Tapatalk is on the list still to fix. I like that it makes the forum super easy for mobile but on the downside, we can't show ads which means there is less chance of direct support from users that use Tapatalk.

For example - https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,9719.msg24710.html#msg24710

Also getting this red fault message in the editor, even if there aren't supposed to be any attachments (like in this post).

QuoteThe message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:

On the other hand, we can now give temperatures because the degrees º symbol works. Yay!

We believe the attachments are all working now. Let me know if you continue to have issues.

Will look into this - thanks

The forum hadn't been updated in some time, so it was time to get updated! You'll notice it looks slightly different, but it also operates better on mobile. If you notice any issues post them below. Otherwise, as always I appreciate everyone's support of using our Rad links before you buy (even if it is just an accessory).

We've got a bunch of new Rad content coming on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/ebikeescape

By the way, related to the new batteries on the Rad Power Bikes 2024 lineup - they now have a self-resetting fuse. On the old shark style batteries it was easier to replace the fuse. From my understanding on the RadRover 6+ and RadCity 5+ you had to disassemble the battery. There were several examples I saw of people sticking their keys accidentally into the charge port. Now if the fuse gets tripped, it resets itself. Seems like Rad was listening...

Can say after hauling hundreds of ebikes on the QuickrStuff that it is superior, especially for my use case of hauling so many different ebikes. I believe code "ebikeescape" should still get you $25 off - (I get no kickback, just something they gave me to help our audience after we said we'd feature their rack in a video). The 1Up did hold up well in my experience for the 1+ year I used it.

I honestly haven't taken a deep look at the new models as I just found out about them the day before release. Here they are though: https://bit.ly/3InDL2E

Curious about what everyone thinks, what questions do you have? I have all 4 models en route and full reviews will follow. This is the biggest release from Rad in a long time so I'm really excited to get a close look.

Thanks for the update! I don't spend a ton of time here but always read whenever I see your username

Best of luck with the new gig.

Just a heads up, it turns out that many of the Amazon (and I'd assume Ebay as well) SR Suntour seatposts were counterfeit, apparently even with matching serial numbers to SR Suntour's records. This was confirmed by SR Suntour. Great seatpost- just be careful who you buy from.

As a sidenote we (Ebike Escape) will be launching a seatpost that I think is just as good and I hope to offer it cheaper than $100. Our audience will get a discount so make sure you're on our email list.

We've seen prices all over the board over the last 1, even 2 years with Rad. Seems like they have settled on a new "normal". Curious what others think. The RadRover's now feel appropriately priced even though we've seen "flash sales" of the high step as low as $1,199. The RadTrike also feels competitively priced for what you're getting.

RadRover 6 Plus High Step: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $2,099
RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $2,099
RadExpand 5: Current Price $1,599, Original Price $1,649
RadRunner Plus: Current Price $1,899, Original Price $1,999
RadRunner 2: Current Price starts from $1,399, Original Price $1,499
RadWagon 4: Current Price $1,799, Original Price $1,999
RadCity 5 Plus High-Step: Current Price $1,699, Original Price $1,999
RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru: Current Price $1,699, Original Price $1,999
RadTrike: Current Price $1,499, Original Price $2,499

This isn't just Rad's sale but hopefully helpful for those trying to decide what ebike to get: https://ebikeescape.com/electric-bike-black-friday-sales/

Biggest thing for Rad Power Bikes is the trike is a crazy $1,200 off. At $1,300 it's less than the Lectric XP Trike.

If you are buying an ebike - links within help support the forum and Ebike Escape (Thanks!). If we've missed any deals let me know!

Sorry he hasn't tried it yet.

I believe these prices are pretty close to the lowest I've seen. Particularly I think the RadRover 6 Plus is a great deal at $1,399. Using our link supports the forum at no cost to you: https://bit.ly/47IqWeP

RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru: $1,399
RadWagon: $1,599
RadCity 5 Plus: $1,599
RadRunner Plus: $1,749

JimInPT and Radio Runner I understand your concerns. However I believe the design of the trike addition to the Hollywood rack was engineered and they have checked the weight limits, torque etc that could occur with normal use. During the video they also mention the trike addition should only be used with a class lll hitch. The tongue weight of a class lll hitch is 800 lbs so I don't think failure will be an issue. A class ll hitch has a tongue weight of 350 lbs so I can see how that could be a concern.

Having said that, I am now confident my RW4 would work fine on the Hollywood rack and a class ll receiver hitch. Now I just have to decide on which rack to purchase. The Hollywood rack or the Quikr Mach 2.

I would have liked Ryan to answer my initial question as the Hollywood rack recommends removing the floorboards on the RW before loading. I want to see if they have a "work around" for the issue as I don't want to remove mine before loading and then reinstall them once ready to ride.

We haven't been riding our RadWagon as much this year. We have been putting more miles on the Lectric XPedition (which is easier to load up on our QuikR rack) as well as our Xtracycle. I wonder if the new wheel adapters Hollywood Racks includes would help lift the rear tire up a bit so you didn't have to remove the boards. My brother still uses his RW4 and I gave him the Hollywood Rack - I'll check with him to see how he has managed. Not sure what to say on the weight since it's a limit. Kind of doing it at your own risk I guess.

On the Trike Adapter I will say in talking with some of these rack brands (can't speak for Hollywood) that they do really put them to the limit. From my understanding, they pretty much take them to where they fail in a worst-case scenario off-road and then pull back quite a bit from there due to liability reasons. Technically my vehicle in the video wasn't even rated for the weight of the loaded rack.

Hi all, thought I'd share us putting the RadTrike on a bike rack: https://youtu.be/1Akx1fFT72g
