In this video I’m talking about Rad Power Bikes declaring bankruptcy, and yeah… it’s a somber one. I’ve been saying for a while the warning signs were there—months back we started hearing the rumblings, and even earlier you could see them pulling out of certain markets. When a big name like Rad hits a wall, it doesn’t just affect Rad owners—it shakes confidence across the whole e-bike space. I break down what this could mean if you’re a current Rad customer, if you’ve been thinking about buying one, or if you’re sitting on the fence waiting for deals. The big takeaways are pretty simple: support and warranty coverage become the biggest question marks, parts availability can get weird fast, and resale value can take a hit. I also talk about how this impacts the broader e-bike industry and why I still think buying right—doing your homework on support, parts, and company stability—matters just as much as motor watts and battery size.
