I am wondering for those who have moved to Portugal from the US if they have had any issues with taking their electric bikes? I have read that there is an issue with shipping the battery.
Steve and I (you know from Desert Falls pickleball) are Townie folk, had 21-speed Townies for years that we loved, so for e-bikes in 9/2019 we went with Townie Go's and both love them, me with the 8D (center drive) and Steve the 7D (hub drive). I believe they're assembled in Europe vs Asia so it seems you should be able to find them somewhere over there? People love their Rad Bikes but I hear their components are not the quality of the Townies, if that makes a difference for everyday use. Happy Trails! I included notes for e-bikes in my next edition of enCYCLEpedia Southern California, due out in May.
I have a Tern Vektron, which is a folding electric bike, with over 2000 miles on it. It’s solid and no issues with the numerous steep canyons here in San Diego. Enjoy the Rad, maybe you can provide updates on the new bike as you put miles on it. I would be interested in seeing how the Rad does over time. It’s truly a great price. Enjoy!
Hi Nancy, I would love a "one year on" retrospective on your choice of a Rad ebike? Because of your blog, I've been looking into getting one. Thanks!

Just wondering, will you need to have good bike locks when you leave them somewhere? I know you said that Portugal has a low crime rate.
