RW4 owners with tire troubles, make yourself heard. This is a serious safety issue even if you have the skills and $ to resolve it yourself.

Hi all- I took delivery of a RadWagon 4 yesterday afternoon. Assembled it (the boss for the deflipilator was stripped, but I finished putting it together anyway). All checked out and I was on my first test ride, 1.5 blocks from my house, when the rear tube burst. I had filled it to 55 lbs because I'm a bigger guy. (I also have been working on bikes for 20 years- I'm not a pro, but I'm far from a rookie.)

Luckily I had ordered two replacement tubes 'just in case,' and they were to be delivered today. Then, about 10 pm, as I sat inside, I heard a boom from the garage. The front tube had exploded for no reason as I sat inside!

So the new tubes came late today. I replaced the rear one, filled to just 40 lbs this time (the book recommends 50 and the tires say 35-65), then came inside to eat. As I was getting ready to go out and replace the front, I heard another pop. The new rear tube burst as the bike sat, upside down, in the garage, with only 40 lbs in it!

The tiny bit I rode the bike was great but this is just not acceptable. I have no confidence in these parts and I'm thinking I need to return the bike as long as there is no other source for them. The rad power CS rep I talked to this morning was nice and there are free replacements n the way, but c'mon!
