The pedal-assist technology and on-demand throttle allows you to choose how much power you want or need, depending on how much or little of a workout you feel like putting yourself through. We even fit both our bikes in the back of our compact Crosstrek with plenty of room for backpacks and other gear. Setup takes about 30 seconds, if that, and the compact size allows us to pack up the bikes in any one of our vehicles.
RAD MINI FOLDED FULL SIZE
Full size fun with a tiny package when folded in half. It is a perfect electric bike companion for tiny house dwellers like us.
RAD MINI FOLDED PLUS
Being foldable is a HUGE plus when you live in a small space, the large Lithium-ion battery is packed with Samsung cells and supplies a 750W 48V power system to keep us riding for up to 45 miles on a single charge. The RadMini is a foldable electric bike with 4-inch fat tires that made it capable to go on sand, dirt, and snow, all while still being a comfortable road bike. Rad Power Bikes has many models but the one that stood out to us and fit our needs was the RadMini. After much hunting we happily came across Rad Power Bikes, which offered the best of both worlds. But even to store them at home would still be cumbersome. We travel and do road trips often so the ability to take them with us is a must.
The challenge with electric bikes, or so we thought, seemed to be the very expensive price point for not one but two bikes, then also still being large to store. We then debated about electric bikes versus conventional bikes. Plus, we could never shake the dorky feeling we felt when riding them. Those seemed like a fun option, but after testing them out several times and seeing how heavy a scooter is to carry and fold up and how quickly the battery dies, not evening mentioning the lack of exercise we would get, we realized quickly that an expensive foldable electric scooter wasn’t the best option for us. We even looked into and tested out a couple of foldable scooters. Space and storage would still be an issue which is why we held off on buying bikes again for a while. We looked into several options before reaching a conclusion. So our hunt for a nice quality bike for fun and for covering lots of ground and sightseeing started while traveling. That didn’t happen and biking wasn’t what we ended up enjoying for fitness, we preferred to stick to our gym routines for that.
Our previous bikes were very nice road bikes for which we planned to fully get into being diehard fitness bikers…. After several years of being in our tiny house and riding our friends’ bikes here and there, we knew we wanted to look into buying bikes again. We both had nice quality bikes and could sell them for much-needed funds for our build since every penny counts when building. But, since we weren’t avid bike riders, it was a sacrifice we knew we could make work temporarily. We’ve both always owned bikes and enjoy riding them for leisure.
