General Chat / Throttle Ebikes covered by homeowner's insurance?
« on: December 11, 2023, 04:17:47 PM »
 I live in Oregon and I had a friend who got her bike (not a Rad) stolen :( and her insurance agent said that it was a good thing she had only "pedal assist" bike and was covered, but that Ebikes that have throttles (which I think all Rads do,) are not covered and require "additional insurance"..

Is that true????

I just replace my seat post to the SR Suntour suspension seatpost and love it! I have a radexpand5 and no suspension forks because of the adjustable forward handlebar.  I know they make suspension stems for bike now, how anyone installed them on their rad ebike and found it worth the cost.  Some of my fingers can go numb on a longer more bumping Portland OR road!  Thanks!!

General Chat / Hollywood Rack sale....
« on: February 10, 2023, 11:58:41 AM »
So I look at this sales every time it comes around, however they only put the "sport" rack (for car) on sale rather than the other model Hollywood has called Destination E-bike Rack which has runners built in so you can roll you bike on to the rack inside of lifting one side then the other.  I want the Destination rack on sale not the Sport one, why not Rad??

Rad Modifications / Suntour SP12 NCX seat post
« on: November 07, 2022, 09:37:42 AM »
I've been looking for more of a "lay-back" for my seat in terms of 1-2" (otherwise rear basket is in the way).  My question is I'm short 5'1" and my seat is nearly fully down, if I switch out for the Suntour seat post  will I be able to keep it as "low" or does the suspension mechanism raise it up?  Also will it give me the "lay-back" that I'm looking for.  The cushioning part is a + but not mandatory.  I'm a lightweight! This is going on a RadExpalnd 5.  Thanks!

General Chat / Battery charger gets hot during charging....
« on: October 03, 2022, 03:30:47 PM »
So my battery charges up very nicely, which I do after 35-40 miles on the charge on my Rad Expand 5. There are 2-3 bars left so it about 50% used.  However, I notice the charger gets really hot. I take the battery pack  off to charge it, since the bike lives in a shed when not ridden.  Thoughts?

RadExpand / changing out seat post on a rad expand 5
« on: September 16, 2022, 09:21:19 AM »
So I have the opposite problem that most rider have, I'm short (5'1") and I want to know first the diameter of the seat post to see if I can get a lay-back post where the seat is positioned back. ,  I can still reach the ground when stopped but  have a better pedal stroke for riding.  Because I have the rad basket on, I only have about an inch to work with but feel it will give me the distance for better knee expansion.

General Chat / looking for RAD riders in Portland OR
« on: August 02, 2022, 11:47:20 AM »
Hi I'm in NE and looking for city riders available during the day for some rides.  Also love to do the old highway that has been blocked off for bikes and pedestrians, but need someone with a SUV or truck to get bikes there.

RadExpand / basket on RadExpand 5
« on: June 20, 2022, 11:05:53 AM »
$70 is a bit much for a basket unless it totally useful.  Who has put the small basket on the RadExpand 5 with what I assume is the rad mini rack.  Is it too heavy for this design since the bike is smaller?  I haven't found Rad listing the dimension or weight of it, and it have mixed reviews (mostly people buying the linner without the basket or visa versa), but I this any canvas bag should line it we'll enough for things that might fall out, also bungie cord would keep thing secure.  Does the ABUS fold lock fit, with a say fanny pack?
