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."

use the paypal "pay in 4" for another 20% off taking it down to roughly $640.
then i think if you use bank of america card for 3% back on internet purchases on paypal it would take it down to roughly $620

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.

Quote from DonV1962 View quoted comment :
I think you are are letting you fear and timidity control your life to much and it is making you miss the joy you can have. Everything involves risk and maybe some work or expense. If we cannot manage a cheap Ebike how could we ever manage life itself or a house or car?
Thank you for your psychoanalysis Dr. Freud. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I guess virtually everyone was "fearful" and "timid" before ebikes became more popular.
All those people riding the good old road bikes, without a battery on them, in the Tour de France are especially "timid" and "fearful".

How does this work? Offer saved but it doesn't show anything relating to 20% CB during checkout.
It doesn't show the 20% cashback at checkout. It will show up after.

You misunderstand and missed the point. I did not mean you are cautions of the dangers of bike riding.

I addressed and commented on the point you made which expressed a fear or trepidation at maybe having some problem down the road with a bike. I think you to cautious of shopping. Cautious of the the idea that a purchase might entail risk or that you might end up having to fix or repair something yourself. That is where you are timid just like you expressed.

I would caution against getting an ebike from a brand that might not have any support next year
At this price it's better value than the no name Chinese bikes. I'll roll the dice with this over an AliExpress bike

Did the PayPal Split 4 checkout but 20% did not appear. Can someone confirm that the discount is applied later or did I mess up something?

I only got 171000 points = $171. Not sure why it's not 20% but pretty close.

Quote from shaqweek View quoted comment :
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.
So sorry to dispute, but it's really no different than a regular bike. A little more clunky and heavy, but super easy doing it with the bike upside down.

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
Yes, you do! I went into PayPal and saw a button that said Make a Payment. I was easily able to payoff the full balance in a couple clicks.

Please read bestbuy return policy for this bike. It clearly says - Final Sale. Cannot be returned
It's a Rad. It can be sold on FB for more than this.

Yes, I ride lots of bikes. I just changed a rear fat tire e-bike tube last week. The wheel pulls off by loosening the main nuts, and fiddling with the chain to remove from derailleur. The motor is inside the spokes, so it has nothing to do with accessing the tube. It's just a really large hub.
