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.

This is the first generation of the RadMission, and I was loaned the standard high step and ST (step-thru) versions… the ST is actually more of a mid-step.

I got to see the van and interact with some of the Austin Texas and Vancouver Canada team members, and was impressed with this unique service that blends the predominantly online presence of Rad with a local shop feel! The company is also offering demo rides and post-purchase service, including warranty work.

Starting in 2020, customers in some major cities including Austin, Seattle, Sacramento, and Vancouver Canada can pay $149 to have Rad Mobile Service van deliver and assemble their bike.

I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the Rad Power Bikes electric bike forums. RPB also delivered the products to my apartment using their Rad Mobile delivery service van, making it efficient and easy to perform the reviews.

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.

The standard 672 watt hour packs do work with the RadMission!

Geared high with 50 tooth chainring and 16 tooth rear cog, designed for slow steady pedaling.

At 47.8lbs, it's heavier than other single speed ebikes I've reviewed, but also offers a higher weight rating of 275lbs and has a stronger front basket mount.

Sealed 14-pulse cadence sensor and variable speed twist throttle are intuitive and responsive. Both brakes have motor inhibitors to cut power instantly when stopping. The headlight offers 40 LUX and the rear light has solid, blinking, and bright mode when braking.

Reflective tires and Spanninga integrated lights improve safety.

Kenda Kontact puncture resistant tires, steel torque arm, stainless steel hardware, rust resistant chain, DNP freewheel sprocket, and sealed bottom bracket make the bike durable. An aluminum alloy chainring guide and chain tensioner reduces the potential for drops. Single speed drivetrain is quiet, durable, and simple to use.

Surprisingly powerful geared hub motor offers 50nm of torque.

Lots of attachment points for optional fenders, racks, baskets, bottles, and frame locks. Six color schemes let you personalize the bike and stand out, which is rare for cheaper electric bikes.
