![]() The RadMission is an exciting addition to the Rad Power stable. It’s clearly a professionally built machine and I like to see that kind of attention to detail in a bike. Not only that, but the underlying frame welds are neat and tidy. I was impressed by the quality of the paintwork on the bike that I’ve been testing – out of the box it was in perfect condition with no scratches, chips, blemishes or paint runs. There are a number of colorways available on the RadMission – these include White, Black or Red in the mid-step frame option and Blue, Gray and Black in the high-step. That said, you still need to make sure that you can safely mount and dismount from any bike that you ride. With electric pedal-assist bikes though this is less of an issue as you’re getting a dose of extra power from the motor and this helps to compensate. On a push bike it’s more important to get the sizing just right because the physics of pedaling mean that you might not be able to get the same power from a bike that’s the wrong size for you. The RadMission mid-step frame extends this range to accommodate riders with inside leg length of 25.5”-34”. It’s also been tested out by the rest of my family, who range in height from 5’0” to 5’10”, and each of them was also happy with the height. At 5’8” (and around 31” inseam), this has proved to be a comfortable fit for me. The size guide on the Rad website indicates that this high-step frame is good for riders with an inside leg length of between 29” and 35”. The gray color with black detailing is subtle, understated, suave and refined. I’ve been testing out the RadMission in the gray color and high-step frame. “The RadMission is an excellent quality ebike that’s simple to operate and maintain, fun to ride, comfortable, laughs at hills and horrible weather, and is possibly the best value ebike at this price point” If you’d like a little more detail, then stick around. I’ll take you through what I’ve found in a moment but, if you’re just looking for a little extra justification to buy a RadMission, then here’s the bottom line: The RadMission is an excellent quality ebike that’s simple to operate and maintain, fun to ride, comfortable, laughs at hills and horrible weather, and is possibly the best value ebike at this price point. Pick two” – I was keen to see if the RadMission could actually deliver on all three. Because, to borrow an overused phrase from the service industry – “We offer three types of service: Good, Cheap, Fast. So, when Rad Power offered to let me take a RadMission for a spin, I jumped at the chance. And then there’s the price – just under $1200 – a lot of bike for not a lot of price.Īs a natural born skeptic though, I’m normally suspicious of anything that seems to be too good to be true. Read through the details on Rad’s website and you’ll see that the tech components look great quality and non-electronic bike components look solid. On paper, the RadMission 1 from Rad Power Bikes looks like a fantastic electric bike, but is it actually as good as it seems to be? I wanted to find out.
