About Rad Power Bikes

Before he was the Founder & Chairman of North America’s largest ebike maker, Mike Radenbaugh was a teenager tinkerer. He’d spend hours in his parents’ garage soldering spare electronic parts to an old bicycle in hopes of developing a better way to complete his rural and hilly 15-mile ride to school

“The Frankenbike,” a battery-powered ride that could outpace cars and get him to class without breaking a sweat was born. Soon, others asked him to build them one. His mom suggested he name his side hustle Rad Power Bikes.

Mike teamed up with Ty Collins, his childhood friend and marketer, to crowdsource the development of Rad’s first flagship product. Within 30 days, Rad raised $320,000 and put it into his flagship RadRover, an electric fat tire bike that would transform the entire industry.
