    GoPro Style Safety Camera Reccos...

    You hit on one of my favorite topics Andy_in_CA. I have a camera of some sort on me at all times whether I'm walking, running, or riding a bike. There are a variety of good usable cameras available but you won't need to spend a lot to get the one that works. Mountain bikers typically use a chest...

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    Running is my favorite pastime. Got hooked during the boom in the 1970's and have been at it ever since. No matter where I worked or what I did, I always found time to do my regular 10k and sometimes more. Now that I'm retired, I added biking to my routine with my RAD Rover and now I alternate...

    RAD City Step-Thru 300 mile Impressions

    Why thank you Amy! I try to be inspirational to the winners who like to keep themselves active. Jim is no doubt, tired of hearing it. Also count me as another in favor of the Park Tool spoke wrench.

    RAD City Step-Thru 300 mile Impressions

    Doing Great Jim Mass. Keep at it and watch the stamina return. Remember that old saying: A Mass at rest tends to stay at rest, but a Mass in motion tends to stay in motion.

    THE NEW RPB CITY STEP THRU - CITY & TRAILS TOO

    It has a good solid frame that doesn't wobble and should take power upgrades nicely. Before spending a lot of money though, might want to check and see what Luna has available. We are not far from when electric motorcycles catch on. Not sure if it is all that power motorcycle riders want or just...

    THE NEW RPB CITY STEP THRU - CITY & TRAILS TOO

    Hello rockstarinlife, welcome to the RAD forum. It would have been nice if RAD included a mini-Rover with 24" wheels in their lineup. It's the perfect size for youngsters. But the 24" wheels are not found that often, and Pedego has the only bike I know of that uses them. And then there is the...

    Radmini versus Radrover for sharing with the family?

    LOL I have one of every bike mentioned in this thread so far. I might be a bit partial to RAD bikes (ya think?). One (of several) bikes RPB doesn't offer that would also be impossible to keep in stock is a Rover with 24" wheels. No doubt figuring the Mini would serve just as well, I'm sure it...

    Rover Throttle only question

    That's probably a good question to take to RAD for an answer. I would like to know myself because even though I have a paved mile uphill at 10% leading up to my house that I love taking at full throttle, they do warn to use caution on steeper grades of 15% or more to watch the wattage meter and...

    THE NEW RPB CITY STEP THRU - CITY & TRAILS TOO

    Hello loloc, No problem checking-in. Thank you for that! Hornby Island is truly a trail rider's Fantasy Island Shred and I'm jealous! I'll try to answer a line at a time. Sitting upright: Although RAD has improved the seating for the 2018 Rover, it is still basically using a mountain bike...

    Rad City Tire Pressure.

    I'm riding the City Step-Thru. All RAD city bikes use the same dual purpose tires with a tire pressure range of 30 to 80 psi. The minimum range of 30 psi allows running thru softer surfaces safely while also providing more tire surface that helps ride over it instead of bogging down. If I had to...

    Finally got my first E Bike

    Hi CodyDog The drive train and controls all work excellent for me, and I do some long fast downhills while offroad. The only things I changed were the seats and handlebars so it would position me to be more upright, such as when riding a beach cruiser. Having my back bent and leaning forward...

    Finally got my first E Bike

    Welcome to another smiling RAD rider. I happen to have three of them that are working perfectly, and take daily rides that combine hilly residential roads and off-road soft sand. Followup support from RPB is excellent so don't be hesitant to email or call them. I ask them a lot of questions and...

    Jones H bar, anyone ?

    I like my Jones H-bars just fine. It also provides a lot of open bar area for attaching all sorts of gadgets. I think the Jones website links to a picture with a laptop attached to the bars. LOL Here's mine on my Rover.

    When i hit a bump my throttle cuts off and then resume.. Anyone help please

    Sounds familiar. I was once shut down when the knurled knobs on the main power connector came loose and disconnected. It was probably loose from the factory and since reconnecting it has never caused any more problems. If it is connected, it could be faulty so it should be checked to make sure...

    I'll gladly return to the original days of Flash Gordon and Superman. Things were much simpler then. I was happy to let this thread die and let the Jawas auction it off, but since it has been brought back to life, I'll just add the final breakdown of the naming conventions I thought might be...

    Hi mrgold35, I remember the news reports about Sputnick while still in grammer school and then JFK's efforts to beat everyone to the moon. Those were good times for the economy that many who remember would like to return. Actually we are past the time for flying cars and designers are more aptly...

    SpaceForce

    A little more thought would have probably netted a better name other than calling an army of Astronauts the Space Force. Or would they be known as Space Cadets? I shudder at the thought! Why not then, because the name Astronaut has always fit so well into all things that reference Space, call...
