I purchased three Thumb throttle thingies from a person on Etsy.  I did a trial fit and we just felt more comfortable with the regular wrist throttle so we decided the thumb throttle are not for us.
So if anyone is interested in one just send me a private message and I will send one free of charge including shipping to the lower 48 states.

Thanks

Helpful information JoeUtah, thank you. I'll be sure to let off the throttle a bit and use leg power on steep hills.

yeah, the radrunner 1 has no way to change gears...but in the year i've been riding it through mixed terrain areas, i've never really felt the need.

i've also been riding a juiced hyperscorpion for the last 9 months, which has an 8-speed shimano cassette.

in those 9 months i may have shifted...twice, maybe.

You're in better shape than I am then lol lol but im working on it!  I know in my Rad Rover I'm going through all the gears. I'm trying to not to go past 3 on peddle assist...trying.

Yes, still a bit considering if I'm getting the plus version or not. The only negative thing is it's only a viable in silver. Wouldn't think twice, if there is a black version.

Understood, I too was not too keen on the silver color they went with. The green imho is awesome then of course black is always in style  .  I mean you could always have it repainted just make sure you are certain on the type of terrain you will be riding in.  Florida flat, well R-Runner1 would be great...anything else with hills, a geared rear end will be nice....imho.

Only 42 scratch that, 41 post to go...

I thought the Rad runner 2 had gearing and the regular rad runner was single speed

Yes, you are correct. The R-runner1 is a single speed where as the R-runner-Plus is a 7 speed like the R-rover 5.  We have a R-rover 5 and a R-runner1 and just put an order in for the R-runner Plus. From my experience I prefer the 7 gears over the single geared R-runner-1 ..Hands down gearing is your friend, at least in my case 

Hello all you Rad people out there, just joined this site almost a month ago and I guess I forgot to introduce myself. 

My name is Roberto from sunny southern California and I/we purchased two Rad Rover 5's (son and myself), one Rad Runner 1 (for my wife). We absolutely loved the bikes and it shows so now my older son and daughter just placed an order for another Rad Runner 1 and are on the list for a Rad Runner Plus which should ship sometime in April.

We like to roam around town on weekends and have discovered so many local shops along with small mom and pop restaurants that we never knew existed, it's great. We also happen to live in micro brewery central and have gastro-pubs all within a few mile radius so we get to go out and discover new and interesting brew and enjoy great tasting food.  And to think all this was (discovered) made possible thanks to our Rad bikes!
Thank you Rad power for making an awesome well made ebike!

Hi, this one here is what I bought after it being recommended here on this site. Fits great.

I went ahead and purchased the Ibera IB-RA5 rack off Amazon along with the cable which should arrive Monday or so.

Just for "S&G" I went back to Rad Power website just to see if their rear rack was available and wouldn't you know it, it was but only in the bright orange which I'm totally fine with. I went ahead and purchased one for our other Rad Rover. I should have bought two, I went back to buy another one but they were now out of stock oh well at least now I can compare the Ibera and Rad Powers rack.

Wider and longer? Not sure if wider fenders are available but as far as longer goes, you could always get some rubber flaps and possibly rivet/screw them in place. I haven't done it myself just tossing out ideas.

In the link it shows it tied to the forks but I don't see why you would be able to mount it to the fender...You'd have to modify the fender of course.

Right on, thank you!

I got the Ibera IB-RA5 rack off Amazon. Currently it's $40. I also got the Ibera IB-BA9-PAIR Panniers and Ibera IB-BA11 trunk bag. I got everything September last year and have put 500 miles on my RadRover 5. So far everything has been fine and no issues with the rack, panniers or trunk bag. The rack went on my RadRover fine with no modifications.

Awesome! thank you for posting up.

Bikes did arrived as planned and I will be assembling them this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Charging the batteries as I type this.

Question for you, did the rear brake light cable reach the mounting point on the rack? or will it need an extension to make it mount up without putting strain on the cable itself?

Thanks again!

Hello all,
Fedex is scheduled to drop off my RR5 bike's today. When I purchased them earlier this week I wanted to add the rear rack but they were out of stock with no ET of being back in stock anytime soon.  What other rear rack will work for our Ebikes? Thanks!

I did see a couple in the accessories post pinned at the top of this forum.

Do those need to be modified or are they bolt on?

Thanks again.
