I'm a big/tall guy at 6'3" and +300lbs. I have Radrover fat tire hard tail and Himiway Cobra Pro full suspension. I look at everything as an entire system that could effect my riding comfort directly or indirectly. Sometimes I might have a symptom and have to narrow down the root cause...

I would test the ebike at under 30% power on Seattle hills to see if you have reduced performance. My old 16 Radrover will provide max power available until the battery dies. Example: I need 350w and Radrover can only output 300w in PAS 3 at low battery %; but, the Radrover will give me the...

Welcome to the forum! I ended up giving away my two pedal bikes after I purchased my first ebikes. I ride all year and only exclude ice, snow, or rain for riding days with an ebike.

I have both: - two Radrover 4" Fat tire 750w/80Nm rear hub with throttle and cadence sensor 20 mph Class II - Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w/160Nm 4.8" fat tire mid drive full suspension with tq sensor 28 mph Class III I ride them on paved roads, paved/unpaved bike only trails, and single track. Most...

For with two Radrover fat tire ebikes on a Saris SuperClamp 4 platform bike rack with outer two holders removed on a 7 passenger 11 Acura MDX SUV. I did: - remove batteries - remove seat/seatpost - plastic wrap on electrical (battery tray and entire handlebar (mostly for dust/dirt/sand) - lock...

If he is under 400lbs, a fat tire ebikes from Himiway or Birch Hunters Grolar are great solutions. Being able to test ride (local dealer of Face Book Group) to mount, dismount, and maneuver in low speed situations might be worth giving a try. I like the flexibility of having 2 wheels and bike...

I feel you brother! I love being tall and big guy; but, it can be very hard and a little expensive living in a world made for smaller people (purchasing vehicles, paying more for flight seats with leg room, need the handicap bathrooms stalls for the extra room, limited fashion choices for...

I always wanted a mid-drive and the Cobra Pro checked a lot of my "wish list" over my rear hub Radrover. Noticed the mid-drive is like having a manual transmission compared to a rear hub being more auto trans feel. I can keep my Radrover in 7th gear, come to a complete stop, use the throttle...

I'm a big guy also at 6'3", +325lbs, long arms, and size 14 shoes. I upgraded from my 16 Radrover 4" fat tire 750w rear hub cadence sensor to the Himiway Cobra Pro 1000w mid-drive full suspension tq sensor a year ago. Going rear hub cadence sensor+throttle is the way to go if you have issues...

I live in the southwest and the majority of flats were from goathead stickers. I added Mr. Tuffy tire liners and Stans sealant goo to each tire with a tube. I also kept a spare tube in the rack bag for those flats too large for Stans. Purchased a new 26X4.8 fat tire ebike a year ago that came...

I'm also a Himiway owner for over a year (Cobra Pro mid-drive). I've been lucky to have no issues since purchase. Very comfy ride with the full suspension + Cirrus Kinekt suspension seat post with Cloud-9 seat.

I had 20/20 until +40 years old and cataract surgery on my right eye only with a multifocal lens 5 years ago (closing in on 60). I now need a separate prescriptions for each eye. I've had the same issues with photochromic prescription glasses that don't transition in the car because of UV...

Rear hub with throttle: just hit the throttle and start to pedal when my speed start to match the gearing. Might downshift after hitting the throttle if I need to add speed faster. I probably stayed in gears 4-7 on my 7-speed Radrover in 95% of my riding. Mid drive with throttle: Really...

I've been a little lazy with less riding on my older model Cobra Pro. Same with also recommending this ebike with zero issues after almost a year of ownership. I did get an error 21 in the LCD about a month ago when I pushing the ebike into the garage after a ride. It cleared when I powered...

Another 18 Radcity Step-Thru with under 1000 miles with no real issues with routine maintenance. Upgraded the Radcity to a 2023 Radcity Step-Thru and had the controller fail twice (a week after purchase and July 2024). Rad switched from internal to external controller for the 23 Radcity...

The comparison that carries more weight for me is injury from a helmet versus injury with no helmet. I wiped out on a single track trail and hit the side of my head on rocky ground wearing my Fox Flux helmet. I don't want to think what would of happened without a helmet in the same situation...

I went from Kenda Juggernaut 4" 30 TPI (threads per inch) fat tire to Vee Tire Company Vee8 120 TPI with more tread. I don't know if the Schwalbe MotoX come in different TPI to pick from? The advantages I've noticed was: - 120 TPI was a lighter with less tq steer and improved steering feel -...

We have a 2018 Radcity and purchased the 2023 Radcity 5+ as an upgrade. The hydraulic brakes, geared hub motor, battery power/range, and brake light made it a nice upgrade over the 2018. The 2023 Radcity is a step above the 2018 in looks, performance, and comfort. The controller issues has been...

I don’t know why I was sent the external controller for my 2023 rad city 5 step thru? It was a pain in the bottom to replace the internal controller last year on the rad city. I just happen to be handy replacing external controllers several times with my two 2016 radrovers.

I've been using tubes, Mr. Tuffy liners, with two bottles of Stans in each tire for my two 4" fat tire Radrovers since 2016 (8000 miles between the two 16 Radrovers). A ton of goatheads and usually have to pick out 2-15 per tire depending on the riding area (dirt trail, paved bike path, share...
