Yes, both are good options, or this: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/mini-auxiliary-lights/10w-mini-aux-2in-modular-led-off-road-work-light/1699/ They would be fine running tapped into the battery, but is the control system on the computer OK to draw 10 watts instead of 1 watt? I...

I've had my share of flats on regular bikes, but yes... I attribute it to the garbage innertubes supplied with the radmini, "meh" tires, and bad luck with sharp gravel. Also, I may have been riding with too much pressure, I had the stock tires at max pressure when it happened. I'm more confident...

No, I just meant finding a suitable rear light that would run off the existing system, using the computer to switch on and off would be difficult due to the voltage... sorry If I misunderstood your question.

I am assuming the front light is the same as the Radmini (appears so). I checked and it is supplied by 48v! This makes it tricky to find replacement lights, especially for the rear LED. I did find a bright 10W ATV headlight that runs on 48V; it was pricey and I decided not to get it. Another...

Also, on a ride tonight I decided to make a quick video:

Hi all, just wanted to give a quick report on the new freewheel on the Radmini. I went on a 13 mile ride, and for the first time was able to use pedal assist efficiently... could pedal and help at 20mph speeds quite well. On a bike trail with periodic slowdowns for crossing streets or...

Just went for a shakedown ride. All good. The brakes are FIXED. I think the stock rotors had a thick spot. No more vibration when braking!! The Outerdo rotors from amazon get a thumbs up. The freewheel allows good assist past 25mph. The derailleur needs to be tuned, not surprising. I am...

Count me in too! That guy's going to have to get used to it because I'm noticing more ebikes every day. The W&OD is awesome, it goes all the way from Arlington to Purcellville, past Leesburg, 40 miles total. It gets increasingly rural as you get away from the city. I do feel less self...

@walawn I'm in west Falls Church, about 5 miles from you. In the other thread you said people made comments... was that on the Custis or W&OD? I have had a couple of friendly or curious comments, but nothing bad. I try to drive slowly around people, dial it down to 2 or 3, the riders on racing...

Yes, that is a cool bike, and with almost a KWH of energy! My ghetto fenders have better coverage though :p Would be interested in checking out the bike. I wonder how much it weighs? So I found the culprit of the flat which sent me on the original mission to optimize the radmini for my...

Hi Nick, I set to 22" just to get accurate speed and distance, and it felt pretty much the same to me, but I already had the slick tires on there. I think the 26" setting would lead the speed limit to kick in before you have achieved the top speed of the motor, since it "thinks" it's going 20...

Thanks Scott. Unfortunately I had misinterpreted the photo and instead of cutting the tool into two halves, I cut a slot, so it flexes too much. I did try supporting it as you mentioned to no avail. I don't have a good vice or tools to go through it again. The tool I ordered this time is the...

UPDATE: I spoke to Rad and after a few questions they are sending a new controller. I told them I was concerned about having the same problem, and they said these have improved MOSFETS. Good customer service. Bad MOSFETS seems to be a problem that is not unique to Rad but has also surfaced...

Took the mini for a spin to see how the fenders held up... great, no issues. But 5 miles out there was a little pop and the motor stopped working. Left a message with Rad tech support. 5 miles in the sun with no motor turns the mini into a pig, but it coasts nicely on any slight downhill. I...

Here's my homemade front fender. It's kinda ugly, but could be worse. Used coroplast, steel rod from the hw store, about the thickness of a coat hanger, brass tube, an L bracket, and zip ties. Plus a little epoxy to keep the brass tube from sliding. I'm going to add a mud flap made from the...

If you don't require folding, I'd consider the Juiced ODK. It also has a geared hub motor/20" wheel, more battery capacity, with a massive 400lb capacity. If I were your weight I would probably get the ODK. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

I can compare a hill... there's one that has me pushing pretty hard on a road bike, maybe lowest gear in the middle ring or even into the smallest ring on front, and the Radmini cruises up it on throttle at 15mph,and you can hear the motor working harder, I usually help it. Climbs my short...

That's a nice cargo setup. So many options for these racks, I think people tend to overlook the 100lb cargo capacity for average sized riders (60r/40f if rider is 175 or less). Folding-mini-cargo-fatbike-electric. Takes me back to my previous ebike in 2005, I think, which was a steel trek MTB...

Vlad - that bag looks really nice. I now have 50 miles on the RM, but 20 of that was yesterday and today. Messing with the tires had me down on fat bikes, but riding it is so smooth, I just go right over manhole covers, etc, that would have me dodging on my touring bicycle. So, the brakes...

So these tires were hard to seat properly. Looking at the seating indicators I could see part of the bead, on both wheels, was under the rim. I decided to mount them and see if they would pop in riding. Not a good idea; waste of time. The bike was cavitating because the tires were so uneven...
