    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    Aren't fat bikes zipping down roads at 20 or so mph a newer phenomenon? Not so long ago I only saw these guys on beaches and in the snow. Hopefully Schwalbe, Continental and other makers will be out with ebike ready fat tires in the near future. For now it seems these big boys will wear quickly...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    Nice scenary! For 20 years I lived in the high deserts & alpine of AZ. Wish I used a product like stans tire sealant to keep all those thorns & cacti out. Did you remove the tubes from those Rad wheels? I'm getting one of those triangle bags to help disquise the battery myself. May need to paint...

    Low key commuter ebike

    Perhaps you have checked out the bike reviews, videos and written evaluations. I'm satisfied with my radrover, but it's not "low key". The rad power bikes is coming out with a commuter next month, according to their site. If I was looking for a commuter I might also consider something like this...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    Wonderful seeing where all those incredible ebikes can go! Last weekend had a play date with my partner to cycle local logging roads, 30.2 mile, 3250 ft total ascent route around local Mendocino County (Northern Calif) hills. Amazing the stock 48v 11ah batteries lasted (just barely) the whole...

    A Battery Standard?

    Nice how that battery pack integrates with the frame. Interesting that it's using the same charger supplied with my Radrover.

    Luna fat bike suspension fork vs upgraded 2016 topgun from rad or?

    Sorry to hear it's worn out so soon. On my 2016 Radrover the forks seem adequate for the roads & packed trails I take it on. I've cleaned & lightly lubed the stanchions as general maintenance. Compared to the rockshox sid rlc's on my mtn bike, these are quite heavy, light-duty shocks. If I felt...

    Registering Bike

    Glad to know of this alternative site for bike registration that offers a certificate & sticker. Having bike's serial number, receipt and images in one place are useful in the event of bike's disappearance. I'm impressed with the security options shared, also. Someone scheming to take a bike...

    Some of us may have local city, college or police bike registration opportunities. Are others registering e-bikes, if so, where?

    rear view mirrors ?

    Mirrycle has been on my bikes for years. Now successfully using on my radrover. Whatever the style or brand, I find a bike mirror essential for being on the road with cars. Safe riding!

    Radrover Beast finally finished! After all summer...

    Sounds like great fun. Initially I was considering a diy job on my partner's old mtn bike but decided to get an already build ebikes for her, then me. But I'm encouraged that I can take my newer mtn bike and make a conversion similar to yours, someday. Have you considered the 52v battery with 13...

    Quite spectacular place! Is that Colorado? How far did you cycle & how much elevation gain, I wonder? I'm charging up my battery now to get up the hills & search for Fall colors.
