Hi all, Just wanted to share my experience with everyone, to release my frustration but to also warn others. I got the bike Rad Rover Plus Step-Over beginning February. I took two rides on it, after that, it simply stopped working. When I put the battery in, the headlight and backlights flash...

Do I really need to do all this at the very beginning? IF I was reading the manual correctly, it says to do so after 100 miles, not from the get go. Also, I am willing to learn all these things, but perhaps one at a time instead all of them at once.

I think I will wait a little bit with the check up. I want to learn how to take care of it myself anyway. I will look into the coop thing, I know we have a bike den on my campus, but not sure how helpful it will be with ebikes. Any torque wrench recommended? This one seem most popular...

Hi all, I bought the RadRover 6 and it is awesome. It is however, my first bike and I am a little worried that perhaps I have messed up the assembly somewhere. I was considering taking it to a local bicycle shop to have a complete check up. However, I was said it could be about $150 since they...

Thanks for your comments. Yeah I decided to do the chain and throw in a U lock: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HN47G1M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The only thing I do not like is that chain and the U-Lock have the same type of cylinder. Also I am attaching a photo of a...

The cable is a good idea, thank you for pointing it out. I feel like it is an easy cut, but will at least offer some protection for the wheels

Hello, So I am getting an ebike (Radrover 6) this week and I would like to have some locks ready for it. The bike would be locked on campus where there is a lot of people, which hopefully grants some security. I already bought the following lock...

I will keep the battery with me/in my office. That is for certain. Unfortunately no security or police stations near me. I will see if there is a nice parking space with cameras nearby.

In State college? I always assumed the crime here is very rare. After all, it's mostly college students... I am planning on leaving my bike for long times unattended, but always in very public spaces (near food hall/Gym) and of course with a good kryptonite lock. I chose this one: "Kryptonite...

I decided to try out the RadRover 6. It seems to have the most torque, so should do best with hills. I also live near a lot of woods so there is potential to try out dirt trails. I was on the fence due to the fat tires, but ultimately realized that RadRover is the biggest bike Rad Power has, and...

Okay considering everything that has been said here. I think I will go with Rad Power either RadCity 5 Plus or RadRover 6 Plus,not step through due to my height. As @AHicks said, the motors in the newer models are better and should handle hills better which I think should not be a huge deal...

Perhaps I have overestimated how hilly the area is. I was talking from a perspective of riding up it using a regular bike. In all honesty, it is not bad, and the hills are not terribly long either. I do not think the hills will be a huge problem. So what I am understanding is: Mid-drives are...

Wow, thank you everyone for your comments! I really appreciate the help. @Rome I cannot find any reviews of the bike and it seems to only ship to Hawaii. Am I missing something? @m@Robertson Thank you for pointing it out, I have also read somewhere else that mid drive is the way to go. Do you...

Hello everyone, I am looking for a nice commuting ebike. I have a mile walk to work which I want to travel by bike everyday. The route is extremely hilly, which what I have been told, calls for at least 500W bike. I do not think I am planning on using it off road, so I do not think mountain...
