    Rover distance improvement options?

    And what range do you expect? I’ve been interested in 2 wd bikes. I have a lot to learn before trying to build one but I’m very interested in them

    Rover distance improvement options?

    I e looked at mid drives, but love my rover. I figured I’d have to upgrade some day but It seems like the rover can get better range still. Well, im sure in ( years battery will be so much better we can get like 50 miles on average.

    Rover distance improvement options?

    Yes that is what I’ve had to do. Lucky there are plugs outside my work as I can’t take it in and pulling the battery every time is a pain as I’ve done that as well. To me that’s a temporary fix. I travel with my charger just in case I need to make stops on the way home. My thing is there are...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    My battery is wrapped already and I’m talking about summer distance as I haven’t notice a difference in winter and cold temps. I’m in SD so I know I needed to keep the battery warm in winter. And I use warned rice bags to keep the battery warm in winter in the bag. It’s easy, reusable and last...

    Fat tire resistance and quality

    And I’m pretty happy with the stock as well. I find they match my riding very well. But I looked it up and they have poor resistances when tested. I thought they rolled easy. Made me think well if they are poor, what’s one that test good like?

    Fat tire resistance and quality

    I don’t think it would make much difference having two sets. The summer needs as much trend as winter ones. Studded tires are way too much and o my decent around here in the ice. May of my friends have them and say a good all terrain is just as good but cheaper. If I was on concrete then he...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    That’s still just 672 Wh. That breaks down in perfect condition best case 33 miles. Real world probably 25. I get 18ish. 300$ to go 8 miles longer just doesn’t seem like enough to spend the cash to me. Ya everyone can say carry a second but then you have the weight and sucuring a second battery

    Fat tire resistance and quality

    Hi all, So, I’m trying to find info on fat bike tires that would work for me. This is kind of the start of the journey as I’ve not looked a ton. I ride in mixed terrain. I cover concrete, sand, mud, hills and often snow, so an all terrain seem fitting. I am after something’s g a bit more rolling...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    Very nicely written post with good info thank you. I completely relate to the 6 1/2 mile and draining most the juice as that seems to be my life as well. I also have a triangle for my battery and use rice to keep it warm. Winter here is a tough one. Storage at home is inside but I’m a shift...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    Mine is a 2017 not 18. While I understand how that works and even thought of that, I didn’t want to make my ride to and from work longer so was hoping to find another way. Thank you for bringing something other then basic riding style thou. As stated in the Op, until battery price is better I...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    Thanks for the reply and not to be rude but clearly riding style of course effects it and that’s basically what all of those fall into. My ride is on all terrains and often snow. Tire change isn’t really what I’m looking for. Im looking more for changin the gears to make it more effective. Due...

    Rover distance improvement options?

    Ok, so I’ve been looking for ways to get more distance out of my RadRover. Clearly a different battery with more ah would do it. My issue is the increase in real world use vs cost of a battery doesn’t seem worth it. Spending 5-600$ and gaining 10-15 miles seems pretty low vs the cost of a new...

    Steep Hills and Commuting

    I’d agree. I have a 17 Rad Rover and my commute is 15 miles to and from work. I’m in South Dakota with harsh winters, very strong wind and my ride has a good deal of up and down hills. To top it off I’m disabled and have ankle/foot issues not allowing me to pedal easily. I can’t ride a normal...
