I see no shame in wanting to learn something even if it's how to change tires. I had a little difficulty learning too, although I think my not learning easily  had to do with me not wanting to get down and dirty.

As electric bikes like Rad Power Bikes gain popularity, are we witnessing the decline of traditional pedal-powered cycling, or is there a harmonious future where both coexist? How do Rad Power Bikes owners view the balance between technology and tradition in cycling?

Service & Repair / Noob, picked up a project bike...
Last post by Houston - February 17, 2025, 03:46:01 PM
No laughing! OK laughing's fine. After retiring my brother and I are getting power bikes. I've picked up a Radrunner Plus at a police auction, where my brother is looking at new. It has no battery and it the shifting cable is broken. A couple questions if I may.

First - How likely is it that the bike will run with a new battery? It looks in good shape but I've no clue what to look for.

Second - If I'm not throwing good money after bad what recommendations would you have for a great battery.

Third - It has a factory controller. Do they go bad? If so, is the Bolton upgrade the way to go?

Again, I'm painfully NOOB so any information will be greatly appreciated. But if trying to fix a project bike is a bad idea I'd rather buy new.

Respectfully

Did you manage to fix your washing machine? I have exactly the same problem. Can't get the filter cap off my Hotpoint to check if anything is stuck. Or any recommendations for who I can ask for help?

With the rise of electric bikes like those from Rad Power Bikes, are we witnessing the beginning of a new era in urban transportation, or are these bikes simply a temporary trend that will fade away as quickly as they appeared? What factors will determine their long-term impact on city commuting? ( darknet markets  darknet drug links darkmarket url   ) what is mean? and for what i getting it every day in my PM?

Service & Repair / Headlight turned off disables ...
Last post by Jay West - February 15, 2025, 10:05:32 AM
I have a Rad City 5 Plus that runs fine when I turn on the power but if I turn off the headlight the ebike will not operate (no power).   If I turn off the bike and restart the bike runs fine.  It doesn't function if I turn off the headlight.  Any ideas what the problem could be?

Quote from: John Rose on February 10, 2025, 01:22:37 PMI got the LCD Upgrade for my RadExpand 5, which did come with (I think) rubber spacers.

You could just cut up an old inner tube or some neoprene strips from a rubber boot or some such for DIY spacers. If from an inner tube it may require 1 1/2 wraps, maybe 2 to get good compression.

Or use many wraps of cloth-type hockey tape (aka "friction tape"). It's my new favourite secret weapon.

Also, maybe spiral cable wrap, like this stuff, in different colours and diameters:

I'm not absolutely sure if it would be thick enough.
It's also handy (no surprise) for tidying up wiring and brake cable bundles.

Thanks!
Yes, DIY looks like the ticket. The spacer would need to be 22mm->30mmm, more or less. I spoke (chat) with Rad support and bought the LCD mounting bracket hoping it would include the spacers, but it didn't.

RadRover / Radrover and Radcity Controlle...
Last post by iso900 - February 12, 2025, 10:37:03 PM
Hi

Does anyone know if the controllers for Radcity5 plus and Radrover are the same?

Since i have an issue with my Radrover the Front light blinking when turned on and the rear one does not turn on at all, works find with the breaks though. So i was thinking if the controller is the same then i could troubleshoot it to see if it actually is controller.
