I have been trying to contact the company ever since I have gotten my bike 1 month ago. I spent $1,500 dollars on a brand new bike on** to ************** to me with damage to the frame. I've been trying to email *** as well as contact them through the chat for a month now. No rep**. I also tried calling their former customer service line o ** to receive aessage thay they are no longer in accepting phone calls. Now I go on this site and see all the complaints about the horrible customer service. Kind of funny to hear about a bike company that charges thousands of dollars for a product and give ZERO customer service or support to their customers. This is ridiculous. I will be placing a formal complaint with the BBB.Rad Power Bikes Inc.

Dear ******:
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the shipping damage your RadExpand 5 sustained while in transit with FedEx!
Upon review of your documentation, the damage to your frame appears to be cosmetic, and the plastic protective wheel cover is designed to absorb shock and withstand damage, so there's no need to worry. As a token of appreciation for being a Rad customer, we've sent you a $50 eGiftcard valid for purchases on our website or in-store.
If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the support ticket we've created for you (#*******).

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 ***.Rad Power Bikes Inc.

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.Rad Power Bikes Inc.

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.Rad Power Bikes Inc.

1 starBrand 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.Review fromJeffrey "Rad Sucks" S

1 starHey 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.Review fromwilliam G

Ordered a bike and ***** has been unable to deliver to get a signature. Three times they said they have attempted to deliver. I actually took off of work and this is the third day they claim they tried to deliver. Address is correct, normal neighborhood, get ***** deliveries all the time, and have cameras. No attempted delivery. Was finally told I could pick it up at ****** went to the address they gave me spent my morning going to three different warehouse. Finally was told the bike was in a trailer that would be unloaded the next day and delivered. No delivery!Sent three emails (only way to contact RAD) with no response. Decided if that was the service before I got the bike could only get worse! Canceled order on my credit card.Rad Power Bikes Inc.

The bike finally arrived damaged two days ago and I have been on the *** Bike customer support chat for hours with no response about what to do with the damaged bike.

A refund confirmation was sent to ****'s email that we have on file.

I bought 2 rad rover 6 plus bikes last spring . Me and my wife have enjoyed riding them for the past year and have told everyone who asked all about the great bikes . However my opinion has now changed due to their total lack of customer service . The ********* does not ever answer their phone after 25 plus calls i gave up . they have shut down their 800 numbers to catch up on the back log of complaints and questions about parts and problems . I am of the opinion that will only add to the frustration of their customers . As far as e mail or an line customer support goes it to is also just as bad a simple question like where do i purchase a UI remote for my rad rover 6 plus is only answered with what e mail was the bike purchased under do you have a ticket # what is the receipt # whos name was it purchased under . With all the questions not a simple you can buy one here very frustrating . I eventually called the ******* store talked to an employee on the first try got an answer to my question and drove to ******* to pick up my part ****************************************************************************************************************************************************** my 65 years . *******************Rad Power Bikes Inc.

I do not need an invoice for something that I have not purchased . If you have read my comments I needed a UI remote not a display you need to pay more attention . My question was where to buy one . You did not answer my simple question . I drove 600 km to ******* to buy one because unlike your ********* store they answer their phone and my simple question .again if you would pay more attention to my post you would know that . You have been zero help and I will continue to discourage anyone who asks about your bike not to buy one . Strictly based on your absolute disregard for your customers after they purchased a bike .J.

I needed A U I remote . Your agents did not try to assist all they did was request additional information that has nothing to do do with the simple question which was were do I buy one . If youre ********* store would answer their phone like the ******* store I wouldnt have had to drive to ******* for my part . You want information that has nothing to do with my question . You are simply wasting peoples time by not giving a straight answer . That is why I discourage people from making the same mistake as I did when I bought 2 of your bikes last year .
