My two Radrover boxes were beat to hell with a large 2 foot tear on the side of the box for my bike. Both boxes looked like they were dragged on a dirty warehouse floor for fun and chucked out of the back of a truck. The rear derailleur on my bike was bent so much the chain would rub against the tire in 1st-3rd gear (so far, bending it back has fixed it for now). The front disk brake on my bike was bent and it took some effort to bent it true. My left pedal crank arm fell off after a few days of riding and I could only get it to stay on for 1-2 miles no matter how much Loctite and TQ I applied. I lost the crank bolt during the ride and arm eventually fell off about 4 miles from home. So glad the Radrover had a throttle to get me home (hard to peddle using PAS with only one crank). Rad Power Bikes did send me a new crank arm+bolt and that has stayed put after 2 months and +300 miles.
The wife's Radrover shipping box was in a little better condition and she didn't have the mechanical issue I've had with my bike. I didn't notice any big cosmetic issues I couldn't live with. At $320 for shipping for two bikes, you would expect a little more protection of the product.
I can only imagine how beat-up the Radrover would have been if I lived on the east coast instead of the southwest.
Just wondering mrgold how tall your wife is and if she is comfortable on her Radrover ??
