Rad Power is a usually high rated e-bike.

My #DadRunner adventure is on hold.

The CSPC in the US have warned against using the batteries: https://www.cpsc.gov/Warnings/2026/CPSC-Warns-Consumers-to-Immediately-Stop-Using-Batteries-for-E-Bikes-from-Rad-Power-Bikes-Due-to-Fire-Hazard-Risk-of-Serious-Injury-or-Death

I've got 2 of these #ebikes I think I'll have to source aftermarket batteries instead (and I know there's no guarantee they'll be any safer)

I'm considering getting an e-bike, and the price on Rad Power bikes looks right (I also live near one of their in-person stores). Do they still have safety issues around their tires?

Loved taking my Rad City ST 3 grocery shopping today. Cars are so lame.
