I'm a big guy also at 6'3", +325lbs, long arms, and size 14 shoes. I upgraded from my 16 Radrover 4" fat tire 750w rear hub cadence sensor to the Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w mid-drive full suspension tq sensor a year ago. Going rear hub cadence sensor+throttle is the way to go if you have issues...

I live in the southwest and the majority of flats were from goathead stickers. I added Mr. Tuffy tire liners and Stans sealant goo to each tire with a tube. I also kept a spare tube in the rack bag for those flats too large for Stans. Purchased a new 26X4.8 fat tire ebike a year ago that came...

I'm also a Himiway owner for over a year (Cobra Pro mid-drive). I've been lucky to have no issues since purchase. Very comfy ride with the full suspension + Cirrus Kinekt suspension seat post with Cloud-9 seat.

I had 20/20 until +40 years old and cataract surgery on my right eye only with a multifocal lens 5 years ago (closing in on 60). I now need a separate prescriptions for each eye. I've had the same issues with photochromic prescription glasses that don't transition in the car because of UV...

Rear hub with throttle: just hit the throttle and start to pedal when my speed start to match the gearing. Might downshift after hitting the throttle if I need to add speed faster. I probably stayed in gears 4-7 on my 7-speed Radrover in 95% of my riding. Mid drive with throttle: Really...

I've been a little lazy with less riding on my older model Cobra Pro. Same with also recommending this ebike with zero issues after almost a year of ownership. I did get an error 21 in the LCD about a month ago when I pushing the ebike into the garage after a ride. It cleared when I powered...

Another 18 Radcity Step-Thru with under 1000 miles with no real issues with routine maintenance. Upgraded the Radcity to a 2023 Radcity Step-Thru and had the controller fail twice (a week after purchase and July 2024). Rad switched from internal to external controller for the 23 Radcity...

The comparison that carries more weight for me is injury from a helmet versus injury with no helmet. I wiped out on a single track trail and hit the side of my head on rocky ground wearing my Fox Flux helmet. I don't want to think what would of happened without a helmet in the same situation...

I went from Kenda Juggernaut 4" 30 TPI (threads per inch) fat tire to Vee Tire Company Vee8 120 TPI with more tread. I don't know if the Schwalbe MotoX come in different TPI to pick from? The advantages I've noticed was: - 120 TPI was a lighter with less tq steer and improved steering feel -...

We have a 2018 Radcity and purchased the 2023 Radcity 5+ as an upgrade. The hydraulic brakes, geared hub motor, battery power/range, and brake light made it a nice upgrade over the 2018. The 2023 Radcity is a step above the 2018 in looks, performance, and comfort. The controller issues has been...

I don’t know why I was sent the external controller for my 2023 rad city 5 step thru? It was a pain in the bottom to replace the internal controller last year on the rad city. I just happen to be handy replacing external controllers several times with my two 2016 radrovers.

I've been using tubes, Mr. Tuffy liners, with two bottles of Stans in each tire for my two 4" fat tire Radrovers since 2016 (8000 miles between the two 16 Radrovers). A ton of goatheads and usually have to pick out 2-15 per tire depending on the riding area (dirt trail, paved bike path, share...

I’m a taller rider and had sore palms and numb hands on longer rides. Padded gloves and ergo grips helps; but, the biggest help was adding an adjustable handle bar stem. It adjusted my riding angle to more upright to take the pressure off the palms of my hands, arms, and shoulders. The ergo...

The only tips are to connect the battery tray power cable first, screw down tube battery tray connector, don’t forget about the rubber plug for the hole in the bottom of the frame for the battery cable, then connect the other two cables from the controller, mount controller on down tube, test to...

I have a 2023 Radcity 5 Step-Thru and I'm on my second controller. The first controller failed a few days after purchase with no error codes and zero PAS/Throttle power with less than 20 miles on the odo. The replacement controller in 2023 looked like the original. Fast forward a year later...

This is what my original Rad brake cable looked like before I changed it our to Spyke TRP brakes and Jagwire MTB coated brake cables. The 5-6 inches of coiled up broken strands were jammed into the 1.5 inch space of the brake handle and causing the motor cut off to active intermittent. No fun...

Mechanical brakes on my two 16 Radrovers. I was constantly adjusting the cable tension and pad placement monthly. The cheaper brake cable started to have broken strands at the calipers and brake pull. It started to become liability issue for emergency stops at speeds +15 mph because I wasn't...

Welcome back to the biking world! Another ol' timer with knee pain and had it go 99% away once I started riding back in 2016. Knee ache/pain does start to creep back if I take too long of a break; but, a few 30-60 min rides seems to reduce the pain to almost zero.

No way I could store my ebikes inside the house; unless, I had a basement, personal home office, or man-cave. Probably a pain in the bottom to remove daily; but, I would store the battery pack inside the house if overnight temps get near/below zero most nights. It would be a few extra steps to...
