Front Rack for Rad Rover

[SpiderDice]

Has one seen a rack that can be mounted over the front tire? Kind of like the Rad Mini or Felt Outfitter..

That front rack and bike are sick!

You've never seen the Outfitter? It was actually my first eBike I saw in person a couple years ago. It's $5499...

@SpiderDice Never. There seems to be a huge markup on it though. I don't see it warranting a $5499 MSRP, especially with no suspension and only a 350W mid-drive motor.

Ya totally. So back on topic..

Anyone found any front racks? Or would they not work with the headlight?

 

[SpiderDice]

Maybe this Surly one would work?

@SpiderDice My headlight quit during the first month. I feel like it's really cheap and is only a temporary solution until the end user can upgrade to a headlight for real world use.

That could possibly work. I would just be worried about attaching it to our cheap forks.

Can you easily switch out the factory headlight to new one?

@SpiderDice I don't see why not. Here is the OEM light below:

It looks like it works with any voltage system (i.e. 24V, 36V, or 48V as listed on the back of our lights).

One like this one below should just retrofit and still work off of the LCD display buttons:

Nice! Thanks for the info! I'll all about being seen and seeing stuff ahead of me!
