I will be adding a lot more videos testing out the RadExpand 5, and having a blast doing it! Stay tuned if you're interested in this ebike.
*Works great, comfortable too*
My Rad 5 is a beast for bowhunting with the downtube. A new seat with a shock absorber is a must. Love my Rad 5 . How long would a battery last on E bikes ? Do they loose their power after a while? My second season with mine still fine. !!
E-bikes are such a gamechanger - especially in the city. I Hardly drive any more
Agreed. I ride mine everywhere!
Can expand5 2022 use 2024 expand5 plus brake lights (with signal) and vertical display?
THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this! Such a helpful and tranquil video.
Glad you liked it 😀
Chris your video's are the best, but I've watched so many E-bike video's I'm confused on what to get. First it was the Himiway escape, then it was the Lectric x Premium, now it's the RadExpand 5. Geez it would help if I could just ride all 3, but that's not an option, help me out.
Thanks, there are many to choose from. It's a blessing and can be frustrating.
I can't really tell you which will be best for you.
Just determine what kind of riding you'll be doing and pick the one that best suits that.
Hey Chris - Love your videos. I actually just bought an expand 5 and have been enjoying your views. Come to find out you’re down Bend, one of my absolute favorite places and somewhere I hope to be riding at soon. I’m here in the PNW also, just across the river from Portland in WA
Hi Chris! Great video, just purchased myself a Radextender 5 also. I do have a question. The throttle speed is just walking pace.. Why? I don't know how to get acces to the full potential of the thruttle speed. Did you adjust something? Thanks!
I’m 5’11 would this bike be ok for me? Thanks!! Great review
Hi Gregory, you should just fit it. Your legs may not get full extension if you have longer legs, but it's an ebike and doesn't have to fit completely perfect.
Great vid, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if the RadExpand would be able to support a pannier in the back rack? Having almost 55 lbs for back cargo it's great but it does look like the pedal might clash into it. Also, can you pls share how tall does the wheel end up being? from floor to fender I mean. Cheers!
Thank you! You can easily set panniers far enough back on the rear rack so that you don't hit them when pedalling. I'll do a video soon, showing how.
It's 23 inches from the floor to the fender.
@@PedalWithPower thanks so much for replying 🙏 look forward to that video!
@@PedalWithPower hey did you make the vid on the panniers? I saw one of your vids in which you have them in the back of the bike, but would love to know more about sizes it support and installing them. Thanks! 🔥
@@aldans I haven't yet, sorry. It's spring time at the bike shop and getting busy. I'll try to get that video up when I can. I have family coming into town this weekend, so it may be next week.
@@PedalWithPower No worries! I'm still waiting for my bike to arrive, grr! Thanks for replying :)
We just finished putting together our RadExpands. I noticed that you were shifting with right hand. I am at a loss on how or when to shift on the ebike. I have been riding regular bikes for number of years. I have tried to find information on how or when to use the shift and micro shift on ebikes - but no such luck. Could you perhaps suggest a link. Thank you. We enjoyed the video and look forward to one on the RadExpand
Thank Missy, I'm excited for your ebike journey! Here is a video I did about the Lectric XP 2.0 for shifting and my recommendations are the exact same for the Rad Expand. Just the shifter looks a little different, hope it helps!

@@PedalWithPower thank you I will watch it now!
@@missykay8346 If you have any questions just let me know. I'm happy to make another video featuring the Rad Expand 👍
Chris, I know both are different beasts with pros and cons, but how does the Expand 5 measure up to the XP 2.0?
I will be doing a series of tests to find out. I just got this one in.
I will definitely compare the two
Great content. Thanks
Thanks James, always appreciated 👍
there are no real videos on how to ride and use the gears or when to use them and how to tell for beginner ebike riders. can you make one
That's a great idea Laura! I will get it done as soon as I can, thanks 👍
Unfortunately the RadExpand 5 is a little misleading. In Canada you can only get 500 watt motor not 700 like you claim. I wish you point this out. All Rad bike in Canada is only 500 watt motor not 700 watt
Why does their website ( EU) state the hub motor is 250w . Is it modified for Eu ?
It very well could be, due to the European regulations. I don't know for sure
something is wrong with my RadExpand(5) it rides very slow
I’m 6’ tall, is it going to be too small for me?
Potentially, it depends more on your leg length. I have a fix for that though -- th-cam.com/video/ZjfusaB2YuM/w-d-xo.html
It's a Class 2.
Yes, out of the box. I'll have a video up soon on how you can make it almost a class 3.
How long did the delivery take?
I live in Oregon and the bike was in stock. I received it in less than a week. About 5 business days.
Rad Power Bikes has a good delivery estimator on there site. Here's the link -- radpowerbikes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000583293-Shipping-Details
No front suspension. Too bad.
No, just a rigid fork. Trying to cut costs, is my guess.
Sad that Rad had to make you assemble their bike while Aventon Step by it Sinch is all assembled.in the box.
Yeah Harry, the Lectric XP 2.0 was fully assembled, but I don't mind some assembly. It was pretty simple
this bicycle is $50 CAD more than rad mini , I cannot put my finger on it why. Rad mini has lcd display , a suspension fork , and this has neither. This should be atleast $300 less than rad mini
Inflation. Bikes have gone way up in price over the last coule years
@@PedalWithPower I just checked Rad's canadian website . Rad mini is $1599 cad and radexpand is $1849 cad . This is beyond me why is better equipped bicycle cheaper than the bicycle that has only basic features.
@@savemankind738 hard downgrade
Instructions are awful
