    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    I have a set of: Sunlite XL Cruiser Tires in 20 x 4 on my RadMini and they work pretty well for road, but they are not light! https://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-XL-Cruiser-Tires-Black/dp/B0063R2X86 I also have a set of 26 x 2.5 hookworms on my RadRover and they work great! Approx 350 miles on...

    Rear Rack installation for RadRover

    My RadRover has a Topeak Super Tourist for Disc Brake Bikes (there's a fat tire version too that probably fits better) My RadMini has a Ibera PakRak IB-RA5. I find the bottom of the RA5 is too high for the bottom clips of my panniers so I don't use them, but it doesn't feel as secure. I have...

    Size Ok for me?

    Anyone know where to get a Cannondale headshok replacement needle bearing kit? Or a BikeE replacement seat back (tall)? I like Juiced (I really like their ODK, except the battery pack can't be easily taken inside for charging) and I think they'll be around for while, but having a late 90's...

    mini battery holder broken at the bottom

    Hey Vincent, That really sucks about the battery holder. Mine is holding up, I ride on a dirt fire road, but nothing really too bumpy. Yeah, RPB's quoted PAS-Speeds are very different from my experience with my RadMini Here are my #'s from the other thread. These were recorded on the same...

    miles per battery on mini vs rover

    Hi Vincent, I found that with the smaller wheels, it requires another level of PAS to maintain the same speed as the RadRover 2016. RadRover .... RadMini 10mph PAS1 8mph 14mph PAS2 11mph 16mph PAS3 14mph 18mph PAS4 17mph 20mph PAS5 20mph RadRover...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Hi Vincent, PAS 1-3 behavior does sound like the controller is acting weird, could the PAS system is loose or the signal from the PAS corrupted by something? (not saying it's aliens... but it's aliens). Yes, with the smaller wheels, using the throttle will take off quick. I do remember some...

    Poor After Sales Service - Rad Power

    Hi Ben, It really depends...from what I've seen they're a pretty small company and balancing shipping, production & customer service can be a challenge. I did find that it took some time, but not too much, for them to reply to my emails. 1st email was when I ordered the black RadRover instead...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Hi Vincent, The RadMini, is very different than my RadRover 2016 PAS 1 From 0-8mph: will ramp @ about 2-3mph to 300w+- (it can go a bit over, but generally tries to stay in this range for all of the PAS levels except 5, which will give you all 750w) PAS 2 From 0-11mph: will ramp @ about...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Hi Vincent, For the RadRover 2016, I did a couple of more tests last night on the way home for PAS 1, 2 & 3. The threshold is 5 mph (as reported on the computer) PAS 1 from 0-5mph, controller will give you 100w until about 2 mph or so then about 200w to 5mph, then 440ish to 10mph PAS 2-5...

    radrover vs radmini ride comfort?

    Actually the Sunlite XL Cruiser https://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-XL-Cruiser-Tires-Black/dp/B0063R2X86 They seem pretty good so far, very quiet... much less buzzy on the roads compared to knobbies. The tread part seemed decently thick when I was mounting them but I didn't really pay that much...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Vincent, I actually, did that too! * Revised after testing PAS 1, 2 & 3. Found threshold to be 5mph as reported on the LCD RadRover 2016 PAS 1 from standstill (I'll repeat this on my way home today and update this thread, this is what I remember from this morning) 0 - about 5 mph: ramps...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    NP, Vincent, These are my first e-bikes, I was trying to get more data to keep track of for comparison to any other ebikes I may try out in the future Sondors Thin looks a bit more weatherproof with the triangle case and may be something I'd like to build into a rainy weather e-bike. My...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Yup, the controller on the RR2016 will use all 750w to get to whatever speed the PAS is set to then back off to maintain the speed. The wattage I put in is 'how many watts to maintain the speed set by the PAS level' RR2016 seems to deliver a smoother push from standstill, but once moving...

    4th flat in 2 months

    Hi Barkme Wolf, That really sucks. What type of flats are you getting? Thorns, pinches? I have an REI Novara Gotham with a double kickstand and when I weigh down the front, the back wheel will come up off the ground. Is that the case for the RadWagon? Since it's longer, it may not tip...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Hi Vincent, I have a 2016 RadRover (bought in June), I did read on the forums that the PAS settings are different between 2015 & 2016 RadRovers, so I'll keep that in mind. When I switched over to the Mini, I noticed the difference in speed @ PAS 1-3 compared to the Rover... Speed @ Mini...

    radmini pas vs radrover

    Hi Vincent, I did some 'testing', on the road last night and this morning during my commute. I forgot my phone so I don't have accurate GPS speeds, so I'll rerun this test next week...mostly out of curiosity, but I'm trying to collect some data on my bikes too. Radmini with tire size set to...
