    Radrover Beast finally finished! After all summer...

    I'm quite impressed with that beast, formally known as Radrover! How nice to get the bike the way you want it, after lots of effort. I'd be tempted to get that bike from you, but alas, I already have a rad. I'm riding safe, same to you with that high powered mid-drive.

    Pictures of an E-Bike Adventure

    Got the e-bike for the joy of (extended) cycling. Makes me happy knowing others are experiencing new-found joy on theirs. Here's today's view peddling up & out of town, about a dozen miles of climb. I'd had to really be prepared for this without the power assist. Image attached :)

    Getting rads of attention

    I'm getting more attention with this electric bike than I ever got riding my "regular" bikes. I notice people smiling when they see me charging up in public.

    Brooks saddles

    The Brooks B67 is a most comfortable seat on my city bike. The B17 on my road bike is also relatively comfortable. Need a cover to protect these from rain. I'm interested to hear of comfortable rides with that Cambium on an e-bike.

    Thule Easy Fold bike rack for E-bikes

    Looks like a sweet, useful $700 hitch rack. I'll continue using my old Thule hitch mount for now, but start saving for that easy fold :)

    1st ride on Trek w/STePS

    Looks a lot like the Gazelle I had when I lived in Amsterdam.

    Preliminary attempt met with sparks & arcs, so was unsuccessful. Will need to find a better adapter for bike. If someone has a tesla adapter, please let me know. For now the home charger happily offers its services :D

    Sounds like a mostly enjoyable first outing! Wonderful there's a lbs there to get you onto the right ebike.

    Pictures of an E-Bike Adventure

    With our new e-bike issues resolved, my partner & I are greatly enjoying peddling further, faster and higher than we ever would without peddle assist. Thought I'd share a few pictures from the weekend. With charged batteries we peddle assisted from home to get up, up the 2500 hills to see the...

    Getting rads of attention

    Single track with fat tires sounds exciting! Currently I have an xt on my 11 sp mtn bike! Would be great if an xt would work with the radrover's 7 speed.

    2016 Radrover just stopped after 4 miles??

    The battery can be checked with an dc-capable electric meter on the positive & negative terminals, with it turned on. Should read in the 48v range. Good luck getting this resolved.

    Getting rads of attention

    Single track with this bike is impressive! Regularly I still ride my much lighter and better equipped mtn bike for, what I call, single track trails. With all that radrover weight I can imagine the chain may bounce around. Perhaps upgrading to Alivio derailleur might add more chain tension. It's...

    2016 Radrover just stopped after 4 miles??

    Sorry to hear about that experience, but I can relate. I bought 2 radrovers last month and one had a DOA battery. I sent them a short video showing the symptoms and they sent me a new battery. I found the support experience very helpful. Having to wait for shipping is tough, though. In the mean...

    Getting rads of attention

    Thanks to your review my partner & I are happy Rad owners, Court. Fortunately the cockpits fit us well, with only seat and small riser adjustments. That was a fun video of you and others down on the Mexican dunes. I'm inspired to get outside right now and peddle assist myself high up the local...

    Getting rads of attention

    From this description I can picture the balloons, beautiful Sandia mtns and some Radrovers getting attention! I lived many years in the White Mtns of AZ and frequently went to or through Albuquerque.

    Registering Bike

    Last year I had a couple of nice bikes stolen from my house. They were locked in the garage and taken while I was away on holiday. Found out the hard way the importance of registering bikes. The police & others request details to help recover bikes. As there is no program to register bikes here...

    Handlebar bike mirrors?

    I've been benefiting from Mirrycle Mountain Mirrors on 4 different bikes for the past 7 years. Put them on both mine and my partner's radrover. I just don't feel safe on a bike out on the streets without a mirror. This one works well for me and I find it a good value. Sorry to hear someone would...

    Getting rads of attention

    Makes me happy hearing of others who have gotten back into cycling by having the (750W) peddle assist. I imagine owners of many different branded ebikes are having that powerful, youthful experience. While the radrover is a good value, street/trail bike it's not gonna fit all bodies. One must...

    Radrover fenders

    Nice fender install tutorial. Perhaps one will be produced on having both fenders & Rad rear rack attached.
