My Radwagon 5 arrived

So are the fronts mounted to the tub lid?

Exactly the rubber mounting straps form a hinge so the tote lid can still open from the back for loading/unloading without have to remove the lights. Sweet.

Worked on the SR Suntour NCX today for another try since the seat post adapter arrived. I reversed the upper seat clamp bar so no more setback and I think it will work for me now. Got a red seat post clamp for giggles too.

Rode to store today with best ride comfort to date. Modded seat post really works nice now. The Cannondale cargowagen neo will be hard pressed to beat this setup but we will see. It is out for delivery today. I do have some plans for it.

Today I removed the front basket and tote,

I did not like the wireless turn signals so I decided to add these instead

I have started the install still waiting on a few things to compete the wiring.

three position switch on handlebar

12V Led flasher with adjustable flash rate

usb voltage booster to get 12 volts

Finally got the 12v motorcycle turn signals working. The motto if at first you don't succeed try, try, again came into play with this mod. My original plan to use my powerbank with 12v usb booster failed due to the bank shutting off when no load was present. Next I added a dummy load and that failed as well. Next I tried to use the USB-c output on the display and that failed as well shutting down as soon as I turned on the turn signals. Got all the wiring done and into a box mounted where the front basket used to be. Even made a custom graphic for the plain black cover. So now I needed another solution and found this

One of the few power banks that remain on always used for time lapse photography and stuff like cctv cameras and such. Anyway 12 v out is perfect so I ran the power cord back to the rear along the same path as the wire for the rear turn signals and mounted the bank in the tote. Soldered up the plug as with all other connections and shrink wraped the joints. Eureka it works and I took my first ride with them operational today. Super de duper..

Also mounted a tire pump to the lower frame with the existing bottle cage screws. Nice feature of the Radwagon 5 is lots of these frame mounting
points.

I wired up my lights and tailights on my Enduro motorbike with a cheap 12v lion battery, 30 dollars, comes with a charging port and charger.
Not as smooth as yours , but works.
