Rad Power serial numbers are usually engraved on the frame at the front of the bike, below the RAD badge. The same number normally appears on a sticker on the delivery box. If you are buying used, ask for a clear photo of the front-frame serial number and proof of purchase. Do not use wheel hub, motor or charger numbers as the bike frame number.
That number matters. It helps you register the bike, check if it has been reported stolen, prove ownership, value it and sell it with more buyer confidence. Here is where to find it, how to read it, and how to check it before you buy.
Check a Rad Power frame number
Free, instant, no signup. Enter the number stamped on the frame to check it against the UK stolen-bike databases.
The serial number on a Rad Power bike is usually engraved on the frame below the RAD badge at the front of the bike. It may also be shown on a sticker on the outside of the delivery box. Use the full engraved number for checks and registration.
Start below the RAD badge at the front.
Unlike most bikes, a Rad Power carries its serial number at the front of the bike rather than at the bottom bracket.
- Stand at the front of the bike and find the RAD badge on the frame.
- Look directly below the badge for the engraved serial number.
- Wipe away dirt and use a torch if the engraving is shallow.
- Check the sticker on the delivery box for the matching number if the seller still has it.
- Take a clear photo before typing the number into a checker.
Make sure you copy the full number. A single missing or misread character can give the wrong result.
What does a Rad Power frame number look like?
Use the full engraved serial number on the frame. Do not use charger, battery, motor, wheel or accessory labels. If the seller has the original box, the frame barcode sticker can help confirm the same number.
Do not use the model name, tyre size, barcode on a shop label, or any number printed on a component. The frame number belongs to the bike frame itself. For example, these are not usually the frame number:
- RadRunner
- RadCity
- RadMission
- RadWagon
- RadRover
- RadExpand
- RadRhino
- RadMini
- RAD badge alone
- Motor serial number
- Battery serial number
- Charger serial number
- Wheel hub number
- Controller number
- Display serial number
- Box SKU
- Order number alone
The number you want is the unique frame code that belongs to the frame itself.
The front of the bike, not the pedals
Unlike most bikes, a Rad Power carries its serial number at the front rather than at the bottom bracket. Generic "look under the pedals" guidance can miss the mark here, so check below the RAD badge first.
The detail that protects you.
A frame number is one of the most useful details on a used bike. It connects a Rad Power to its owner, its registration record and any stolen-bike reports.
You may need it to:
- Check if a Rad Power bike has been reported stolen.
- Register your bike.
- Sell your bike with confidence.
- Get an accurate bike valuation.
- Make an insurance claim.
- Report a stolen bike to the police.
- Prove the bike is yours.
If you own a Rad Power, take a photo of the frame number and keep it with your receipt. If the bike is ever stolen, that detail can make a real difference.
Buying a used Rad Power? Check the frame number first.
A clean-looking bike is not always a safe buy. Before you pay, ask the seller for a clear photo of the frame number and check it against stolen-bike records. You should also ask for:
- The original receipt or proof of purchase.
- The seller’s name matching the receipt where possible.
- Clear photos of the bike from both sides.
- A photo of the frame number.
- Any service history.
- Details of upgrades or replacement parts.
Red flag. Be careful if the seller refuses to show the frame number, says they cannot find it, gives only a partial code, or pressures you to pay quickly. A genuine seller should understand why you are checking.

What to do if your Rad Power has been stolen.
Report it as soon as possible. You will usually need the frame number, photos, make, model, colour, size, location and any unique marks or upgrades.
- Report the theft to the police.
- Get a crime reference number.
- Add the bike to stolen-bike databases.
- Update any existing bike registration record.
- Contact your insurer if you have cover.
- Watch used bike listings for matching bikes.
- Keep photos, receipts and messages in one place.
Include anything distinctive, such as upgraded wheels, unusual tyres, scratches, stickers, lights, mudguards, racks or replacement parts. The more detail you provide, the easier it is to identify the bike if it appears for sale.
