    Getting rads of attention

    The Radrover is a great value multi-use ebike, imho. It floats down the streets nicely with as much peddle assist as you need. I tuned it up and rode it as a bike before ever turning on the battery. Heavy, yes, but cruised along the flats with little effort, once it get going. Up hill is a...

    Getting rads of attention

    That's wonderful, being a generous advocate for (e)bikes! I'll keep that in mind, myself. The more, the better. Letting others test drive the bike is awesome. I might take a page out of my old professor's notebook, though, and request a simple collateral, such as a credit card or drivers...

    Q: Has owning an e-bike changed your car driving habits?

    I've been cycling for local errands and fitness for most of my life. The ebike is extending the distance I can go to do most errands and recreate. Living in a rural community where there is limited public transportation. I still fire up the car when I'm taking the canoe or kayak out to paddle...

    Getting rads of attention

    While my inner child gleefully enjoys this new ebike experience, on roads & light trails, my shy adult is a bit self conscious about the attention this ebike gets. My partner & I both have Radrovers and routinely encounter other's inquiries while riding here in Northern California. I've been...

    Radrover fenders

    Those have a nice look and seem like they'll keep bike and rider dry in downpours. I'd be interested to hear how well that head tube attachment works.

    Poor After Sales Service - Rad Power

    Thanks walawn, according to the Shimano site that derailleur is classified for road bikes rather than mtn. Glad to know that the Claris is working well on the radrover for you. I have Shimano xtr components on my real mtn bike and can appreciate how well they perform under pressure. But I have...

    Radrover fenders

    I see this is a useful way to attach rear fender with rad rack! Glad to hear it doesn't bounce. Looks like it is just attached up front with the straps. I'll give this a try myself, thanks.

    I've begun using the On-guard Brute LS on my Radrover. It's wide enough to fit through chain-stay, wheel, then bike stand. Also use their cable lock to secure front wheel and seat. If I still lived in real bike theft capitals like Berkeley or Amsterdam I'd get the mastiff. I've learned to lock a...

    Poor After Sales Service - Rad Power

    I ordered 2 Radrovers and both got wounded being shipped to me here in N. Calif. Was able to get one running by replacing the broken derailleur and hanger from the other bike. My partner has been greatly enjoying commuting her bike to work. I'm waiting to get replacement derailleur, doa battery...

    Hello from Everywhere! Friends and Visits?

    I appreciate the insightful reviews. Inspired me to get a couple Radrover's, one for my partner, one for me. Both got wounded in the shipping. But after swapping a couple parts, one is operating nicely giving my partner lots of joy. The tech people at rad power bikes are being quite helpful in...

    Radrover fenders

    Installed the new Rad fenders and am quite happy with them. Their site should update the image which gives a proper impression of them (like in hfk2's image above). The front fender attaches well and appears to offer good protection from water, mud, rocks... When it ever rains here in N Cal I'll...
