      Awful customer service, and poor quality bike. After only weeks of owning Rad 2 the throttle no longer worked. It was a $25 piece that I had to order and it has been 3 weeks and still have not received the repair. Buyer beware. Do not purchase this junk!

      No customer service. They claim to have shipped a bike but the shipper is holding it hostage for a delivery appointment but won't take or return my calls. RAD chat says keep calling. Looks like I've spent $1500 to be given the run-around and I don't have a bike. RAD cannot help now that the bike has supposedly shipped. Hope RAD is ready for a charge back.

      Customer support after the sale is poor. First, my brand new bike needed about $75 worth of adjustments at my local bike shop out of the box. Second, 3 of the 4 bike shops listed as shops that would support repairs said they no longer do. Third, I ordered a rear view mirror for my bike and did not like it but when I went to return they said it was not eligible for return. This is very unfortunate because I do like the bike but support after the sale is really bad. I would recommend people look at other options before buying this bike.

      Shipped a broken accessory. Spent over $500 on accessories. Any attempt to call listed number (800-***-0310) to try to replace broken part, line hangs up. Multiple emails have been sent over the last 3 weeks to listed email address with no response. Only option available is to return item for $10 shipping fee PLUS 30% re-stocking fee. Not only will they not replace the broken item they sent to me, they would like to charge me for it.

      Serious customer service issues, as in it does not exist. The phone line is never turned on so you can not call them, the online chat does not work, they never respond to the open chats, you can wait all day, nothing happens. The email they will respond to but it takes about 2 weeks FOR EACH AND EVERY REPLY. They just sell bikes and don't care what happens after that. ****** rad power bike reviews and you will see they have a serious problem.

      When I ordered the bike online I realize I ordered the wrong Rad model. I tried to contact customer service multiple times thru phone, Email, Text even ******** with in 24 hours of ordering to see if I could change models. I did not receive a return response for three weeks. Because of the terrible communication I decided to just return the bike and not exchange it for the different model. So I requested a return and again I had no response from your company. Then I drove the brand new never opened bike two hours from were I live to the Rad bike store in ************* ** to return it. They took the bike from me. They gave me no return paperwork and said it would take a week to process the return. Then another three weeks after I returned the bike I still had not received my return. So again after multiple attempts to contact customers service with no success. I finally received and refund of $1000. which was $500 less than what I paid for the bike. After the terrible communication and your terrible return policy I will never do business with ***.

      Dear ****, 

      We sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience you had with our customer support and return process. We understand the importance of clear and timely communication, and we deeply regret any miscommunications that occurred during this process.

      Upon reviewing your case, we acknowledge that there were significant delays in responding to your inquiries and processing the return. This was certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we truly apologize for any inconvenience it caused you.

      We have thoroughly investigated the matter and have taken steps to address the issues in our communication and return procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

      To make things right, we have issued a refund in the amount of $467.22, which is the difference between the original purchase price and the refund you received. This amount represents the full value you paid for the bike.

      Once again, we apologize for the disappointment and frustration you experienced throughout this process. We value our customers and their satisfaction, and we are committed to improving our services to ensure a more positive experience for all.

      If there is anything else we can do to assist you or if you have any further concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We hope you will reconsider and give us another opportunity to serve you in the future.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention and allowing us the chance to rectify the situation.

      Do not buy. First, for the year I've owned this bike, it has worked properly for six months. Seconds they discontinued customer service. They absolutely refuse to speak on the phone and instead send 16 page emails of instructions about how YOU are to fix your e-bike. Ridiculous. Do not buy. There are other e-bikes on the market.

      The bike was great until it wasnt. There is not such thing as service from Rad Power. I bought a Rad Rover 6 Plus last year, and have ridden it lightly. While putting it away one day I noticed it wouldnt roll backward. Opened a ticket on 5/28. They waited 5 days before responding via e-mail, then closed the ticket as resolved a few days later (one way to close tickets fast and improve the service metrics). My bike started rolling backward when I tried to videotape the diagnostics they requested before closing the ticket, so I began riding again. It then stranded me miles from home. Wouldnt roll backward, and I now noticed that even thought the battery was charged it wouldnt power the motor. Did the diagnostics originally requested and opened a new ticket on 6/26. it is now 7/6 and no e-mail reply, evidently there will never be a human or a returned call, and my bike is useless to me. Ive tried calling their local service partner *******, who report that there is nothing they can do for me because they will have to get the parts from Rad. A bike that used to work is of no use to me. I need service, and these guys are evidently not interested in anything beyond selling bikes. I still get email from them trying to sell me more bikes and accessories. I understand that businesses can get busy, but this thing has been broken for 5 or 6 weeks and there is zero indication that anyone at Rad cares, and their service partners evidently dont either. *** spent hours trying to get help.

      Brand new Bike doesnt work. Took 5 days for them to supposedly order a part that I have zero shipping information on. Getting contact to a person is impossible. For an item this expensive they need to do better. Definitely wont do further business with this company. If they took care of their customers I would be understanding, but nothing gets done customer service wise.

      Hey Rad... Take a look around... notice how many upset customers there are showing up to mention how HORRIBLE your customer service is? Its nearly unbearable. I love my bike but I 100% HATE your customer service so much so that I actively tell all of my friends and family to never purchase a bike from you all. I will never again buy any bike, part, upgrade from you ever again. Id rather walk. I have a simple question about a order and confirmation and yet.... its impossible to make contact with RAD, Im not even mad anymore, like a bad relationship I just want you out of my life. Id rather move on to another ebike company... yall think youre the best??? Yall are a joke to us consumers. Id tell you to get it together but.... you are not listening.
