I wonder if they are still working on this. Both the Android and IOS have not been updated in a year.

How do you like it?  I was thinking of getting one for my Radrover 5.

Hello Rad community:
A normal bicycle steel frame, for example a Trek 970 from 1991, lasts for 200'000 miles or even more. No issues. Replacing the usual spare parts, that's it. Cost per year USD 200,- max..
I have the Radwagon, 1'000 miles on it and I've had all issues. Motor, controller, cables, throttle, battery would not charge, brakes, hubs (not right sealed), bottom bracket. Almost everything is ready for the trash. Ok, Rad is replacing, but this takes weeks and months and a many e-mails and calls.
The Radwagon is just not a good bike, it is not reliable. Compared to the Trek 970 from 1991 it is nothing. Compared to every other bike that I've had or have it's also nothing.
An e-bike has to last at least 30'000 miles without issues. Even more, if it has to replace a car.
No of the Rad Power Bikes lasts as long as 30'000 miles. What Rad does is very bad. Mostly bad stuff form China, bad quality, bad electronic and mechanical parts, very bad durability. Very, very, very bad for the environment! Time consuming for the customers and Rad people. And like this, Rad does not even make good money, if most of the customers have to contact their customer service and get new replacement parts.
With only a little more money they could build bikes like the Trek 970 from 1991. China can also produce good quality that lasts for a long time.
All this is very sad for the good geometries of the Rad bikes.
Shame on Rad! Only seeing money without having satisfied customers won't be working in the short or long run. Nobody would buy cars as bad as Rad Power Bikes.

For people like you it's called Karma...

I am still undecided if I should ride in the rain. Iv'e read where some do and don't have any issues and other have rode in the rain and get a error code.

I ordered some dielectric grease to seal all the connections. I got some ear covers for my turn signal remote and display remote. Still working on something for the display. I ordered a shower cap to see how well that works. What about the battery and controller? are they water proof or should I cover them?

Anything else I am missing? I will ride in a light rain. Not sure if I should in a heavy down pour.

Thanks
Jim

Same here. Got mine off eBay.

Jim

The controller will output a max of 1,680 watts to the motor with the stock 48 volt battery. In the 35amp controller you can set the max watts to the motor.

Jim

I got the RadRover 5. I was a little disappointed in the power. I find it a bit weak for a $1,500 bike. No power for hills. I think it's even under powered on level ground. Maybe I expect to much. The only way to get more torque would be to spend a couple hundred on a controller / display upgrade. I may just do that once the warranty is up.

I was wondering if anyone out there has installed a Rhino skid plate on their Rad Rover? Would like to here some reviews. Thanks

I bought the skid plate off eBay $31. I've only had my Radrover 5 a few weeks but so far no issues. Install was easy.

If you're looking at the Premium headlight check out my video on it. Good comparison to aftermarket options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up_J5PmKHbU

I decided to get the Planet Bike Blaze 800 instead of the Premium Light from RAD. Looks like it throws the light in a bigger area so hopefully I can adjust it so I don't blind on coming cars. If not it will go back to Amazon and I will get the Premium light.

Jim

This is how my delivery track went.

The 130 BCD 44 tooth chainring I received yesterday is too small! Must be a 140 BCD 44 tooth chainring! Time to return and order it! Oops!

Did you ever change out your chainring?

Jim

I bought a torque wrench. I didn't want to over tighten anything. I got a pedal wrench and Park Tools Crow Foot so I can torque the pedals.

Doing some simple math, Rad says the optional light at 500 lumens, is "more" than twice as bright as the stock headlight.  I would be getting it just to be seen better rather than a light for night riding.  It's probably a silly upgrade I know. 

Did the lights you got on Amazon plug into the Rad battery or were they self powered?  Are you doing night riding with it? 2,400 lumens should light up a football field.....

George

It's a self powered light. The light is ok. It's know where near 2400 lumens. I ride my Rover to work so it's dark when I leave at 6:30am. It's a 15 minute ride. I think I want the RAD Premium light. Do you think the light will use much of the battery?

Jim

Signed up. Looking for the Premium light.
