Hi Everyone! New forum member and new RadPower bike owner here. I bought a RadRover 6 Plus at the Vancouver stores Garage Sale about two weeks ago. I freaking love it so far! I have already racked up about 300 KM of riding so far. Cannot get enough. I am using it for all kinds of errands in my neighborhood in Burnaby, BC, Canada. There are several shops within 5-7 KM of my home. My car is getting jealous!
My question is, what is everyones favourite accessory? I bought the rack and the small basket from RadPower. I love both. I wanted to get the large basket, but it has been out of stock for awhile. I also got the Hafny bar end mirror (love it) and a cell phone holder (cannot remember the brand).
SR Suntour SP12 NCX bike Suspension Seatpost with Cover (27.2mm x 350mm) (https://amzn.to/3yKBhGX) from Amazon you'll love it.
I had a large basket and it was too big. I rarely filled it. It was also in the way of the seat so my post wouldn't spring in to action. You can mount it sideways but I wasn't interested in that. I personally would stick with the small basket.
I've tweaked and added quite a few things to my MiniST2, some trivial, some major. I'd say the biggest and best would be the 35A controller upgrade from Area13, closely followed by a Redshift seat-suspension post and the Area13 hybrid mechanical-hydraulic brake calipers. But even the $13 much-louder mechanical bell to supplement the feeble factory dinger is very worthwhile, as are the mirrors etc.
I sort of went nuts over the last couple years accessorizing, but each had a reason to buy and a purpose to exist on the bike.
And howdy to the newbie from a fellow nerd.

I agree with you; the small basket works 95% of the time for me and I can work around the other 5% with bungees and a cargo net. Additionally, mounting the large basket on a folding Rad keeps it from folding up all the way.
Phone mount and and rear rack with a topcase.
Number 1 here was fenders since mine didn?t come with any. Number 2 is a 2nd battery and charger.
Wondering about Hafny mirror. From Amazon? Which one did you get?
