Detour down to the river before today’s grocery run. Still in a drought. Probably continue whiplash precipitation pattern and get a pile of snow in February. #BikeTooter #minnesota #climatechange #radmission

Expanded storage on the winter grocery getter. The pannier from Rad clips easily on crate. Though too much weight on the back makes it a bit squirrelly. #BikeTooter #winterbiking #radmission
I lived! Had to raise the acoustic's seat post, might want to replace the seat, it probably needs longer cranks. But it's ridable.
Now to figure out why my #RadMission is dead.
Welp, my #RadPower #RadMission isn't powering on. Time to get out the zip-tie cutters, unplug all the cables, plug it all back in, and see if that fixes anything. Ugh.
Guess I'm taking the bus today.
The funny part was, I never even ended up using those #tires, either set. I bought the Pirellis first, but then I got nervous and ordered the studded Schwalbes, because we get heavy snow, here. We also have good road clearing, and I’m work from home, now, so I can just avoid going out in the snow on my #bicycle until the roads are clear. This year, I think i will put the Pirellis on, just to feel better about it. I think the stock tires are Kendas? Whatever #RadPowerBikes put on the #RadMission.
Hey folks! If you're one of the many, many people that snagged a discount #RadMission last year, they're still selling the spare batteries for ~60% off ($200). I just ordered one last night myself.
Well, 4-5” of fluffy snow plus whatever the plow throws on the bike path is too much for a #Radmission with studded tires that are only half fat. Had to make return trip on road. Sidewalk cleaning at this point is only intermittent of course. But city streets have had two passes with plows. Truly #carbrained in #rochmn . #wintercycling #minnesota #CarsRuinCities
Because I am a ridiculous person, I biked clear across town and back (Somerville - Roslindale) on the coldest day of the year. Yes I could have just taken the T. And yes I still stopped for this shot. #BikeTooter #RadMission #EBike
We're going to new lengths in #bike cargo today: a mailbox post precariously attached to my #RadMission rear rack. #bikethere #cargobikelife
@tylrfishr I got a RadPower #RadMission when they were on sale. Discontinued now, but a front basket and a rear rack and some $30 panniers have basically replaced my car for groceries, in Columbus. Cleveland hopefully has better bike infrastructure?
#RadMission riders, what studded #tires do you use for winter riding? #BikeTooter #bike
These winter tires darn near make my #radmission into a fat tire bike. Maybe should have gone with something different. They ride nice though. #wintercycling #BikeTooter #studdedtires #minnesota (gas is for snowblower. I usually just shovel but every now and then…)
#RadPowerBikes dumped their inventory of their cheapest ebike, the hybrid style #RadMission and removed it from their NA shop (it's currently €849 on the EU site, which is a bit of a bargain)
Electrek asks what's next in the Rad lineup?
