    Purchase Rad Wagon with Velofix setup

    Welcome to the Rad madness! lol...It's a GOOD thing. I'd like to chime in here that if you go the stand route, be ready to spend big $$ on something that will last. An e-bike even with the battery removed is still prob going to be over 60 lbs. with all, you'll put on it. I bought 2 different...

    Is there any reason why these tires wont fit on my 2019 Rad Rover?

    BRUTAL is an understatement!... I took a ride with a young Hispanic woman from downtown Tijuana to "la playa" for dinner in her car. I tried taking movies of it with my phone but was too scared. There are no street repairs down there. Forget it. I'd probably feel safer off-road than on it. Not...

    Compressor godsend

    Oh wow, great ideas folks! Yes, sorry to say I'm still a noob to the whole MTB/eBike thing but I'm learning and the trip so far has been fun!! Was over at Anywhere Bicycle Repair in SD. Kevin shook his head and said: "dude...get a compressor." lol

    Preventing/overcoming flats in the Rad Rover

    If you're mostly on the pavement like me you could also go with 3.5s instead of 4". That is certainly what I will do next flat!. Three flats in 3 months and all were the rear tires on my Radrover. I just don't have the savvy or the desire to screw around trying to fix the rear tire in the...

    Compressor godsend

    Bought this electric compressor for $25 at Home Depot. No more 60 or so pumps with the floor pump again! The Supercells I put on it go from max 20 psi to 15 in 2 days. Prob down to like 8psi in 4 days. No way am I going to stand there pumping madly like a 2-man railroad dolly...NOT! This bad...

    Clicking sound coming from head tube when stationary and turning handlebars

    The head tube needs to be greased My RadRover also has this sound. Waiting to receive fenders in the mail to have both addressed at the shop.

    Going to join the fold!

    I actually bought a RadRover and my best friend bought a RadCity. We've been riding all over the southland and couldn't be happier. Buying a bike from a shop WILL have to account for all their expenses and their profit. You just simply won't get better value than buying straight from the...

    Down with spandex!

    I don't understand why people are so concerned with bugs flying up their pants leg. If you trap a bee and subsequently get stung on a testicle, you'll have no need for your motor for at least 10 more miles!

    What's under those plastic caps on the leather hand grip ends?

    Wow! I immediately went out to the garage to check mine. Nope. No hidden $100 bills, but I did get a great idea. I'd tell you all, but it's so ingenious that you'll copy my idea and I'd lose money for the invention! Ok, I'm so excited, I'll tell you...A built-in cigarette lighter just like in...

    Down with spandex!

    Ok, maybe joking about a gas-operated, rear-mounted pepper spray nozzle was an overreaction. How about this?... Tour de Frogue wannabe packs would surely move over to the right once they heard me coming!

    Down with spandex!

    https://www.eta.co.uk/2010/09/29/bond-bike-boasts-ejector-seat-and-flame-thrower/ NOT! As the OP, I'm a bit surprised anyone could have taken me seriously. My attempts at humor do fall short. I crack myself up always though! While it's true that the San Diego spandex madness is fully ingrained...

    What's under those plastic caps on the leather hand grip ends?

    Cool idea. I googled those and saw you can get them with assorted country flags too. I imagine you could also install wavy multi-colored plastic strips! Possibilities are endless! Made me think of when I was a kid and use to attach a playing card through the rear spokes with a clothespin

    Rad "Mini" step thru is 68 lbs ?

    Wow, cool idea! nice pics. I lift my RadRover into the back of my pickup with the tailgate down. I just remove the battery first. Then I just tie it off on both sides and off I go. I'm an out of shape 70-year-old too lol That bucket idea is sweet! I could easily put 4 in the bed of my truck in...

    Down with spandex!

    Ok, I haven't ranted in a while, but here goes... I hate the color-coordinated spandex-wearing, slim-jim, Lance Armstrong wannabe, road hogging a-holes! Present company excluded of course. I live in North San Diego and it's complete madness on weekends during the summer months. They think they...

    Brake pad wear

    I've had my 2019 Radrover for a couple of months now and have close to 300 miles on it. Curious how long before brake pads need to be swapped out. My rides are mostly even pavement with not much downhill.

    Now I know why bikes arrive bent

    Yes, that's true and in defense of Rad bikes, they do package the contents well. The shipping box would have to undergo pretty rough treatment for the bike to arrive damaged. I suppose I'd rather have the free shipping and take my chances than the white glove treatment you pay for. Plus, who's...

    Rad Rhino just arrived ... big problem

    Hot babe in Ocean Beach..." is that an electric bike?" "How far will it go on a charge?" "How much did it cost?" "You look sexy on it!" "Do you want to come to my place?"
