I leave my battery on the bike — but I bought insurance specifically for my e-bike, which covers theft of accessories and components, as well as of the whole bike. Also gives me some liability insurance, in case somebody doors me and then tries to say it’s my fault and I have to pay, and...

I ended up getting Specialized’s “The Cup“ seat, from my local bike shop, which has a generous return policy. I like it! It’s really well-designed, at least for my anatomy. Thanks, all!

I got the Suntour NCX seatpost, and a couple of Cloud 9 seats to try (I’ll return the ones I don’t decide to go with). Currently, I’m trying the Comfort Select women’s seat. Very cushy, with the suspension seatpost! I do need to pay my local REI a visit, so I’ll consult them about other seat...

I adore my Rad Wagon 4, and the Enhanced Comfort Seat was an excellent purchase for me, when I bought the bike. I had a minor accident on the bike, though, and now the spring on one side of the seat are slightly bent. I’m trying to find out whether it’s an easy fix, but thought I’d investigate...

I have the Enhanced Comfort Saddle, and loved it. I say “loved” solely because I had an accident and the seat got slightly bent to the side. I’m seeing if it’s an easy fix before I replace it. The Enhanced Comfort Saddle adds springs for cushioning, is a gel seat, and fit where my sitz bones are...

A handy neighbor from the local bike club made these crutch couriers for my bike — problem solved!

I gave up on cycling, because of my disability. Then I found out about e-bikes! I’m on SSDI, so it took a long time before I could get one. Now, I’ve sold my car, and my Rad Wagon 4 is my sole vehicle. Riding it is like injecting joy, and my physical therapist is astonished at how quickly my...

I suggest exercising biceps, triceps, quadriceps, hamstrings, and, above all, core strength! Using good form when lifting the bike will help prevent injury, and lifting weights with a mirror, and ideally at least one session with a personal trainer (group settings are fine; the important thing...

Ooh, I am totally going to steal that idea! Thanks!

I’m loving mine!

I should have stayed in Girl Scouts for knot lessons! This is definitely an important life skill I’ve missed out on. 😂

There is a rear rack. I’m just not totally confident in bungees preventing them from sliding along the length of the crutch, if that makes sense. Ooh, I could probably wrap them in a beach towel and bungee them! Thanks, Uma. Planning on coming to you for a trike conversion, when I can!

I was looking at conversions, and highly encourage you to do so too! I had to make a snap decision and get something right away, and so bought a Rad Wagon 4. I love it! The pannier bags made for the Rad Wagon are in stock, and they use clips to adapt to the Rad Wagon 4 (they fit without extra...

I’m the proud (and Disabled) owner of a new Rad Wagon 4. Normally, I get around via a folding wheelchair, which can be strapped to the back, but it looks like there are some crutches being developed that I can use, and I’m wondering how to carry two long objects. OTOH, I’ve seen videos of...
