Hi Rob,
I've owned my Radwagon 4 since July 2021. I wouldn't hesitate to go cycle camping with it. I bought mine to take the place of a car, get some exercise and use for cycle camping.

Once Rad Power Bikes finally gets the large basket and some running boards in stock I'm going to get them and install them and get groceries with it.

No issues thus far with the kickstand springs. Mine appear to have been installed with the springs situated different from the pictures I saw of some failed ones. Not sure, maybe someone new was installing them incorrectly?

I ride mine on pavement, gravel (rail trails), grass etc. I would not attempt to down hill bike or mountain bike with it. It's too big, too heavy and not designed for it.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

Lantzco, that seat lock looks pretty interesting. I'm not interested in the helmet lock as I simply put my lock, cable, chain or whatever I'm using through the helmet straps but definitely interested in the seat clamp/lock.

That hexlox mentioned also got my interest. Still checking out the sizes I need though.

I don't have a lot of accurate information about the front axle but, if I remember correctly, the front axle is 135 mm. Hopefully someone else can chime in and confirm the axle size.
The seat post on my Radwagon4 has two quick releases for the seat. The larger of the two, the outer one, is 34.9 mm and the smaller inner one is 30.9 mm. I believe the rest of the rad bikes have a 27.2 mm seat post. I could be wrong though so you'd better double check first. If you take out the seat post the size is usually stamped on them near the bottom.
I'm also looking to replace the quick release systems for something a little bit more theft preventative so I've been looking at several types. I have settled on the "Pin Head" system but haven't ordered them yet as I haven't confirmed the axle size.

I ordered one Radwagon4 and received three of them. All the same color too. It was fairly simple to return the two extra ones. Initially I phoned Rad and reported it but no one followed up, I presume, from the phone call. I used the customer support site to report it and one of the techs dealt with it from there. Very well taken care of by Rad.

I'm in BC Canada.

I believe the stock motor controller is limited to 22 amps. I believe it is printed on the underside of the controller. That's what Bolton Ebikes said. They also sell a 35 amp controller which can give more power for hill climbing and or carrying stuff so I'm going to consider the controller upgrade eventually. I don't want my Radwagon 4 to go faster, just want it to go stronger.

Hi Ryan,
This is a great list and I'm currently in the market for upgrading some of the accessories for my Radwagon 4 so it's very handy. However, I looked at some accessories from the list here as well as from the list you have on your Ebike Escape website and was unable to find a way to order several items without paying separate shipping fees for each item. That gets prohibitively expensive very quickly.

Is there a way to purchase items through you, from several Amazon vendors, and still only pay one shipping fee? In that way we can support either the forum or your Ebike Escape website?

I'm in Canada and I use Intact insurance for my house and they cover an e-bike up to 500 watts. When I spoke to them they said I didn't need to add any extra insurance as they already include coverage for one e-bike. The bike had to be restricted to the 500 watts mentioned, a top speed of 32 kmh (I think) and they insure up to a maximum of $3000.00 CDN. When I gave them the wattage and top speed of my Radwagon 4 they said it was covered and, if it is stolen, all I need to do is confirm ownership and it would be covered.

If I had a claim I'm guessing they would need some additional information as well but I was happy with their answer. If we get two e-bikes I'll look into additional insurance.

I was unable to find anyone who supplies studded tires for the Radwagon 4 and, due to the design of the tire tread, putting in studs was not practical. However there's a company called "Slipknot" that supplies bicycle tire chains for a variety of sizes. They don't list a size for the Radwagon 4 but when I wrote to them here's the answer I got:

Hey Dave,
We do have that size available I just haven't gotten them on the site yet. If you order the 24"x3" I will make sure you get the correct size. We are waiting on materials but should be shipping by early to mid October. If they are a gift and you need them sooner let me know and I'll see what we can do.
Thanks,
Justin

The tire chains cost about $100.00 a pair (If I remember correctly) and the shipping to Canada is about $35.00. I live in Vernon BC, Canada and we have snow every winter and the sidewalks and bike paths are not cleared much so I am going to need something for the tires in order to ride this winter. I remember using rope and extension cords for tire chains when I was a kid. They/it worked pretty well so I can, sort of, vouch for the tire chains.

I'm Dave, I live in Vernon BC Canada and I'm the new owner of a Radwagon 4. I like to be active and love cycling but am unable to use a regular bike now. The Radwagon 4 was a great choice as I'm hoping it will eventually be a car replacement.

That's a nice option Mori55. Thank you. I'll be thinking of something like that instead of the small cylinders I was originally talking about. They seem to be getting good reviews too.

RiderDan, thank you. I couldn't think of what to call them. Co2 inflator. Cool. I think I'll try them to see how much they inflate the tires as I have small ones (volume wise I hope so) on my Radwagon 4.
Once I get some, I'll let the air out of one of my tires until it's "flat" and then use one or two of them to inflate it and maybe it would be "enough" to get me home, so to speak. Of course if they don't inflate it enough I will simply pump the tire the rest of the way up but I will let everyone know how it works.

Hello everyone. I'm a new Rad owner and also new to this forum.
My question is, Has anyone used the small compressed air cylinders to refill their tubes after they have repaired a flat? If so, what adapter was used to make it compatible with the schrader valves on our bikes?
By small compressed air cylinders I am referring to the small ones that used to be used for BB guns, inflating balloons etc. I think one can still find them at hobby stores but I'm not sure anymore as it's been a few decades since I saw them. They're only about three inches long and 3/4 to one inch wide but they contain a fairly high volume of air.
I think carrying one or two of them would make re-inflating a tire less of a chore and would take less time than pumping the tire up. Might even make for a smaller toolkit too.
