I own a Rad Expand5 and wanted to know if anyone has tried to use the "Kryptonite New York LS Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock Bike Lock" to lock the rear wheel to the frame and also to a on location (not sure what else to call it) bike rack?  Not sure if this U-Lock would be long enough to do so.  Anyone?

General Chat / Handlebar Extender for RAD Expand 5
December 09, 2022, 01:48:38 AM
I've been having difficulties finding a Handlebar Extender that will grab onto the RAD Expand 5 handlebar crossbar.  The Handlebar Extender I have I can't get tight enough around the this crossbar.  Has any had any luck with this or does anyone know the actual diameter of this crossbar (see image below).  Any help would be most appreciated.  Thanks!

General Chat / CYCPLUS A2 Air Inflater - Hose Retainer
August 02, 2022, 01:45:58 AM
I purchased a CYCPLUS A2 Air Inflator (https://amzn.to/3BFp1da) and my only complaint is the slot that holds the hose doesn't really hold the hose.  So I find myself storing the hose elsewhere while the pump is mounted in the included bike pump mount.  I was wondering if anyone has successfully found a way to keep this inflator hose stored in the slot without it just falling out while riding.

General Chat / ABUS NutFix - Seatpost Clamp
April 17, 2022, 10:09:55 AM
Hello All and wishing everyone out there a Happy Holiday. 

Has anyone had any success with the ABUS NutFix - Seatpost Clamp (https://amzn.to/3EVPQcP) on their RAD Power Bike?  I have a RAD Expand 5 and according to the specs the bike came with a Quick Release (31.8 mm diameter) but I'm not sure which size ABUS NutFix - Seatpost Clamp to order.  Has anyone out there had any success with this?

Re: Ergon - GP1 Ergonomic Lock-on Bicycle Handlebar Grips.  I wear either a small or medium glove.  These grips come in Small or Large.  Does anyone own a set of these Grips to advise whether I should go with the Small or Large?  Thanks in advance

General Chat / LCD Screen Theft Deterrent

Has anyone come across any deterrent for LCD Screen Theft on their Rad Power Bike?   I'm going to put a siren/alarm on the bike but was wondering if anyone else had good recommendations.

General Chat / Kinekt Seat Post
April 01, 2022, 07:35:42 PM
Looking at the Kinekt Seat Post that you have has a recommended seat post for the RAD power bikes (specifically RADExpand 5).  I realize that I need to get a 27.5mm diameter but struggling with the length.  The SR Suntour that Rad sells is 27.2 mm x 400 mm.  So I figure I would need a legnth of 400mm on the Kinekt.  Unfortunately the carbon fiber max length is 380mm and the aluminum comes in a length of either 350mm or 420mm.  The Carbon Fiber comes in a length of 330mm or 380mm.  What is the best fit length for the RadExpand 5?  Does anyone know?

Is there anyone that can make a recommendation on Tote for the RadExpand 5?  I'm trying to squeeze this thing into the back of my Plugin Prius with the seats down so I would really appreciate a recommendation

I'm wondering if it is possible to upgrade the mechanical disc brakes on the Rad Expand 5 to hydraulic disk breaks?  If so, has anyone had any success?

Has anyone tried using the Cascade Manufacturing Rack Deck Plate Compatible with Topeak MTX (https://amzn.to/3DuZtyB) on the RAD Expand 5?  I'm just trying to find out if anyone had any compatibility issues.
