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.

Ok, you are the outlier. I've stopped twice to help people on our mt trails with flats and clueless. One on the smaller tire, cargo style bike that was pushing 80+ lbs I think. Both had no tools or spare tubes. One had a pump..wheee. Ride safe
That was very kind of you to help them. I probably would have passed by I am sad to say.

I think what you see is due to the sensibility that we see to much of on here and everywhere which is that you can not or should not have get you hands dirty or do things yourself and the only way to buy something safely is to pay much for hopes that some corporation really cares about you and will always offer service and support at no cost. I think maybe 30% of what we pay for any particular consumer good is cost related to selling that idea to consumers that want to believe that such a unicorn exists.

Everybody wants to be lord of the manor with hands clean and have the little people and staff to set it all up so they can enjoy their pleasures. it is the idea that Mike Rowe fights so strongly against. It leaves us crippled as consumers and producers.

It is crippling sensibility and I guess fine if you have money but think the middle and lower classes are inpoverihing themselves and worse crippling their abilities and skills that can be applied in many places to learn and do things themselves. They leave themselves stranded with flat and they stare at it like things are impossible to fix without the gods of repair being called. I can tell you for fact that in almost all cases the gods are repair sent out are low skilled & low paid worker. The sales and marketing teams selling the idea the company cares about you are who make the real money. Most field people also do not care about their jobs as they have the same sensibility and think they should be doing something better and not getting their hands dirty.

It has got so surreal that people with little or limited means will call in and pay for the experts to turn a screw, to clean the trash bins or plan a babies party.

The very idea is marketer/salesman's dream come true and the consumers nightmare. People have taken to to place where they assume they need to know nothing about everything.

My wife works for a service company. People do not want to hear that you may have to clean, fix or maintain something. They pay for service policies that assure to do that that but do not really assure that at all when you read the fine print. Her company in fact makes much money by selling service policies that give people assurance that things are checked and working properly. The company uses the appointments as sales opportunities. Techs in house get sales commission if they find a problem.

To hide from the horror that you have some unexpected repair or have to fix or repair something consumers literally pay a corporation to send salespeople to their house four times a year.

That makes me want to be mad at the corporations but the public that has that sessibity are the ones that make it possible. She had person call in yesterday that wanted three outlet covers installed. She tried to dissuade him but he refused and wants the expert that will likely charge $300+ for the service.

There are settings in the bike that can have you riding class 2. The new law even mentions firmware settings to make bikes lagel. You are not a lawyer and law always has grey areas and you may read it wrong. You also have to consider that in state that does a terrible job with serious crime how likely are cops going to go to ticket some citizen riding an ebike safely

If only we could the same fervor for rape murder, drug dealing and street defecation we may once again have functioning society. Everybody likes to get all gestapo with their pet peeves and shows me zee papers on little things and yet makes excuses the big and bad one and fail to enforce law for things that devastates people's lives.

Hey policeman I have just been robbed, my car was stolen for the second time this week and a drug addict tried to abduct my child and piised on the side of my house. We get sorry I am busy ticketing e bike riders for revenue. Same homeowner takes his ebike out to cool down and the swat team takes him down for being over wattage.

I am a bit confused wasn't California in the lead in pushing people to take up less impactful forms of travel. and now wants to make their life miserable.

Maybe they need to defund the police on smaller matters and not make a honest citizen illegal with some arbitrary unneeded and stupid law. They can not handle the pace of serious crime and while someone is being ticketed on a bike there is not a cop around when a store is getting robbed or someone is shot or raped. I wonder why would they would want to call some citizen illegal for something as innocent as riding a bike. Is not this the same state that protects and helps rapists, drug dealers and murderers to not face the consequences of not just breaking state law but federal?

Please try to not bring up law PSAs in a deal forums it depresses me on nice Sunday morning to realize what idiots are in charge of many areas of the nation.

The battery this bike comes with, the Rad SafeShield battery is not included in this warning.
But this explains why they are going out of business.

From the CPSC: "Rad's Safe Shield batteries and semi-integrated batteries are not subject to the agency's statement"
