Hi all, I'm an ebike noob and the hand grips are facing upward on my preowned (new to me) RadWagon 4.
How do I adjust the hand grips to be in the correct position? Would I pop off the bar end plastic cap with a screw driver and loosen it from the bar end? I'm not sure how to correct the hand grip angle. Any advice? This noob thanks you!!
Thanks!
Yep..it's what I did to remove my grips too. Pop the end caps off. I took a little plastic pry tool to wedge it in between the grip and handlebar, sprayed a little alcohol inside and your grips should start moving with ease.

Ok cool, thanks Spyder. I'll be doing hand grip & kickstand spring surgery on my ebike soon. Those seem to be the 2 fixes it needs.
However you get the grips off (I use window cleaner like Windex and/or compressed air) be sure to clean out the inside of the grips really good and wipe the bars down with a alcohol wipe. Putting the grips back on I use a shot of clear spray pain inside the grip(s) right before installing them. The grip will stay in place after the spray paint dries. Another option is lock-on style grips. I might get some of them next as I have very little experience with lock-on style grips but everyone swears by them staying in place. Another thing I've learned, pleather (fake or real leather grips) get slippery as a eel when they get wet! My Pedego came with some of those grips and they were terrifying in the rain!
Thanks for the tips! This will be my first time fixing hand grip position and I appreciate the tips!
