    Hi, all - just got the Rad City step-through and am loving it. I live in Everett, WA - 30 miles north of Seattle. Cheers!

    No experience at all but if it's rated to carry a dirt bike it most certainly would carry your bike. Enjoy.

    I'm appx 180. Flat road, very little breeze. According to GPS I hit 22 mph.

    Why is Pedego so popular?

    I built my own bike for a fraction of the money noted here but I have to note..........I am quite impressed with the service people have noted they have received from their dealers. Free flat repair? Changing out colors? Nice.

    Generally you are correct.

    Adding a throttle to non throttle bikes?

    I just got the bike together so I haven't taken it on an all out ride yet. It's a 36V 15Ah. I think I paid $204 for it. I paid like $189 for the wheel/controller kit. I had the bike but bought two tires as an upgraded tire. That said, it was a first attempt. If I had to put a lot of miles on...

    Adding a throttle to non throttle bikes?

    I am a newbie at all of this but my question would be........why not build your own? Mine was advertised as 750W but being a Chinese product and the insights of others, I'm not sure it actually is, but in the end, Irrelevant to me. I haven't checked the speed accurately yet but with me on it...

    So here it is. I need to do some cleaning up of wires and a little fine tuning but wow, what fun. I'll have some fun for a bit but I can see where a suspension and disc brakes would come in handy. First ride with a proper battery and I threw a brake pad coming downhill and then had a flat about...

    Should pedaling charge the battery? Or going downhill?

    If I remember I'll check my car and see how much regenerative energy I've created. Mine is an Electric/Hybrid. (C-Max Energi). It tells me how many miles I've used gas/electric/Regenerative. I haven't checked it in awhile. It's not a lot. When I was in the mountains the last time I went...

    On the fully charged lawn mower battery. Around the block and...........I have to think it's pretty underpowered at the moment so I wasn't too concerned with the forks but even at that, this is all I'm really looking for.

    I know the lawn mower battery won't work for anything but testing to see if it works. It does so that meant to me it was worth it to get an actual battery that will work. I trust you all on the torque arms. I'll get a set made this week while waiting on the battery. Thanks

    She worked!!! I didn't have the battery fully charged so it was just a short burst but it worked. Now to set it up better and get a battery.

    OK....two pics and questions. I decided I would dump the bag. While I do have quite a bit of electric things, I'm obviously not an electrical engineer. LOL I do understand the relationship to heat and this stuff. Anyway, I took my 40 volt battery and put two spade connectors in it. Took a...

    Yes, it is really a 20" wheel. It's on a folding bike. I will probably upgrade at some point but if this works, I will keep it around. I understand the short comings of a front wheel drive bike. Most certainly have to be aware of surface. Not to be ignorant but I am......Power hubs? As in...

    I'm in the Parkersburg area. Unfortunately appx 5 hours. The bike does have a thumb throttle with a three light display and on/off switch. I'll get more pictures in a bit. I do like the battery technology. I have an electric/hybrid. My lawn mower is electric. Weed eater, drills, saws etc all...

    Thanks........think I would be OK with a battery for a 500W? This is not a long ride bike or going to be rode full out.

    Thanks for the helpful reply. So what do they do? (And I did NOT say, do nothing. I said not needed). Why do I need them?
