Not that we ever have blizzards and super cold weather.....





Not a perfect solution, but will work until I can buy "real ones".

RadRover / Source for RR6+ battery connector?
December 03, 2022, 08:46:26 AM
Does anyone know where I could purchase the 5-pin connector (like on the bike side) for the RR6+ battery?  If it's been published here on another topic, apologies, I couldn't find it.

In other words, the mate for this on the battery (see attached).

Since the power goes out occasionally here, thinking the battery (removed from the bike) would be a nice back-up for emergency use. Cell phone charging, etc.
The battery could be used with something like this: https://amzn.to/3FEx4Zn

Any ideas?

General Chat / RAD Rover 6+ battery woes, HELP!!!
August 26, 2022, 04:36:37 PM
OK, after waiting a month for a RR6+ battery replacement, covered under warranty, we/my friend finally received a replacement. Yay, finally...

- How much charge would you expect to be on the replacement battery we received?  It showed NO charge (no bars) as received.
- When we attempted to charge it with a known good charger (we have two identical bikes), for about 4 hours, it still shows NO charge.
- The charger now shows green light when attempting to charge the battery, like the original failed battery, when attempting to charge it.

In case you are wondering if I'm a normal idiot with no electrical/technical background, I am a Life Senior Member of the IEEE.  Look it up if you don't know what that means.
OK, I might be an idiot sometimes  ::), but not about stuff like this....

WTF RAD?

Any chance anyone has one of the DK2 Rear Hitch Mounted E-Bike Carrier sold at Costco?
https://www.costco.com/dk2-rear-hitch-mounted-e-bike-carrier.product.100855719.html
Currently for sale at $260.00.
I'd have to swap out the small receiver on my 2016 Outback and get a 2" installed.

I'd be hauling two RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru (with batteries removed)

This is possibly better/cheaper than the approach I was planning on - getting a small trailer like the DK2 5FT X 7FT Single Axle Utility Trailer Kit - Galvanized that Costco was selling.
Like this: https://landmarktools.com/products/dk2-5ft-x-7ft-single-axle-utility-trailer-kit-galvanized

Thanks for any knowledge on that carrier.

RadRover / Battery charge port cover staying open

Does anyone know how to fix this very minor but irritating "issue".
[besides taping it shut]   ;)

Anyone had a RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru - Charcoal shipped to them yet?
I have a friend who ordered one a 5 back on (Charcoal) back on July 3rd and then upgraded to the 6.
Like to take hers and mine on vacation this year, but starting to look like that's not going to happen.

Just received a second RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru. 
I ordered one.

Once again, no email received about the shipment, but I guess others have noted that problem.

Now I get to even more of my time spend time fixing yet another error by Rad. 

I don't want to sound like a complainer, but they seem to have some serious problems in the order fulfilment area.

RadRover / a mirror for my Rad Rover 6 Plus Step-thru.
September 17, 2021, 10:25:04 AM
The kink in my neck today tells me I need to look into a mirror for my Rad Rover 6 Plus Step-thru.  No pun intended.
Rad has a mirror of course, but that mirror is compatible with all ebike models except RadRover 6 Plus and RadRover 6 Plus Step-Thru.
I'm guessing that is due to the fact most of the handlebar space is taken up with the grip, brake and UI Remote.

I know there are mirrors that attach via the ends of the handlebars, but was hoping to avoid that method since the storage I have for the bike would make that a prime candidate for getting whacked when I store it.

Any ideas?
