![]() RadMission is the lightest, most affordable electric bike from Rad Power Bikes to date.It’s a single-speed ebike, like their RadRunner, so the drivetrain is very simple, quiet, and clean. It does come stock with reflective tires and integrated lights. This is the cheapest ebike from Rad Power Bikes and is very stripped down… it doesn’t even include a kickstand! However, they do sell a kickstand for $15, along with fenders, racks, suspension seat post, bags, and other accessories.These bikes are using a brand new proprietary geared hub motor, lower capacity 504 watt hour battery pack (that interfaces the same way as the other Rad batteries and is cross compatible), and the simpler LED display panel also used on the RadRunner. This is the first generation of the RadMission, and I was loaned the standard high step and ST (step-thru) versions… the ST is actually more of a mid-step.I got to see the van and interact with some of the Austin Texas and Vancouver Canada team members, and was impressed with this unique service that blends the predominantly online presence of Rad with a local shop feel!

Starting in 2020, customers in some major cities including Austin, Seattle, Sacramento, and Vancouver Canada can pay $149 to have Rad Mobile Service van deliver and assemble their bike.I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the Rad Power Bikes electric bike forums.

"We may have assembly lines in a few locations, but not a manufacturing unit per se," Oza said. The e-bike manufacturer will continue to serve the foreign locations from India as it believes labour costs and the cost of goods will make up for the logistics cost of supplying to these countries.
