As many others, my front tire inner tube exploded while parked under the sun for less than 30 mins.
Rad does not have stock on tires and inner tubes, so I am left without bike for the foreseeable future, which sucks.
I followed the advice of other posters here and on r/radpowerbikes and purchased motorbike inner tubes (Michelin Airstop Butyl 18ME for 9?).
They are significantly heavier (530g vs 290g of the stock ones) and are a good third larger, but they seem to fit, though I'd not inflate them past 20-25PSI.
I am also looking at the Kenda 2.75/3.00-18 TR4 inner tubes, and the Michelin 18 MC 2.50-18 in case they are lighter / narrower.
Unfortunately the explosion damaged the tire or was caused by a tore defect, so I'll be looking at a replacement for that, too.
Michelin City Pro / City Extra tires look extremely heavy (>6kg) based on somewhat unreliable data found online. Duro HF918 or similar also look heavy at 2.5kg.
