, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
You two tired teachers awesome. Love your bikes and enthusiasm. Enjoy your retirement.
I don't know how we could enjoy retirement more than we are now. We love the bikes, and we love retirement.
thank you for the great review, we are full time RV and travel all the US, and we are getting two of these!
Congratulations! We hope you love yours as much as we love ours.
Thank you for a great review. We have recently decided to buy an e-bike and a foldable Rad bike is on top of my list.
We truly love our Rads.
Great review. I just received my Rad Power 6 plus an waiting for the wife's mini step through. I had ordered her a 6 plus but she saw it and freaked. She will now roll on a mini. We will carry ours on the back of the Sprinter. Picking up a Hollywood rack tomorrow.
We hope you enjoy your Rads as much as we still enjoy ours. They are so much fun.
Thanks ladies! You do great videos. Love y’all’s smiling happy demeanor. Keep living the life and keep having fun together. God bless
We often thank God for each other. Not all siblings enjoy being together.
Awesome -- way to go 1000 miles!!!
Looks like a lot of fun!!
We truly do love riding our bikes.
You 2 are amazing. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you.
We have been watching Rad bikes since they came out but now that we bought the Airstream- the folding bikes make sense - when I do buy the bikes we will definitely use your link or mention your channel thanks for another great review 👍
We sincerely appreciate that.
We love our Rad Power City Step-thru bikes! I have almost 1000 miles on mine too.
That is awesome!
This is the best piece of advertising for a Rad ebike that I've seen so far. Keep up! Cheers from sunny Italy.
We truly love our bikes.
Great video! Thanks for the thorough review.
We have done the reviews at various times in our ownership, so we do the reviews to let people know we still love the bikes.
Wow! 1000 miles! Amazing! So happy to be riding mine as well. Thank you so much for another great video! 😀
Please let us know how you are liking the bike.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Absolutely love it! Only 25 km so far...it’s a joy!
I love my Rad and would never ever have gone electric because I thought it was being lazy. I got the Rad Runner for a fantastic deal and have been having the time of my life. I truly cannot stop smiling when I go out for my ride. I call it my 'Mini Hog". What a blast!
Rad opened a shop in Vancouver BC Canada and I am seeing more and more people out there riding Rad's. When you go into the shop in Vancouver they treat you like a valued important customer and honestly you cannot go wrong !!!!!!!!
Rad rocks big time and I would recommend to everyone and anyone
Sheila in Vancouver Canada
We are so glad you love your Rad. We smile while riding ours also.
Thank you from Canada! You're an inspiration!!!
No, thank you.
This is informative to know, thank you because we're thinking of getting a pair of these e-bikes too! Like 611. (One of us also used to be in the teaching field briefly!) 🚲🚲
I highly recommend that you call Rad if you decide to get bikes. They can easily tell you of any promotions they have.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Thanks a lot!
Way to go on the 1000 miles:) After a month wife and daughter have the mini and they have about 200 miles. I got a mountain ebike el cheapo model and I have 500 miles on mine. And I do not think it is a stretch to say, it has changed your life. I rode 46 miles the other day, with a bad back and bad hip. No way I could have done that without an ebike. We ride usually 10 miles a day and look for an excuse to go some where and ride. It has put me back in the game and gave us a new hobby :)
Way to go! Riding the ebikes is fun! We love riding ours, and, like you, we look for reasons to ride.
Awesome. Enjoy riding your bikes.
Thanks.
Thank you both for your enjoyable and helpful videos.
Just ordered bikes and used your code…..😊
We hope you love your bikes as much as we love ours.
Hello Ladies Looks like your having a blast. Cheers!
We do love our bikes. We're ready for some warmer temperatures so we can really ride.
Good job sisters, ride on!
Thank you! Will do!
Great review! Thank you for sharing.
We do love our bikes.
Girls thank you because I’m retired as well, that looks fun and y’all don’t ride fast and the Rad step through Mini is nice 👍🏾 I have a budget the price is out of me range y’all are awesome 😎 Tow Tired Teachers
Thank you so much!
Rad has financing! 😁😁😁
@@WrethaOffGrid Very cool!
Great review. I appreciate this video as I am thinking about getting one.
If you decide to get one, I encourage you to call Rad and speak with a tier 2 representative. That person should be able to help you decide on the very best bike for you.
We have had ours a year today, and we still love them. They are fun!
Love you two 💋
We love our viewers, too.
Thanks for posting this!
I’m seriously considering the same bike
We love our Rads
Thanks we have been thinking of a cheeper bike but i also think that the up grades to a rad are worth the extra cost
Some of the things we love about the Rad bikes are the battery without a memory. We can charge as often as we like. We also like that the bikes are sturdy. Both of us have fallen on the bikes, and no harm was done to the bikes.
Great video review. It’s good to see you getting out with the covid thing impacting normal life. One thought you can carry bear mace which is a little large but might help if you run into wild animals while out. You have to be careful with it and make sure the wind doesn’t blow it back if you need to use it. Some folks like urban explorers who actually go into abandoned buildings in dangerous urban cities carry bear mace. Obviously some people carry handguns as well but animals don’t know that a gun will be a threat and a wild dog might decide to attack you no matter what you have displayed. I had a pit bull run up though a abandoned house and run up to a porch with a small low fence in front of the porch and he barked at me but did not jump the fence and he cools have easily. He if he wanted would not have been deterred by seeing a handgun or bear mace. But shooting an animal would not be ideal and some might feel bad dispensing of an animal that is following its instincts. So bear mace is probably a good self defense idea for anyone out in the wild.
Thanks for the tip. We have ridden several places that have bear, but fortunately we haven't encountered one. We do need to invest in some bear spray.
great review.
Thank you.
Also mine wasn’t supplied w rad tires but the cst big boat . They said they won’t take the 20x 4 tubes but 20 c 3 and they are always sold out ! But i ordered some off amazon - hope they are good
I don't know what brand our tires are. Sorry.
Since you had to Adjust the brakes on the front, have you thought of checking the Brake Pads (front & rear) to see if they need replacing Yet?? Luv your videos Ladies 😀
We just took them to a bike shop to have them check everything out. Thanks for the suggestion.
And... need to figure out how to add an extension for sun visor on helmet !
Do an Internet search. One RUclips video says it has a solution for $3.
I’m 72, fell had back surgery and am ordering a mini today. Did you add cushions or a new seat and where did you get yours? Thank you for your time. You are two sweet ladies and your interview was very interesting.1000 miles is impressive, both for you two and the rad!
We ordered some gel seat covers from ebay to help pad the seats. I hope you love your Rad as much as we love ours.
@@TwoTiredTeachers thanks ladies!
Just got thru the “break in” period for our batteries. I don’t remember what Rad recommends after the three 12 hour cycles. Are you in the habit of plugging in your bikes (batteries) after each ride now that you’ve reached the 1000 miles or do you track the number of hours charging every time depending on how much battery is used each time? Any issues with humidity or rain so far? We bought covers and some heavy duty motorcycle security chains for ours for camping so hope that will be sufficient for keeping them dry and inconspicuous. Hoping we won’t always have to lift them in/out of truck as they are a bit heavy. Do you lock them up outside while at campground or stow all the time in van? We are loving the bikes as well, thanks to you ladies. Safe travels. God Bless 🇺🇸
When we're home, we usually charge after the batteries are down a tic or two. It will take maybe as much as 4 hours for them to charge. We do not track the number of miles.
We've had no issues with humidity or rain, but they are kept in a garage, and we don't ride when it's wet.
Ordinarily when we are camping, we keep the bikes in the van. We feel safer that way. Having said that, I will tell you that no one has ever bothered any of our stuff while we've been camping.
Glad you are loving the bikes. After a thousand + miles, we still love ours.
@@TwoTiredTeachers, thanks again. I’m happy to say that in >30 years camping we’ve never had any problems with anyone messing with anything on our sites either (well, except in the Keys where the raccoons broke into a cooler and siphoned most of the contents of eggs in a carton without even crushing the shells, pretty amazing). Hopefully if we keep a cover over our new bikes and chain them when not in use that stroke of good fortune will continue. Safe travels & fun riding.
@@user-gh8sl7iu3y Glad to hear it. When we were first looking at RVs, the salesman told us that others in the campground would help us with anything we needed. He also told us that we didn't need to be afraid because a bunch of campers carry guns. I don't know that the guns part is true, but we have found campers to be more than willing to help if we get in a bind.
Congrats on 1,000. Are there any current discount codes?
I think this is it. rwrd.io/b8e8jw6?c
I am considering replacing the seat on my Radmini. Is that the original seat? What seat cushion did you get?
It is the original seat. I can't remember what seat covers we got, but I think we ordered them from eBay.
Ok I’m ready to buy!!! Is there still a discount?
If you'll send your email address to www.TwoTiredTeachers@yahoo.com
Rad has a promotion where they will give you $100 off, and they will give us $100 Rad gift card.
I got a lot of stickers at Inks lake
Sorry.
Excuse me young ladies. Im thinking of buying this bike. I’m 5’4” tall. Some reviews say the handlebars are too high. What you think ?
We are both between 5' and 5'5. The handlebars are fine for us. You might call Rad, and they would possibly be able to suggest a better bike for you.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Thank you for answering. If it's good for you then should be good for me.
Great!
What kind of under seat bag did you get ? Been looking
Mine is a Bell that I got from Academy. I don't know what kind Sharon's is, but I'm sure we got it at Walmart.
What about the wheel bearings.....did you replace them....
No. We take the bikes to a reputable bike repair shop to have them cleaned up and anything adjusted that needs to be adjusted. They said nothing about the wheel bearings, so we didn't replace them.
What rear rack did you get ? Rad is sold out of that as well as mirrors and tubes
We got a Rad rear rack as well as a Rad tube. The mirrors came from Walmart.
Love you ❤️ I am thinking of buying Radrunner plus
We love our Rads. If you decide to buy, I recommend you talk with a tier 2 rep if you are undecided on a bike, that rep should be able to guide you to the perfect bike for you!
@@TwoTiredTeachers thank you ❤️❤️
@@shaahin6818 You bet.
And what kind of rear rack ?
Oh I hear you got it from rad I hope the one i ordered from amazon will work
Thanks for the great video! And for your years of teaching. Question-can one of you get the bike into your vehicle by yourself and if so, how? I’m thinking of getting one and using a folding dog ramp to load it into the back of my Honda CRV with the handle bar folded. Any tips on a one person load? I’m in my 60s too. Thanks!
Sharon can load it by herself using a folding dog ramp, but the bike cannot be folded while rolling it up the ramp.
Nice review. I'm just curious what those stickers are on your front fenders. They look "official".
They have our Two Tired Teachers logo.
I might need one of those stickers they are awesome.
@@TravelingNana63 The bikes are wonderful and the stickers just made us even happier.
Yall remind me of my auntie
You must have the coolest aunt. 😎 Thank you!
What is the longest single ride you have taken?
I know we've ridden 17 miles several times. I don't think we've gone 20 on a single ride.
I’m enjoying mine finally when i can ! But I’m getting a squeal after a press the brakes and release ...? We tried some adjustments but it’s still squealing
As I suggested below, you might call Rad.
Saw on another site to clean disc's with alchohol and a soft microfiber cloth, should stop squeal
Appreciate the videos. Where did you get the mirrors?
Sorry to be so long in responding. We got the mirrors at Walmart.
What kind of seat covers did you get? Do you have a link? And did it make a big difference in being able to ride longer with no discomfort?
I don't have a link for the seat covers. We either got them off of ebay or at Walmart. They are gel covers. A friend of ours replaced the seat, and she takes LONG rides, 20 - 30 miles. Any standard seat should fit the post.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Thanks ladies. I ordered a bike. Called the number, asked for tier 2 and gave them your email as referral. She said you would have to have given me actual code so I am sorry. : (
If your bike has not arrived it is possible for them to apply the referral if you don't mind calling them again. The current code is
www.talkable.com/x/OIXj56 I hope you enjoy your bike as much as we enjoy ours.
What pressure do you keep in your tires.
Mine read 30 lbs
Trina, the PSI on the tires is 30 pounds.
@@TwoTiredTeachers Yes, that's what I try to keep in mine. Thanks. I enjoy seeing you and your sister's adventures.
@@trinaschukar59 You make our day when you say things like that!
@@fisherwomanforJesus I've heard you get a much more comfortable ride if you don't exceed 20 PSI.
Did yours come with the knobby tires?
Yes, but I'm not sure they come with those now. They do come with fat tires.
What is your referral code? I clicked the link above and nothing happened
Thanks for reaching out to us. I don't know why, not they constantly change the code. This is the most current.
rwrd.io/b8e8jw6?c
I hope you enjoy your bike as much as we enjoy ours.
Two Tired Teachers
How much is the discount? I'm looking to buy either this or the lectric xp!
If you call, ask the representative; they may have discounts other than the $50 off. The current discount code is www.talkable.com/x/CjBV9M
When you talk to Rad, please tell them that Two Tired Teachers at Yahoo.com referred you.
Could you do a video of adjusting the brakes ? I k ow rad has one but it didn’t seem to fix the whining sound on my front wheel . I will hit the brakes , release and then it whines moving forward .
I'll talk with Sharon about it. I'm not really clear on what kind of "whine" it's making. You might call Rad.
@@TwoTiredTeachers yeah I watched the videos and we tried to adjust but it still makes the sound
@@fisherwomanforJesus Have you tried calling Rad?
@@TwoTiredTeachers yes they emailed how to fix brakes but it didn’t help
@@fisherwomanforJesus If you know of anyone with a bike shop, they might be able to help.
So how’s it going now? Still good?
We still love the bikes. Recently we were visiting friends on Albuquerque, and we took a 20 mile ride.
Hi Ladies I tried the code but it's expired
Sorry for the slow response. We just got home from a month long trip where wifi was hard to find. The current code is below.
rwrd.io/b8e8jw6?c
I also got a fatter bike seat for my tush lol
We've talked about it, but haven't gotten them.
What can you recommend about a seat cover?
We ordered the ones we have from eBay. I think any gel cover will make riding easier.
Are they good for running to the grocery store?
Currently, we are going to the grocery only once every two weeks, so they wouldn't really work for that; however, just to pick up a few things, I think it would be doable.
Have you replaced your brake pads yet ?
No. We took them to San Angelo to be serviced and the brake pads were fine.
Do u think this bike would work for someone 350lbs?
The only Rad that has a payload capacity of 350 is the Rad Wagon. The Rad Runner and the Rad Runner Plus both have payload capacities of 300. Having said that, you might reach out to Rad and see what they say. I am 100% sure that people who weigh 350 + have ridden on bikes that aren't supposed to handle that weight. I'm not sure if riding when you weigh more than the recommended would do anything to the warranty.
Yes. No worries on that.
How heavy are these bikes?
With the batteries, they each weigh 69 pounds.
I want to order a bike from Rad. The discount code you gave in the description has expired. Do you have a current code? If not, then I’ll call them and tell them you referred me. Thanks.
I'm really behind on responding to comments. I'm sorry this is so late. The current code is rwrd.io/b8e8jw6?c
Thank you!
@@terrimensing8754 You are most welcome.
Coupon code doesn't work. :(
This is the most current code. www.talkable.com/x/qoQU7I

Thanks for letting us know
@@TwoTiredTeachers Ugh. I Went to add accessories and the coupon code disappeared. Anyway you can generate another one? The one from the link you gave won't work now. They sure do have a wonky website.
