Prefer local sale. Here's what I have. Purchased around Sept. 2020 Green RadRunner 1 with the following.
Upgraded Rad headlight and display.
Rad fenders.
Pogo post and Sella seat. Also have original.
SHAD SH34 trunk.
Hafny mirrors.
HipLok chain lock.
Tannus inserts.
New rear Rad tire.
Battery always looked after.
Never crashed and wheels true. No mystery noises.
Around 2500 miles, 400ish miles on the upgraded display.
Has some paint specs from riding thru someone spraying a fence white. Not super noticeable on the front. Might come off.
I travel to Grandy NC area, Richmond, VA area and soon Charlottesville, VA (pinball) so I could meet someone interested in those areas as well. PM me if interested. Will note when it sells.
Reason for selling is I bought a new ebike and wife has no interest in a ebike. Don't need 2 ebikes.
Asking $500 FIRM.


I really want it scOOter, My problem is I live in Santa Cruz, Ca. Can we arrange something?
Thanks, Paul

I combined my C-9 with a Redshift ShockStopper - an amazing suspension post, but not inexpensive.  I got about 15-20% off directly from their site with a first-time-buyer discount code, but just recently Amazon put them on sale for about the same discounted price for exactly one day.  So if you're not in a hurry, you don't have to pay full price by keeping an eye on it.

Looking into it, Thanks jiminpt

I noticed your seat too. How do you like it?

I can vouch for the Cloud 9 brand; very nicely designed and well-made seats.  However, they have quite a few models and they fit differently, so the process is sort of like trying on shoes.  After 5 different seats and 2 of the C-9 brand (my first try was this one: https://amzn.to/3Gpa4fd), I ended up with this one:  https://amzn.to/3vZsZc5 

Not crazy about the overly-long nose (although I'm used to it now), but it's more comfortable than the first C-9 I tried and the difference is the wider width and flatter top surface.  Great seat, but might not be the right fit for you.  Many people seem to like the Bikeroo seats; it didn't fit well for me, but it's also a well-made product.  Fortunately, Amazon is good about accepting returns.

Totally agree, Picking a saddle is like trying on shoes, One feature that I need is the real springs,  Tried the no real spring model once and it was not kind to my back, I should probably get seat post suspension.

I love the ammo boxes! Great idea!

I noticed your seat too. How do you like it?

The OD Green ammo cans match the color of the Radrover, I use one for my game camera's, and the other holds 3 beers wrapped in frozen ice packs. I do some wildlife photography, and they come in handy, I also have another larger set up that fits the large platform, The other single ammo box measures about 20"X12"X6" high.
I have 3 saddles, The pictured Cloud 9 gell is a good choice, I also have the Bikeroo, And it works well also, Just be sure to get the seat with real springs, They are more shock absorbing for me, I weigh 220.

Forgot to mention, One needs stick on velcro for the handles on the ammo cans so they don't flop around.

Just turned 1000 miles, Will probably need a rear tire in another few hundred or so miles, I was looking for a super tough puncture resistant tire and tube, Without the tire noise of the Kenda's. I do about 60% street and 40% light off road and trail.
I should also mention I have never had a flat yet, I am always watching the road for obstacles. I am an older guy, And can't repair a flat by myself.
