RadRover / Re: Off roading Rover
January 07, 2021, 11:26:37 AM
Living here in southern Colorado. I found out the Rad Rover tires don't hold up for our western trails. No liner comes in them and no thorn resistant tubes.  The tire tread is minimal and appears to be for city bike trails only. Disappointed in that fact.
The first time we were off a urban bike trail. We had flats. >:(

I got my 2 bikes but have been waiting for over 2 months now for Rad to get the rear racks back in. I've about had my fill waiting. Has anyone found better rear racks for their Rovers? I'm not interested in the Topeaks with quick rack . I'm not changing other gear to match their track design.

Found some from the same folks that make the thumb throttle for my Rover. Its 1859 Northwest.

Its funny. Rad recommends you take off the battery when its on a bike rack while traveling but they don't seem to understand that leaves the battery contacts open to elements like water. So I use a plastic Walmart bag. Does anyone have any other ideas that have worked for them or is there someone making a cover to protect the contacts on the battery bracket?

Normally when we go places we don't worry much about rain, We live in Colorado. But we do sometimes go out of state. Should I be concerned about having our 2 bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack at back of SUV if we hit rain or other precip? These bikes are electric....

Do they require covers?

On the website and info literature on the bikes, it talks about having temp limits for riding, it gives a low temp but just says dont ride in extreme high temps.  Anyone know what the high temp limit is? A extreme temp for them in Seattle is a LOT lower than here in Colorado or Utah...

I emailed them and got stuff about storing the battery but that's not what I asked them. So I emailed them again and thought to ask the forum
