    Crankset unhappiness

    Yes I was writing my comment and on the back of my head thinking that 5mm might not be enough, since my other 2 bikes have 175mm crank arms I thought that would do. So I'm guessing that the outside circumference of a fat bike is more like a 29er, which is maybe why at full leg extension I can't...

    Crankset unhappiness

    Originally was going to post this for Rad Power Bikes users, but since the RadRover has a generic frame I'm sure it apply to other brands. So, I keep extending my saddle height because my position is just never there. I'm used to ride bicycle where my extended leg is completely straight but...

    EU RadRhino 2018 + Upgrades

    Sure you can adjust it from 25kmh all the way up to 40kmh and/or anything in between whenever you want, as many times as you may decide to do so. To be honest 25kmh is kind of a joke, when you go uphill you need those extra watts, and if the controller is limiting your watts you just never...

    Battery carrying protective bag/case

    @rideaholic that seems a good idea, but because my battery is most is the time wet because of snow I think cardboard will deteriorate fast. @6zfshdb is not so much what I have in my backpack, is just in there is not quite protected. For example when I go to work I put my backpack on a hook...

    EU RadRhino 2018 + Upgrades

    45NRTH Dillinger 4 Review: Before I give my impression on both KENDA and 45NRTH please bear in mind that I have only riden the RadRhino on snow, therefore I have no experience on dry pavement. The short answer is that Dillinger 4 are far better tyres, and I don't mean a bit just better, they...

    EU RadRhino 2018 + Upgrades

    45Nrth Dillinger 4 Well for the price I hope they are the best studed fat tyres around, expect no less. Vee Snow Shoe was another option, but here in EU they are just hard to find

    Build your own!

    Yes researching is where I'm at right now, I don't even know when exactly I want to do this, hopefully at least I will start to buy some stuff in the beginning of next year, frame and the motor at least. Like I have answered to others here, maybe this is just a half DIY, because I know that I...

    Build your own!

    Thanks for sharing, sounds like you had fun with that build and that's exactly what I'm all about the experience of the building, looking forward for the part when you throw things against the wall on frustration and yet the Silver lining among those problems, is all about that. The carbon...

    Build your own!

    I agree 100% with in terms of cost, the easy is always going to be the Branded product, whether you buy for a short or large budget. Now what I see is that bikes are not perfect either cheap or expensive ones, and as you've said is all about getting what you want. I have few frames laying...

    Build your own!

    Yes, I totally agree with you @linklemming that this might not be cost effective, but DIY never is to be honest. But I might just don't see me buying another budget ebike, for me at least. When received the RadRhino I was even considering the RadWagon, but now that I own a budget bike I can...

    Build your own!

    Can't be that hard, right? I'm going to start with that question. So I'm hooked with ebikes, bought myself a RadRhino and just love the bike, it does everything I wanted it to do, which is a winter commuting vehicle, but it has it's limitations. So as I read around it just seems that idea of...

    EU RadRhino 2018 + Upgrades

    Upgrade #1: Winter studded tyres. Today fell for the first time on my RadRhino, but actually the second time on this winter (both cases was while tight cornering). Snow has packed and yesterday was on the plus side so the ice is just calling for victims. To avoid another fall decided to invest...

    Battery carrying protective bag/case

    Hi... Thanks for your answer. I have similar bags on my bike already, what I'm after is more like a sleeve, something to protect my battery while in my backpack, maybe a bit of cushion? I've seen similar products to what I'm looking for but they seem to be made from neoprene (guess to protect...

    Battery carrying protective bag/case

    Hello there... Do any of you use carrying bag with your battery? I usually put the battery in my backpack when I get to work, but in there is not quite protected and obviously can't leave on the bike. So any suggestions for a carrying case/bag? I have a RadRhino/RadRover and it seems that...

    Schwalbe Jumbo Jim

    Hello Recently bought a RadRhino, the bike works fine and all. Now I know eventually I will need to change the tyres, there's nothing wrong with those Kenda Juggernaut but I don't see me buy those again. I'm a Schwalbe guy, all my bike have them so most likely will buy those Jumbo Jim (but in...

    EU RadRhino 2018 + Upgrades

    So after long time of reading about ebikes decided that I just had to buy one and get things rolling... The interesting part was that I wanted a cargo bike, and 'the one' that had everything that I wanted was the 2018 R&M Multicharger, here in Finland that means close to 5000€, yes you could say...
