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.

Common Questions (6)

  • There are repeated concerns about Rad Power's future, including shutdown or bankruptcy risk, which could affect support and parts availability. The bike uses many generic components and some riders expect parts or battery rebuild services to remain available, but buying from a brand with uncertain support is still a risk.

  • You need to click the 20% PayPal offer in your PayPal account before checkout; Best Buy checkout may not show the discount. The reward can appear later as pending points, and the bike has been bought for about $640 after the PayPal savings.

  • Best Buy was confirmed to provide a 2-year warranty, with repair or replacement options. Rad Power's own support was not covering at least one Best Buy purchase issue, so the practical warranty path is through Best Buy rather than Rad.

    ballz50401ballz50401ballz50401un_plug

  • Yes. The bike is described as very heavy, around 78 lb, so a sturdy bike stand and a strong bike rack are useful. Rear wheel or tube work can be awkward because the rear motor and derailleur make removal more cumbersome.

  • The Large Radster Trail is listed for riders about 5'7" to 6'4" with an inseam of 27" to 35". A practical fit check from the thread also suggests it suits riders around 67" to 76" tall.

    kctimmyBCKit

  • Yes. The Best Buy listing for this bike was called out as final sale, meaning it cannot be returned under the store policy mentioned in the thread.

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.
