    New Rad Rover 6

    I like nearly everything except the 74lb weight. Heavier than the last version.

    Kick stand replacement for Ui6

    Interesting. I get some pedal lock with it too, it's kind of annoying, but yeah with some garage logistics I can get by.

    Kick stand replacement for Ui6

    Did ever find one and swap it in? How did it work out?

    Do you ever get tired of riding your ebike?

    Similar situation: two commuters working from home now due to the Pandemic. We never use the second car anymore. I use the bike for quick grocery trips cause I live close enough. I guess I could take a trailer for larger loads. But here in Michigan there's 4-5 months a year where riding is...

    Magnum ui6 going away?

    I did not, but I'm no expert. I just bought a UI6 last week at the local ebike shop and chatted them up a lot about their bikes and about magnum and I didn't hear that. I heard that prices were going up (shocker, but actually pretty plausible). They had nearly every model including the Ranger...

    Spring refresh?

    Mid march is when Rad updated several bikes last year. I noticed also the step thru rover in white is just out of stock...no shipping times. Sounds like they are reducing inventory, perhaps for an upgraded model. Anyone know anything? :)
