Hi all, Ryan here. In a previous thread I had offered some free accessories to active forum members. At this point, I have far too many $60 referral credits at Himiway which means I'd like to send some top tube bags to you! After checking out their accessories the Rockbros bag seems the best option. I'm trying to avoid having users send me addresses so if you want one, PM me, and I'll send you the $60 promo code and you can order yourself (hopefully this works). Here is the link for the bag: https://himiwaybike.com/collections/accessories/products/multifunctional-e-bike-frame-bag

As always, thanks for being a forum member and your support here, my YouTube channel and website www.EbikeEscape.com

I would love to have one of these if any are available.

We've had our Rads almost a month and have gotten little more than some basic mods due to my health problems but things are looking up!

HI Bert - check your PMs, just sent you a code.

Got the code and redeemed it and it worked perfectly - thanks very, very much Ryan!

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.

Here's my take after working with two Rovers and a Wagon.

- Stripping the Rover down would be simple but you wouldn't save a ton of weight.  It's a big beast.  Period.

- If you've ever worked with bikes at all the assembly for any of these bikes is simple.  Even if you haven't worked with bikes, it's simple.  All the work is done - you just add a thing or two and you're done.

- You can put any pedal you want on any of these bikes.  Nothing proprietary here.

- Love the Wagon and the Rover.  They are entry level but have decent components and a large community (relative).  They are heavy, but none of these type bikes are light.  They hold up well and are easy to work on.  They are worth the price IMO.
