Question for Rad Wagon owners

[Louky]

For my riding habits, I don’t really think the front derailleur is necessary. Seems like seven gears is enough. I would rather have just the largest chain ring and a chain guard. That would clean up the clutter on the handle bars and keep my pants out of the chain. Anybody else have thoughts on this?

@Louky, I agree. Unless you are doing a lot of technical off-road riding; you don't really need a bunch of gears up front. The motor power more than compensates for that and with 8 to 10 gears in the rear you'll have plenty of gear options for speedy flats and hill climbing.

I never use the the gears on the front. No real use for them and just makes tune ups more difficult. The seven on the rear are plenty.
