Not sure what policies here are for referrals but I have an account if anyone needs an extra $50 off can DM me . The mini4 is a good deal here, you get a lot more bike compared to mission at this price point.. although it’s slightly heavier due to folding hinge and bigger battery so different riding styles.

The mission is a good deal too but is slightly minimalistic (no fenders, not even kick stand) so consider having to buy accessories too

Otherwise I also like the rover 6+ step thru, that one is a steal at 1699

I want an e-bike but I don't want it to look like a shrunken down motorcycle. Radmission looks much better but no gears is a deal breaker for me. I still like to pedal.

I guess I'll have to wait for a deal on the Aventon Soltera....that's more of my ideal ride.

I'm thinking a Brompton e-bike is more your style...I had one before as well.

Personally, I got the Mini because I wanted to try commuting during winter and I needed a fattie to help with traction.

The wide tires have been great. For portability purposes I have it in the RV and then when I want to ride local trails, most trails aren't smooth and paved. The wider tires allows the flexibility of trails as well it's a less bumpy ride.

Edit: spelling

This is a super hot deal for the Rad Mini at $1000-$50 coupon. Pretty much $1000 all in. There is nothing in the $1000 price range that offers 500w 48v motor, 10ah battery, lcd computer, 7 speeds, suspension, folding, and Rads support network. The closest competition is the Lectric XP 2.0 which is $1600.

They are discontinuing the Rad Mini and its being replaced by the inferior Rad Expand 5 which doesn't have front suspension or a lcd screen computer. Plus it's selling for $1849 which is more than the Mini!

Stock will not last long in this. Once it's gone, it's gone. No more stock.

I agree that the Mini4 is the better buy even against the newer Expand 5. They sacrificed too much(LCD screen, suspension fork, fenders) to get the weight down.

According to Rad Power website:

Shipping Method

Shipping is offered through CanPar and Purolator, which is free to all Provinces across Canada. Once your bike ships, you'll receive an email with the tracking number so you can see when the estimated delivery time will be.

I’m not sure, what is the different having gears and no gears? Pls correct me if I’m wrong, but, Isn’t gear for manual rider and mission is for automatic? Mission you can’t pedal? If so how would you ride?

Darn. I just received my Radmission two weeks ago. Very fun bike to ride and feels very solid.

I've emailed the to see if they offer price protection..

@udziee Missions are single speed, meaning you do not have the option for lighter gears for uphills and heavier gears for more speed. All RAD e-bikes have throttle (power on demand) and require pedaling to get to their rated mileage.[/quote]

@axnguyen If you bought on or after Sept 22, you are in luck.

No surprise on the price. It’s gutless. Someone made a huge error in the design. It would be fine if all you did was very very flat terrain and weighed 120llbs. I tried a bunch of e-bikes. This was the worst. You really need a set of gears.

That’s because everything that makes up a Rad bike, likely all came from China.
Don’t let a statement like “made in Canada” or “made in the US” fool you.
They may have been built in Canada or USA, but all the parts that make these bikes aren’t.

Not sure how they are gutless when my Mini can carry my weight up to 40kmh on the flats...and I am not a 120lb kind of person.

The set of gears are for tackling uphills, descending and flats is limited to 40 kph after you set the max speed on the lcd display.

Think I will buy the radmini4 this weekend. Easier to store in my condo and the bike looks like it will suit my short height well.

I think he’s talking about the mission 1 being gutless
