    Battery charging

    In the short time I have had my RR, I've charged the battery twice. Both times I removed the battery from the bike. I plugged the power connector into the battery first, and it sparked. Then I plugged the charger into the wall outlet as the instructions suggested. Have other people seen this...

    RadRover Odometer Thread

    Ha! 1000 miles! I got my first day of sunshine yesterday in the week and a half since I picked up my bike. The Wife and I took a ride on a paved bike trail for about 15 miles. It was great and I was finally able to experiment with all the modes of opperation. The battery guage didn't move...

    hub motor manufacturer

    My bad... I got to ride it again today for a few minutes between rain squals, and at PAS1 I was showing 250 to 700W depending on the grade and how hard I was pedaling. Plus I managed to get the derailleur adjusted so it would go into low gear, maybe that was part of the problem before... :-)...

    RadRover Odometer Thread

    I picked up my RR in Seattle about a week ago, it was raining, and it hasn't stopped since. So I've only got one mile on it so far. I need fenders... :-) Have you noticed that they sell an accessory light on their web site now? http://www.radpowerbikes.com Mark -

    Radwagon battery

    I used a pair of needlenosed pliars, there is a slot on either side of the fuse. Grab it with the pliars and pull it straight out. My normal size automotive fuse puller was too big to use. The fuse looks like this...

    Radwagon battery

    Do you mean to say you're having problems with the battery "not" staying on? If so, when you depress the blue on/off button on the battery, does it stay depressed and does the blue light come on? Or doesn't the on/off button stay pushed in, or doesn't the blue light stay on? Or do you have a...

    hub motor manufacturer

    I've only used my new bike for less than a mile so far, but I noticed that even going up small hills (on PAS 1) while pedaling, the display says I'm pulling over 800 Watts. Would that be consider normal, or will that overheat the motor and cause a problem? Am I doing ssomething wrong??? Mark -

    Studded tires for the Rad Rover

    Cool!!! I didn't know about studded bike tires. I haven't received my RR yet, but considering the time of year in the Pacific NorthWest, I may have to look into this more carefully. Here are some interesting links... http://45nrth.com/products/tires/dillinger...

    Can you set them higher than 40 KPH, which is 24.85MPH, using the display? Mark -

    RadRover handlebars

    Perhaps a new gooseneck (or stem) would be an effective solution for you, instead of a whole new handlebar? http://www.bicyclewarehouse.com/product-list/parts-1051/stems-1089/ Mark -

    Radrover vs Sondors

    Hey Joe, Thanks for the reply. I'm just thinking if I get out 10 miles somewhere and the battery dies, I'd be hard pressed to get home pedling my Son's Sonders one speed bike back up the hills it took to get to where I am.. Maybe you can pack another battery so you don't get stranded... :-)

    Radrover vs Sondors

    Hi Joe, Sounds like some interesting options... I'm very new to EBikes, so there are many things I don't understand yet. The thing that I found most uncomfortable about riding the Sonders bike is that it had only one gear. Would you have to replace the whole hub motor to get one with a gear...

    Radrover vs Sondors

    I haven't received my RR yet, but my son bought a used Sondors bike, and I had the chance to ride it recently. I was not impressed with how difficult it was to pedal without the motor on, and only one gear. We were at a house which is on a hill, and he had me try it without power first for...

    RadRover Odometer Thread

    Wow, I just read two threads in two minutes about people getting flat tires from thorns! Thorns? I can understand nails, tacks, screws, or sharp pieces of bent metal, but thorns? I haven't received my RR yet, but should I be really worried about thorns, and avoid going off road??? Ha! Not...
