    Ground pin on charger plug is loose.

    My bike is from radpower ebikes. I noticed that the ground pin on my charger plug feels loose and I can wiggle it up and down. I tried pulling it out and pushing it in but it didnt have any movement there. I have no idea how these plugs even work, but is that normal? Is it possible it could...

    Are there any "high end" ebikes with a 500 watt motor?

    I'm talking about brands like giant, trek, specialized, etc. An ebike with no throttle but just pedal assist. It seems like they all have a motor of about 250 watts which is less than the motor on my radmission. That makes me think my radmission is more powerful than those (not sure though...

    Do any radmission owners have battery caps?

    I have a radmission and was thinking about buying some battery caps on etsy to protect the plugs on the battery and the bike when they're exposed. Do any of you guys have something like that? Or do you just take the battery off and leave it like that? Just wondering if they are really...

    How durable is the charging port?

    I have a radmission which is my first ebike, and I always get a bit nervous plugging the charger in since if the charging port breaks, I need a new $500 battery and I doubt the warranty would cover it. I have bad luck with charging ports on my phones which is a big reason why I try to be very...

    Did I balance my battery correctly?

    I bought a radmission, and rad states to charge it for 12 hours after your first three rides. I did it differently so i'm wondering if it still gave me the same results. Here is what I did: As soon as I got the bike I put the battery on the charger for 11 hours and 45 minutes. I didnt ride it...

    How hard is it to fix a battery?

    I bought a radmission, and i'm being very careful with the battery. I dont really know much about them, so i'd like to learn some stuff about what is an easy fix so i wont worry as much if something ever does go wrong. If the charging port on the battery breaks, is that hard to replace? What...

    Is this a good lock?

    I own this bike lock, but I havent used it yet. https://www.walmart.com/ip/OnGuard-Bike-U-Lock-and-4-Foot-Cable/782862657 Everything says to buy a more expensive lock, and I plan to buy a better one soon, but whats wrong with this one? It has a 12 mm shackle, its double bolted, and it seems...

    Question about balancing the battery.

    I ordered a radmission and rad says to balance the battery for 12 hours after each ride 3 times. When I get the bike, can I ride it once in the morning, turn it off, then ride it again later in the day before I charge it? Pretty much ride the bike periodically until it actually needs charged...

    Radrunner with long legs?

    I'm 5'10 with a 33-34 inch inseam when wearing shoes. Does anybody here have long legs like that with a short torso/arms and ride the radrunner? How does it feel? Do your knees get close to the handlebars?

    Are 750 watt ebikes actually legal?

    I live in Ohio and the law states ebikes must have a motor LESS than 750 watts. This is also the same as the federal law, and the same wording for ebikes when it comes to that new tax refund for ebikes. So does that mean, an ebike with a motor rated exactly 750 watts is technically illegal...

    Ebike that will be comfortable for someone with long legs and short arms for around $1200?

    I am roughly 5'10 (my height varies from 5'9 and 3/4 to 5'10, so I am just going to say 5'10 since i'll be wearing shoes). My bike inseam measured with a book against the wall is about 32-33 inches. My wingspan is about 67-68 inches. So I have long legs and a short torso/arms. I was...

    How are Ride1UP ebikes legal?

    It says they are class 3 ebikes, but that doesnt make sense. From what I understand, class 3 ebikes are not allowed to have a throttle, but their ebikes do (core-5 is the one in looking at). Also, the law in most states with the class system say ebikes must have a motor output of less than 750...

    Does anybody here ride the mid-step radmission?

    I'm really struggling with trying to decide whether to get the mid-step radmission or the high step. I want to make sure I get the right size, because I cant afford to return it if its not. I'm almost exactly 5'10. My bike inseam (not pants inseam) is around 32-33 inches. Does anybody here...

    Is there a difference between the high step and mid step radmission besides standover height?

    I'm about 5'10 with a 32 inch inseam. I'm trying to figure out if I should get the high step or the midstep radmission. I'm looking at the measurements for both, and besides the standover height they seem about the same? Is there a difference between them besides that? Is the 1 cm difference...

    Radmission vs ncm moscow?

    I was leaning towards the radmission, but I found the ncm moscow from leoncycles which looks pretty nice. Is this a good company that will stay around for a while? Is this ebike good quality? which would you pick between the radmission and the ncm moscow?

    Can't decide between high step or mid step radmission.

    I'n interested in buying an ebike, but I can't decide which size to get for the radmission. I'm about 5'10 with a bike inseam of around 32 inches. I see people say they are 5'6, 5'8, and 5'9 with 30 inch inseams or less and they ride the high step comfortably. I've also seen a few people say...
