Worst part (beyond the incidents that have already caused $734K in damage, RAD doesn't have funds available to exchange the batteries.

"The importer, Rad Power Bikes Inc., of Seattle, Washington has refused to agree to an acceptable recall. Given its financial situation, Rad Power Bikes has indicated to CPSC that it is unable to offer replacement batteries or refunds to all consumers."

  1. This is why it’s best to avoid these pop-up eBike brands vs buying from a reputable brand. You either get a bad product, lack of warranty, the brand may cease to exist, or all of the above.

  2. I really want to go back and send this to every dingus who cried “elitist” when our shop refused to service these bikes
