![]() As for hauling cargo, the rear rack holds 40 pounds. For your rough road adventures, the four inch wide tires and 750W geared hub motor will power you across just about any terrain. “For anyone with a smaller than average living/working/storage arrangement, the RadMini folds up small for storage. It fits in the trunk of my car and is dependable.” - Robert Strausas It’s not so mini! Great value and a beautiful beast.” - Bryan Kabahar In an attempt to capture this sense of adventure, Rad Power Bikes developed the RadMini, an electric folding fat tire bike.” - HiConsumption “Having the ability to explore wherever you want at any time you choose is a wonderful freedom. I was sold the moment my foot hit the pedal. It’s a quality product that makes moving through the city pure joy. When space is limited but you need a workhorse, the RadMini is your go-to choice! With front and rear accessories, the RadMini can convert into one of the most unique cargo bikes you’ll ever see. The 4" wide fat tires make for an incredibly smooth ride on gravel trails and paved roads alike, and the 750W geared hub motor packs a punch just like a full sized electric bike. The RadMini has the ability to take on many tasks you would not expect from a folding bike. So, we combined proven features of the RadRover (all-terrain) with the RadWagon (cargo capacity) and folded into one ebike, literally. You couldn’t find a fat tire bike with the ability to haul cargo and fold. Let the accessorizing begin! I am finding that to be almost as much fun as researching and buying a bike.We built the RadMini because nothing like it existed at the time. They both keep the road grime off our bikes and our bodies.Ĭongratulations on your new bike. My bike has plastic fenders and my wife's bike has metal fenders. I have ordered the expanded platform from Rad hoping I can adapt it to my rack to help balance the load. Occasionally, I need to carry up to 80 lbs on my rear rack. I looked at some after market racks with higher weight limits, but I do not remember the brand. I believe it was standard on the 2018, but it only has a 45 lb weight limit. One of the reasons I did not buy the Rad was the rear rack. I have ordered a couple of helmet mirrors to try. Anything protruding from my handlebar grips is likely to get knocked off by a tree or a bush. I am stuck with the tires because I really need the aggressive tread on some of my rides. My rear tire developed a slow leak almost immediately, but I slimed both tires and they have held up fine so far. Inflating to max PSI helps, but they are still annoyingly loud. The Kenda tires are very loud, especially on asphalt, and the faster I go, the louder they get. ![]() There is a reason they call these bikes "hard tails". I put one on my bike last week and it makes a world of difference. It is a very comfortable saddle, but you were wise in ordering the Suntour suspension seat post. I do not have a Rad, but my bike came with the Cloud 9 Cruiser Select 10.5" x 10.75". Anybody like fenders from other manufacturers? I decided against the Rad fenders for now. Has anyone replaced those, at least on the front wheel, with quick release axles? Sources? Any reason not to? Any recommendations?įrom the photos, it looks like the Mini's wheels use nuts instead of quick release axles. I have read positive reviews on Topeak racks. The rear racks from Rad are out of stock. The mirrors that are on a long, flexible arm look OK but I wonder if they don't shake like crazy. On my Brompton I have a mirror that screws into the end of the handlebars, but that interferes with folding. Looks like the Cloud Nine gets good reviews but I found many models. For the seat, I want a LaZBoy, not a prostate exam. I ordered the Suntour seat post from Rad so that should help. I am also looking for a good, comfortable seat. My Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on the Brompton never let me down! Is there a durable tire for the Mini? I will be riding on streets and mulch and gravel groomed trails. I don't need mud tires or really aggressive tread. I have been looking into tire replacements without much luck. I wonder if others could recommend accessories relevant to the Mini along with links? Not a ton of information out there and some of it seems dated. I have been reading about accessories and modifications.
