Title: Moving seat backwards on Radrover 6+
Post by: mundie on November 04, 2022, 10:59:18 AM
Hey friends, I just recently got a new Radrover 6+ last week and its been awesome. However, I am 6'2" tall and most of my height is in my torso so I feel uncomfortably close to the handlebars when I ride this bike, and it is almost forcing me to sit further back on the seat.

Has anyone explored any solutions around sliding the seat backwards a couple inches? I don't know if third party bike posts that may support this would fit the bike either, as I am fairly new to the whole e-bike scene. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Had same issue and moved seat back but then had too much weight forward causing my forearms to get fatigued/sore next day. In talking to bike shop they suggested for taller riders sitting more upright can help. Got this and it solved my feeling cramped/too close and forearm soreness. Hope it can help, being Amazon if it doesn't free return.

I'm 6'1, and on my RadRover, my solution turned out to be with a stem addition that raised the handle bars up 3'' and the moving of my seat as far forward as possible. This created an upright cruising position that was easier on my back and forearms while providing a more leisurely posture.
A cloud 9 seat with springs atop a thudbuster LT suspension also helped.
