    rear hub motor riding styles affects on chains

    Over time I've developed a fairly specific riding style. My rides are generally in the 15-25 mile range. I have no interest in speed and usually ride in the 10-15 mph range. I don't shift much and am generally in either 3rd or 4th gear (out of 7) I pretty much never use 1st or 2nd and 5-7...

    solar generator

    Last week I lost power for about 5 days following a rain storm with high winds. I have a 2200 watt inverter generator that I used to power internet, TV, and my fridge. I have a wood stove so was able to stay warm with out my heat pump and a gas stove so I could at least use the burners for...

    when to replace cassette and/or chainring

    My 2020 Rad Rover ST has a little over 4,000 gentle miles on it. I've replaced the chain once and both clean and lube fairly often. I have the tool to measure chain wear so know when I need a new chain. As far as I can tell though there is no way to measure cassette wear. I watched a couple of...

    Rad law suit

    Just ran across this. Tragic but not sure how one can sue an Ebike company over plainly misusing it's product. At least I'm assuming that 11 year olds can't legally ride an ebike in CA. https://www.yahoo.com/news/team-molly-parents-sue-e-120953641.html

    2020 Rad Rover rear brake question

    After some problems with my stock front caliper I decided to try a set of cable actuated hydraulic brakes. While removing the rear one I didn't pay enough attention to the spacers. I think I have them correct but not 100% sure. The new brakes work great although I've only tested them on the...

    cable actuated hydraulic disc brake for 2020 Rad Rover

    I'm thinking about trying these on my 2020 Rad Rover. Anyone tried them or similar? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G8CYF61/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=518045964-2-515579403.1655657303&tag=brg_c_4-20&th=1

    Sywitch bike

    Has anyone tried one of these kits? I ran across a video while watching another video on chain waxing and thought it was interesting and quite simple to convert any bike into an ebike. I was just curious if anyone has done it and what was it like to ride...

    extra long suspension seat post

    I've been looking for a 27.2 X 450mm suspension seat post for my Rad Mini. I found a regular 450mm seat post on Amazon which gives me the height I wanted but think I would be happier with a suspension seat post but they are not easy to find in that length. I did find this one and was...

    2020 Rad Rover brake caliper

    I think I need a new front brake caliper. The other day my front brakes stopped working. Put the bike on a lift and adjusted the inside until the wheel wouldn't turn then back off one click and the wheel turned freely. Then I adjusted the cable but it won't stop the wheel from turning...

    drive chain replacement

    It's time for my first new chain on my Rad Rover. They are out of stock so will need to find one elsewhere. I plan to watch the appropriate Park videos as this will be my first chain replacement. First question is quality. Is one brand any better than another or are they all pretty much the...

    Rad battery question

    I just installed my battery after a full charge. After turning the key to on I pushed the charge level button on the battery which I've never done before. It showed 3 green lights and one red light. Does this mean my battery didn't fully charge? The charger light showed red and green before I...

    Battery Use Question

    I have a 2020 Rad Rover and am thinking about getting a Rad Mini as a second bike. My question is would I be better off just using the older battery in both bikes until it's worn out while keeping the new battery in safe storage or alternate use of both. My thinking is that eventually the...

    Well this sucks

    Hope he's not a member here. A man yelled antisemitic remarks at a rabbi in front of a South Florida synagogue. He returned and dumped a bag of human feces in front of the building, authorities said. Cellphone video captured the unidentified man on an electric bicycle as he went on a rant...
