the "super portable electric bike pump" from bolton e-bikes works well - $49.99.

i have used the pump several times in the last few months.

Almost ready with my custom 60v 24Ah lockable downtube battery. Fitted with 120A/400A Daly BMS. Made of Samsung 40T 21700 cells.


is this something you're developing to sell...or personal mission?

How did you mount this crate to the bike? With zip ties? I like this set up a lot and will order.

used metric bolts, washers and nuts through the existing holes in the rear rack.


i'll be modifying the mount for the collapsible crate to a quick-release version using the m6 knurled knobs gtrz07 mentions in his post.

i use this trunk box occasionally on my radrunner 1.

attractive, spacious, easy to mount and provides a backrest for the rider.

Thanks.

I'm in the UK and that doesn't seem to be available on the Euro site.

I'll contact them to see if we can get it over the pond too.

if no options from rad check tannus' u.k. site -

Hello. First time poster.

I've been shopping for an E-bike for the last couple of months. Unfortunately I live outside Syracuse, NY and there are not a lot of options.

I think I have narrowed it down to two companies. Rad Power Bikes and EG Bikes.

I really like the Mission and the Rover. If I went with the Rover I would want to strip it down to the basic bike, like lose the fenders, lights, no basket or anything like that, and go down to a 2.5 inch tire.

The Mission would basically work as is but I'd like to take it in a gravel bike direction.

My riding time is divided between light trails riding, nothing extreme, and urban and bike paths. My ideal bike would be an E-gravel bike. The currently existing ones however are way out of my price range. I went so far as sending a message to Rad asking if they've considered making one.

My questions are has any tried turning the Rover into more of a regular mountain bike for light trail or single track?

How hard are they to assemble? Has anyone got one on the East Coast?

And accessories. What are you guys doing for pedal clips or clipless pedals even?

And just any opinions on the Mission and Rover?

Thanks from the new kid.

I bought the Juin Tech M1 on eBay.....paid $137 which was after taxes.

So I'm installing on the radwagon 4 and really having a tome getting the front not to rub any pointes.  I have the pads set at widest followed the bolton bid. Backs great front rub. Do not have any ideas

check the brake rotor...you may have a slightly bent one.

Yup figured that out that day. Did a sight bend back in truing up the rotor and then blessed silence lol.

Thanks

great!

glad you were able to resolve!

i upgraded my radrunner 1 brakes to the bolton (juin tech) m1 hydraulic calipers.

quieter, smoother and a more positive feel than the stock brakes.

as noted in the bolton video, less than 5 minute install.

the brake kit included 8 nitride m6 bolts with thread lock applied and 2 black cable-end crimps.

infinitely easier to install and adjust than the stock calipers.

2-day shipping from bolton!

though a bit pricey, i would definitely recommend this upgrade.

kyle @ bolton - keep bringing these great upgrades to the masses!
