    What's your farthest ride on your Radrover?

    I'm happy how the rover rides relatively well without power in most situations, except uphill :)

    What's your farthest ride on your Radrover?

    A bar extender seems quite useful. Looks like that rover is equipped for adventure & night riding! Great that the rover has adequate power for numerous attachments. :) My furthest ride so far is about 40 miles, with a few small hills, mostly flat & no wind; with the stock battery.

    Do you get strange looks when you past a moving vehicle? :)

    This is something I've experienced multiple times while riding on roads with car traffic. I'm not sure of the psychology of it. Perhaps people aren't expecting the bike to be going so fast, or they're distracted from seeing a bike, or their pride is affected if a bike passes them. To be safe, I...

    Pictures of an E-Bike Adventure

    Up a couple thousand feet within 5 miles, up the valley, out of the Ukiah valley. Nice view today at the top. Sounds of gunshots & strewn shotgun shells from the nearby shooting range had me heading down the steep loose-on-hard packed trail, testing the brakes and snow tires.

    Nice looking, inexpensive ebike! Wishing you safe and joyful rides. Good idea to have helmet, gloves, flashing red tail light and all for safety on & off the road.

    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    Wondering if those Hookworms still fit or does the bike's modification make it so they don't fit anymore?

    Do you get strange looks when you past a moving vehicle? :)

    I smiled back at a pack of road bikers today as they looked, well with their mouths kind of open, perplexed as I passed them on my fat tire ebike on a long stretch of country road. :)

    New Voltbike Yukon 750 spotted

    Enjoyed the unveiling, nice looking bike! Yes, that protector is important for that hub cable. My cable was damaged in shipping and ultimately needed to replace the hub. Happy cycling.

    Your attitude is an inspiration, Hugh! Wishing you continued good health. I hear that Yukon is a good value.

    Canadian Winter Ready Comfort Commuter - Research Stalemate

    Yes, it's easy to find and works quite well. A little goes a long way! Dielectric grease is a non-conductive, silicone-based grease that's designed to seal out moisture and prevent corrosion on electrical connectors. It also disrupts the flow of electrical current, which makes it good for...

    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    Those look like some nice urban road tires, walawn! Glad to know of your experience. And they actually work well on the 26x4 rims, despite their 24x2.5 size? We mostly ride on the road, with occasional packed trail rides with the radrovers. For singletrack and real off-road I still ride my 29er...

    cool weather gear

    How disheartening to have a bike stolen. I had a couple bikes stolen last year. Hope it was registered, or receipts, pictures, serial number all available. Wishing you success in recovering it.

    Low key commuter ebike

    Most people seem to think that black battery case is a motor, at first, the way it just sticks out on my bike. Some ebike owners paint their case. Could work to paint that case the color of the bike. Others put a triangle bag around it, then it looks like storage and not like a battery or motor...

    schwalbe big ben 700 x 50 raceguard

    Looks like another long lasting, durable Schwalbe tire, similar to the marathons I have on another bike. Hopefully they'll put out a similar fat tire, 26x4. The jumbo jim they offer would be great for sand & snow, but roads, not so much.

    Nice to visualize this, thanks. Maybe I won't paint it after-all :)
