    Radwagon: What bags do you use?

    Just got this for Christmas. It fits well but i haven't ridden with it yet. https://www.amazon.com/ROSWHEEL-Multifunction-Bicycle-Pannier-Carrier/dp/B01CP57Q9K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483158743&sr=8-2&keywords=roswheel%2Bpannier%2B3&th=1

    Radwagon Renegerative Braking activates without engaging brakes

    I have experienced this- On the same hill (a long 60% grade slope approx) when in power assist 3, the motor does not disengage to allow coasting for about a block unless I tap my break. Same hill, same place, same distance, every time. No other issues like it. Once it releases I get up to about...

    Rad Rover Motor Cuts Off Going Up Very Bumpy Trail

    Sounds like a loose connection maybe.

    Does the Radwagon fit in bus racks?

    NO>>>> Radwagon and Radrover both too heavy and long. I can't even take my Radwagon on the Amtrak, too heavy. It is a real disadvantage. It is fairly easy to look up the rack specs for Metro. Having said that, I can't wait until the weather gets better so can start riding to work again.

    With all that weight in the back you have to be prepared to turn slowly as the rear end wants to keep going straight. I have only wiped out on gravel though.

    999 miles in 2 months

    I have never had a passenger but I put a bunch of camping gear on it and tried in out. Under 100 lbs but it wasn't any problem at all.

    Keep your spokes in check. It has been my biggest problem. Was getting a lot of flats but not so bad now that I have Mr. Tuffy tire liners.

    999 miles in 2 months

    I have two batteries I switch out every couple of weeks. I have don't often run my battery down all the way so I don't know if it is any worse. I do a daily trip about 22 miles each way, lots of hills. I keep it in assist level 2 for most of the way but pump it up to 3 for a couple steep climbs...

    RadWagon as Minivan

    Yup, the minivan of e-bikes. That's about right.

    Spoke Help

    I have a Radwagon and the rear spokes have been wearing out very quickly. I have been getting replacement spokes from the manufacturer but I want to try something else. Currently I am looking at Sapim Strong spokes but do not know what I need. I want the strongest spokes available but read...

    Noob question

    I ride a Radwagon 40 plus miles a day. I have had it for 5 months and put 2700 miles on it. So far I had to replace some spokes, get the derailleurs adjusted, replace a cable or two and fix flats. The question is, do i need to be doing any upkeep on the motor? Just want to make sure I don't...

    Radrover speed wobble

    I had some trouble with my Radwagon. Got the tires "trued", all better. Eventually the spokes broke. Keeping the spokes tightened regularly is essential. I found out the hard way that the torque from the motor causes stress on the spokes. I have over 2000 miles on my bike.

    Broke Spokes

    Yeah, I had my Radwagon in for regular check ups. I would say I have had to take it in about every 2 weeks. Had the spokes checked and trued when needed. No cargo, paved trails and roads and keep it under 500w on 16% hills.
