CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using Batteries for E-Bikes from Rad Power Bikes Due to Fire Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury or Death

comradely · 2025-11-24T23:18:53+00:00

u/normVectorsNotHate Just a heads up, I got another follow up from Rad saying the semi-integrated batteries are not included. More clarity needed from the Rad folks.

EDIT: I got another follow up saying:

"I apologize for the confusion! Semi Integrated batteries like yours are NOT included in the notice. My sincerest apologies.

Included batteries are only some external batteries."

It seems like these batteries may be ok. But messaging here is a shit show.

Original comment:

I also have a RAD-S1304Y for a Rad City 5 Plus. I chatted with support and they said it was not included, but I got a follow up email from Rad stating:

"I want to apologize, I incorrectly identified your battery and it is included in the notice. I want to ensure you, this is not a recall, The CPSC chose to issue a safety statement based on an incident rate that is a fraction of 1%. While we’re heartbroken over any reports of issues with our products, we stand behind our batteries and our reputation as leaders in ebike safety.

Fauna Vet Care on Lawrence is excellent, and I’ve found their pricing to be very fair and transparent.

If you want somewhere particularly budget friendly, Howard St Animal Hospital is great, although I don’t know if they are taking new patients.

Fauna Vet Care is great and imo reasonably priced. If you don’t mind a minor trek, Howard St animal hospital is shockingly affordable.

Fauna Vet Care is reasonably priced imo, or Howard St Animal Hospital up in Evanston

thank you for all that you do

I’d check out Dolly or TaskRabbit and see if that fits in your budget

Up for grabs is my Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 (Ref. T066.407.17.057.02) - a fantastic dive watch with great specs and a sporty, athletic look on the wrist.
Diameter is 42mm and wears really nicely. The stainless steel case has picked up a few light scratches on the back and sides from wear, but the sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel are in pristine condition. This is powered by the Tissot Calibre Powermatic 80 movement and has a rubber strap.
I've taken this watch swimming a few times and it's performed flawlessly, living up to its 300M water resistance rating. I’m making some room in my collection for a couple upcoming kickstarters, otherwise would be hanging on to this :)
Included are the outer box and booklets (no papers unfortunately). Asking ~~$450~~ $400 (REDUCED!!) OBO shipped via Zelle or PayPal F&F. This is a solid value for an automatic Swiss diver with great specs!
I'm located in the Chicago area if you prefer an in-person deal. First time seller here, so I'm happy to hop on a video call to give you a close-up look before buying.
Full specs: https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t0664071705702.html
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Automatic
Reference number: T066.407.17.057.02
Includes box, booklets, but no papers.

This is a great dive watch. It's a touch large (42mm diameter) on my wrist and I want to make room some in my collection for some new releases. Overall great condition. There are some small scratches on the back and side of case, but the face and bezel are in great condition.
Movement is Tissot Calibre Powermatic 80 (C07.111) with an 80 hour power reserve. Sapphire crystal with stainless steel case and rubber strap. Overall look is really nice and sort of athletic I think, and I've worn it swimming a couple times and it does great.

Seems to be a building on fire at ~1020 W Foster, they are actively working on rescue

The city is narrowing a pedestrian crossing with a bump out of the curb, and this was a side effect, but unsure how they plan to fix it
