Reports: Rad Power Bikes Cut More Headcount in July

Based on early reporting by TechCrunch and expanded reporting by GeekWire, Rad Power Bikes cut additional employees from its payroll in July.

The State of Washington has no record of a WARN notice filing from the company, and SGB Media could not confirm the layoffs.

GeekWire said a spokesperson for the Seattle-based company “declined to share how many jobs were eliminated and from which departments were part of the reduction.”

TechCrunch cited sources who said the job cuts “mostly hit Rad’s product development teams.”

Rad Power Bikes, the e-bike start-up, reportedly cut 100 jobs in April 2021 and another 63 in July 2022. The company also laid off employees in December 2022 and April 2023. In July 2023, the company reported that it was pulling out of Europe and would lay off around 40 employees. The company also closed a retail store in Brooklyn, NY, in November 2023.
