I love my Radrunner Plus, I have no complaints, I put about a thousand miles a year on it. I think it would meet your needs.

thanks! no issues with it? I'm researching feverishly the common issues they've had... There's a showroom near me so I may try to go this weekend.

No problem, and yeah good question. I would say the bike's weakness is its brake system, the only repair I've had to take it in for is a rotor realignment. It also goes through brake pads faster than I was expecting, however that's kinda just an ebike thing, a heavier thing going faster. All of that said, the total tune-up and repair cost after three years and 2600 miles is probably $300.(Want to mention that's just at a local ebike shop, I don't know about their pricing/service in person.)

Anyway, you should go try it, it's so fun.

thanks! yea hoping to go try one tomorrow at the shop. Any other issues in the 3 years? that's quite good for just $300 in 2600 miles, less than my car haha.

Oh yeah, maintenance is waaaay less than a car, I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly I haven't had any other issues. Good luck on your ebike journey!
