    Anyone been using a pure sine wave inverter to charge your Rad bike?

    From all this, it certainly appears that the charger is drawing about 1.5 amps at 120v. Which is somewhere around 7-9 amps at 12v, depending on what voltage your batteries are at, due to what the charge controller and the panel(s) are feeding it. An amp is not an amp when you are dealing with...

    Looking to buy Radwagon, questions for owners

    In addition to the trip reset every time it is powered down, there appears to be about a 10 minute "time out" that powers down the display when the bike is not moving. I tried to defeat the trip reset by just leaving my display on (LCDs draw such a minimal amount) as I went into stores or on a...

    Anyone been using a pure sine wave inverter to charge your Rad bike?

    So what does your Kill a Watt meter show the draw of the Rad charger IS at 120v? Besides, the Kill a Watt meter doesnt DIRECTLY figure the amp draw on our battery bank, which is what we are more concerned with. But it will show what the actual AC draw of the charger is while charging. So, TJ...

    Anyone been using a pure sine wave inverter to charge your Rad bike?

    100 watts at 7.8 amps? Arent those both generally figures of consumption of electricity? At what voltage are you talking about 100 watts being consumed or 7.8 amps being drawn? 7.8 amps at 13v? 7.8 amps @ 120v? If you know your panels will produce 4.9 amps @ 17.9 volts, there will probably be...

    Anyone been using a pure sine wave inverter to charge your Rad bike?

    7 amps @ 110/120? Magnums are good inverters and charge controllers. I would trust what they are reading. I did try charging it with my existing MSW inverter in dodgy clouds-and-sun conditions today and it seemed to take a really long time. My house batt is only a single 105ah wet cell, being...

    Anyone been using a pure sine wave inverter to charge your Rad bike?

    Just wondering if anyone has done this for an extended period, i.e., plugging the stock charger into a PSW inverter. I don't doubt that it will charge, but wondering if anyone has experienced reduced performance or failure? I like to do a bit of off-grid camping in the truck camper and try and...

    What's under those plastic caps on the leather hand grip ends?

    Is there a threaded insert for attaching a rear view mirror? They were a little bit stubborn prying out to where the inner plastic cap is sitting just on the inside of the grips. Decided maybe I should ask first before I remove the plastic cap in its entirety.

    Now I know why bikes arrive bent

    We were out front when the Fed Ex truck pulled up to deliver our Rad bikes. We were at the back of the truck as he opened the back door. There, lying on their sides, were the boxes with our Rad bikes. EVERY side of the box has arrows saying "this side up". The two long ends also say "do not...

    Going to the Sun Road!

    I think this post might have gotten a bit more input if you had been specific as to the area you were talking about. Probably only a small percentage of Westerners even knew where you were talking about. I am a Westerner. The NPS service is plowing roads for bikes that ebikes are not allowed...

    2019 Rad Rover tire inflation?

    At what pressure do you think "pinch flats" become greater than a 50% chance? Given that the bike is so much greater at attaining acceleration, attaining a high cruising speed and range than my other manual powered bikes, I will trade off a lot of those for better traction on medium soft dirt...

    2019 Rad Rover tire inflation?

    Just got my bike today. The manual says inflate to 20 psi and dont over or underinflate. But 20 seems awfully firm on dirt. How low can I go on these Kendra Juggernauts? The assembly video said 18-22. No lower?

    Is the Phantom model recently plugged by Costco a ProdecoTech bike?

    If so, has anyone heard ANYTHING about these bikes?
