Fantastic setup on my RAD Expand 5.

I received my Rad Expand 5 in about a week (shipping to Florida).  But .... the accessories are going on 4 weeks.  Extra battery has still not shipped.

Thank you!  It would have helped if I washed to review.  The ONLY Ergon Grips that will work on the RADExpand 5 and the RADMini (I assume other RAD bikes as well) are the Ergon GP1 Grips (Rohloff/Nexus) which ONLY come in 1 size --> Large. 

@crorris - Wow thank you SO SO much for the feedback.  If I wear a medium glove (in your opinion) which is much smaller then a XL Glove, do you think I would get away with using the Large Grips instead of the Small?  Again, in your opinion and I know allot of this is subjective.

@Rover - Do you own the Ergon - GP1 grips?  If so, what size grip do you prefer (Large or Small)?

Radio Runner -  thank you for your reply.  Let me ask you this .... if you were to wear any type of glove, what size glove would you wear?  That will give me. reference point.  I only ask because they said the Large Grips are for people who wear a Large or X-Large Glove and the Small is for someone that would wear a Small or Medium Glove.  A small glove is tight on me.  I medium fits good.  A large glove on my hands would be way way to big. 

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

Does anyone know what controller ships with the RadExpand 5?  I'm wondering because I was trying to see if the KT-LCD8H Color Display is compatible with the RadExpand 5. --> https://electrobikeworld.com/products/kt-lcd8h-color-for-rad

Here is a good video showing how easy it is to do this upgrade yourself --> https://youtu.be/4Xa0zp37eXc

JimInPT .... thank you for your response.  I will wind up ordering from Bolton as well.  I appreciate your feedback.  With regards to adjustments, I realize that adjustments will have to be made over time and at the beginning with cable stretch that all makes sense.  You bring up excellent points that making adjustments on the Juintech calipers are made simply without tools.  In the end, that sounds like it is going to be a better experience in the end.  Again thank you for your input.

Kari,

Area13 appears to ship international.  I would drop them an email to info@boltonebikes.com to see if they will ship to your location.  I'm not sure if anyone else has come across  a Hydraulic Caliper in Europe that can advise you better.

Wow the The Juintech M1 hydraulic calipers seems like a really easy upgrade to do myself.  Has anyone been successful with this upgrade on a RAD bike that they could share their experience and how well they work?  My goal is to reduct the amount of break adjustments.  I'm hoping that hydraulic calipers will require less maintenance.  I also noticed a color difference on the Calipers that are sold from Area13 and Amazon.  Does anyone know the difference other than color?

Hello all, I've been riding a good part of my life (both on the road and off-road).  I'm from NJ and spend a bit of time in South Florida as well.  With the gasoline crunch, I needed like so many others, a way of getting around.  I'm a few years from retirement and looking to RV.  The RADExpand 5 seemed to fit the bill for me so I ordered it this past Friday.  Looks like allot of fun.

Wiser maybe?   To be honest with you I never heard of them until I started searching around.  They are not cheep but of me it is worth it.  Thanks and ride safe.

NaturallyRC - No sorry for the confusion.  I wasn't speaking of clipless pedals.  There are pedals now that have a quick disconnect.  So the pedals can easily be removed and placed back onto the bike.  This gives me the little extra room I needed to get the bike into the tote (which was very important to me).
