    Weight improvement limitations

    About how much weight could be removed from the Mini 4? Rounding up, we can say... Battery is about 8lbs Motor maybe 15lbs Wheels/tires about 3.5lbs each for a total of 7 If the M4 total is about 68lbs, then the bike minus battery, motor and fat tires it's about 38lbs. Which is still heavy...

    RadMini update soon??

    Thanks, Banzai. It's been a struggle to decide due to exactly the things to you mention. I live about 30 miles north of DC (which we still call the east coast when speaking to folks in other parts for some weird reason) and we tow our trailer a couple hours to sites with gravely roads and fairly...

    RadMini update soon??

    Similar boat as the OP. Waiting on return label for the RR6 I got last week that's too much bike for my needs and I'm considering the Mini 4, but suspect a new version may be out by Spring. I'm on the east coast and won't use it much till then. But the price is good on the current Mini 4 right...

    Rad Mini - Rider Height ?

    Hi, Any taller riders using the Mini 4? Any issues crouching over? I'm looking at the Mini 4 as I wait for my return label on the RR6... that's really a great machine, but too much bike for my needs. I'm 5'12" or just shy of it (48 yrs old) with legs measuring about 31.5 based on Rad's...

    Rec'd Rad Rover 6 today - BIG

    That puts it far more succinctly than I did. Thank you I've decided on the Rad Mini 4. Would have picked it the first time if they didn't intentionally mislead me by calling it a "Mini". 😉 Was stuck between the Espin Sport, the Lectric xp 2.0 and the Rad Mini 4. The Espin ($1129 on sale)...

    Rec'd Rad Rover 6 today - BIG

    I know they're all close the same weight, but maneuvering the RR6 while on or off of it is more trouble than it's worth given the trails and locations I'll be riding. If I lived near the beach, had a good place to ride in the snow or had miles of trails near my house, I'd keep it. I didn't...

    Rec'd Rad Rover 6 today - BIG

    Rode 2.6 miles and it feels like riding a WWII motorcycle. I enjoy it and it's a lot of fun, but it's more difficult than I want\need for riding with wife and kids. It was a breeze to assemble, and I have smiled every moment I've rode, but it's flipping HUGE!! I'll return it. I'm thinking the...

    Fat tire that does get flats?

    I ordered the Rad 6 last night. No regrets yet. lol Scheduled to ship Nov. 5. Today is Nov. 2. Added the suspension seat post and the Tannus tire protection. Ordering Flat-out from Amz. Seems to get better reviews than Slime, but it could be worse in the long run. Hoping it doesn't clog the...

    Fat tire that does get flats?

    Nice. Just noticed my typo in my subject. Missing "don't". Thanks for the advice. I was ready to give up on e bikes after some of the 3 star reviews I read on various brands. Test rode a fat tire at a shop in Frederick MD this morning. It was small and only went 10 mph and was awesome !! Now I...

    Fat tire that does get flats?

    Hi, I'm looking for my first e-bike after decades of mountain biking and now an unrelated injury that makes it difficult to pedal for long. I'm not doing the hardcore tech trails anymore. Just dirt paths with some bumps with my family, but I need something smooth'ish. Was looking at the...
