General Chat / Fire in Tavistock garage caused by e-bike being charged
« on: February 04, 2024, 06:44:16 AM »
A garage has been damaged by fire after an electric bike was left on charge, emergency services have said.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue attended the scene in Tavistock, Devon, on Saturday morning at about 05:00 GMT.

Three fire engines tackled the blaze that is believed to have started after an e-bike was left charging.

Tavistock Fire Station said rechargeable items "catch fire with little or no warning with catastrophic results".

RadExpand / replacing stolen Rad Mini ST
« on: March 11, 2023, 08:59:03 AM »
My 2021 white Rad Mini ST was stolen this week in the CA Bay Area (tip: cable locks are not very secure!) and I'm looking at the Rad Expand as as replacement. Ideally I want a foldable bike, but that's not a deal-breaker. The Expand seems to be a slimmed-down Mini -- dumb controller display, no suspension fork, 4 levels of PAS instead of 5... and more expensive! Sure, you can "upgrade" to the old LCD display for an extra $99.

Has anyone on the forum migrated Mini-->Expand, and what's your experience/recommendations?

Thanks.

RadMini / high pitched whistling noise when freewheeling
« on: June 19, 2022, 07:19:37 AM »
Hi folks:

Apologies if this issue has been discussed before, my searches didn't find it.

My Radmini 4 HS, vintage 11/2021, mileage ~200, has a high pitched whine/whistle when freewheeling. Applying the back brake, or pedaling, or throttling stops it, but it starts again when freewheeling. It seems to come from the back wheel somewhere. It happens frequently, but not always -- enough to make riding unpleasant. I did have a back wheel clacking noise, once per wheel revolution, under load. The Rad folks at the Berkeley CA shop fixed that (under warranty).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
