This store is incredible--it's like a toy shop for adults! I love browsing all the bike models on display and seeing how they're paired with different accessories. Honestly, just walking in makes me want to work here part-time. I recently bought a second-hand Rad bike and couldn't be more excited that their warehouse is right in my neighborhood. I picked up some accessories too, thinking I'd get 45-50% off with the tune-up package, but the discount turned out to be only 10%--definitely read the fine print. On the plus side, I've already scheduled my tune-up for the end of February, so I'll be all set for the upcoming riding season. Overall, I'm thrilled to have RadPower Bikes nearby! Pro tip: they are backed up on service, schedule something in advance!

Rad electric bike. Stolen from the 7/11

I have the new saddle bags for the Rad electric bike in the picture. I was VERY happy with the bike. I also have a front carrying rack that is also new. The bike was stolen in 2 minutes from the 7 11 store. A guy picked it up and put it in the truck and took off. I will buy another Rad electric bike this spring. If you can get someone to buy the saddle bags and front carrying rack I will be glad to bring them to your Ballard store . Sincerely Brion Lee Salonen 206-305-8410 .

Battery is in place ready for my next ride.

I've had my Radcity 4 since last September. Living in Chicagoland, I grew up riding in the parks and forest preserve trails. Now, living in the burbs and only five miles from work, and recovered from foot surgery, I am so glad that I got this bike. My morning commute gets me going and the ride home is casual and relaxing. The battery gets charged after 40 miles so I don't get caught without a boost to get home. The brakes are great and the suspension dampens the cracks and bumps along my ride. This summer will be filled with some great rides and I won't worry about getting home exhausted. Thanks for a great quality product at a reasonable price.

I took two safely working Radrover 6plus bikes into RAD Service Center and left with one working bike and one bike unsafe to ride! Let me start off with saying I love my Radrover 6plus bicycles and that's why I'm giving two stars in lieu of one star. I bought my bikes new and they worked flawlessly albeit time for their complementary tuneup by the Seattle RAD service department. After scheduling online I procured the first and second service appointment for a Saturday, I was let known the service would be about an hour for each bike, and I could pick up upon completion. I arrived 15 minutes early to the Seattle RAD store and an employee let me come in a few minutes before they opened. So far I was very pleased with RADs customer service but that was soon to change. Upon identifying myself the service technician responded "okay, so your going to drop your bikes off for a few days and we'll get them serviced?" I explained I have two appointments for two bikes and I will be taking the bikes with me after they are done this morning because I live an hour south of Seattle. After a bit of confusion they took the bikes in and said it would be a couple hours until they will be ready for pick up. After walking around Ballard for a couple hours I received a call saying my bikes were almost done, but an aftermarket part was installed incorrectly. However, a mechanic here at RAD can fix it for $20. I had no reason to not trust a professional RAD bike mechanic so I authorized the $20 repair. Another hour later I returned to the RAD Service Center and I was asked which bike shop installed my stem riser because the did it wrong? I identified that I installed the stem riser without issue. I asked what was wrong with the stem and the RAD technician and RAD mechanic told me everything was fine when they checked the bike, but when the supervisor crossed checked the service work at which point clamp screw on the stem riser moved a little past tolerance. However they can run to the hardware store, get a larger screw, and tap out the failed part. I agreed to again let RAD make the repair. About thirty minutes later I was informed I could pick up my bikes. However, they were unable to find the right size of screw, my bike was now unsafe to ride, I would have to make the repair myself, and I would have to sign a release from RAD because my bike was leaving their shop unsafe to ride. Questions: Why were RAD techs checking the torsion on an aftermarket component? Why was the screw stripped even beyond finger tightness if it turned just a little past tolerance? Why was I told the part was installed incorrectly if the original RAD techs found no issues? Why wasn't I given a copy of the signed release for taking an unsafe bike? The RAD technician and mechanic were very apologetic, but this didn't make up for decommissioning a working bike, leaving the repairs up to me, and not being straightforward with the mishap. Team RAD and RAD Management, I bought $4500 of bicycles and accessories from the Seattle store this year and you have completely lost my trust for your service department and service management style.

I've had my Rad Rover for a year now and I've been in and out of the store location for accessories in that time.

UPDATE: After posting this review, it somehow got worse. On a later visit, an employee -- who I…read moreunderstand may be a part-owner -- confronted me about the review, followed me out of the store, and called me a "chicken shit" on my way out, blaming me yet again for the entire situation. I'll let that speak for itself. A business that responds to honest, factual feedback by chasing a paying customer out the door and throwing insults has told you everything you need to know about how it treats people. This update wasn't something I went looking for -- it just confirms the exact pattern I described above. REVIEW: I'll stick to the facts. I spent over $6,000 at this shop -- and apparently that doesn't buy you even baseline customer service. I bought my bike here, and after a front wheel/tire failure caused a crash, I went through a Giant warranty claim with Montlake. The product side eventually got resolved, but dealing with them was frustrating from start to finish -- and the real problem wasn't the logistics, it was the attitude. From the beginning, I got the clear sense the shop saw me as an inconvenience rather than a customer. Communication was poor across essentially everyone I dealt with: no timely updates, no callbacks, no straight answers, and I was the one chasing them at every step. More than the delays, it was the tone -- dismissive, condescending, and openly impatient any time I asked a reasonable question about my own bike. One phone call summed up the whole experience. A staff member told me to "chill out dude, you got a new bike even though it was your fault you crashed it," and to stop "beating a dead horse." Talked down to, blamed, and brushed off in a single call. It's also just wrong -- it reflects a basic misunderstanding of how Giant's warranty and crash-replacement programs actually work. I don't expect a shop to agree with me on everything, but I do expect basic respect -- especially as a customer who put thousands of dollars into this place. The product issue got sorted out eventually; the attitude is why I won't be back, and why I'd point other riders elsewhere.

I'm just getting back into bike commuting, and I've been very happy with my experience at Montlake…read moreBike Shop. They've been very patient with my questions, and have had a really quick turnaround time with service. I will continue to recommend them to my friends.

If you have a normal bike, I'm sure Alki Bike and Board Shop can handle it…read more If you have a mildly complicated bike, definitely go there. If, however, you have a questionably overpowered long-tail cargo bike running a custom Bafang BBSHD mid-drive setup that may or may not have been engineered during a caffeine-fueled "more capability and power is always a good idea" phase... these are your people. I rolled in with what can only be described as a mechanical riddle wrapped in an enigma of wiring harnesses and torque sensors. My Bafang BBSHD setup had become inhabited by a small tribe of mean spirited electrical gremlins. I'm capable with bike mechanics, but this had gotten over my head - I was bracing for a massive bill (maybe significant part replacements). Instead, the team at Alki Bike & Board just... handled it. Calmly. Confidently. No drama. No upsell. Just pure competence. The bill was less than 1/10 what I had expected. This crew is overseen by a guy called Dayton - I'm not sure if he is more Thor or Hercules. On one hand, he seems like he could summon lightning directly into a mid-drive motor. On the other hand, he has the calm, slightly amused strength of someone who has already defeated twelve labors involving stripped bolts and cross-threaded bottom brackets. Either way, the man is operating on a different plane. He diagnosed the issues quickly, explained everything in plain English (instead of "mystical bike wizard dialect"), and fixed the whole situation for a small fraction of what I was mentally preparing to pay. I didn't believe him when he told me. Bottom line: Extremely knowledgeable Honest pricing No ego, no attitude Dayton = certified bike demi-god If you are near West Seattle and your bike needs anything beyond a gentle pat on the saddle, this is the spot. 10/10. Will bring my mechanical chaos machine back henceforth!

For years I struggled to adjust the SRAM front derailleur on my Lynskey Backroad touring bike. I…read morehad taken it to three different mechanics and they all adjusted the tension, the high and low screws, etc., and the shifting would work for an hour or so, then either the chain would fall off or would not go into the large chain ring. I finally brought the bike to Alki Bike and Board and the mechanic noticed the derailleur had too much play in it. It was either poor design or defective. The mechanic ordered and installed a $40 Shimano Deore derailleur and charged just $25 for labor. The bike shifts beautifully now. Why did I wait all those years and put up with the crappy shifting? It's like a new bike now. Thank you, Alki Bike and Board!!!
