Today a local man whose family has one Rad bike and whose other bicycles are, to his great satisfaction, Tern bikes, brought this Rad news to our attention. He’s bummed they don’t have ALL Terns. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2026/05/12/woman-files-wrongful-death-suit-against-rad-power-bikes-after-fire-kills

That Rad news is another reason we’re grateful that two extraordinary bike industry leaders — Larry Pizzi and Dale Aguas — steered us in the right direction. Years ago Larry told us about Bosch batteries; and in 2024, Dale of @ternbicycles (which use Bosch batteries) pointed us to a #TernBicycles model very well suited to our needs, the #TernNBD. #Monterey Bay #LocalBikeShop Current eBikes assembled our Tern NBD P8i, and also provides 24 months of unlimited Standard Tune-ups + ongoing support and care.

We’re so glad to have the quality of Bosch and Tern, and also very happy with Current’s service. https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/116644390356044137

@CyclingGuide Ziggy's Cycle and Sport is another independent retailer with a long history in Waterloo Region. Local bike shops are a treasure! I’ve shopped there a lot over the years, and have never regretted recommending them to anyone. Friendly staff, woman-owned, great selection. 😀🚴🏼‍♀️❤️

@J_aa_p I had a similar story last year, #wattwagons for their “supercharged” belt-driven (single) Hound with a 3kWh battery pack. It took months of hounding them about my order to get it delivered. I was honestly disappointed by the quality of some parts and the build, but dealing with it by being my own mechanic… and never mail ordering an e-bike again.

Buy from your #LocalBikeShop. Support businesses that will support you!
