Yeah, I do like the torque sensor and immediate response from this motor, but it does make the tail of my bike too heavy. If someone (maybe myself?) was selling/getting rid of a Bionx kit cheap, I wouldn't turn it down.

Yeah, but the only Rad bike that’s true of is the Burro. Damn, it needs the assist!

I haven’t tried that- I probably need to! A note on dealing with any underlying cause- I didn’t think about this until recently when a program on Lyme disease reminded me that swollen knees are one of the main symptons of infection. I know that I was bit in Humbolt Co. 30 years ago, but after...

If you have a Bionx dealer nearby, have the battery condition checked. Ask them about the reliability of the particular controller in the bike you are considering- some are supposedly prone to failure. I wonder about that with my own bike, but I haven't found a decent dealer so far, so I'll...

Eh, it's a brave soul who would commute on the Big Island from HOVE to Kona on Hwy 11. I once was stupid enough to consider it :)

Yep. That's why I bought the RadBurro now. Glad I did.

My nearby Walmart wouldn't allow this, neither does the university I attend. I have to fold and load my bike on my Travoy. I don't know what to do with my RadBurro. I watch it like a hawk when I can, but I've already had the console stolen. It attracts far more attention than I expected, but the...

Yeah, today they placed an order for other fenders that are supposed to have something that protects them from UV damage. I have to say, I’ve been treated exceptionally well by RadPower (they’re replacing a console that was stolen from the trike the day I put it together- I didn’t expect that!)...

No slogans, just sweat stains.

No chain, brake, derailleur, etc. maintenance? I don’t know, my bikes wouldn’t handle that.

It’s very riveting :)

Eh, “Great Value” Walmart generic instant coffee. Cheap like me.

Craigslist scammers are why I ride an e-bike rather than a decent cheap car, which is almost impossible to find nowadays unless you know the seller well. Don’t buy an e-bike or batteries on Craigslist.

I have a number of questions about how to maintain this bike smarter, rather than work harder as I normally do... I work witbout help, and this trike will make that challenging. Changing a tire, for one. Can a jack stand be used to do the front tire, and where would you place it not to smash...

Mmmm maybe, if you don’t live in the hot SW... Here’s a pic of what my RadBurro fenders looked like after their first day out in NM sun. I don’t mind, there isn’t really a purpose for the rear fenders other than to mount the rear lights, and now they include a light kit for the cargo box. That’s...
