    Wheel Not Turning Evenly

    Just reinstalled my rear wheel, and noticed that it's not turning evenly. At one point, it's touching the frame. At almost the opposite point it's a few mm away from the frame (but still not centered). Pretty sure it wasn't doing that before and that I put it back on correctly. What could be the...

    Problem with Bottom Bracket

    Noticed a clicking sound coming from my bottom bracket (2018 RadCity). Pretty sure it's coming from my bottom bracket, because there's no sound when I'm not pedaling. Does this sound like bad bearings, or just an adjustment that's needed? Or something else perhaps? Thanks...

    Need New Rim

    My 2018 RadCity has some hairline cracks in the rear rim which stem from some of the spoke holes (each crack is about 1/2 inch long). I'm told that Rad rims aren't the highest quality, and that getting a heftier replacement rim would be a good idea. Any recommendations for rims? The tire itself...

    Do I need new pads?

    I have a hard time telling when a brake pad needs to be replaced. Can someone take a look at this picture and tell me if you think the pad needs to be replaced? Thanks!

    Slight Bump in Crank

    I have a Rad Power Bikes 2018 RadCity and I noticed a slight "bump" in my left crank arm when it's at the 2:00 position. Only in the left crank arm, not the right. And it happens in all gears. At one point I felt several "bumps" with each cycle of the crank arm. But almost all the time it's...

    No power to motor

    After taking off my rear wheel and battery, and then replacing both, I now have no wattage to the motor. I have power, as the LCD lights up and works. But no power to the motor either by PAS or throttle. (And the throttle shut off button has been glued in place for a long time, so that's not...

    OK to ride with missing spoke?

    I have a 2018 Rad Power Bikes RadCity. I just noticed one of my rear spokes is out of the nipple. I put it back in and tried tightening it, but didn't work. Threads in the nipple must be stripped. Two questions: 1) Is it OK to ride for the time being with one spoke disconnected? 2) What size...

    Looking for some advice regarding selling an e-bike.

    So, a while back I bought an Ancheer bike on the Internet for $615 (https://www.amazon.com/ANCHEER-Electric-Mountain-Removable-Lithium-Ion/dp/B01AU7KWXC/ref=sr_1_3). Being heavy (325 lbs); and hauling a 60 lb trailer with a 20 lb dog in it; and taking up hills without first downshifting; I...

    Looking for tips for transporting laptop

    I am looking to transport my laptop on my bike to ride to Starbucks or wherever and work. I'm concerned about the effects bumps in the ride might have on the laptop. The laptop will be in a laptop backpack with padding on the back, and I was planning on strapping it to my rear rack. I was...

    My handlebars keep coming loose

    So, I've had my RadCity for a short while, rode it a handful of times in the week or so since it's been put together. A few days ago the handlebars came loose, where they wiggled a lot up and down. I made it home and then tightened them as hard as I could. Today it happened again. Not as much...

    Sunpost SP12 NCX vs. Thudbuster seatpost

    I was looking to buy a Sunpost SP12 NCX seatpost. But then I found out you're supposed to take it apart, degrease it, apply new grease to the coil, and lubricate the joints every 300 miles!! That's too much work for me! LOL Does anyone do that? I pictured buying this and just using it forever...

    Trip Odometer Resets Each Time

    On the RadCity, the meter's trip odometer resets each time it's powered down. And it powers down automatically after like 15 minutes of inactivity. This is very frustrating. If you stop to rest or grab a bite to eat, you lose your trip distance! Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a...
