Hi, The Radwagon 4 is great. Here is how it should have been built:
1) One battery is unsafe. I have run out with both kids on the back a few times and it's horrible. The range they state in not even close. I added a 52v 2nd battery. Note location in photos.
2) It's slow and unsafe stock. Added a Bolton controller. It pulls hard up hills and goes close to 35MPH. Plus the range with two is great.
3) REALLY unsafe stock brakes. I tried cable pull hydraulic , they are terrible after a short time. I added front and back Avid code 4 piston brakes with 203mm SRAM rotors
4) Trailer hitch (gas pipe) and trailer (amazon). You can carry everything needed and not get sand or whatever in your car plus park right where you camp or whatever.
5) Simple side mirror
6) true 750w Bafang Hubbody
7) extra tube, tire irons and 4 C02 (i have got 3 flats over the last year and had to call friends. Now I can fix a flat on the side of the road)
One Up rack - I can put this heavy bike on this rack and go places...
definitely a cool set up, but one of the lures of Rads are their relative affordability, and with your set up, that bike isn't staying under 2k.
I would definitely love an extra battery set up on my Rad Rover 6+, but I'm too afraid of burning something out.
It would be cool if Rad had these items as options when placing an order, so you’d get them mounted on the frame before it ships.
So far I’ve added the small basket, a suspension seat post, a better saddle, the caboose and Conestoga, Tannus armour, hydraulic brakes, new grips.
