Hi all,

Has anyone in the Forum done the Hiawatha Trail on their Rad bikes? Some are saying they might now allow Class 2 bikes on the trail.

TIA

Hi everyone in Rad Land.

Is there anyone out there that is using a Garage Gator lift or any other type of lift system to store your Rad bikes from the ceiling? We have two Rovers with racks on the back and I am having a hard time figuring out how to anchor the bikes on the lift. All the pictures of bikes are hung by the seat post and that seems like an excessive amount of weight to put on the seat when it is lifted up. I have regular bikes hung from the seat post with no issue, but they only weigh 20 or 25 lbs; these behemoths are much heavier!

The lift will handle 225 lbs, so not a problem for two heavy ebikes; however, figuring out a way to hook them up is the issue.

TIA all! 

Hello,

Help!!!

I am looking into e-bikes and am looking at the RadCity for my wife and myself. The RadCity looks like it will fit our needs, except in one area that is quite important. We live on a fairly good-sized hill and I haven't been able to find out definitively whether the Direct Drive motor is going to have enough torque (40Nm) to get us up the hill and beyond without a lot of additional effort. We don't care for the fat tires of the Rover, which has the geared motor with 50Nm torque, which I'm sure is better on the hills.

I did read the thread about the gentleman who had the City as well and had hill issues, but I didn't come away feeling the question was answered, maybe I missed it!

If there is anyone out there that has the City and can give me a warm fuzzy that it will be adequate for sustained inclines, I would appreciate it very much. I have looked at the Ride1Up Lmtd and it appears to be a killer on hills; however, it is $300-400 more and no fenders or rack.

Any advice on a particular bike that will comfortably handle hills would be appreciated as well. 

TIA
