I got the email that they were back in stock and ordered two immediately thinking they wouldn't last long. Also they refunded me 32.00 for shipping because at the time I ordered, I hadn't received my bikes yet. BTW received my Radrover 5 Wednesday and wow, this thing is better than I thought it would be.

I just ordered 2 of the Radrover racks and it rang up to $201.00. Almost changed my mind, $30.00 for shipping is robbery but I really wanted this rack.

You could remove the front tire easily with the quick release and mount it to a front fork adapter. There are numerous ways to do this if you are handy.

Mine got updated again from tomorrow to Thursday. It decided it wanted to spend three days in Arkansas for some reason. Feel like I am being held hostage.

Mine is in transit on its way to Mississippi. The FedEx system said it was in Utah earlier and now in Nebraska.

No mine didn't come today either. Fedex now says tommorow sometime. But to be fair we were under a Hurricane warning.

Yes I understand his negative sentiment towards online sales especially RAD. Just read an article on Electrek that RAD controls 25% of the US market and the other 75% is spread out across 100 brands.

My Radrover is set to ship soon so I visited a local bike shop to look at a new helmet. Got to talking to the owner and one thing led to another and I had mentioned I recently purchased a ebike online and would be receiving it soon. He responded and said I hope it isn't one of those RAD bikes. Well I answered yes, his reply from a bike mechanics point of view was he just didn't like them. He didn't elaborate much nor did I expect him to, he did say they should be a lot of fun but you are basically on your own when it comes to service. But to be fair that is his policy with any online bike. This does have me somewhat concerned though with no RAD service in my geographic area.

Just received and email today saying my Radrover 5 is scheduled to deliver mid September but crap the Radrover ST has been pushed out to mid October. This is BS, I cancelled a trip in mid to late September and rescheduled it in mid to late October because of these stupid bikes.

I think the problem is that unless you tie down the back of the bike, it'll try to twist around the pivot point with every bump and lateral change in weight.


Yeah good point. I believe I can build something with wood across the width of the bed that would keep the bike from sliding plus be able to tie the back down.

Ordered a Radrover 5 and ST July 31; still waiting. I inquired a while back, they told me late Sept for the 5 and probably early Oct for the ST. Hope they can get here earlier.

General Chat / Fork Mount for Transporting Radrover
September 07, 2020, 12:41:18 PM
I have 2 Radrovers on order and need to carry them in the bed of my truck with the tailgate closed when towing my camper. I would like to be able to remove the front tire and secure the front fork on a fork mount. I have read where they don't recommend that for ebikes due to the weight. Has anybody tried this with success, don't want to damage anything?

Thanks cal and JimA I will at least try and see what a pain it is to lift them and hang them over the tailgate first before dropping the 450 for a rack.
B-rye have you had any success with this option? This is the route I am considering with the same two bikes. I am looking at some foldable alum ramps to load them in the bed and then just lift the front fork over the tailgate.
