General Chat / Signs A Battery Is Dying
May 11, 2022, 08:23:54 AM
On my Rad 6-Plus battery, I have noticed that the driving distance has decreased dramatically. I weigh 155 pounds, always ride on flat asphalt roadway and only ride on level assist 2 or 3 and rarely use the throttle. During the first 100 miles, I was averaging 35 miles on a fully charged battery. During the last month after riding 900 miles, I have averaged only 14 miles per full charge. Any suggestions ? Is the battery dying ? Did I do something wrong ? Battery defective ?  Thanks Joe Florida

General Chat / Extending Battery Life
February 20, 2022, 07:00:57 AM
Greetings -

I have read, but don't understand about not fully charging nor depleting the battery charge in order to extend the battery life.
Can anyone please explain what is balancing a new battery as some here have suggested not to and some have suggested to
balance a new battery and how does one balance a battery anyways? Any other ideas in extending battery life. Thanks  Joe Florida

Hello-

My brand new, one day old RadCity 5 Plus will not power-up. Rad customer service elevated my service request to
a senior team member for assistance and waiting for his reply.
Other than checking all the connections and those suggestions provided on the Rad website,
anyone have any suggestions before this bike works it way back to Seattle for a second time? Thanks

General Chat / Controller question
February 02, 2022, 10:08:30 AM
Having issues with my RadCity where the brake lights do not illuminate when brake lever is pulled and the headlights turn on and off by themselves.
Are these issues related to the Controller?

General Chat / Minimizing flats
January 30, 2022, 07:44:45 AM
Obviously, there is no such thing as no-flat tires, but what do you electric guys do in order to minimize flats.
As an old road cyclist, I have used the following-
Tire Slime sealant
Inner liner
high quality tubes
Puncture-resistant Tires and Tubes
increase tire pressure to maximum level & quality tire pressure gauge
avoid all areas subjected to construction debris such as nails & glass
high quality rim tape
always inspect tires before each ride
minimize riders weight, easier said than done
Convert to tubeless
Ride with your cellular and cash, just in case

Any other ideas ???   Joe Florida  Thanks

Hello -
Has anyone with a recent Rad 6 Plus purchase been able to increase the maximum throttle only speed to 25 mph
by reprogramming the bicycles LCD display? I have heard that as of November 2021,
Rad eliminated the ability for the consumer to change this feature. Thanks

Understanding that there are worldwide issues with obtaining specific bike components, I am in the process
of purchasing a RadCity 5 Plus Electric Commuter Bike in the next week ( waiting on wife's permission ) and

Any current information sincerely appreciated. Thanks Joe Florida

General Chat / 5 Plus vs 6 Plus
January 13, 2022, 04:40:30 PM
Greetings — question regarding differences between the 5 plus vs 6 plus.  I'm an old time road cyclist recovering from knee surgery and in the process of purchasing either a 5 plus or a 6 plus to help with rehab until I can start back on my road bike. Other than tire size, what are the main differences between the 5 plus and 6 plus?  Which one would you suggest that I get as I have ridden road bikes all my life.  Thanks. Joe Florida.
