I recommend the Pedego cell phone mount $29 if you have your phone in a case it's very solid. I have a Ram mount Roto X too but I find the Pedego less obtrusive. Of note the Pedego is not the same as the Rad Branded cell phone mount. The Rad one isn't as versatile in my opinion.

I also checked out a cloud9 seat today still like the Serfas better.

Just received two Radcity5 Plus bikes. Wife was unhappy with the seat which was quite hard compared to my buddy's  Radcity 3's seat. Tested a Pedego seat, Serfas Tailbones Memory foam TBM-30 seat, and a gel seat cover from Walmart. Hands down the Serfas seat was the most comfortable.

The bike's new motor has a lot more power more than my friend's Radcity3. I'm not a fan of the new derailleur I prefer the older shimano but that's personal preference. The new displays are nice. The new bike sits a little higher than the Radcity 3 but manageable. While in the Pedego store I saw their comparable model to the Radcity5 it was about $2900 and had the same motor as the old Radcity 3.

Do you have a pic as to how you installed them and where? Thanks

Pride & Joy / New Radcity5 Plus

Just picked up two Radcity5 Plus bikes. Very happy with them lots of power too. Many places to ride in Las Vegas. I have seen some Rad Minis, Radcity's and Rad Rovers in town here. Wonder if there is a Rad forum Facebook group here yet? Also got the Hollywood Sport SE EBike rack it is beefy. Rock solid.

I wonder if the speed increases 20% (from 20 to 25mph) does your range or battery life drop proportionally too?

Just got my new Hollywood Sport Rider SE rack which just came back in stock. My Radcity 5 Plus cover a lot of the rear taillights on my Sequoia as well as my friend's Toyota Tacoma. Found these on sale I think they will work well.
From Amazon on sale $25 CURT-53201 Auxiliary LED lighting

Rad just got the Hollywood E Bike rack back in stock holds up to 80lbs each bike. Just got it delivered so I think I'm ok and won't need to use the motorcycle rack.

Does any have some good clip on turn signals for their bike rack?

I do have a Hollywood Trail Rider HR200 two bike rack that says 45 lbs max per bike. Even if I take the battery out of the Radcity 5 Plus it weighs roughly 64 less the battery 7lbs so say 57 lbs. Do you think it would be safe limping home with two bikes on that rack?

Here's a side view, I have plenty of straps and it only would be temporary. A bike shop in Vegas is set up to assemble and tune Rad Bikes so I need to transport them once they get put together.

I am in the process of having two Radcity 5 Plus delivered. I can't find a Hollywood HR1500 E Bike Rack so I will need to use my Harbor Freight / discount ramps black widow ramp until I can find a Hollywood rack. I'm trying to figure a way to use the included ramp to haul both bikes back there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
