Rad Power bikes stops selling e-bikes in UK
Cycle Sprog is a reader-supported website. When you buy through links on this page we may earn an affiliate commission.
Fat-tyre e-bikes by US based company Rad Power will no longer be available to buy in the UK by 2024.
This news caught our eye here at Cycle Sprog HQ, because Rad Power Bikes offer one of the few budget options for electric cargo bikes - the Radwagon.
Budget longtail cargo bike
The Radwagon is a longtail cargo bike which can carry two kids on the longer rear rack.
Alongside the Mycle Cargo, the Radwagon 4 is currently the cheapest electric cargo bike available in the UK.
Radwagon and accessories on sale
Not suprisingly, Rad Power Bikes is currently having a sale in the UK and the Radwagon 4 is currently on sale for £1,299. The original price was £1,999, so this is a whopping £700 saving.
Accessories for the Radwagon 4 are also on sale at the moment, with the caboose on offer for £65 instead of £130 and the rain cover for £78 instead of £260.
What about Rad Power Bikes warranty and replacement parts?
Rad Power Bikes can only be bought online and there are a couple of service partners in the UK including in Bath and London.
Some customers and potential customers have expressed their concerns about replacement parts and warranty claims. We asked Rad Power Bikes to comment:
"Spare parts will be available for years to come on our website. Our 2 year warranty and customer service will also continue with the help of our service partners and the US customer support team.
We have a detailed announcement on this topic on our website: https://radpowerbikes.eu/pages/286678749"

Keep the school run rolling this term
Term is well underway, routines are settling in, and that makes now a good moment to build cycling into everyday life, not just at the start of term but for the weeks ahead.
If you've been meaning to try cycling to school, there's still no pressure to do it every day: even once a week is a great way to build confidence and get everyone comfortable on their bikes.
The mornings are noticeably cooler now, and the evenings are drawing in too, so it's worth thinking about layers, lights and waterproof bits sooner rather than later. A little planning helps: finding routes that avoid the worst of the traffic, and building in a bit of extra time while everyone gets used to riding in the dimmer light.
Whether it's the ride to the school gates, a weekend trail or just a spin round the block, every journey this term is a chance to build confidence, stay active and make cycling part of family life. Half term is coming up too, a great excuse for a longer ride together.
Explore our guides for getting kitted out for cooler days, route planning and tips to help your family cycle to school with confidence this term.
