So after owning way to many ebikes I've narrowed it down to a Lectric Xpedition for my wife and I to run around on and I purchased a RadRunner 2 for a commuter. The original RadRunner was the first ebike that I truly loved and regretted selling, all the others had faults that I hated. So I took advantage of Rad's "blow-out" sale at $999 and grabbed a RadRunner 2. The following are what swayed me back to RAD:
Don't need or want a App thru my phone.
I don't care for torque sensors.
I have no need to go faster than 20mph.
My commute is 14 miles each way and I have secure parking and a place to charge at work.
Didn't want a folder and don't need suspension forks.
Simple is just better for me.
Reason I originally left RAD:
Thought I wanted bigger wheels. Nope, 20" works for me.
Thought I wanted something faster. Nope, eats the battery faster.
Thought I wanted a belt drive. Nope, HATED the Lectric ONE so much.
Thought more money got more ebike. Nope, I wasted dumb money looking for that "perfect for me" ebike.
RAD was constantly looking like they were going under. So many crazy staff changes and layoffs. Didn't (and STILL doesn't) look good. But they somehow survive another year.
So yeah, I'm back in RAD land again.
