Nice haul, 13 miles is really light usage. Btw, the 2016 have a slightly lower top tube for better standover height. I'm also 5'6" and I still have plenty of seat post left for adjustment. Here's a pic of how much:

Stock speed it 20 mph, that's supposed to be the legal limit. But there is a setting you can set, in setup mode, where you can set it to 40 kph which corresponds to 24.85 mph. And also set the wheel size to 28" while you're at it. And yeah, it's not that hard to pedal fast enough in the...

Sounds like a good enough deal to me. $700 is a lot to save. I have the 2016 but would have taken such a deal. If only just to get a taste of electric biking. And if you want, you can always sell it later and get the newer version for minimal lost.

So I received the 5" LED light. It's supposed to be for motorcycles but I don't believe that at 5w, it's actually bright enough for a motorcycle. Anyway, it's bright enough for me on a bike. I haven't connected on the bike yet as I'm still waiting for a stepdown converter, this one. I connected...

Is that the new fender from RPB's website. I forgot where but I saw something about the newer front fender being longer than the tiny one they had before. Yours look better than the one pictured on their website.

Heh, nice light show.

I'm thinking of replacing the dinky stock light with a more robust unit, something for a motorcycle. Probably something like this one. Just drill a hole between the two stock holes in the plate of the headlight and mount it in the current spot on the bike. And then regulating the voltage with...

I just used matte black vinyl that I got cheaply at Amazon 12" by 10' for something like $8. Under certain reflections you can see the outlines but good enough. Plus it peels off if I didn't like it. walawn suggested Plastidip, I don't have experience with that but sounds good too. The 2015...

I'm using the right side right now. Yep, fits a standard water bottle cage. Edit: I didn't know about the lower one. Just looking at one of my pics, I can see it, but looks very low so access might be a touch difficult.

Yeah, clear coated on 2016. I just use some matte black vinyl cut to size. They are pretty cheap on Amazon or ebay.

Bag mod and debadging to 2016 model. I was going to leave just RAD but then I realized the right side the RAD would be on the bottom, as written. So I left it the same as Mike. And the bag mod still could use a little straightening, but overall, looks OK. Looks like the triangle is smaller with...

I have the rubber door issue too on the battery. I have to take a little screw driver to tuck it in. Ouch though on the damage. Mine came out fairly good, but it was just shipped to Norcal.

I noticed in a review that the earlier bikes have a chainguard on both the inside and the outside of the chainring. My mid-June shipment RR only has the guard on the outside. That might be why some are falling off easier. Plus they are now using 104mm 4 bolt chainrings instead of the 5 bolt...

Whoa, I just realized I could mount my old seatpost-mounted tail light to this rack. Just take the light off of the mounting hardware and use two layers of double sided tape plus zip tie the tab on the back of the light to the narrow part of the rear plate. Two layers of tape makes it a bit...

Heh, I usually say that to the ladies. Except for the paint part. :) Edit: I actually don't saying it out loud, just maybe in my head. :(

Thanks for recommending the rack. I installed mine today. The 2016 Radrovers have all the eyelets for an easier installation. Here's mine. I think the only further mod I want are the Big O fenders, if they ever start offering the install hardware again (or some of us finding fitting hardware).

Interesting that you got a flat so quickly. I saw another youtuber having a flat on his fat tire Radrover early on also. I guess it the hazards of having such a large contact area. I went ahead and put some Slime into my Radrover tires after seeing this. As a comparison, I rode road bikes for...

An update for my flat handlebar mention in last post. Have it installed. Took about an hour, together with flipping the handlebar stem total. Based on my own maybe not that accurate measurement, with bike leaning against the wall which may vary a little depending on amount of lean, it took a...

Regarding DYI hardware for the Big O fenders, I think I found 1 piece of the puzzle. Our front forks don't have eyelets so it needs some clamp on type eyelet. Home Depot has these clamps they call "loom clamps." They have various sizes like 1-1/8", 1-3/8", 1 1/2", 1-3/4". Our Fork size should be...
