They work great! I did briefly mount them under the handlebars, but then I realised my arm was even more in the way, and that if I am going to do that, I need to move them further inboard. I was too lazy to do that, so for now, they are back in the original position, where I can see well enough...

The ADA1990 is now 32 years old and desperately needs modernization.

In my case, I have a permanent partial disability, a wrecked right knee from a rollerskating crash in Seattle in 2013. I had to use a cane for many years afterward, and still require it from time to time, especially if I know I am going to be out and about walking for several hours. While I can...

I don’t know, it’s a risk. I bought a RadPower bike, and it had an issue which was not discovered until the bike was fully assembled and I went to install accessories. My only real option was to deal with the issue on my own, or disassemble and repackage the bike and ship it back to RadPower...

My RadMission, today, with Hafny E13 mirrors (silver), Nite-Ize Wraptor mount for my iPhone, and Fenix PD36 TAC flashlight on a Fenix ALB-10 handlebar mount. I know it’s a bit tough to see the bits, but it’s the most recent picture I’ve taken, mainly to show off the panniers to my friend who...

What you are missing is the risk of catastrophic failure of Li-ion cells. As other commenters have pointed out, multi-cell battery packs need to have the cells closely matched, and if they get out of balance or there is a cell failure, the good cells will start charging the bad cells, with a...

A kind and generous friend sent me a set of panniers she wasn’t using any longer. I had to remove my milk crate to put them on, but I will figure out a way to quickly mount and remove the milk crate so I can use the panniers for grocery shopping.

FWIW, I got my Cat Eye back in September, and I’m still on the first alkaline AA I put in it. I carry a spare for when it dies, but I’d say 8 months of grocery shopping an average of twice a week at night is pretty good battery life.

Yes, that's quite clear.

If there is any learning curve associated with throttle-only use, I can only surmise it must be dependent on how much torque the motor produces and how smoothly the throttle operates/ramps. My RadMission supposedly produces 50 N-m torque and the throttle operation is linear and smooth. However...

Exactly this. My hub motor feels perfectly natural to me. There is nothing about mid-drive that would make it feel any better. I pedal, the motor helps seamlessly, or I twist the throttle, and the bike smoothly accelerates. A lot of people simply believe whatever propaganda is put in front them...

I got my first motorcycle, a Kawasaki EX500, in 1988, and my first ebike this past week. Learning to ride with a throttle was not an issue. It works just like a motorcycle, just a lot slower. As far as speed goes, I fand that assist level 1 is not quite enough, but level 2 is a little bit too...

My bike has both throttle and pedal assist on all settings except "no assist", in which case it is throttle-only. There's no difference between the two in terms of power or speed—it's the same motor and the same battery. I would never buy a bike without a throttle, and I don't need people who...

It's not the 19th Century, anymore. The population of the Earth has exploded, and activities that once might have been low impact with sparse population are high impact with dense population. Our society's unwillingness to grasp the basic facts of environmental damage are why the planet is not...

I have a Cat Eye Auto Rapid 3 tail light mounted to my milk crate. I don't like lights with proprietary, non-replaceable batteries, and the Auto Rapid 3 takes a single AA battery. Sadly, it's a discontinued model, so I sort of wish I had bought two, so I would have an extra as backup.

They got back to me last night. The headlamp supplied with the RadMission does not work for mounting on the Front Mounted Basket. They are shipping me their "Standard Headlamp" (which is used on all their other models) free of charge.

No worries, I'm a disabled woman of color in the LGBT community, so I don't patronize companies with blatantly sexist, racist, ableist, homophobic, or transphobic policies or practices, if I can help it.

No sense in replacing what you already have. There's no undoing the past.

I'm aware of all of this. That doesn't make the limits any less arbitrary.
