    Radwagon - Any recommendations for a quality spoke wrench?

    I believe that after 500 miles it time to tighten the spokes on the Radwagon. Can anyone recommend a quality tool to tighten the spokes? I purchased an all-in-one tool that will not fit the spokes at all. I think the front wheel has some loose spokes from the odd sounds I am hearing.

    Raising Handlebars

    I finally solved the handle bar issue on the Radwagon. The bars were too far away causing neck pain. A stem riser and new stem did the trick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007WEQIT4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    Latest folding bike concept

    A bit expensive but a nice concept that integrates with an I Phone. https://techcrunch.com/2014/05/13/the-gi-bike-is-electric-foldable-and-looks-like-the-future/

    Rear End Sliding

    Yes the Radwagon requires 40nm of torque on the rear axle. That is about 30 foot pounds (a lot). Best to use a torque wrench. Mine also came loose.

    Suntour SP12 NCX 27.2mm Suspension Seatpost

    As far as the Suntour springs go at my 270 lbs the gray spring the seat just bottomed out sitting on the bike. I went to the red spring and after a couple of extra turns in the adjustment it works fine with the Cloud 9 seat. I have the 350mm Suntour. I am sure my riding weight is probably closer...

    That pesky battery rubber charge port cover.

    I tried to trim the rubber flap that keeps popping open on the battery charge port multiple times and once in awhile I could get it to stay plugged in but not always. I finally just cut it off and looked for other solutions such as a screw cap cover but could not find any glue strong enough to...

    Radwagon Range?

    I fully charged the Radwagon and rode it until I got the blinking warning. I went 24 miles using pedal assist 3 and occasionally level 4 on hills. I would say about 90% of the riding was PAS 3. I also used the twist throttle to get moving from a dead stop about 6-8 times. It went quite a...

    What panniers do you guys have for your Wagon and how do you like it?

    I went with a BikeSmart DoubleWide Bicycle Bag. The extra wide width is perfect for the Radwagon and so far no issues. The bags are not all that large however and the straps could be a tad longer but it does work. While the bags are advertised to be water resistant, I used Redhead waterproof...

    Seat for my Radwagon

    I switched out to a Sunlite cloud 9 cruiser seat. Much better than the stock seat. I am 68 and 270 lbs so a better seat is a must. For the price it is worth a try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H87PUI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also added the The Suntour...

    Raising Handlebars

    What kit would work best for a Radwagon? I adjusted the bars up with the stock setup but need to come up a few inches to reduce leaning over. I like an upright position as much as possible.

    Radwagon worked for 5 miles :(

    So far I have just been conversing through E-Mails trying different diagnosis methods. The weather here in Michigan is finally breaking so I can spend some time working on it. Update: Spoke with Tech Support at RadPower and after a couple of diagnostic checks they decided to send out a new...

    Radwagon worked for 5 miles :(

    Unfortunately I am having the same problem with regen kicking in. I have unplugged the brake switches and makes no difference. The motor locks up at each stop. The only way to get moving is over riding the motor using the twist throttle. At about 6 or 7 mph the regen turns off. Cant really...

    Bags for the Radwagon

    I purchased the doublewide from BikeSmart. No chance to use it yet though. Just had a knee replacement. It is wide enough. http://www.bikesmart.com/products/doublewide Update: The double wide is a pretty good fit but the straps are just barely long enough to install. The bags are not all...

    Suntour SP12 NCX 27.2mm Suspension Seatpost

    I bought my Suntour seatpost from WalMart on line. It was $79 and included the dust cover. Had to order the heavier red spring directly from Suntour.

    Radwagon: What bags do you use?

    I went with a BikeSmart DoubleWide Bicycle Bag but have not tried it yet since the snow hit the day after I assembled the RadWagon. Update: Pretty good fit however the straps are just barely long enough for the install.
