RadMini as a commuter e-bike? Believe it! You still get the go-anywhere utility of a fat tire bike, but without the bulk. But with smaller 20″ wheels and the origami design, it just isn’t an issue on the RadMini. I’ve even heard of pilots keeping one in their light plane to have a convenient e-bike on hand once they land.įolding fat tire bikes solve the only main problem with fat tire bikes, that they tend to be so colossal. That means it fits great in a car trunk, backseat, or tucked in the corner of an RV. But with the typical folding bars and mid-frame hinge, it still becomes a nice compact package. No, this isn’t a Brompton, so it’s not going to fold down to something the size of a lunch box. Not only can it ride just about anywhere, but it folds so you can take it just about anywhere. Where the RadMini really shines is its sheer versatility. The steepest of hills benefit from a bit of pedal help, but throttle-only riding is zippy and powerful. Ride it harder and 30 miles (48 km) is reasonable. Go easy and you’ll break 40 miles (64 km) on pedal assist. Together, they offer plenty of power and range for most riders and most terrains. Like most of Rad’s lineup, you’re getting the standard 750 W rear hub motor and 624 Wh battery pack. You still get those wide tires, the front suspension, the 7-speed Shimano drivetrain, and pretty much everything else you’d expect on a Rad Power Bike.īut it comes wrapped in a more manageable package, especially for people like me who don’t have a lot of extra garage space (or any garage at all). If you’re familiar with Rad’s larger fat tire e-bike, the RadRover, then you can consider the RadMini to be a similar e-bike on a diet. Make sure to check out my video review of the RadMini below to see it action, and then keep reading for my full detailed review.
