    Rad mini step thru seat post adjustment

    I've had the C9 for several months on my Rad Mini, my wife's BIKEROO seat was just installed last week and I have not ridden her bike yet. I will ride hers in the next couple of days and let you know about the difference between the two. Due note that installation of the two seats will require...

    Rad mini step thru seat post adjustment

    I agree with your seat post thoughts, but remember most who purchase the Rad Mini's don't ride them off road under the extreme conditions that you would ride the Rad Rover or other mountain bikes of better quality, etc. When I say we ride our Rad Mini's off road were mainly talking hard packed...

    New Rad bike announcment 3/26?

    I guess the new Rad Runner was produced to compete with the Super 73 and other ebikes of that style. I personally think the Super 73 is priced on the higher side for what you get, that is compared to a Rad Mini you get so much more for you money. The Rad traveling road show came to Ft. Worth...

    Rad mini step thru seat post adjustment

    We have two Rad Mini Step Thru's, I'm 6'1" and the wife is 5'7" and I find the top seat setting ok for my riding style, I have the C9 Seat and the wife has the BIKEROO. We ride in level 2 and use the throttle on hills, were happy with this setup.

    New Rad bike announcment 3/26?

    Don't see it, we have the Rad Mini's at $1499 and they fold, the new Rad Runner is at $1699. I see you get the bigger seat which you could use some of it as a rear rack, but I personally would just have the Rad rear rack for $80. I personally wouldn't buy it over the Mini for my type of use.

    Radmini cargo rack alternative?

    I purchased those bags on Amazon, can't remember what the price was, but I think around $18. Due note here, I found two different ones on Amazon, both were identical except for the logo on the bag and the price difference was around $10 difference between the two. I would recommend this bag as...

    Mini vs Full Size Bike for Seniors?

    For myself the lightweight folder would not be to my liking, I personally like the looks and feel of the 20" fat tire folders for our riding needs. Now I can see where these fat tire folders would not work for may, they are not easily carried because of there weight and are on the bulky side...

    Rad mini assembly question concerning front wheel

    I had the same problem, then upon inspection I found the front brake cable pulled out of its resting spot on the spindle, thus making the cable longer and pulling the brake pads closer to the brake rotor. I do think when removing the bike for the shipping box the cable caught on some packing...

    She Fell in Love With Her Commute After Replacing Her Car With an Electric Cargo Bike

    I would stay where the money is and ride bikes as a hobby, money in the bank will assure you of the bike you want anytime.

    Why do so few brands offer 52V (volt) batteries?

    My personal feeling on this is, if you keep pushing for more power and speed you are setting yourself up for legislation to require drivers licenses and insurance as your ebike is reaching motorcycle status. I realize off roading is a different story, but if you want to keep your ebike...

    What tools do I need to chop an inch off my seatpost?

    When I need things done that require special tools, this would not be one of them (cutting of seat) I usually go to a shop that would have the tools to do it. A plumbing shop comes to mind for something like this, I usually walk in the back door and just ask it someone could cut this off...

    Radmini cargo rack alternative?

    When we purchased our two Rad Mini's we also purchased two rear racks, they were $80.00 each. I did see back during the Christmas time that Rad offered these racks for a 25% discount, that was a good buy. The racks are built very well and come with all hardware, plus the extension rear lamp...

    lectric XP or rad mini

    I can get about 25 miles on a charge peddling in range 2-3 and using the throttle on uphill conditions. This is what I would call easy peddling, I do not peddle hard under any road conditions. I'm very happy with the performance of the Rad Mini, I think the 20" tire size gives me better range...

    Plasti dip / painting your frame

    Plasti Dip, pretty much "Snake Oil", developed for those who can't and won't do it the correct way and looking for the easy way out and getting poor results. I guess you now know what I think of the stuff.

    lectric XP or rad mini

    The only upgrades that I can really see today are, front forks have suspension and it's adjustable, the Bafang is 750w vs. the lectric 500w, the battery is 14ah vs. the lectric 10ah, the headlight is a top name LED that is much brighter, plus we wanted a step thru model and Rad offers both. I...

    lectric XP or rad mini

    I looked at both bikes before we purchased our Rad Mini Step Thru's. Price was not the determining factor here, but after reading all the reviews and watching videos on YouTube the Rad was our choice. The lectric didn't offer a step thru model and hidden battery and easy of use (removal) was...

    Online Purchase Warranty Service

    In many cases shipping charges are charged by the shipper to pay for his/her labor and packing to what he feels he/she needs to recover some loss on the order. Warranty repairs are not totally free, but you have the option to take it back to the seller and there you can probably get it done with...

    Mini vs Full Size Bike for Seniors?

    I'm 74 and the wife 71, we have the Rad Mini Step Thru's and there great. We take them camping and also ride the city trails in Ft. Worth, Texas. They also work well on the hard dirt packed trails which we often ride when camping. The easy of use is what it's all about and these step thru models...
