It's a Mirrycle! Mirror that is. Probably has the most following in these forums. I have them on every one of my 2-wheelers, and that's too many -- 2-wheelers, that is... Good luck.

I put these swept back handlebars on my RADMini. It allows me to sit upright when riding. I had to do some cable switching and must remove one cable from the grip when tipping the bars for fold up. But I never fold it anyway, so is no problem. I put the H-Bars on my RADRover for better...

RADMini handlebars won't tilt like they do on the RadCity ST simply because of the requirements of being able to fold up the bike. The RADcity is actually tighter and easier for shorter women because of the swept back handlebars and shorter distance between seat and handlebars. Like the...

Hi JanF, Possible the dead bolt is hanging up at its tip. Try cranking the key all the way counter-clockwise while lifting the battery. Go ahead and check the battery on the other bike, and you will see how it all works. If that one is hung up too, I'd probably send them both back. What's that...

No Problem EasyRiderDude, When I bought mine I did a review and you might find some other useful info included in the thread. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/rpb-radmini-step-thru-cycle-or-scoot.28024/ BTW This is how your avatar shows up on my compoot. LOL

Hi EasyRiderDud, I'm just under 6 feet tall and never saw the height of the handlebars as any concern, and they sit today at the same height they were when the bike was delivered over a year ago. The handlebars sit on a two section riser assembly that allows the upper section to be raised or...

Hello Panama Vic, That's EXACTLY why they came up with the Step Thru model. I tried to convince them that a miniature Rover with 24 inch wheels would make a lot of people happy and even increase sales. But they finally came up with a better idea in 2020. If a young whippersnapper of 50 or less...

Hi Graysco242, Probably not hurting anything. It's nice to have a full charge when starting out just in case you want to take the long way home. I usually make shorter trips and can go a couple of weeks before the battery needs a charge. But I'm also not going to be stranded miles from home...

Jones bars work great out in the desert too... I put these bars on my Mini... Jones Bikes

Hello Moonlight, welcome to the RAD Forum. I think you are right about an e-bike being the perfect solution. I got my first when I retired at age 70. That was three years ago and I have been riding every day, both city streets and off-road gnarly stuff. RAD supplies a toolkit and it is small...

Something doesn't compute! Either the 10% incline is bogus or something is wrong with the bike. The last mile I ride before arriving at home is on a 10-15% incline. I also have a 2018 RADCity Step Thru with no conversions made to the running gear. It is virtually stock in that regard, and it is...

Nah, don't need a doctorate. Just MORE POWER! Stay electric. https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/model/zero-ds Keep the step-thru too, but just ride it downhill. Hope that helps...

I have four RADs and they all go the same places the Rover will, except the Rover does everything a little better. You already have the Mini, makes sense to get the Rover for those long rides when you want a good work-out.

The Suntour suspension post can be pushed all the way down resting on the top of the seat tube without the bottom of the post hitting anything. I have mine raised one inch with a measurement between the pedal at its lowest position to the top of my seat at 30 inches. I stand 5'11" and that...

Excellent! Another little adjustment that makes a world of difference is to scoot the seat forward on its rails.

Hi TerryV6 In my thread titled "RPB RadMini Step-Thru - Cycle or Scoot" I did at least one handlebar adjustment. On my first ride I noticed the distance I was reaching forward to hold the handlebars was leaning my body forward rather than allowing me to sit upright. It just might be she needs to...

That's interesting. A standard utility version and now a deluxe version of the same bike. The one speed version seemed OK to me because my bikes never leave seventh gear or pas 5 when riding on city streets, even for hills. But I still wouldn't give them up since the gears and pas levels get...

It's always convenient having one or two extra bikes available. All mine are RADs so I have a few extra batteries available for when needed too. Happy Trails and have lots of fun riding your new Mini's.

Hi TerryV6 I use the same setup as mrgold35 on my RadMini ST and all the others. The safety line is a fail-safe for the heavyweights to observe. If you buy the Suntour SP12 you will notice the post is thicker and so the safety line sits fairly close to the bottom end. I'm 5'11" and only have the...

STABILIZE A STEP-THRU BATTERY While performing routine maintenance I always finish up by checking for missing or loose bolts and will look for anything that seems abnormal. In one such check I noticed some wobble in the battery. Now that didn't seem right. The battery should sit perfectly solid...
