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.

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.

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.

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.
