    Converting this to a mid-mount e-bike

    Now! It must have disk brakes. How not sold on hydraulic brakes on a bicycle. I've only experienced cable pull brakes. Want easy maintenance on what ever is installed.

    Converting this to a mid-mount e-bike

    Tom, Run, and Harry - Thanks for the thoughts and input. The bike is lighter on the front end, so too much power is a concern. It's a steel front fork, alloy frame. The bike is about 34 pounds like it sits. A little assistance would make it more "knee frendly". Day 6 sells a mid motor. Bike...

    Converting this to a mid-mount e-bike

    I'm familiar with Rad, totally trust the components of Rad Power Bikes. I like the cadance system and PAS levels avaliable. Would like a direct drive that would add weight to the front of the bike and to help get the bike rolling. The trail is great for higher speeds but wonders at lower speeds...

    Converting this to a mid-mount e-bike

    This Dream 7 is a heavy bike, I'd love to convert it to a front wheel drive with a Rad Rover power system. I can't "push" it past 8mph, and my knees give out by about 6 miles. The RRST I bought a year ago has been what I needed to get out on a bike again. But I miss the comfort of this ride .

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    Yes, Harry's rig, it's hard to tell how low the bottom of the attachment is from that angle. I had to add a 4" riser to get enough clearance before I would use mine! It is a very solid rig. Overkill, but on a recent 1800 mile road trip in June it was fantastic. I rode five rails to trails paths...

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    Excellent looking set up. I added a 10" riser to my 2" receiver to get better ground clearance. I like your set-up. I would add LED strip lights on each side on your ramp. Even if you are allowed 3 feet without being required to flag or light. Being seen in this game is very important. The hitch...

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    & after dangling on the pavement for several hundred yards, what shape will they be in? Have you ever drove over or backed over something that doesn't clear the ground clearance your vehicle. Look at the angle of pavement contact from the cars tires to the bottom of your carrier/tires. I have...

    Radrunner 1 absolute tripe and company also beware

    This is the exact opposite of what I have experienced in dealing with Rad. My advise to you would be sell your Rad. Spend twice what you did and get the Lexus of the e-bike world. Specially since a Kia isn't working for you!

    Stop texting and get them on the phone. It's the best way to actually start a fix to your problems.

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    Are you rolling the bike up that? I'd prefer a smoother ramp and not have to fight the open spaces or having to lock the rear wheel and try to raise the front and set it down between the spacers, then lift the rear end. Just what I'm physically capable of and will to do frequently.

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    WHAT, you are going to lift an e-bike over your head to the top of a vehicle. I wish I was still young, not that I could have done it then. Tilting ramps is all I'm able to do and all I would look at!

    Bike rack for sedan that are economical, but solid.

    discountramps.com has some good heavy duty ramps. I would prefer to over kill it, than to be looking for parts dragged off the back of my wagon.

    Yep, I like that gear for stop lights with cross walks, on major multi-lane roads.

    Looking for a replacement for cassette on Rad Rover?

    Thank you Tempo, and many others. That is exactly what third gear looks like. I haven't inspected the others very closely. I see now that I don't need to go looking for a new set of drive gears, I think it's normal wear, just could use some cleaning, but then again it's a well maintained riden...
