Hi
I preordered a Radrover Step Thru, it has yet to ship but I’m trying to put together the accessories I need now.
I need to carry some luggage options to accommodate some light camera gear and a small tripod, a rear rack should help with this. (I intend to take photos around town and down gravel roads with more freedom to stop randomly then a car would allow)
I’ve seen two racks mentioned on this forum (with the Radpower rack constantly out of stock) Topeak and Ibera. The topeak was out of stock from anyone who might ship to me, and the Ibera Ra5 was available on Amazon.ca
Well... I hesitated.... I intended to research more on its compatibility with trunk bags etc... and then I was hit hard this last week with 12hr+ shifts because I had co-workers go into quarantine (they were healthy it was a precaution)
Now that I finally have my head above water, I find that that both racks are out of stock everywhere.
So... are these three out of stock racks my only option? How picky is the Radrover for compatibility? If I’m going to try an unrecommended rack from Amazon, I’m going to have to wait until I have bike in hand, so I can return to Amazon in short order. My local bike shop has almost no selection for racks.
Ideally I would like to rig up the bike when it arrives and launch as envisioned.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
Many standard bike racks will fit. I got this one on Amazon.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210603/c3db13b579becbaea85b87c266df8c3d.jpg)

Take a look at this one from Amazon. I purchased it and it fits my Rover just perfect.....

I bought a slightly (100 km)used Rover with no rack . No stock at RadPower so purchased a rack for Volt Yukon 750 . $49 +$9.99 shipping ( MB ). Sits a little further back than "RP" rack but that's okay it looks great . You can buy a brake light extension cable from RP to relocate the brake light to the rack. ($ 7 )
I had exactly the same problem, required a rear carrier for my Nikon, a few lenses, and a lightweight tripod. I found a nice, sturdy one on AliExpress. This carrier is not designed for a passenger, unlike the Rad one. Picture attached.
