Service & Repair / Uneven tire wear
Last post by ARM - July 07, 2025, 10:11:03 PM
How many have seen significant wear between the right and left sides of your tires?  I'm curious if it is really due to road crown?

Service & Repair / Key for Dolphin Battery
Last post by maggletooth - July 07, 2025, 11:09:28 AM
I can't believe how hard it is to find any support for 2017 bikes :-(

At a minimum, I just need a key for the 2017 dolphin battery - any ideas? I have looked far and wide to no avail...

My daughters RR6 battery did the same thing over last winter. As hers was still under warranty, they replaced the battery, all good now.

Essentially the same for me. Charged the thing just once, stored in the bike indoors without temperature changes and now (it's fully discharged says the bike) no lights or signs of life when attempting to charge it a second time.

Any help would be appreciated!

Last post by bowlerbikes - June 23, 2025, 01:57:41 PM
I have a legacy (2019 Radwagon 3) caboose available.  My kid has grown out of it and I have the deckhand installed instead now.  Just looking to get it out of my garage and give it a new home. 

I'm in Massachusetts.  Local pickup would be ideal, but if you're willing to pay shipping, we can probably work that out.

I like the tighter steering and the ability to steer from the rear when pushing or pulling it into bike a bike rack or around the garage. I can lift it one handed off the center stand move it easily. It also compliments my seat which is the result of my attempt at upholstery.

RadRover / Rover 6 Plus replacement brake...
Last post by seand1109 - June 21, 2025, 09:02:19 AM
Been looking for replacement brakes because the Nutt front brake is leaking fluid. I called Seattle store and was told the front brake system, complete unit from caliber to handle, is 900cm and the rear is 1650. Not sure that is correct.

I have been on line shopping and have found a 900cm but not a 1650. I also stopped at a couple of bike stores but nothing on hand and to order they want to see the bike. Any suggestions? It the rear the correct length? If the hydraulic line is too long, will it still work?

Any brake manufacture that has the proper brakes will work.

I have the exactly the same problem. I have the EU version of the bike. Have tried al the suggestions, nothing is the solution.

Does anybody know how to enter the service menu for the RadRhino 6 plus = radrover 6+ in the US.

Last post by tinus - June 19, 2025, 12:15:55 PM
Hi,

I think I encountered the same issue and the noise seems similar. When starting to pedal at low speed all is fine, when the speed increases a little bit the noise starts and it sort of feels/sounds like something is touching the tire (although it is not).

I started removing the wheel to inspect the motor when I realised I still have 2 months warranty left, so I reinstalled the wheel and tested the bike again and the problem was gone (for now).

So the only thing I can think of that may have solved the problem is disconnecting the cable to the motor, maybe a faulty contact? Does anyone with knowledge of how the motor works can make sense of this?
