It wasn't worth refuting... but since you insist... You assert ebikes depreciate 50% in resale price in one year. To back this up, you cite two ebay (EBAY!!! Who sells bikes there?) listings of direct drive rad city bikes, one of their least popular models. I'll assume the current rad city...

Straw man city. If I could have bought a decent one year old ebike at half off list, I would have done so in 2019.

FFS, this is stupid nitpicking. The intent of my post is that one's probability distribution favors early failure and late failure, I did not mean it is impossible for a part to fail in the middle. But my point remains uncontested, that a one year warranty covers the early failure scenario...

One year is fine on a $1500 ebike. Parts are either going to fail fast, or last for a long time. Even there I would have voided that 1 year warranty 3 months early, except the controller/display upgrade was backordered. Having an active online community that is likely to have prior experience...

If you find one let us know. I'm really tired of the Beavis "boooooiiinnnnnngg" noise from mine, but I use it too much to just toss it. The above Click Stand looks great, except it would get stolen within a week where I ride and park. And they'd likely drop my bike onto cement, too.

Stack the two bikes next to each other like you would on the road, and take some measurements. Then look for large grill govers. You still have to worry about grill thieves.

I've towed 70+ lb of groceries home with a stock radrover, using just PAS 3. Had to remind myself to keep the speed under the trailer's 15 mph limit. Used a Titanker over axle trailer hitch, had to replace the bike's flange 12mm nut with a regular nut (M12, 1.75 pitch). If you're going this...

If you can sell me one to two year old used rad power bikes at 50% of retail, I will buy as many as you have, and run laughing to the bank. When asked what my radrover costs, I tell the buyer, $1600 new, $1800 used, because there's no waiting list and someone already assembled it for you. An...

Not sure what point you are making. Are you trying to claim people would rather spend $1600 on a new bike rather than rejuvenating the one they have with a $550 new battery? I don't agree, and neither would any prius owner who's dropped $10k on a battery refresh after 200K+ miles. Prius owners...

Bolton's fat tire folding avenger or crusader. Max weight 330lb. https://boltonebikes.com/collections/folding-ebikes You will have to wait a month or two for delivery.

I live in San Francisco, and often ride in Marin County, and never found a hill my stock radrover would not climb. When after a year I replaced the controller and display for better programmability of the lowest three PAS settings, I had zero interest in replacing the motor. I also have never...

I happened to be looking up the bike friday folding cargo bike, and noticed they offer a folder oriented to smaller riders. Nice and light: https://www.bikefriday.com/folding-bikes/product/bike-friday-specialty-bantam

Bike Friday folding cargo bike. 385lb capacity, folds up into a suitcase. $2500, yeah, but less price unrealistic than some of the suggestions above. Also, they build to order and offer strength upgrades on other models, up to 550lb, so if you're interested it's worth asking. A buddy has their...

Don't take this the wrong way, but since you want significant weight capability and small storage footprint and are asking for only 20 miles range roundtrip, have you considered an electric scooter? I've seen some folks riding fat-wheeled electric scooters that are on the heavy end. Some of the...

Having been around the block a few times on these things, $150 mil could mean they just got a $150 mil cash injection, or it could mean something like $50 mil now, and two more $50 mil tranches if you hit your numbers by the target dates. I couldn't find any news articles with the details, just...

I did, and on any value between 24 and 255 (normal value for me is 100), both throttle and PAS work. If I try to set it below 24 for some reason when I power cycle the bike and bring up the config screen again, it has changed to 87. The manual says: "P1 is motor characteristic parameter...

Interesting, and I'm glad to see new things being done with energy chemistry. But... still requires a hydrogen powered fuel cell, hydrogen is not an economically viable fuel when obtained from electrolysis of water vs. cracking fossil fuels. I could see this finding niche applications where...

I don't think so. You don't want the throttle false activating on signal noise around 0 volts. So a range gap before activation makes sense.

I have that display, and a similar model controller. It looks like you have p3, p4, c4 set correctly to enable the throttle. But I have managed to recreate your symptoms, where "walk mode" works, but throttle and PAS do not: I changed the P2 value away from "5", which is what works with my...
