General Chat / Rad Plus Models speed unlock
September 22, 2021, 08:49:37 PM
I was watching the Electrek review of the RadCity 5 Plus and there was mention that the speed unlock is still on the new Plus models. It seems like it hasn't been found yet from my research but I'll post any updates here.  8)

General Chat / Another new Rad model: RadCity 5 Plus
September 22, 2021, 05:07:20 AM
Seems like the "Plus" model trend continues with the RadCity 5 Plus: https://ebikeescape.com/radcity-5-plus-review/

If you decide to purchase one please consider using the forums links to Rad's site prior to purchase. I'll hopefully get my hands on one soon for a full review. My quick take is it is pretty easy to justify the extra $200 compared to the other RadCity models. Curious to hear what others think.

RadMini / RadMini vs Lectric XP 2.0
September 09, 2021, 07:35:53 PM
Thought I'd share a recent video I did on the RadMini vs Lectric XP 2.0. Let me know if I missed anything!

General Chat / Need help thinking through gearing
September 08, 2021, 08:43:56 AM
I am trying to compare the RadMini and Lectric XP 2.0 when it comes to gearing. Particularly when it comes to the high gears.

The RadMini has a 48T crankset up front with an 11-34T freewheel.
The Lectric XP has 52T crankset up front with 14-28T freewheel.

Any experts want to weigh in on which one has higher gearing to be able to continue to pedal at higher speeds? Thanks!

Edit: In doing research these are the gear ratios for the highest gear:
4.36 - RadMini
3.71 - Lectric XP 2.0

Lowest gear:
1.41- RadMini
1.85 - Lectric XP 2.0

So the RadMini has better gearing on the top and low end and is thus more versatile. Let me know if you agree  :)

This is a continuation of my thread that started with our RadWagon 4 display not recording miles or speed: https://www.radowners.com/index.php?board=4.0

The motor is now not functioning at all. At first it was intermittent, we'd have to turn on/off the bike and it would work for a little bit. Now it is completely dead though we do hear a ringing sound from the motor when engaging the throttle. The watts on the display also jump when hitting the throttle. Rad's response was that the new motor on order should fix this issue though the bummer is there is no estimate for when a new wheel assembly will ship. Curious if anyone has run into a similar problem. Fortunately, we have plenty of other ebikes to ride but the Wagon is our family-mobile. We're resorting to the Burley for now.

RadMission / RadMission Accessories
August 25, 2021, 08:13:13 PM
Here are some accessories you may want to consider for your RadMission. It includes both accessories sold from Rad directly as well as some third party ones. I also added links to the kickstands that were mentioned here which surely will be helpful when Rad is out of stock.

Rad Power Bikes just released the Conestoga in the US which is a frame that attaches to the caboose to keep children out of the elements: https://bit.ly/3yrdMRj

While expensive ($299), I can see the value for folks who use their RadWagon to replace car trips. They also sell a separate canopy: https://bit.ly/2X0M2Fb

I'm hoping to get one to review. Curious what others think.

Hi all, just a quick Rad Power Bikes sale alert. You can save $200 on the RadMini and RadMini Step-Thru (New price $1,299). This is a pretty good deal I think and I especially like the RadMini Step-Thru over the original RadMini. Prices good through 8/31/2021 and you can support the forum by using the link below:

General Chat / RadRover 6 Plus!
July 20, 2021, 05:07:37 AM
Rad just released a new model for 2021, the RadRover 6 Plus. Curious to hear what people think: https://bit.ly/3isowrU

Here's our coverage of the new model: https://ebikeescape.com/radrover-6-plus/

I happened to be on Rad's website today and saw two new roll-top liners which are basically bags made for both the small and large baskets. They are pricey at $79 and $109 respectively but for those who want something that just works I thought it was interesting. They still have their small and large basket bags ($49 and $59).

RadWagon / Stripped deflopilator? How to fix
June 20, 2021, 02:20:44 PM
I recently put together a RadWagon 4 and the deflopilator screw which attaches to the front fork had pulled out. I thought it had just come unscrewed but upon further inspection the inside threads had stripped out. Do I try tapping this? Any additional thoughts here? I thought I could do without it but it actually does help to keep the bike straight.

I've been getting a lot of questions about controller settings on the RadWagon 4. While these might not be the settings you should use, they are what we have decided to go with (and we explain why). Enjoy! https://youtu.be/fsbcY91alf0

General Chat / Free Rockbros top tube bags!
June 06, 2021, 05:30:52 PM
Hi all, Ryan here. In a previous thread I had offered some free accessories to active forum members. At this point, I have far too many $60 referral credits at Himiway which means I'd like to send some top tube bags to you! After checking out their accessories the Rockbros bag seems the best option. I'm trying to avoid having users send me addresses so if you want one, PM me, and I'll send you the $60 promo code and you can order yourself (hopefully this works). Here is the link for the bag: https://himiwaybike.com/collections/accessories/products/multifunctional-e-bike-frame-bag

As always, thanks for being a forum member and your support here, my YouTube channel and website www.EbikeEscape.com

RadWagon / Custom Rear Child Seats for the RadWagon
March 28, 2021, 06:05:36 PM
Some of you have been emailing me about how we made the custom rear child seats on the RadWagon 4. I decided to make a video since it was easier to show. Enjoy!
