From now through December 4th, Rad Power Bikes is running a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale on select e-bikes, e-bike racks, and accessories, with potential savings as much as $700. And if you also have access to a local or state e-bike rebate or incentive, buying an electron-fueled fun machine could end up costing a lot less than you might think.

We know Rad Power Bikes, as we’ve ridden and reviewed a number of different e-bike models over the years, like the RadWagon 4, the RadRunner 3 Plus, the RadCity, the Radster Trail, and others. All of them have proven to be reliable and well-built, which are what you want in a good — and affordable — entry-level e-bike.

The RadWagon 4 e-cargo bike, regularly priced at $1799 (which is already a good deal), is on sale for $1599 right now, plus a free Ballard cargo bag. The company describes it as “The minivan has met its match,” and while it’s not quite as large as a minivan, it can definitely haul a lot of cargo on its long-tail frame, while also being very stable to ride due to its low center of gravity.

The RadExpand 5, which is the company’s best-selling folding e-bike, is currently just $1099, a discount of $500 from its usual $1599, plus a free accessory of your choice (under $200). This compact and easy to ride e-bike will fit right into the trunk of many vehicles, which makes it a capable last-mile solution.

RadPower Bikes is also offering a free Safe Shield battery right now with select e-bike models (Radster Road, Radster Trail, RadWagon 5, and RadExpand 5 Plus), essentially saving $599 off of full retail price. The Safe Shield battery incorporates thermal-resistant technology that “can effectively stop the spread of a localized thermal event and can even extinguish the thermal incident,” which is an obtuse way of saying it can help prevent and put out an e-bike battery fire. The Safe Shield batteries are UL Certified to UL 2271. To get the upgraded battery, add it to the cart along with the e-bike, and the discount will be applied before checkout.

One really helpful accessory have on hand is a vehicle rack for e-bikes, because most standard vehicle bike racks are not up to the task. For carrying e-bikes, which are heavier and often larger than a conventional bicycle, Rad Power Bikes offers Hollywood vehicle racks, which all happen to be on sale for 25% off right now. They can carry up to two e-bikes at up to 80 pounds per e-bike.
