10 Reasons to Buy the RadMission High Step

  • The RadMission High Step is an affordable ebike that is engineered like one well above its price point.
  • At 48 pounds, the RadMission is light enough to carry when necessary. 
  • The battery on the RadMission High-Step can be locked and removed, both for security and for easier charging. 
  • WIth a single-speed drivetrain, bike maintenance is minimal. 
  • The RadMission is an incredibly quiet bike - no clinking chain, rattling racks, or noisy fenders. 
  • This ebike includes a 40-lux headlight.
  • Some buyers, depending on location, can pay an extra fee for home delivery and pre-assembly. 
  • The integrated tail light has a brake light indicator. When you brake, the rear light will turn on if the lights are off, or it will glow brighter if the lights are on. 
  • With the twist-grip throttle, you have complete control over how much power you use. 
  • The 12-gauge spokes on both wheels offer greater weight support. The RadMission can carry up to 275 pounds. 

3 Reasons Not to Buy the RadMission High Step

  • The RadMission doesn't come with a kickstand. Three variations of the RadMission kickstand have to be purchased separately from Rad Power Bikes.
  • Without suspension, riding the RadMission on rough terrain can be pretty uncomfortable. 
  • The RadMission is fitted with a simple LED display that turns the bike on and off, controls the lights, and controls the levels of pedal assist.
