I have a RadRover 5 I bought Sept of 2020. About 5 months past the warranty was up at 750 miles I got an error code and the bike was dead. I unplugged the brake light and the bike has been fine ever since. When this happened I checked RAD's site and I seen no parts for the Rover 5 so I emailed them several times. All I got was vague answers from them. They would not tell me if they had a brake light and controller still for sale or not. I gave up and have been riding the bike without the brake light. After looking around at all the different brand of E-bikes. They all pretty much have the same bike issues and customer service complaints. Just some more than others. After all my looking the one I ended up liking was $2,400. That is a lot for an E-bike that the industry has common electrical issues. I also want to be able to ride in the rain when needed. I have decided to drop electric and go gas and get a scooter. It's twice the cost but way less issues and I can ride in the rain.

Other than the brake light issue the bike looks really good. No problems with the battery. I haven't noticed any drop in range.

I have no idea what a fare asking price would be for my Rover 5. The only thing that sucks is the issue with the brake light not knowing for sure what is wrong but I guess in the long run it doesn't matter since RAD will not sell or does not have the parts.

What do you all think is a fare asking price?

I bought a Radrover 5 in 2020. Still going but I did get Error 25 but after unplugging the brake light is fine. I bout a $1,000 Trek bike a couple months a go as a backup but I'm getting the itch for another bike.

How many and what type you own? How many is to many?

What brake pads do you recommend for a Rover 5?

Thanks

About a year and a half ago I installed the Tannus inserts. Last Friday I got my first flat on my rear tire. When I pulled the tire to repair the tube I noticed the inserts were flat as a pancake. I removed the insert and tube and put the original tube back in. I contacted Tannus and they said that you have to deflate your tires once a month so the inserts return to their normal shape. I did alot of reading up on them and do not recall that you have to deflate every month. I went to Tannus web site and looked every where and could not find any mention of needing to deflate once a month. I told Tannus I should not have to do that with inserts costing over $100. They replied back saying since I won't delate every month they will not send me another insert. Sounds a bit shady to me. Buyer Beware.

Well, I got Error 25 today. I unplugged the tail light and the error went away. How do I know if it's the tail light or the controller? I looked on Rad's site but did not see the controller or tail light. Hopefully they still sell the parts otherwise I will just keep the tail light unplugged.

I have a 2020 Radrover 5. Anything compelling to upgrade to the 6 plus?

Jim

I haven't been getting a email from the forum when there has been a reply. I checked my junk folder but have not seen any there. Any idea what I am missing?

I have the RadRover 5. I did a 25 mile ride today on PAS 3. I started out at about 375 watts. Every 6 miles I dropped 1 bar on the battery. Right after I hit 24 miles it dropped to one bar pulling 303 watts. Does sound about right? I tried PAS 2 and it was doing 125 watts. I was being lazy so I rode is PAS 3.

I am still undecided if I should ride in the rain. Iv'e read where some do and don't have any issues and other have rode in the rain and get a error code.

I ordered some dielectric grease to seal all the connections. I got some ear covers for my turn signal remote and display remote. Still working on something for the display. I ordered a shower cap to see how well that works. What about the battery and controller? are they water proof or should I cover them?

Anything else I am missing? I will ride in a light rain. Not sure if I should in a heavy down pour.

Thanks
Jim
