Not really any bike racks where I live. Well not at any of the stores I go to. So far I have never locked my bike up any where but if I did I would take the battery with me.

If it's to cold and I wear glasses my eyes water from the cold so I now wear goggles which work great. The only issue I have is, if it's foggy out my goggles get a lot of condensation on the outside of the goggles and I can't see. Does anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

There has been more and more BBB complaints. They have a BBB rating of 3.05.

3.05 out of what - 4, 5 ..... 10?

I'm use to pretty much every place using 5 star rating so I didn't think to put it. I updated my post.

I've never had to plug in the charger to the battery first then the charger to the wall until I bought a RAD bike. Seems like a bad design or designed to sell more batteries. Sounds like a Recall to me but I doubt that will happen. As time goes by there is more and more bad things with RAD products and service. More and more BBB complaints also.

Sounds like RAD should do a Recall.

Here's a link to cables on Amazon.

I bought this one also two years ago for Radrover 5 and it's been working fine. It is a little tight going in but it does.

RadExpand / Re: Will it Fit in____Trunk

Let's add to this, will it fit in the back seat of X car.

My issue is we have a 2020 Camry with no hitch. Adding a hitch is out of the question. Taking my Rover 5 is out o the question. I been wanting to get my wife a electric bike but no way to haul both unless one fits in the trunk and the other fits in the back seat so I have been looking at folding bikes. Two Radexpands would be pricey. I been looking at other brands like Lectric XP 2.0. I do like the Radexpand better though but there is a large price difference.

Thank you SO much! Exactly what I needed!
What is the milk crate for?

It's for milk... just kidding. I guess you could strap the milk crate to your bike rack to haul stuff.

Could be I?ve sent pics to Rad. I?ll post their response. They have become so slow though.

You ever hear back from RAD? I'm curios to know what they are.

Seems like some confusion between baskets and carry hitch's. Please educate me,

I removed my post. I misread the post. In my mind I thought they were asking about a Trunk Rack to haul their bike but they are actually looking for a Trunk bag for the back of their bike.

I bought the Ibera ‎IB-RA5 Bike Rack and Ibera ‎Ib-ba11 Bike Trunk Bag for Radrover 5. I have been very happy with both. Been using them since late 2020 with no issues. The rack also fit my 2022 Trek Dual Sport 3 bike.

I bought the same rack that is on my Rover and now I can switch all 3 bags in less than a minute. I've spent about $600 in accessories so far.

I bought a Radrover 5 in 2020. Still going but I did get Error 25 but after unplugging the brake light is fine. I bout a $1,000 Trek bike a couple months a go as a backup but I'm getting the itch for another bike.

How many and what type you own? How many is to many?

That would suck with all those fumes. I didn't think about that.
