General Chat / Re: Hand pump vs battery power...
Last post by mrgold35 - April 15, 2024, 04:33:35 AM
I started with the Topeak Mountain Morph Bike Pump for my fat tire ebike with a tube.  It was a little bulky to store on ebike, took around 20 pumps for one PSI increase, and can be difficult to pump and seat the tire at the same time.

I later upgraded to Ryobi P737 and then later to the P747 to use at home for my ebikes and vehicles.  The battery powered pumps are faster and easier to use.  I like the option of using battery pumps with (e)bikes and vehicles at home or away.  I usually toss the P747 in the SUV hatch for any out of town road tire w/ or w/o ebikes.

I just purchased the USB rechargeable Fanttik X8 Ace Bike Pump 150PSI Fast Portable Tire Inflator, $50, Amazon.  It has enough power to do vehicles and ebike tires.  The small compact size works way better in my Topeak MTX rack bag compared to the Topeak hand pump.  I now toss this portable air pump in the hatch for road trips.

Quote from: Si1Dia on March 24, 2022, 09:10:30 AMRad recommends 20-30psi. I run mine at 28psi for mostly road and well-groomed trails.

that's the info i'm looking for. 20 - 30 is such a broad range :D
I've called Rad Rover, and I got a different answer; I keep them at 10 PSI, and I also heard from other sources that people are overinflating them. I heard if you ride over a puddle you should see how much your tire is touching the ground, I thought what is the puddle was deeper. I ride mostly on gravel, and I can see what part of the tire touches the ground. I weigh 240 LPS, and most of the time, I carry an extra battery, and I think my back tire needs replacing again. I have 2345 miles on my bike, the rear looks more worn that the front which is understandable.

Merely formatting text as a quote will also trigger the unlocated "attachments directory" error message.

I thought I might be able to fix the missing uploaded photos by uploading them again, but I still get this same error message:
QuoteThe message has the following error or errors that must be corrected before continuing:

:o Oddly enough, the editor gave me the same error message for this post, which had no attachments.

A quick Google implies the problem is with Tapatalk not Simple Machines.

Quote from: 2mules on October 05, 2023, 02:01:58 PMThis is a very lightly used second battery I bought at the same time I bought a RadRover 6 Plus step-thru.  I discovered that the 6+ was just too much bike for me and I sold it. I am 77, 5ft tall and 115lbs. What was I thinking?  I still have the 2nd battery.  It can be yours for 300$ plus shipping or you can pick it up.  I am located in Albany, NY. 

I would really like to sell this battery?. I have no use for it?.. 275$ plus the exact cost of shipping..dont know for sure but around 30$.  PayPal accepted.

Is this battery still available?
