Rad Power Bikes may not exist next year, FYI.

Can you comment on if the rad power bikes use mostly standard generic components?

I am not adverse to no support and got that with the three low end generic china bikes I have but would like to know if like they this bike has the fundamentals easily repaired or replaced without any of the basics being proprietary. If I spend $300- $400 on similar china generic ebike I end up in the same place anway.

Looking at it that way it still can be a very good deal if overall quality and components are better. Who knows maybe there will be some china aftermarket batteries and controllers showing up. There are few companies that will rebuild battery packs.

Really is spectacular price and those not adverse to self repair can maybe get a great deal.

Too bad it wasn't a mid-drive.

They are not the only one that that market is getting devastated as ebikes are becoming commoditized as the market matures.

Can you walk through the process to get this offer? I saved the 20% pay in 4 offer on paypal, but when I go to check out and select the pay in 4, it still shows full price.

You will pay 1/4th of the price over 4 payments, the first being immediately.
A few minutes after purchase on Paypal can go to the Rewards section to see your pending rewards which will be 20% of the total in paypal rewards.
You won't get those Paypal rewards to spend until weeks from now but you can rest easy because you will eventually get them.

You are charged full price and receive the 20% as cash back.

There is a SD thread regarding this PayPal deal.

I recommend people take a look at this Wall Street Journal article however to see if the risk/reward is worthwhile for them.

A key point is that even if paid on time, some lenders might view payment installment plans as a negative when determining a potential loan.

If you can get it for dirt cheap it's a good deal. RAD is probably going to go bankrupt very soon. So probably no warranties. Now if it's through Best Buy though, maybe will have better luck.

And this is why you buy bikes from bicycle brands sold in brick and mortar bicycle stores
