I swapped the RAD seat to a 2023 Trek suspension seat. After nearly 40 km it became unbearable to continue riding. I took off the RAD seat because I wanted to use Treks suspension post. I'll test how the RAD seat with the Trek post next.

General Chat / Display going bad the second t...
Last post by AlanCurran - Today at 02:38:25 PM
Hi All,
I own a Rad Plus 6. About two years ago the display went crazy. I called Rad spoke to a representative sent a picture of the display. They agreed there was a problem and sent a replacement.That was only after 329 miles. Now the display failed again will on a trip to Pittsburg. Called Rad again expecting a sorry that failed again "I will send you out a replacement free of charge" NOT just a purchase order for $127.00. Not happy. Has anyone out had the same problem? The replacement failed at 300 mile. Not sure I can afford to ride this bike act that cost per mile.
Thank for any input.
Alan

you should email them.  they can tell you if the Runner 2 isn't compatible.  They are good at responding.

General Chat / Hi everyone
Last post by samsonwilliams - May 08, 2024, 08:19:06 PM
Hi everyone. After doing some online research I was strongly leaning towards choosing a RadRover e bike. My wife and I are lucky enough to live reasonably close to the Rad store in Berkeley Ca. We went in for a test drive and came home with a white RadRover 6+ ST for me and a white Expand 5 for her. We?re in our 60?s and it?s been a while since we?ve done any riding. We are looking forward to taking them camping and exploring the parks.

That would work; you need a 48V power supply.

Hi, is there a way to check the bike display without a battery? I bought the bike missing the battery and don't want to buy a new battery if something else is wrong. Someone told me to hook a DC power supply to it to test with same voltage. Bike is a Rad Rover 6 Plus.

Hello, I tried the local shop and they told me to ask RadPower... who keeps sending me the wrong spokes  ::)  :'(

Any hint or someone that has a Radwagon 2019 and could measure the spokes ? My Rad is at the shop and I can not measure myself.

Quote from: inoxa on May 07, 2024, 06:49:43 AMManuals from older RAD batteries say battery must be turned off to charge. 
Key ON was just to check the charge state with the battery's own LEDs, without being hooked up to a charger.
