This Sunday, an elite team of modern-day gladiators will don their helmets, strap on their gear, and embark on a glorious quest that will push them to their very limits.
But you won't find these living legends on the field. Instead, you'll see them in the streets — and in the saddle.
They’re our nation’s delivery cyclists, and their numbers include thousands of Rad riders, like our friend Jay from Philadelphia.
Okay, so overblown sports metaphors aside, Jay will be the first to tell you that life as a bike courier is anything but boring.
On any given day, you’ll find ..read more

It should be no surprise that we're pretty big fans of puzzles.
After all, we love helping people solve stuff, whether that's getting to work on time, hauling groceries, or just finding ways to have more fun.
So when we discovered that today was National Puzzle Day, we couldn't resist making our own crossword puzzle — and since we have our RadExpand flash sale going on now, we figured it would be an awesome way to reintroduce riders to our fan-favorite electric folding bike.
Give it a shot! If you get stuck, there's an answer bank at the very bottom of the ..read more

Want to hear some exciting news? We’re lowering 2024 prices across our lineup of award-winning electric bikes!
From day one, our mission has been to create radical electric bikes that are built for everything, and priced for everyone.
That’s why Rad bikes have always been a great value when it comes to the quality and the perks (like free shipping, a one-year warranty, and a spot in North America’s largest ebike community — and that's just for starters!)
There have, however, been some global, industry-wide issues throughout the past few years that have occasionally required us to raise prices ..read more

With the new school year right around the corner, you’ve likely started loading up on the essentials. While #2 pencils and protractors are cool and all, there’s one item you should really add to that list: an electric bike!
We reached out to a few Rad riders to hear how an ebike has helped them ease back in to academia.
A Rad Grad and a Proud Dad
Rad dad Brian Mickelson is a RadRunner fanatic.
He bought one for himself during the height of the pandemic to help him get outside more, but quickly realized it was also a great way to get his kids to school—especially since it gave him an excu ..read more

When we released our new round of limited edition RadRunners, we didn’t want to just give our riders more color options — we wanted to double-down on safety.
That’s why we’ve equipped both the Pool Shark Blue RadRunner 2 and the Boss Moss Green RadRunner 3 Plus with RheoLight, a special coating designed to boost night visibility.
“With more folks riding electric bikes than ever before, safety has never been more important in the ebike industry,” Sarah Bruce Courtney, Rad’s director of Product Development, told the Scenic Route.
“Earlier this year, the entire product team aligned behind one, ma ..read more

Do you know what goes great with a cap and gown? A Rad electric bike.
Okay, so we’ll admit that a mortarboard makes it harder to strap on a helmet, but an electric bike is still the best possible gift for the Rad grad in your life. Not only is it a unique way to celebrate their achievements, but it also gives them a leg up as they embark on their next steps.
Here’s why:

Did you know that people who ride ebikes spend more time in the saddle than folks who ride traditional bikes?
It makes sense. When you have some power behind the pedals and a throttle at your fingertips, it’s easy to go for longer, more fulfilling trips.
Since you’ll be racking up all those miles, we wanted to share a few safety tips from our help center that can keep the ride going.
These in-depth guides have been put together by our team of experts, so please take the time to go through them. Whether you're a longtime Rad rider or gearing up to take your new ebike out for its first spin, the ..read more

With over half a million riders worldwide, it’s safe to say that the Rad Community has its fair share of pretty awesome moms.
And since Mother’s Day is right around the corner, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate them — and share some gift ideas that are a lot more exciting than the usual bouquet of flowers.
We’re running a special deal through 5/14/23 where you can get your mom a new set of wheels, plus two free accessories that’ll let them customize their ride for whatever it is they love to do.
It all starts with one simple question: what kind of Rad mom do you have?
