The manufacturer website has it for $699.
Costco had the old version Voyager Compass with 12" wheels for $399 a couple of years ago.
I've been looking for a small foldable E-bike for a while now but they are all in the $700 range. This is the best price I've seen for a fully foldable E-bike.
I rode my friend Jetson Bolt and while I loved it, it does not fully fold and its a bit too kiddy looking.
Purchased as soon as I saw it.
Will let you know how it goes.
Will get one for the wife it this goes well.

Please do not rebuy and abuse costco's return policy or we'll end up losing it like every other big chain store
Wondering where you are that "around here there are many streets over 40% grade."

My understanding is that "the steepest officially recorded public street in the U.S." is Canton Ave. in Pittsburgh, at a 37% gradient.
If you rebuy at the lower price and returned the new unopened box/package on the old receipt, you're not hurting Costco too much. It's restockable.

If anyone still checks this thread... Would personally recommend adding an extra brake, especially if you go down hill.
Just had mine fail while trying to stop, luckily turned uphill instead of launching into traffic...

Other than that, been loving the bike for a quick mile uphill, mile home commute.
Tops out at 9-12 mph up hill.
Absolutely flies down hill, maybe too much now...

Did you actually pulled the battery pack out? mine bike's battery pack has the string/belt but not able to pull it out with some force. possible the pack glued to the tube to prevent pack from moving up/down
I E-mailed the company directly and they responded that you can't replace the battery on the voyager radius pro. I will return it if this is true. Please tell me that its possible.

Thank you for the quick reply. Wriggling sides with flat screw driver isn't working. Have to cut 1/2 pvc pipe with 1/4 opening from end to end to let wire run through, bike in folding position, insert pvc pipe into battery tube bottom via folding opening hole, hammer pvc pipe upper wards to push battery out of the tube. Battery weight is 4.5lbs. attached are battery label and motor controller pictures

I E-mailed the company and they states that the battery is not replaceable. You were able to take it out and put it back in successfully?

yes, pulled the battery pack out to weight on scale then put it back into bike tube and connect it back via its xt60 adapter. battery pack dimension/size measured by 18650 battery 3(18mm)x3(18mm)x5(65mm). It is 13s3p, three 2500mAH to yield 7.5AH.

When climbing up hill, does changing the speed level (1 through 3) make any difference for you? For me, it doesn't make any change at all, same slow speed, no torque at all.

Sorry to hear that but glad that you had it under control and didn't get hurt.

Can you share a bit more on how the brake failed? Did the caliper get loose? Pull cable got loose? Something else? Thanks!

As far as I could tell, the brake pad looks like it had worn through ~1mm, after less than 20 miles of use. Saw quite a bit of what looked like graphite powder, which I assume was debris from the pad wearing down so fast

It seemed like the caliper just didn't have enough range/force to hold the disc at that point, and there wasn't any warning either.
Testing it afterwards, with a full pull on the brake handle, I'd still gain speed going down hill and the wheel would turn while pushing the bike by hand.

It's possible upgraded brake pads could help with that.

The dual hydraulic brakes I installed have been great, feels really secure and able to stop as fast as the tires will allow (without skidding)

Thanks for sharing!

I actually experienced a similar situation but not as scary as yours because I was on flat city road -- one day when I was applying the brake, even when my hand lever hit a stop, the brake wasn't fully engaged (was working fine the day before). I saw the pull cable needed a long travel for the pads to touch the rotor, and the pull cable arm (on the caliper) traveled so far that it hit the front part of caliper and couldn't go further.

After some inspection I think I met the same thing as you said: pads worn out. What I did, was to take the caliper off the frame, adjust the dial on the back (on a normal bike this can be done without taking caliper off, but this bike has hub motor that blocks everything...) clockwise a bit so the pads are closer to each other (the pads themselves seem to still have decent thickness). That fixed the issue. Now I inspect the brake before every ride to make sure pads can fully engage without pull cable traveling too far. My bike has ~300 miles on it so it's not too bad, but will definitely pay more attention to it.

I'm tempted to do the hydraulic upgrade but a bit lazy, and also I'm not super handy and don't want to deal with threading the wire and re-bleed it (looks like you have to disconnect the cable for it to go thru)...
