I recently threw out a post “Still considering changing from Rad Rover (and Rad)” and got some good feedback. However, in my pursuit to find a lighter ebike (something under 50 lbs), I’ve come to realize that it’s all about trade offs. So I am now trying to figure out what my highest priorities...

I bought my first ebike six years ago thanks in part to EBR and helpful comments from many of you. I bought a Rad Rover and have been very pleased and last fall considered changing to a Rad City duse primarily to it’s “get up and go”. Well, life got in the way (shoulder replacement surgery) and...

I have owned my Rad Rover since November of 2018 and have 2816 miles on it. The bike is in good shape as I do regular bike tune ups at my LBS. In the summer of 2021 I replaced the Kendas with Origin8 tires and put in Tannus Armour inserts. That same summer I had the more extensive bike tune-up...

I have owned my Rad Rover for approximately four years with a little over 3,000 miles on it. I generally like the bike very much. Recently I had the opportunity to ride a Rad City ebike and was pleasantly surprised with it’s “get up and go”. I’m now considering selling my Rad Rover and buying a...

I now have over 750 miles on my Radrover and am very happy with it. However, I would like the handlebars to be a couple of inches higher. I went to my LBS and was told that there was not enough slack in the wires to put spacers in and raise the handlebars. I am now considering the Ergon GP5...

I am preparing for a couple of bike ride events both have days which will include 50 mile treks. My Rad Rover battery should last for approximately 30 miles. However, today I went 25 miles and stayed mostly on PA 1 and 2. My first bar went away after 21 miles. Does this mean I could potentially...

I recently bought a Radrover and Radcity Step-thru. I also got the 1 Up USA Super Duty bike rack to transport the bikes. All is going well, however I want to get fenders for the Radrover. The step-thru bike came with fenders, so when I clamp down the arms of the bike rack, the arms come down...

Just got my Rad rover today, got it out of the box and unwrapped it. I put on the stem clamp. I took off the rubber nut from the fork protector and cannot get it to come off. The video makes it look like you just lift the forks off the protector very easily....not for me. Has anyone had this...

I took advantage of the cyber Monday sale and bought a Radrover for myself and a Racity Step-thru for my w. In the meantime I ordered the 1 Up USA Super Duty Double Bike Rack. I need to convert one of the trays to hold 4 " tires. My question is, "Should I convert the tray closest to my SUV or...

I'm about 80% sure that I'm going to purchase the Radrover, however I want to test ride one first. I'll be going to Scottsdale, AZ in February and plan to rent one for a few hours at Phatride USA. This will be my final test before I pull the trigger on a purchase. The folks at Phatride said that...

I considering my first ebike and am very intrigued with fat tire bikes (really like the looks of the Radrover). I have a Specialized hybrid bike that I ride mostly on concrete, but once a year I go on a 3 day crushed rock ride. I want to start riding more dirt/crushed rock trails and at age 64...

Does anyone own or at least ridden the Trivel Azteca bikes (fat tire or regular)? I'm shopping for my first ebike and this just caught my eye. It seems impractical for my purposes and potential problems (low hanging chain, feet near the wheel on sharp turns). But it looks so cool....I was just...

I'm 64 year old big man (269 lbs) and have been riding a Specialized Crossroads Sport hybrid bike for the last 12 years. I mostly ride on paved roads, but occasionally hit crushed rock or dirt trails. As I get older, I find myself riding less because I hate riding on windy days (which are most...
