Deal Details
https://www.radpowerbik
Discounted to $999 from $1699. I think this is the lowest it has been. This is a good alternative to the RadRover 6 deal (found here https://slickdeals.net/f/17699844-radrover-6-plus-electric-bike-w-fat-tire-in-charcoal-riders-5-7-6-2-999-free-s-h?v=1) , which is ginormous and too big for small people.
Found the deal on Reddit and the post gives a bit more info: https://old.reddit.com/r/ebikes/c..._its_been/

Looks like the Rad City 5+ variants are also on sale, $700 less than their normal $1699. These share basically everything with the Rad Rover 6+ - motor, gearing, brakes, battery. The city has skinnier road tires and an integrated rear rack. The City is 64 lbs compared with the Rover's 75 lbs, and so gets a little more range out of its battery.
YMMV 50% off one accessory: code "RAD50"
I'm an e-bike amateur but this seems like a solid deal on an entry-level e-bike from what I've found online.

No worries, I'm new to these things too! My only knowledge comes from an older RadMission purchased for my Dad as a gift over a year ago. The charging port on his (admittedly different model) battery has a silicone cap that covers it when not charging. Not sure if these have the same. These have a semi-integrated battery, so most of the time it seems like the key can be left in the ignition when the battery is removed for charging, or vice versa, the key can be removed when parked in public while the battery remains in place. I could be totally wrong here.
As far as support, the RadMission has been out of production for a while, and Dad recently broke his derailer (backed up into an unseen stump). He contacted Rad support, and he had a new derailer on the way the same day (paid for the part and shipping, maybe ~$20?). Maybe they're still using the same derailer model so they had stock, but I was impressed that they had spare parts for an out-of-production model. Can't comment on local shops but they seem to tout a large "network" of retailers they have relationships with as well.
Full disclosure I've already ordered a high-step, so I'll try to remember to come back and report on the issues you listed.
