I've been looking around for a bit , trying to pin down a well made suspension fork for the RadRunner , and I did see the Bolton fork, but there is also an RST Guide 20 . Is there a reason that one wouldn't fit? I believe Bitrix sells them at around $250 USD  and https://classic-cycle.com/all/3064/204-suspension-fork-rst-guide-20-zoll-tnl-fatbike-1-1/8-ahead-for-disc-brake  . I don't know enough about the different details to know if it would be a better quality and fit than Boltons option.

hmmmm...specs make it appear to be a good and viable option -

Steerer length: 260 mm

Steerer diameter / stem width: 28,6 mm

Steerer daiemeter at cone seat: 30 mm

Installation hight: 420 mm

For Hub width: 135 mm

Travel: 45 mm

Ssytem: Coil in left stanchion

Damping: Oil in right stanchion

the only issue i see with using this fork on the radrunner 1 is that there is no accommodation for fender mounts...

sadly, the radrunner plus suspension fork availability rumor is just that, rumor. spoke with kharis goldman at rad power bikes. the radrunner plus suspension fork is not compatible with the radrunner 1 and is not being sold separately -

"Hey Will,

Thanks for reaching out! The RadRunner 1 ebike was designed with a rigid front fork, which is what we've tested and approved under warranty. We actually had to change the design of the RadRunner Plus slightly, in order to accommodate that suspension front fork without the front wheel hitting the frame.

Therefore, the suspension front fork of the RadRunner Plus is not compatible with the RadRunner 1's frame, even though they look very similar. Also, the suspension front fork is not sold separately from the ebike.

Hope this provides some clarification, and let us know if you have further questions! You can also check out our Help Center in the meantime, as it can be a great resource.

Best,

another inquiry...how long are the 2 aluminum spacers you fabricated for the front brake caliper mount?

thanks again!

i noticed you mounted the front fender backwards, was this due to the fender support spacing?

hey count!

how were you able to mount the bolton suspension fork?

other reviews claim it can't (easily) be done...

the suntour seat post is available on ebay for under $100...

hi bob!

due to the popularity of the rad power bikes and associated accessories you'll find that the most sought after items go out of stock on a regular basis...but are usually quickly re-stocked for the next run. i usually just bookmark the desired accessory page and check availability on a regular basis.

hi how!

check out this rad power "error 21 troubleshooting guide".

not sure if you'll find the answers you need but is a good start -

Anyone know if this will work on the Rad Rover Step Thru?  I'm assuming it should being that all the stock electronics are pretty much the same.

per bolton site, "Plug and play for 2016-2018 Radrover bikes. Plug and play for 2019 and 2020 Radrover models."

...but i would check with kyle at bolton to verify.

check out the "Serfas CRS-1 Super Cruiser Bicycle Saddle". this thing is big and comfortable!

i use on my radrunner with a suntour suspension seatpost.

no issues here. my radrunner which i backordered a month ago arrived before rad's expected delivery date. i've ordered 2 bikes and placed multiple accessory orders with no issues and no unexpected delays since april. buy with confidence!

i had considered one of the 52v juiced bikes before i purchased my radrunner. love my radrunner...but couldn't resist the lure of the juiced hyperscorpion. now i love them both! i take the one out that aligns with my current mood...

strange you should ask as i started this very project last night! actually pretty easy even though i've had to fabricate a couple "shim blocks" and bottom locks. total cost including omni quicktrack adapter is around $30.

mount is complete (see below).

setup works great! shim blocks make for a secure fit - keeps rack in perfect center alignment with no movement, shaking or rattling.

...and is quick-release - you can install or remove by just tightening or loosening 2 nuts!

the air chuck provided with the home compressor should work to inflate electric bikes tires. the supplied air chuck was difficult to use so i purchased a much-easier-to-use standard 1/4" air chuck at harbor freight for $2.49 (see photo).
