    My sister sent me a photo of the cable end that inserts into her battery. She said it sparks when she plugs it in and the end looks charred. What can that indicate? She has her charger powered first and then connects the charge cable to the battery, as instructed for proper sequence. ( bad...

    Should I change my Bafang control display

    I'm a young 70 year old and I added a bafang kit to my Terratrike rambler and it works very well. I was advised to get the 500c color display. I'm having difficulty seeing much in direct sunlight, as I see others also have with this. I can see the power setting and have lived with this. I...

    My wife’s mini step thru Brake levers are a problem. She says that the brake lever reach is not comfortable for her smaller hands. Is there an adjustment here that I could do, to bring the lever closer to the handlebar? Thanks

    Rad mini step thru seat post adjustment

    We just bought two rad minis. I’ve assembled both and love them. I am 5’8 and I have the post adjusted right up to the line. Then it says (Warning-dont raise higher or something to that effect). I could use about another inch higher adjustment. There is a lot of tubing still in the frame...
