    PAS on hills

    I did not see that. They dropped the mini and city so fast I didn't have a chance to check them both. Then it's just the frame. If I could I would trade my Rw for a RC I think. Again, I have not road tested the RC so who knows. The front "shocks" are a huge factor. The RW is a rough ride, no joke.

    Throttle vs. No throttle

    I can dig it. I need to learn how to check my spokes. Other than that, after getting tire liners I just take it in for tune ups and broke spokes now and then. If I had the money though, I would get a real fast monster bike. Your LBS should be able to work on what ever bike you get. I bought...

    Throttle vs. No throttle

    I had a good test ride on one. Lot's of great features but out of my price range.

    Due to the ability to take on the bus and front suspension I would have absolutely opted for the RadCity but would have been disappointed about the re-gen and the frame alloy (RadWagon is steel). I would rather have the RC and wish I had the RW than vice versa.

    PAS on hills

    I have not tried the Radcity but it seems like it is the only practical design they have that works with a bus commute. I am using mine for commute, grocery runs and camping so the cargo is sort of essential (a mini-van). I sure would love to have a second bike to use exclusively for work that...

    HELP! Need to buy spokes

    I have a LBS I trust to do the work but I have found most shops are trying to "sell me" instead of "provide for me". In most cases I can find what I am looking for, given the search parameters but the variables for this item are complicating my results. After reading several online articles and...

    Throttle vs. No throttle

    IMO- It is better to have a throttle and not need it than need a throttle and not have it. Has anyone mentioned it is really fun to bust loose and throttle around a parking lot? Because it kind of is.

    PAS on hills

    I wish I had a Radrover in addition to my Radwagon. Radcity looks pretty sweet too.

    PAS on hills

    Testimonial: I had not ridden a bike since the late 80s. I smoke and am generally lazy but at a healthy weight. I was having back problems and the seats on the bus were not helping. I got my e-bike on a Friday and by Monday my back was feeling better (did PT to fix it). After 2 months I put...

    PAS on hills

    To be clear, I have never had an issue with over heating but have almost never run the motor over 500- 550 on a hill (I am poor and am overly cautious about my investment). Over 2200 miles on it in under 6 months.

    HELP! Need to buy spokes

    I need to re thread my rear wheel and am having much trouble finding new spokes. Last time I tried to let my LBS order something for me they did the old bait and switch (I didn't fall for it though) so I want to order them myself. This is for a rear wheel with a hub motor on the Radwagon (Link...

    PAS on hills

    Hour and a half in car on a good day. When it is not rush hour it is a 45 min drive by car, easy. This is why I quit driving years ago. Even though the bus takes longer, I can get stuff done durring the commute. Kingsinger- are you in my NW electric bike group on FB? Not a lot of posts since...

    PAS on hills

    I am only going About an 1:30 flat out no rest stops but I take my time and enjoy the view so I do it in about 1:45. I use a few short cuts Googles isn't hip to. On the bus it takes 2-3 hours depending on if the transfers match up. Same trip in a car varies but the one time I clocked it...

    PAS on hills

    Hate to differ with you and maybe I am confused but my research shows: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/steepest.htm I ride from Renton to Redmond and run up several long steep hills greater than 15%. I keep my PAS set at 2 regular and 3 on hills, haven't had an issue in over 2000 miles...

    PAS on hills

    According to Radwagon Users Manual "Do not climb hills steeper than 15% in grade." I called them about this and they said it should read that power output should be kept under 500w on hills steeper than 15% in grade. They said they would update the manual to show this error but have not yet...

    Radwagon Renegerative Braking activates without engaging brakes

    It turns "OFF" when I "tap" my breaks. It stays engaged after I stop peddling to cost and either disengages itself after a block or if I "tap" the breaks.Only in assist 3 and only on one particular hill. It isn't a big issue because of the rarity.

    Groceries and bike security

    I have been taking my bike right inside with me. So far no one has given me issues. Load the groceries into my bike bags. It really isn't any bigger than a cart.

    Really? Would this be helpful with my model?

    RadMini bike bag

    Finding a place for a water bottle on the Radwagon is also a chore.
