Locking up your bike is recommended to ensure your bike is secure and the chance of theft is reduced. Rad Power 
Bikes makes no claims or recommendations on the proper lock hardware or procedures to secure your bike, but we do 
recommend you take the appropriate precautions to keep your Rad Power Bike safe from theft.

When storing your bike or carrying your bike on a rack for transport, you can remove the battery pack to reduce the 
weight of the bike and make lifting and loading easier.

kickstand is not designed to be used for loading cargo. You MUST hold onto the bike whenever loading cargo. Do not assume the bike is

CARRYING CARGO 

Carrying a cargo load involves additional risks which need to be paid close attention to, users should practice riding on a flat 
and open area with light cargo before attempting to carry heavier loads or passengers. You must become accustomed to the 
braking, steering, and operational adjustments required to safely operate the RadMini with cargo. Braking, acceleration, and 
balancing are all significantly affected by the addition of cargo loaded on the RadMini.
