Hi, just wanted to introduce myself and my 2020 radrover stepthru 1.
purchased used from offerup for $400
cranks were stripped out beyond repair and the tire was flat
new cranks and pedals, and some simple air in the tire, and the bike was alive again.
i rode it for about a week and immediately felt the urge to upgrade.
new rear rack bag, and front basket were added, along with a new rechargeable led headlight
after about another week and roughly 100 miles, i splurged for the electro bike world 35a controller.
this is where she sits now.
new grips, and thumb throttle is in the mail, should be here and installed tomorrow.
also, the speed controller is mounted terribly, with longer screws on top and zip ties on bottom. been scratching my head to figure a better solution, any tips?
VERY curious about the 750w bafang hub motor upgrade from electro bike world, that will probably be my next major upgrade.
ive also been looking at new tires, fat tires are expensive!!
i found a set of "spider" tread wanda king tires on ebay for $13 each, anyone have experience with these? i might just buy them because of the extreme bargain.
anyways, im in snohomish, washington, about 40 minutes north of seattle. if anyone here is nearby and would like to meetup and go for a ride, im very curious to meet other rad owners and hear their perspective on ownership.
i will most likely be using this thread for a build/picture dump and post general questions or experiences. lots of useful info here, excited to learn and ride more!
