    I love my Radrover but......

    I now have over 750 miles on my Radrover and am very happy with it. However, I would like the handlebars to be a couple of inches higher. I went to my LBS and was told that there was not enough slack in the wires to put spacers in and raise the handlebars. I am now considering the Ergon GP5...

    Extending Battery Life

    Well, I went on my bike ride today and for unimportant reasons my ride was cut short at 43 miles. However, of the 5 bars, I had two left (I was five miles into the 4th bar). Therefore, I think I can easily get 50 miles plus if I stay conservative with the peddle assist. I stayed in PA 1 and 2...

    Extending Battery Life

    I am preparing for a couple of bike ride events both have days which will include 50 mile treks. My Rad Rover battery should last for approximately 30 miles. However, today I went 25 miles and stayed mostly on PA 1 and 2. My first bar went away after 21 miles. Does this mean I could potentially...

    Radrover fenders and the 1Up USA Rack

    I recently bought a Radrover and Radcity Step-thru. I also got the 1 Up USA Super Duty bike rack to transport the bikes. All is going well, however I want to get fenders for the Radrover. The step-thru bike came with fenders, so when I clamp down the arms of the bike rack, the arms come down...

    DIY or Bike Shop?

    I took advantage of the cyber Monday sale and bought a Radrover for myself and a Radcity for my wife. Put them together myself. You guys were right.... not much to it. I made a couple of correctable mistakes, but no big deal. Took a couple of short rides with both bikes. Then my wife says, " I'm...

    Radrover assembly help

    Just got my Rad rover today, got it out of the box and unwrapped it. I put on the stem clamp. I took off the rubber nut from the fork protector and cannot get it to come off. The video makes it look like you just lift the forks off the protector very easily....not for me. Has anyone had this...

    Waiting for our bikes....bike rack question

    As suggested I called the folks at 1 Up USA and asked the question. Since Radrover is only 5 lbs more than the Radcity, they said it didn’t make any difference which tray I convert for fat tires. So, as suggested I converted the tray closest to the vehicle. Thanks for the good advice!

    DIY or Bike Shop?

    OK, all your comments have been very helpful and after watching the videos, I'll be attempting to put the bike together myself. As I stated earlier, I will be in Arizona in February and plan to test ride the Radrover. However, with Rad's BlackFriday/CyberMonday sale, I'm thinking about buying...

    DIY or Bike Shop?

    Thanks for all the good feedback. Another reason I'm considering the LBS is to give them some business. I feel bad not buying a bike from them, but they have nothing that can come close to the Radrover in price. I feel like I want to support their business so they'll be around in the future...

    DIY or Bike Shop?

    I'm about 80% sure that I'm going to purchase the Radrover, however I want to test ride one first. I'll be going to Scottsdale, AZ in February and plan to rent one for a few hours at Phatride USA. This will be my final test before I pull the trigger on a purchase. The folks at Phatride said that...

    Radrover or Radcity?

    I considering my first ebike and am very intrigued with fat tire bikes (really like the looks of the Radrover). I have a Specialized hybrid bike that I ride mostly on concrete, but once a year I go on a 3 day crushed rock ride. I want to start riding more dirt/crushed rock trails and at age 64...

    Travel Azteca

    Thanks for the feedback. I’m actually thinking more of a fat e-bike or cruiser e-bike. Very interested in the Rad bikes. The Radcity looks comfortable, but I’m not sure it’s good off road.

    Travel Azteca

    Does anyone own or at least ridden the Trivel Azteca bikes (fat tire or regular)? I'm shopping for my first ebike and this just caught my eye. It seems impractical for my purposes and potential problems (low hanging chain, feet near the wheel on sharp turns). But it looks so cool....I was just...

    Hey Larry-new, Do you ever take your Rad City on gravel or dirt trails? If so, how did it perform?
