It wasn't hard to decide that we would get the most use out of the Wagon compared to the Mini, City or Rover. From trips that often include two adults to hauling whatever needs to be hauled, there really isn't much I can think of where I'd really need to use a car. I'm a landlord and have strapped a heavy extension ladder to the back and my most recent trip included large boxes of popcorn (pictured). Two strapped to the back with the help of some cross supports, rope and bike tubes. The third we broke up and put the individual bags in the child carrier. Such a blast and a joy to ride around whole hopefully setting a good example of what is possible.

Thanks Radillac. Adding the links here as well.

What rear rack is that? I know some there are people who want to know which third party rear racks fit the Rads since they are often out of stock.

Congrats, you're going to love it! I know some Kryptonite locks come with a mounting adapter. Not sure if it will work for you but worth looking into. Here is one example: https://amzn.to/2XoR90z

They call it their Transit Flex Frame Bracket system. Here is a YouTube video showing how it works and some of the mounting options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyHN1vRkyOQ

I've seen some folks attach it to their rear racks as well and you could secure it with some velcro. We typically just put our lock in a crate or in our backpack though we have a Rad Wagon. I've been really happy with this lock: https://amzn.to/2IpZngv

Hopefully a Rad Rover owner can chime in here but I believe some folks have had success with the Ibera racks.

Thank you for the add, new to the world of electric bikes and still educating myself prior to my purchase. Considering the Radmini. My legs are a bit to short for the Rover to be safe and comfortable getting on and off.

Welcome! I am totally bias but Rad Power Bikes strike the perfect balance between cost and still getting a decent bike. We absolutely love our Rad Wagon (2200 miles+) and I hope to eventually get a Mini or Rover sometime after we have a child. Only maintenance I've had to do is tighten spokes and replace the rear brake pads. Let me know if you have any questions, I too did a bunch of research before purchasing.

Thanks for sharing. I see the benefit of having that style of the handlebars. Is the orange thing on the front a battery or a speaker? Also the Rad light is pretty cool, I just couldn't quite justify the cost back when they sold them 

That's impressive! I always get so many questions on how far a Rad can go on one charge so it's good to have an idea of the top end. I always say it varies quite a bit based on what pedal assist you're on, but between 20-40 miles. We do more commuting and short trips with charging overnight. We did make it 14.5 miles with two adults on our Rad Wagon and still had 2 bars left.

I thought it might be fun to share a photo once you have hit a mile milestone on your Rad. Bonus if you catch it as it rolls over and stop to snap a picture.

I imagine we will have some awesome pictures from national/state parks and others who are stacking up the miles via commuting. Here is our unimpressive photo taken at our gym, though I do like the contrast with the cars [emoji3]

At around 3,000 miles I think our 2018 Rad Wagon will have paid for itself.

Hey, Dave here from Louisville, KY USA. Got a 2018 RadWagon just over a month ago with plans to replace my car on local trips and commute to work. Put about 350 miles on it since purchase. Love the bike and love the forum.

Welcome Dave! We too have replaced many of our local trips with our Rad Wagon. 350 miles in just a month is a great start!

We've had a handful of new members in the past couple of weeks so thank you to everyone who has joined. My goal with the forum is to help others find information about Rad Power Bikes and connect with others. I invite you to introduce yourself in this thread and maybe even share a picture.

As a reminder one of the best ways I think to use the forum is through the mobile app called Tapatalk. If you search for Rad Owners you'll be able to find it and login. It's a great way to interact on a mobile device and is a much easier way of sharing pictures.

Welcome again to everyone!

Hey neighbor! (We are in WI) On your Rad Rover you should be able to pop out the end cap for a mirror. No modifications needed. Most people (including myself) like the Mirrycle which you can pick up from Amazon really cheap:

Here's a thread with my thoughts and a picture

The nicer our weather gets the less miles on our car and more miles being put on our Rad. We got quite the looks hauling this load around the neighborhood with one commenting "You need your vehicle". We simply we responded that this is our vehicle.

We're well into May at this point but we finally are getting some nice weather here in Wisconsin. We've been cruising around to garage sales to get some fresh air and my wife is using the bike for daily commuting. We just surpassed 1900 miles on our Rad Wagon. Our two modifications, a mirror and our cell phone holder have been great additions this year (I've created threads on each).

Here is my wife holding a free baby swing we picked up on the back of our Wagon. We're expecting our first child this fall!

So far so good! Enjoying having the time and quiet enough music we can still hear cars.
