PSA: "Seattle-based electric-bike maker, Rad Power Bikes has told its employees it would be facing shutdown in January 2026 if it doesn't get new funding, or get acquired. According to TechCrunch, the company's leadership "still fighting to find ways to continue," and "the cessation of Rad's operations is not a foregone conclusion," according to the email, which was sent by Rad Power's "people team."

Community Reviews

The Radster Trail Large stands out as a heavy but polished e bike with strong value at the sale price, especially when the PayPal offer drops it to around $640. It fits riders about 5 foot 7 to 6 foot 4 with a 27 to 35 inch inseam, and the large red frame is the version on sale. The bike is praised for solid components, smooth rides, and easy assembly with good video guidance. Main cautions are its weight, rear hub motor maintenance hassle, final sale status, and ongoing Rad support and battery safety concerns.

  • people planning to use PayPal "Pay in 4" to lower the effective price because multiple commenters said the 20% offer can be applied with PayPal (including at Best Buy) and that it brought the bike to around ~$640 (plus tax).

    dezojcr0ssun_plug

  • taller riders shopping for the Radster Trail Large because the fit guidance shared for the Large lists a height range of 5'7"-6'4" and an inseam range of 27"-35".

    kctimmy

  • DIY-mechanics and tinkerers who are comfortable troubleshooting and fixing small issues because commenters said the bike is "easy to work on" with an openable cover for wiring and that parts can be sourced/replaced via Amazon/eBay.

    DonV1962

  • buyers who want an e-bike they can potentially resell because one commenter said "It's a Rad" and that it can be sold on Facebook Marketplace for more than the deal price.

    FantasticGuide189

  • riders who don't have a way to handle a very heavy bike because commenters repeatedly noted the bike is "very, very, very heavy" and that you may need a strong bike rack and careful handling during delivery/transport.

    DrPutzFantasticGuide189

  • buyers who want long-term brand support and easy parts availability because multiple commenters cautioned that Rad's future support is uncertain (including bankruptcy/going-out-of-business concerns) and that you could be stuck if parts/models aren't supported later.

    nJoy7Monzell

  • buyers who need an easy return path because a commenter warned Best Buy's return policy for this bike is "Final Sale" and "Cannot be returned."

    dezo

  • people who rely on rear-tube swaps without tools or support because commenters said rear-mounted motors make rear tube changes a "PITA" and recommend a bike stand to avoid damaging the rear derailleur.

    shaqweek

  • California shoppers who need it to be legal for their local rules because one commenter warned it "will be illegal in California" under new laws if it's a Class 3 with a throttle.

it doesn't have anything to do with specific stores. you can use it at best buy, as long as you pay with Paypal and have the 20% off pay in 4 added to your account. source: myself, i used it at best buy and have $248 worth of paypal rewards pending. you can use the pay in 4 multiple times too. i didn't check if there is any limit but i already used it twice and have two pending rewards totaling over $330

Hey, do you pay off the full amount right away so you don't get impacted by any PayPal fixed interest rate?

You don't payoff the full amount right away but there won't be any interest. It schedules the 4 payment dates a couple weeks apart and it will automatically do them starting with the first one right away. For example I paid $310.65 right away and this is my schedule.
The payments are to your credit card you choose at checkout for the "pay in 4"
Your payment schedule
  • $310.65 on Dec 8, 2025
  • $310.65 on Dec 24, 2025
  • $310.65 on Jan 9, 2026

The specs on this are pretty great, especially for the price, but man rear-mounted motors on ebikes are so annoying. If you're getting this I highly recommend getting a bike stand capable of holding this 78lb monster because changing the rear tube is going to be a PITA and if you don't have one you'll risk damaging the rear derailleur while you struggle with getting everything off.

Solid ebike and at an unheard of price. If I didn't have a bike already, I'd be buying this.

This one has 27.5 in wheels with 3 inch tires which I personally do not like because of more rolling resistance and 3 inch tires won't allow you to get back home on a bus bike rack if it breaks down.

The deal is also available for the commuter version which has 29 inch wheels and 2.2 inch tires.

Looking at images for both bikes, the only difference I can spot is the front fender on the road model has more coverage and it comes with a chain guard.

If you really wanted to be slick you'd also buy through a CB portal and save even more. Like an extra 18% with one in particular I cannot name.

As mentioned before, avoid RadPower. They're bankrupt and going out of business. Unless you have a local bike shop willing to work on this, I'd look elsewhere.
