Hi, I just received my first ebike, RadRunner1, I would like to replace the LED display to an LCD display. The upgrade LCD they sell at Radpowerbikes.ca is $130+tax+shipping which is around $160. I"ve checked aliexpress and they sell a whole bunch of LCD displays for cheaper. Anyone know the model of the controller on the Radrunner1 (Canadian version)? Thanks

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
My roommate and friend Dagny Daniel was in the market for an electric bike, and when she saw Rad Power Bikes was selling their entry-level e-bike for a $500 ($700 lower than its usual price), she jumped at the opportunity to buy it. When the bike came, Dagny put it together and charged it up, excited to hit the bike path.
But she’d only had it for a few days when the honeymoon period ended. Dagny and I were riding with a group of other people on bikes deep in the north Portland peninsula this past weekend when all the sudden, the lights on her bike turned off and the pedal-assist stopped working. (No, it wasn’t dead.) Eventually, we got it going again, but only briefly before it puttered out once more and she had to ride to back without any electric assistance or lights. Right now, the bike is sitting in our basement waiting for someone to figure out what went wrong and get it back in commission.
Dagny isn’t the only person who just bought a Rad Power bike. The e-bike company’s recent sale was very popular – turns out, $500 e-bikes sell like hotcakes. On my own Twitter feed, I heard dozens of accounts of people buying their first electric bikes because of this sale. One particularly exciting anecdote was from someone who said that the person who delivered their bike was so inspired by all the boxes of bikes he was delivering that he decided to get one for himself.
Some e-bike advocates saw the success of this sale as an indication that there’s a demand for electric bikes that should be met with more rebate programs. The popularity of such programs in places like Colorado has shown that people are interested in buying e-bikes at reduced rates and once they have the bikes, they often become game-changers for reducing their car use.
But Dagny’s experience made me wonder if there are more people who have had trouble with their new Rad Power bikes and how local bike shops are dealing with it.
Rad Power is based out of Seattle, and they have brick-and-mortar service centers in some other cities in the United States and Canada (but not in Portland). They used to operate a mobile repair service in some other cities, including Portland, so people could get help directly from Rad Power, but they cancelled that program a few months before the big sale. (According to Rad Power’s website, local mobile bike repair service Velofix is still available to help.) This has left some bike shops in a lurch.
Employees at the The eBike Store in the Piedmont Neighborhood express skepticism about direct-to-consumer electric bike companies like Rad Power. Andrew Schnell, a sales employee at the bike shop, says he thinks they’ve been able to hone in on an important market of people who want functional, non-luxury electric bikes at an affordable price.
The least expensive bike sold at the eBike store is $2500 – twice as much as what the RadMission usually costs, and five times as much as its sale price. Schnell said he thinks it’s worth the cost for a better quality bike that you can get serviced locally, but he understands why people are hesitant to pay that much for a bike.
Schnell said he has had trouble getting ahold of people from Rad Power when he has questions about their bikes, so the shop is limited in what it can do to help people who run into problems with them. This has meant some angry customers leaving one-star Yelp reviews for the eBike Store, which never claimed to be a Rad Power retailer or service shop in the first place.
There are several stores in Portland that Rad Power owners have said will service their bikes. Rad Power’s website lists the Bikeologist Mobile Bicycle Repair and Upcycles as options for people who want to get help in-person. But part replacements for Rad Power bikes are hard to come by right now because of all the demand.
Thankfully, experiences like Dagny’s seem rare. When I tweeted asking for people’s experiences with their new Rad Power bikes, I received overwhelmingly positive reports, and most people writing reviews online are very pleased with their purchase. (And by the way, Dagny isn’t giving up on her bike – she’ll get back on the seat as soon as she can, but it might take some time to find someone who can help.)
Schnell acknowledges that his exposure to the bikes is more likely to be negative because people are coming to the bike shop with their grievances. But his overall takeaway is that because this industry is fairly new, there are going to be some kinks to work out as e-bikes stake their place as a popular mode of transportation.

Very great e.bike. portable and speedy. The battery last for many hours before is discharged. I strongly recommend this bike for people who think of buying an e.bike for their transportation.
I ordered my controller for my e-bike 17 days ago it still hasn"t come I"m starting to think it isn"t going to cuz it still doesn"t even have a tracking number
About an hour to assemble. Took a few hours to initially charge battery to full mode. Winter here so did a brief test ride in residential development. Very smooth and quiet/ signficant power. Quickly up to 20 MPH on setting 5. Pedal assist during electric mode also works well. I liked the test run so much I ordered a second SEAGULL for wife. Hydraulic brakes work great. Waiting for rear rack to become back in stock to order 2.
I ordered my husband this bike to go back and forth to work. I ordered from Walmart and when I received the bike, there was an issue. The bike wasn’t working so I tried to contact Walmart (surprise surprise, they weren’t helpful) BUT I contacted the company directly and they immediately helped! First off their response time was fast! Then they just requested a video to show what was going on and they quickly mailed out a replacement for the part causing an issue. And it works perfectly! Thank you so much for your speedy help! Specially since it was for the holidays!
Just to let everybody know the Fat tire bike is great! Very well built bike. Brakes motor and battery all work great together. Just added fenders and rear rack. Rear fender could use some support. Gonna attach it my rear rack. That should take care of the issue. Wish the seat sat lower but I can replace the post to make that happen. Tested the bike out twice now. Everything run’s just fine. I would buy another one. Great price right now!
This bike is like NO OTHER. The frame in my opinion is top of the line, well built super sturdy. Quality Tektro disc brakes that come already adjusted. 2.35 inch tires that take this baby over there top. Makes it look like a real animal!! It"s a very quiet motor, but powerful. The pedal assist is smooth as it doesn"t feel forced and the throttle responds perfectly. Overall BUY THIS BIKE, one of my best purchases to date.
I really like the 5 levels of power when peddling if there were one more higher gear for level 4 that would be good but all in all my third one and I like it
