Ouch, I hope you're okay!

Yes I know, I'm more talking about the safety of my kiddos when loading them, or rounding the bike from one side to the other. I'm not confident in the kickstand that comes with the Rad.

Thanks for the link, yikes on the prices though! I'm gonna talk to my velofix guy who has put together hundreds of Rad bikes. Maybe he has an idea.

Hi everyone! The kickstand on the radwagon just isn't stable enough to feel safe loading two kids or cargo. I've been doing some research online, do you guys thing that the StandTogether kickstand on the Yuba bikes would work as a replacement? It's the only on that looks like it would work with the springs. Here's a link...

Rad Modifications / Re: Front Basket

I am looking to add a front basket to my Rad City Bike and am wondering if anyone has added a non-Rad front basket.  I am looking at something with a quick release and handle for shopping.  I did see someone added an Electra quick release basket to their Rad City, but not sure how they attached it or modified the bike to make it work.  I am also looking at the Ortlieb Rack Box for the back rack.  It looks like it will secure nicely and is a great cooler for picnics.

I'm looking for the exact same thing! I think the only way to make it work is to buy the front rack and bungy or clip the basket. I was gonna buy some of these "cable cuffs" to use for my grocery getters  (but I haven't tried them yet) . I just watched an install video on the Electra basket and it looks like it just might work. Good luck!

I live in the land of goat heads. They are everywhere. My mountain bike is tubeless, unfortunately don't have that option with rad rims. So I'm looking forward to trying the tannus armour. I hate tire anxiety!

Thanks for the info! Maybe the batteries will be on sale in November for Black Friday. It would be cool to have a Mini too, they look fun :). I want to use it for commuting to work 20 miles, and there is a steep grade at the end.  I suppose if I keep the pas super low until the end it should be alright.  Thanks again!

The owner of Velofix (partnered with Rad) recommended that I get Tannus Armor foam inserts. I don't plan on getting flat, but when I do I'll buy some of these for sure.

Rad Power Bikes Classifieds / Need another battery
April 17, 2020, 09:11:42 PM
Hi everyone, I'm a new Wagon owner and I'm wanting to ride for a bit longer than my battery will take me And I definitely don't want to be pushing this bike up any hills with my kids on it.. Anyone have a battery for sale, or any pointers on an after market battery? The price on the Rad website made me gasp plus they are out of stock. I'm not too savvy in the ebike battery world so I don't know if all 48v batteries are compatible etc. willing to go higher voltage also  if it doesn't mess up my bike or anything.  thanks for the info!

I actually just ordered a Freerider 31L from Green Guru for my wagon, the rep said the clips should fit the 1 inch tube racks. The  clips look pretty massive, I'll post pictures when it is delivered. Here is a smaller version on Amazon. Green Guru Gear Free Rider Bike Pannier, Multicolor, 22-Liter https://amzn.to/3ENBMBq . They have regular bags too not just slings like I ordered. And they are made out of recycled bike tubes and stuff which is cool. #supportsmallbusinesses
