Hi so my bike is a bit different but uses the SAME battery! But for some reads on I don’t see any lights while it charges. It doesn’t seem to be charging :/
So in my video, I found, you have to turn the battery to the off position and then charge it. For me the light would show but it didn’t charge until I turned it off then charged it.
Hello, Thank you for posting this video. In your video, you mention that you roll the bike up a ramp to get it into your car. Would it be possible to let me know what kind of car you load your bike into? I am thinking of getting a RadMini this spring. I have a Hyundai Tucson which is a small SUV and have been wondering how easy it would be to get it into my vehicle. As you mentioned it is heavy and I am wondering whether I would be able to lift it into my Tucson (I will be turning 70 in a few months and don't have the strength I once had). Any information you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks, Errol
Hi Errol. First, I have to say my way is not the safest so I am not recommending it to anyone. But I have a Toyota highlander which is around the same size as the Tuscon, roughly. I can measure the standing height with the handlebar stem folded and get back to you though. And I will measure the clearance on my highlander 😀
@@motogirlz101 Hello again, First of all, thank you for your thoughtful reply to my query. I think that there would be enough room in my Tucson, the problem would be getting it up and into the vehicle. My curiosity was piqued when you mentioned that you rolled the bike up a ramp to get it into your Highlander. Anyway, since seeing your video, I came across a newly posted video, which is of great interest to me, and could possibly be of interest to you, if not now, perhaps in the future. I am including a link for you. th-cam.com/video/i751LqKoQnI/w-d-xo.html This video shows a bike rack that is hitch mounted and has an optional ramp which allows you to roll your bike into place (and it looks very safe to do as you will see in the video should you choose to watch it). Again, thank you for your help in this matter. Regards, Errol
I just got the Radmission 1 and it's impossible to remove the battery. They want me to be She-Ra or something. They seriously need to add a mechanism for removal because as it is, I'm going to have to lay the bike on its side and use my legs to push it out. I hate that these bikes are designed with only men in mind. I can curl 25lb dumbells, but I am not strong enough to remove this battery.
Thanks for watching and providing feedback. To remove the battery, you place your hand underneath it and the other hand on top and pull up very hard as there is a lot of resistance. I will be making a video of this next. Happy riding!
OK it’s me again sorry to bother you girls...please forgive but too (please) do not leave your battery in a cold, damp place, say below 38 degrees F you will “ruin it” ($500+bucks) and disable the BMS’s ability. Please go to Electric Bike Review.com for details. Court and his group of friends are a great resource. Join the community there and share ideas ask questions and get great answers. As to the RadMini it is robust and despite it’s burly character can be folded. Thus being made manageable where other bikes of it’s strength are impossible to take “almost anywhere”. Too keep in mind your bike will last you for many, many years. Giving you a life time of fun, pleasure and sunny or rainy day enjoyment. You have a unique and industry leading bike. You will get use to it and find in it a wonderful friendship. Ride safe!
I did not find this video helpful. I'm struggling to get the battery off of my new rad mission bike. I thought there would be a clear view of what you were doing, and there was not. There was a lot of shadow and I saw a lot of your courtyard and your cute little garden, but this video was less than helpful for me. Please look at your videos before you post them. This one is very frustrating.
If you want to see a video of how to actually remove the battery: th-cam.com/video/Tihc_FHwWoc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Just got the rad runner. How did you add the crate on the bike of your bike?
My bike came with a rear rack so I just used zip ties to secure it.

Just bought this bike today and am excited to try it when it arrives
Awesome. Let me know how you like it.
Very helpful. Thanks! Go Rad!

To charge the battery. I need to take battery out of frame. . ?
No. You can charge the battery in the frame. I just didn't have an outlet in my garage near the bike.
I leave my battery in ON all the time when charging. It won't charge with the display on, but it will charge right on the bike with it ON.
Gold?
I would’ve never figured that out
You are a God amongst mankind. Thank you🤣
how do you lock the battery in place i’m still confused?
Just got one and the instructions are not clear. Thanks 😊
You’re welcome. 👍🏽
On then off .then lock off so on. Again off on then on off then off off. Finally turn it off. Love it 🤣
I can’t get mine off to save my life! Haha
Did you get the battery out? You have to turn it to unlock and use two hands and yank it upwards really hard.

got my rad too.
cool vid
thanks:)
Warning: You’re gonna have some fun!
You should change the title of the video. You mainly talked about attaching the battery and definitely did not explain how to remove it.

I just got the Rad step thru. And I am haveing a battery charging issue .
I’ve pushed the key in and turned it to the proper spot but it won’t budge.
You have to pull up towards you really hard with two hands. And be careful not to slice your fingers.
U need a u lock
