Sold the RadRover :(

Sold my RadRover. Moving on to motorcycles!

Bike sold on 5/11/2019. Please remove this posting.

Thanks. I haven't abandoned e-biking. Just don't have the space here in Honolulu for all the toys like I did back in NC. I'll continue to read the posts here and stay updated. The input I got here helped me make the decision to get the RadRover as my first ebike and I haven't been disappointed.

For now, yes. :(

Let's address the elephants, yes elephants, in the room: "Why are you selling your bike?" - In March, I got my motorcycle license and I won't have room for both "Why should I pay $1199 for a used RadRover with 1932 miles when I can buy one new for $1499?" - Good point if you live on the...

I'd recommend tire liners if you can get them to lay correctly in the tire AND add Slime. Another user says the trick for the tire liners is to partially inflate the tube and tape the liner to it and then place them both in the tire and complete the mounting process. I haven't tried it, but I...

1300+ miles strong on the RadRover!

Sounds more like a marketing tactic than a sign of a significant increase on the horizon.

Racked up 1k miles on my RadRover!

Something else to consider is whether or not either of these companies actually has the bike you want in stock. Juiced will accept pre-orders if they're out of stock where RAD only sells what's in stock. For full disclosure, I own a 2018 RadRover and received it within 11 days of ordering it. If...

I love my 2018 RadRover, but I have seen some posts in the Rad Owners FB group from RadRover and RadMini buyers who regretted their purchase because they had difficulty mounting and dismounting the bike due to the height of the top tube. If they had the opportunity to test the bike beforehand...

When charging, place the charger on a solid surface that will help dissipate the heat such as a tile floor. Surfaces like carpet will actually help the charger retain the heat. If you have one of those wire racks that you place cookies on to help them cool off after pulling them out of the oven...

I think the "no pre-order" policy overall works well for everyone. I can see the advantage of being able to place a pre-order so one doesn't have to position themself to pounce on their keyboard on a certain day and time to get first dibs on a bike from a limited stock. However, when a person...

Or when they give you a ship date it's an actual ship date and not a "projected" ship date that comes and goes as with vendors who allow pre-orders.

I haven't checked into EBR lately and just saw your post. Sorry to hear that you're listing your bike. I know from previous posts that you've been very happy with the bike and modding it to your liking. I've decided my next ebike will most likely be a mid-drive for the hill climbing torque and...

Unless you're bike savvy, do yourself a favor and find a reputable LBS (local bike shop) that will give your RadMini a post-assembly inspection to check spoke tension, gear indexing, brakes, etc. For the most part, you're asking for a tune-up of a 7-gear bike. These are all standard bike...

Sounds like some spoke tightening is in order. Definitely not a big deal and it will need to be checked on a regular basis. My LBS adjusted the spokes on my RadRover as part of his tune-up of my DIY assembly along with the brakes, gears, etc. Every bikes needs some tuning out of the box or even...

I test rode both the 2018 RadMini and 2018 RadRover at the Seattle store last June and both bikes impressed me. The RadRover's size and build almost feels like a small motorcycle, and with the fat tires you need to learn about countersteering to fully enjoy turning the bike at higher speeds. The...

Over 500 miles on my RadRover and loving it!
