Except it's not actually true though. I went over the front wheel more than 3 decades ago, on a conventionalSchwinn 10 speed with caliper brakes; I don't know that even was a single commercial ebike or hydraulically braked bike in production then, and yet I was far from the first person to...

I don't believe there is either. In fact I even said that myself in the post you replied to. That fact has nothing to do with my point. They exist, regardless of whether you remember them. The logic of your second sentence, that your personal lack of knowledge of these posts is somehow an...

Definitely agree that it is an improvement (from a Radcity owner who bought one). But I have to say I was amused to hear Court call it "really high quality," becasue there are a number of people here that have upgraded their pre-2019s to this freewheel, and while nearly all think it an...

FYI I did put tow Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus 2" (the ones I posted about earlier) on my Radcity. Still pretty pricey in US, I was seeing around $80-$100 each, but I bought direct from Germany & got them for < $34 Euros each (plus flat shipping, but I was buying a number of things). I've...

Yeah, I've put about a hundred miles on my radcity this winter since putting on Schwalbe Winter Marathon Plus snow tires (210 studs each 26" tire) last month. It has/they have been pretty good for ice -- which we've had here on roads and paths pretty much constantly for a few weeks now in...

Yes, harryS has a good explanation, but the video mrgold posted makes a valuable point to know: if you switch to PAS zero, apparently the direct drive could be *completely* disengaged, and perhaps you can coast like a regular bike. The next time I have non-slippery conditions that I feel...

The battery having a key lock to the frame is one of the things that first attracted me to Radpower bikes. But as others point out, thieves can still steal the whole bike of course, so you have to worry about that. I don't know anything about "skunklock" but so far I've been very impressed...

HarryS answer was great, but an alternative to cracking the throttle you can just slowly continue pedaling while otherwise "coasting." That would arguably be a bit safer (you could hit a bump or slip or whatever and unintentionally rev the throttle)

I haven't ridden mine at all since getting my ebike a comparable time ago (2.5 months), but I'm almost totally a functional rider (commuter) this time of year anyway, and living in the far north I do it to get from point A to point B, not for recreation. Maybe in the spring. But more likely...

I guess as long as you are willig to pay more for your kit. The entire point of Rad's marketing model is that they sell direct to the consumer in order to keep prices lower. And I'm not sure what tools you are looking for that are relevant to this topic (assembly), they literally provide them...

Well there isn't that much to be stealthy about :) It's a nice looker, though

I noted the mirror comment too, but was just gonna let it pass, but since you brought it up ... I've got specific requirements for my mirror and frankly am quite glad it did NOT come with one (I paid for one) since I would probably replace it anyway. On a similar note, if there was a chance to...

Thanks for the report, you make a lot of good points. But I was surprised by the following: Do you have the 2018 model, or old 2017 stock? I've read complaints about the 2017 headlight, but the one on the 2018 I actually find to be pretty bright. Daylight is short enough here in the far north...

Point taken, Drew, but I believe the fully stated moral is actually: two studded tires would have been better than ONE. I'm still working on achieving the "than one" part, aka "better than zero," and I'm pretty sure the that although I'd get benefit from switching the rear too, whatever that...

OK, I've determined the ISO of the stock Kenda tires is 58-559, so regarding the Marathon Winter Plus, which are 50-559, the tire diameter is definitely correct (I've been burned before buying "26" tires that don't fit "26" rims!) but the only question is if there is an issue with it being...

I know this is greatly a matter of preference and circumstance but would appreciate experiences and ideas all the same. In the winter I'll pretty much only ride for commute, not pleasure. I'm primarily looking for something to provide grip (security) on plowed but ice packed roads here in urban...

Yeah, a rocker would probably be easier to do -- I'm probably being too ambitious with the grip twist idea (though I still think it would be the best design). It seems like this should be possible, after all, all the signals coming out of the controller are basically digital (on/off...

AZOldTech, would you mind elaborating, did you actually install one of these on your Rad bike? Including the turn signal function? COuld you elaborate on how you did it, if so, and maybe give a mini-review? thanks.

Curious if anyone has done (or even contemplated) this. One of the most clumsy/fidgety things I find with my RadCity is how you increase & decrease the PAS (the buttons on the left side). You always have to look down to locate the button, and sometimes it doesn't register. It was just an...

aaron, there are a bunch threads with posts by people who've already switched both freewheel and chainring. Search.
