    Upper Speed Limit of Rad Runner 1?

    I ordered my Rad Runner 1 with the optional LCD display. I reset the top speed to 40 kph (24 mph ). However the motor still cuts off pedal assist at 20 mph (32 kph ). Is this unique to the Rad Runner 1?

    Aventon Sinch fat tire electric bike review

    Wow! I would be surprised if that hits the US market as the "E-Trek". Also I don't think it is the first foldable with dual suspension.

    Aventon Sinch fat tire electric bike review

    He sells primarily the 350 and 500 models both high step and low step. He also stocks the Level but not as plentiful as the other models. He doesn't really stock the Sinch because folders do not sell well.

    Radmini 3rd party rear rack and fenders

    Does anyone have or know if a Racktime rear rack will fit a Rad Mini 2020? I see this as a great advantage because Racktime has so many bag and basket accessories that can be interchanged without having to unbolt them from the rack as with Rad accessories.

    One of the benefits of buying local is that the bike should be set up perfectly before delivery. Any respectable LBS will test ride the bike before delivering a new bike or repairing an older one.

    Aventon Sinch fat tire electric bike review

    I like electrek for a quick overview but it is not comprehensive. I agree that he really went overboard on the weld guality. I have a local bike shop who now sells Aventon pretty much to the exclusion of his other brands. The Aventons sell so quickly that they are the only bikes in the shop for...

    Yes, a suspension post will raise the minimum seat height. Lucky find on the Runners. Good luck and enjoy them.

    Consumer Reports Test 5 Bikes

    You know ebikes have arrived when Consumer Reports tests them. It was a very basic article but they did test 5 bikes ranging from $600 Nakto to the Raleigh Retrograde Royale 2.0 at $2600. They did not rank them as best or worst but did evaluate gualities of performance and ride and power with...

    Rad Runner Single Speed Advice

    Thank you for the description of your experience. I installed the Suntour suspension seat post on my commuter bike and it is fantastic. I would suggest you install that along with a new seat. The Suntour seat post is available on eBay for a lot less than Rad Power Bikes sells them. I plan to...

    Rad Runner Single Speed Advice

    I hear you ERD. Not being able to test ride makes it hard to "pull the trigger" on the purchase. I was in Vancouver last year and I did go to the Rad Power Bike store there and test drove the Runner. Of course in Canada the maximum wattage for the hub motor is 500 watts versus 750 here in the...

    Opinion on Rad Runner Single Speed Drive Train

    Thanks for the suggestion. Curiously I did post this first on the Rad Forums. The post received over 50 views (last time I checked) but not one reply. ???

    Opinion on Rad Runner Single Speed Drive Train

    Thanks for the feedback. I think anywhere but Florida and a single speed would be a non-starter for me. I have been riding my Qualisports Volador in PAS 1 using only the 14 tooth cop and it has been very doable except for some longer inclines.

    Opinion on Rad Runner Single Speed Drive Train

    I am seeking the experience of Rad Runner users on the single speed setup. I am interested in the Runner for utility use. The Rad Wagon is more than I need. I have a Qualisports Volador with a 350 watt/40 nm motor vs the Runner 750 watt/80 nm. The Volador is 40 lbs vs the Runner 60 lbs. Living...

    Handlebar Replacement Raleigh Miceo Sport IE

    Thanking all for your replies. More to think about than I realized. Now I'm thinking this is a bigger project than I first thought as it appears that I will need longer hydraulic brake lines and re-cable to the derailleur. The LCD screen should be okay as it is center mounted over the...

    The bike is not mine but my neighbor's. I will tell him this but as far as I know the battery and charger are fine. He did mention the LCD problems to the dealer but nothing was done about it. I will bring this up with him again. Thank you.

    Handlebar Replacement Raleigh Miceo Sport IE

    Has anyone ever done a handlebar replacement for the Raleigh Miceo Sport IE? I had an adjustable stem put on by the dealer when I bought the bike to give me a more upright position but it is still forward enough that over the years I have developed neck and shoulder pain while riding. I was...

    My neighbor has the Pace 500. His bike was delivered with a faulty battery. He couldn't go 10 miles even though the charger and battery leds showed a full charge. He returned the battery to the Aventon dealer here in town and it was replaced along with a new charger. His battery charge level...

    Can the Dolphin 2.3 inch tire be fitted on the Volado rims?

    I don’t know beyond Super Moto X but these are Ebike rated, have 3mm green guard puncture protection, reinforced side walls. Tire pressure recommended @ 30-60 psi. I run them at 40 psi. Very comfortable. e

    Can the Dolphin 2.3 inch tire be fitted on the Volado rims?

    I was finally able to get my LBS to install the Schwalbe Super Moto X 20x2.4 tires on my 2019 Volador. What a difference over the stock tire! Highly recommend doing this if you want better handling and ride quality. Turns out to be a fantastic upgrade. If I were buying new today I would buy...
