Recently the controller on this bike has been found faulty. Seems consistent with other so-so components.

Hi, can 2 qibbles fit on the abound?

Beware - Ride1Up has really poor product support. Installation manual for the Roadster 2 Gravel was for the wrong bike, online videos also for the wrong bike, and after 5 months of mild riding both brakes are terrible. I contacted them, they said they don't cover normal wear and tear (5 months!) and then sent me a link to Amazon to buy new brake pads. Not exactly the support I was hoping to receive. Very disappointed.

Can I buy a used battery and a charger for the co-op

How much would a new battery and charger cost me

Thanks for this review, very helpful

You really didn't give enough info ,

This was a very informative and entertaining review. The cliff ride was amazing, and very scary. It is good to hear an honest assessment of the challenges of the folding feature. I have this bike and seldom remove the key as it is always a struggle to get it back in. I just lock up the bike and and turn the battery off.

Was the video filmed in Carpinteria? Best camp ground

I purchased the Troxus Explorer a week ago. Their customer service is non-existent which in my view is a huge problem. I emailed their support team a week ago asking them to please send me a PDF Version of the Troxus Explorer instruction manual, and despite following up with them again 2 days ago, I have heard absolutely nothing back from them. They have generic Troxus e-bike manuals that you can download off their website, but nothing specific to the model that I bought and which explains how to operate and change settings of the LCD display on the bike etc. There was also a problem with the motor on my bike that happened the same day I bought it. I took the bike back to the dealer I purchased it from and who kindly swopped out the faulty component of the motor with a part from a new motor that he had in stock. I would exercise caution with a company who can’t respond to very simple requests such as this, and based on my experience so far I hope I never have to go through a warranty claim process with them! I am already starting to regret purchasing the Troxus…….

My Radcity 3 best for the money IMO

Too heavy

I’m trying to decide between the Abound and Xpeition. I live in a hilly area. My wife has the Xpedition. Tough choice. I know if I had a higher budget I’d choose the Murf Alpha Cargo.

Great informative video my man, just subbed!!

The times they are a changing… I am a 73 year old guy who’s been riding unpowered Bianchi street bikes for decades, always on paved bike trails - which are extensive in my area - and on the low traffic, residential back streets of a small city. My peloton racing is far in the past, but I still like to go exploring the town on two wheels… in good weather. I just bought my first battery electric bike, a RadCity 5 Plus “High Step”, to keep out on the road as my strength and stamina diminishes with age. I don’t feel the need for anything really gnarly at this stage of my life, and Rad is now liquidating the remaining 5 Plus bikes for under $1000. At that price, it is definitely a good e-bike choice in August 2024!

cant you buy a suspension fork ?

I purchased mine a year ago ,strong battery,good top speed,a little heavy at times,tires are a little noisy on the street,I purchased the seat post and well worth it ,I am sorry but both front and back brake discs cracked it did really help adding a better quality disc anyway. I have 2023 in avg shape,900.00 it's yours by sat pm ....

Inferior quality, lack of service and refusal of warranty service at RAD POWER BIKES Hello everyone, on my own behalf and in the interest of everyone who is thinking about buying a bicycle from the RAD POWER BIKES brand. Here are my unpleasant experiences with the manufacturer: The electronics on my Pedelec bike Rhino 6 Plus stopped working after 13 months, despite careful treatment. The company then successively sent me various spare parts, some of which I even had to pay for. After I spent a lot of time on over two dozen emails and unsuccessful repair attempts, the company refuses to honor its warranty obligations. As a last attempt at a solution, I took the bike to an ebike workshop. The workshop asked Rad Power Bikes for information to determine the cause. However, Rad Power Bikes did not respond to the repair shop's emails. Without e-assistance the bike is useless. €2000 wasted. Clear warning, stay away from it.

Wishing I could still find this in stock at any REI... even hard to find a used one for sale. I'd love to hear more about the handling while towing the trailer (and how that compares to riding with no trailer).

I would disagree with most of your comments. It’s a very comfortable bike with a nice smooth delivery and a right had throttle grip. My wife and Grandkids can ride it. I love the semi integrated battery…it keeps the frame sleek and not so bulky and the battery is much easier to take out.

Why u don’t say anything about it wobbly crappy review how much they pay u, shottfyyy bike the frame to weak it wobble

Green color is fire ! 💯

I have the other first version of this bike and I love it. Besides the positives you mentioned, I really like that it has a torque pedal assist system rather than a cadence system. When I was testing lots of different ebikes I felt like the bikes with a cadence system felt like they jumped ahead. Specifically, when turning the bikes with cadence would speed right up again in the middle of the turn when I wanted to still be navigating the turn slowly. Bikes with the torque system would stay slow until I pressed the pedals harder for speed. The first torque system seems much safer to me and this bike was at least $500 cheaper than other bikes with torque and that doesn't include the perks of getting it at REI where I'm a member.

Thank you for the detailed review and my wife and I are really considering getting two. Does this gift promo work for Canada?

I live in Scotland. I bought this bike to ride in the summer. It reached me in August. It arrived faulty. It was giving a system error. It took 1 month to reach me by email, to find a solution and for the spare part to come to me. Friends, the product was never used and its box was broken. Despite this, they did not accept a return. Then I was able to use the bike for the last month and a half. This time it started to have a pedal support problem and it took 2 months to solve this problem. Since they do not have a service here, you pay extra money from your own pocket to have the product part installed. Then it gave the same error again. We emailed exactly 3 times because of the same error, while I was talking about sending spare parts etc. I generally used the bike without pedal support. It was a good sport for me, thanks Rad Power 😀 Now there is a pedal support problem again, sometimes the pedal supports, sometimes it does not. Since the company has withdrawn from Europe, it is now more difficult to email, we have been emailing for 2 and a half months and we still cannot find a solution. Even though summer is over here, I still cannot use my bike. I want to sell it but no one buys it. It is completely garbage. Give your money to a homeless person instead of buying this bike.

Honestly though… he ain’t lying.

Had this exact bike for 3 years and I LOVVVVE IT

if you don't know how to fix your bike, no local bike shop will fix this bike. they don't tell you that when you buy the bike so my bike sits in the garage collecting dust

Do you have information on how to connect the kids trailer?

Excellent review. Thank you!

Nice review but In the future you should try not to just keep repeating yourself over and over and over.

Who rides with their controls up in the air

Just purchased on June 20th, 2024, I worked for 2 days and have stopped working, Customer Support has not been helpful, and has been unresponsive. They thought it was the controller, ordered it, on July 6th, and as of July 9th it has not been sent out yet. And I have to take the bike apart and fix it. I called a service center (the closest was 2 hours away) and they felt it was the motor. They have not been helpful, as it is so big, I can't transport it and would have to hire a van and drive 2 hours each way to get it to a service center. So, if anything goes wrong with the bike as in my situation, and you're not close to a service center nor have a vehicle large enough to transport this bike, as of the date of this writing, you are screwed. And good luck speaking with someone with authority to make decisions.

I love this bike, it does 40-50 miles depending on gear and assist level. Mine goes uphill really good on a steep overpass at level 3 assist at 17 mph, I didn’t want to attempt that steepness but had to find out if it can and it did. The kick stand is great in my experience and I really like it. My only con on this bike is the Alan key wheel release vs the quick release like on my MTB and road bike, but that’s only because I prefer to transport it inside my suv with the front wheel off for space so it can stand vs laying down. Great video. I was worried since they were discontinuing it I asked REI and their customer service said if we ever need a battery replacement or extra battery we can purchase it from bafang website.

Thanks, can you do a top 600 accessories video

Abound is $2000 base now. No thanks. Lectric Xpedition is a better option at 1699 or 1399 single battery.

Is it a class 2 or a class 3 ?

You didn’t say anything about range can I make 19 miles one way to work on this battery and then 19 miles back home on throttle only ?

Would you choose that over Eupre Sellar Fallcon ?

Thx, what are the kid seats you bought? I have two kids (5,2) and looking for seats that will fit both.

What brand of helmet you are wearing?

I am a big fan of this bike. I love mine. Have had it for 2 years.

Please dont put children on these things. Automobile traffic just too dangerous. You're risking their lives.

If you think you can find better ebikes with high level components for less than $1899, you had better let us hear about it. ps. criticizing a step through frame for not being as rigid as a diamond frame is a lame slap in the helmet.

I like the bike

Where is the torque sensor located on the Aventure 2?

I sent Freedare $1299 for the Saiga bike but have not received any notification for tracking or eta. I have emailed numerous times with no response even though they say will respond in two days. I’m asking for a status report. Do you have any contact information to get them to respond and deliver the bike I have paid them for. David Mitchell

If I was getting a cargo bike, I’d take a long look at the Globe Haul ST (or LT). Yes, they are about a grand more, but it looks like very versatile and capable bikes. Thanks for giving your review of these three.

How tall are you? I am 6'1" and curious if it'll be a comfortable right at my height.

Please do a video talking about trailers on the abound and attaching them to it
