What about the wheel bearings in a Rad Rover?

[Pay Jota]

Once again, I have the 2019 model. Wife has the City Step Thru.

Are these riding on bearings that can be lubricated?

I don't know? I never thought about, looked, knew they had them, or tried to lube the wheel bearing on my 2016 Radrovers with +3500 miles each on them? Zero issues with the wheels coming up on 3 years this fall.

Pretty sure the rear are sealed, do not need to be lubed.

front wheel berrings on rad bikes are cup & cone ball type , mine were qite dry & tight at 1300 miles , repacked / readjusted - good to go !

What kind of grease did you use? Standard automotive wheel bearing grease? Something lighter duty?

I used an automotive type because I trust the stuff and didn't know any better.

How does one go about taking this front assembly apart and lubricating it? I have the wheel off and have removed the rubber cups over the nuts.
