    Chain Replacement

    OK, I dont have the slick Park Tool chain measurer, but the layman's method they describe, using a ruler, shows my chain is more than 1/16" stretched. I will be changing it out.

    Known Issues & Problems with Rad Power Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I am experiencing a loud metallic "pop" when I put a medium amount of downward pressure on a pedal, especially the left pedal, for some reason. I replaced the original pedals, as one had gone bad.......and the "pop" seems to be more frequent. The noise seems to be coming somewhere near the front...

    Chain Replacement

    Can you tell me what symptoms one might experience, if the chain has gone south? I am experiencing a loud metallic "pop" when I put a medium amount of downward pressure on a pedal, especially the left pedal, for some reason. I replaced the original pedals, as one had gone bad and the "pop"...

    Battery Tray for RadCity 2019 48V pack

    Probably a substantial space limitation. Maybe they live in a small apartment, with no garage.

    Friend considering a used '18 Rad Rover. What is diff from the '19 model?

    I believe the link on Amazon you have posted is for the 2018 freewheel, correct? I do remember that my 2019 model has an 11-34 freewheel, and it was touted as "new for 2019". So, the rear taillight was powered by AA batteries or something? Did the 2018 use the same Shimano derailleur line? The...

    Battery Tray for RadCity 2019 48V pack

    I think that's the 110.00 option that they are disdaining as too expensive.

    What about the wheel bearings in a Rad Rover?

    How does one go about taking this front assembly apart and lubricating it? I have the wheel off and have removed the rubber cups over the nuts.

    What kind of grease did you use? Standard automotive wheel bearing grease? Something lighter duty?

    Time to buy new tires for my Rad Rover

    I will have gotten around 1000 miles on the originals on my 2019 model. Thinking about going FATTER!!! I ride in a lot of sandy conditions in Mexico. Will the Maxxis Minion 26 x 4.8 tires fit on my wheels?

    Battery charge times 2019 Rover

    Yeah, if my battery is only down two bars on PA3 when I get home, I usually dont charge it until the next time. This usually means that PA1 and 2 are showing only down one bar. Virtually all of my rides are 10-20 miles on level ground.

    Battery charge times 2019 Rover

    My 2019 OEM charger is a 2 amp charger, not a 1 amp. The charging times in the OP are about what I am seeing. One thing I will say, I dont expect my OEM charger to last too long. The charging body itself literally gets too hot to hold after only about 15 minutes of charging. Anybody else...

    Are wire bead tires compatible with the wheels on a 2019 Rad Rover?

    Based on my searching, I get the feeling that Vee is not making the Speedster anymore. Their direct links on Amazon no longer shows them and the link on their direct site is a 404. It appears they have a new sales site (shopvee tire or something like that) and the Speedster in the 26x3.5 size is...

    Are wire bead tires compatible with the wheels on a 2019 Rad Rover?

    I did ask Rad about this. All they reply is to buy one of their existing tires that I already have or go to a bike shop and ask them if you want something different. So, I guess I am headed to a LBS......

    What is the range of tire sizes possible on a 2019 Rad Rover?

    Clearly, it came with 26 x 4. How much narrower can I go?

    Hello from Tim, Long Island NY.

    Sounds really interesting, Tim. I envy your skills. I have a Rad Rover w/o fenders but I ride in dry areas (Boise, ID in the summer-Mexico in the winter). I did opt for the rear rack and have panniers on the back so not much SPRINKLER water gets through, back there. But a front one might be nice.

    E-Bikes Now Allowed in National Parks!

    It should be pointed out that this does not allow ebikes on trails that regular bikes weren't previously allowed on. There are many hiker/equestrian only trails..........as I feel there should be. BTW, this was a Dept of the Interior directive, so it also covers BLM land. I did not make a...

    Kickstand separation anxiety

    I took my key to the best locksmith in the Boise area. He immediately recognized it as a blank that Yamaha motorcycles had/have used. 5.00/key beats the 15.00/key from Rad Power Bikes.
