    Rad Rover 5 paint

    Thanks, Nova Haibike and Sanders... I finally tracked down a place that wasn't out of stock or else could not send internationally... A place called 'Royal Distributing' is sending a 'Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte Detailer and Sealant'... hopefully this will do the job. (Autogeek.net was out...

    Rad Rover 5 paint

    Thanks, Sanders... the auto geek's meguiar's products shown do not include "Meguiar's Mirror Bright Detailing Spray", as least I did not see it and it seems that everywhere I've looked this 'mirror bright' stuff is on back order.

    Rad Rover 5 paint

    Thanks, Nova Haibike. I have found Meguiar's products that do a similar job to the Chemical Guys products BUT up here in the sticks of Canada, these products are not available. I'm considering ordering the Meguiar's 3 step products from the UK as I am not familiar with any of the Chemical Guys...

    Rad Rover 5 paint

    The Rad people had no answer for me and I have perused the titles here for assistance, but could not find anything related to my question. My question is, what is the recommended protection for the matte/flat paint of my Rad Rover fenders, wheels and frame... apparently no wax is allowed on...

    Chain lube?

    Thanks, Fooferdoggie…. I do remember the old Kawi KLR 250 chain was a bit messy and labour intensive to clean and relube with the gear oil... Rock n Roll it is!

    Chain lube?

    Has anyone here ever used gear oil as a chain lube? Good or bad results? I used to change the gear oil (80W-90) in my old Beemer's gear-box, rear-end and drive shaft and now have about 6 litres of the stuff and no Beemer, so I was considering using it on my new Rad Rover's chain... Bad idea?

    Chain lube?

    Is there a consensus as to the best bicycle chain lubricant? I found that, on my chain drive motorcycles, gear oil 80w-90 worked. Would it also work on a modern bicycle chain? My 45 year old CCM has survived on gear oil also. Since I've order the Rad Rover I am trying to get up to speed as my...

    Hello from North Bay, ON

    Thanks for the welcome and the heads-up 'be careful'.... I rode my motorcycle with a frame of mind that I was invisible, that saved my bacon a few times so I will likely continue in the same sort of mind when riding the new electric fat bike.

    Hello from North Bay, ON

    My name is Gord and I have a 2020 Rad Rover 5 on order from Rad Power Bikes in BC. It took me a long time to narrow it down to this e-bike. Thanks Court for helping, your You-tube reviews are priceless. I'm graduating to the Rover after 30 years of riding a BMW R80RT motorcycle. Old age helped...
