Thanks for sharing, looks like a good option. I modified your image via a new forum feature that allows for image rotation so hopefully that will solve any further issues.

I know there are a lot of people out there who have put a significant amount of miles on their bikes. Thought it would be fun to see who has the most and also have everyone share some thoughts on maintenance you have had to do over the lifetime of ownership. I'll start:

We received our bike late April 2018, ended the season with just under 1800 miles.

I replaced the rear brakes at the end of the season. At first I was intimidated by the brakes, but this is definitely an easy DIY job if you have the time. We've been lucky and haven't had any flats yet.

Post your December pictures here. Bonus points for the further north you are located

I used a conventional aluminium rod waterbottle rack and mounted it on the right vertical frame tube at the front of the rear rack, with stainless steel worm drive hose clamps. This puts the bottle inside the triangular area between the seatpost and the rear rack on my 2018 Radwagon. It sits above the motor controller but does not touch it. The only waterbottle mount on the Radwagon is under to lower frame downtube and is too close to the front fender to allow a bottle cage to be mounted there. These threaded inserts do work for some types of air pimp mointing brackets, so are still usful.

Do you happen to have a picture? That sounds like a good option.

Moved back to the island of O'ahu in 2015 with my family after being gone for 30 years to help care for my aging father-in-law. I'm fortunate that my workplace is only 8 miles away, and between Honolulu's traffic gridlock and being a 1-car family I started commuting to work on a Trek FX 7.2 "fitness" bike. Did that for almost 3 years and decided I couldn't take another summer of pedaling in the heat and humidity without assistance. This body isn't getting younger either.

This past July, I decided to pull the trigger on a 2018 RadRover after having the opportunity to test ride one at RPB's Seattle store during a business trip. Changed out the stock Kendas for a pair of road friendly Origin8 Supercell tires and am loving the ride to and from work. There may be better choices for a daily commuter, but when you've got to ride on a seriously deteriorating infrastructure like Honolulu's you need a bike that can take what the crappy roads throw at it and the RadRover fits the bill.

Starting to see a few ebikes here and there during my commute, but I think there's less than a half-dozen Rad Owners here. Hopefully, I can meet them all through this new forum. 

Aloha! I've heard good things about the Origin8 Supercell tires. I am compiling a lost of recommended improvements so I will definitely add this to the list. How did you get your bike to O'ahu? If memory serves Rad Power Bikes doesn't ship to Hawaii.

Hi, I'm Ryan and live in Washington State south of Seattle and have a 2018 Rover.  I'm in the beginning of absolutely loving this after finding Rad in Long Beach, WA and riding it down the beach with pure unfiltered joy.  I live in a rainy place with not many places to ride immediately around me but have spent my first 50 miles in the city just riding around in neighborhoods and enjoying being outside.  I almost bought a mini on Monday, but after putting it into my cart multiple times I figured I'd better just get a lot of use out of my Rover first.  Just not easy to get around everywhere and not feeling the $400 bike stand after I bought a different one before I got my Rover.  Hoping for some clear weather this weekend to do some riding!

Welcome Ryan! I imagine you'll see many Rads out in Seattle.

Hi, my name is Clive from Langley, BC Canada
I'm a very old (64) and not too fit, wannabe cyclist (?) Recovering from a shoulder injury.
I have a 2018 City which I purchased in June 2018 and I think it has about 38 Km's on it so far.
Have lots of good intentions but I'm also somewhat nervous riding. Hopefully we will have a good winter and I can still get to ride. Looking forward to this forum being successful. Cheers everyone

Thanks for the kind words. The weight and speed is definitely intimidating at first.

On my Rad Wagon there is limited options for a water bottle. I've seen some custom jobs, but haven't been too crazy about the solutions I've seen. I recently came across this product from Fidlock. The water bottle locks/twists into place which is much different from traditional water bottle cages. It can use the standard bolts, but they also sell a "Uni Base" which basically lets you mount the holder to any part of the bike frame using straps. Curious if anyone has used this or has a better solution. Only downside is they're pretty pricey.

Update April 2020: I've found a bunch of different options which are much more affordable than this. See "Water Bottle Solutions" on my accessories page: https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,104.0.html

I love those fenders. How many miles do you have on it?

I'm Chris from Maple Ridge BC, Canada, and got my Rover in September of this year. Liked it so much, we got my wife a mini a month ago.

Very cool! I think if we were to buy another one we'd go with the Mini so we can take it on road trips.

Hi I'm Phil live in Wales (UK) bought a 2018 RadRhino 2 weeks ago!! Mainly to get me back on the saddle but also to get fitter. Definitely  working!!!

Thanks for joining us from the UK! My girlfriend took a vacation to North Wales a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it - did lots of hiking. You live in a beautiful place.

Please share any feedback you may have about the site here. This may include additional boards, issues you are having with the site etc.

Hi all!

I am the proud owner of a 2018 Rad Wagon. It has been our favorite purchase ever and we put on 1800 miles in our first summer in Wisconsin. It's been a real joy to replace many of our in town car trips.

I've been amazed by the community around Rad Power Bikes and wanted to do my part in both furthering the community and the adoption of ebikes in general. I've been involved in running websites in the past and it is something I enjoy doing. I saw an opportunity for a forum dedicated to Rad Power Bikes which led to the creation of Rad Owners. I hope you find the forum beneficial and I want to thank those who take the time to share their knowledge with others. Rad on! 

Feel free to introduce yourself below!

Sadly our bike is inside hibernating for the winter but we did find room next to the Christmas tree 

Hope to see some pictures of people getting out there!
