RENTON, WASH. – Seattle Sounders FC today announced that the club and Rad Power Bikes have signed a multi-year partnership making Rad the Official and Exclusive Ebike of Sounders FC.

The partnership centers around sustainability, with Rad activating at Sounders FC matches in various capacities, including giving fans the opportunity to test ride and learn about ebikes and even win a custom Sounders FC x Rad ebike of their own.
