I wish that more ebike companies did this, but it required a special part to do right and I wonder if it will still work perfectly if you get their optional LCD display as an upgrade? In any case, I love where the light is mounted on this ebike more than any of their other models, which have it lower down on the arch of the fork. This is awesome because it elevates the position of the light, making you easier to see by cars and other cyclists. In its default location, the headlight mounts to the stem (the piece which holds the handlebar).It will be fixed inline with the bike frame because of how the basket mounts. However, the headlight will no longer point where you steer. I really appreciate that the front and rear racks come with extension cables and alternative mounting points for the lights, because this means they won’t get blocked by cargo.I got to test the bike with fenders and racks added, and even then it was very quiet when riding across grass and off of a curb. Since it’s a single speed, the chain stays tight and won’t clink into the chain stay… and they used a chain tensioner and aluminum alloy guide to keep the chain from falling off if you ride over bumpy terrain. There are no fenders, racks, or even a kickstand that could rattle loose or bounce around. This ebike is super quiet, aside from some motor whirring noises.They also have great phone support and one of the bigger teams.
This, paired with their modular systems, cross compatible accessories, and one year warranty, puts them ahead of many other direct-online ebike brands. If you’re not in one of those cities, they recently began selling through mobile delivery vans in major cities like Austin Texas and Sacramento California. However, they also sell through a couple of in-person stores in Vancouver, Canada and Seattle, Washington.
For $1,199k USD, I was amazed that they could sell it in two frame styles and sizes (high-step large 20.25″ and mid-step medium 18″). RadMission is the lightest, most affordable electric bike from Rad Power Bikes to date.It’s a single-speed ebike, like their RadRunner, so the drivetrain is very simple, quiet, and clean. It does come stock with reflective tires and integrated lights. This is the cheapest ebike from Rad Power Bikes and is very stripped down… it doesn’t even include a kickstand! However, they do sell a kickstand for $15, along with fenders, racks, suspension seat post, bags, and other accessories.
These bikes are using a brand new proprietary geared hub motor, lower capacity 504 watt hour battery pack (that interfaces the same way as the other Rad batteries and is cross compatible), and the simpler LED display panel also used on the RadRunner.

I often perform free reviews if a bike is shared before launch or if I feel that it’s especially important and likely to be popular. The review was performed free of charge but Rad Power Bikes is an advertiser on this website. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased with you, this video and writeup are not meant to be an endorsement of RPB products.
