I didn't like the stock tires on my Rad City 5.  When I would take one hand off the handlebars I would feel a light front end shake/wobble.  I changed to the schwabe marathon e-plus and they cured te problem.
are  these the  tires you got?  in the 27.5x2" size?

What parts from a rr6+ can fit on a rad city 5+?  Specificlly are the motor, contoller, brakes the same.  With the RR6+ hs priced at $1399 would it be worth it to buy  for spare parts?  Seeing all the posts about getting replacement controllers having a spare would be nice.  Spare parts inventory would be :
battery
charger
controller
motor
brakes
display
crank ?
pedals
rotors
derailleur
chain
lights
seat
Sell wheels and frame to needy owner

try searching for motorcycle cruise controls.  I have not used any of these but it might work.

Here is a link for reviews of 2 different controls.

Question for anybody that has th Park Tool bkm-1 Brake Bleeting tool kit.  FYI you can buy replacement parts to this kit to reduce total cost and not have extra parts you don't need.   Which adapters do you use? I ordered and tested the purple adapter and it fits the caliper but not the lever.  Which adapter fits the lever?

I took a second look at the brake lever reservoir (my eye sight isn't great) and what I thought was NUIT, was actually NUTT. Found a bleed kit on Amazon.
Did this bleed kit work out for you?  I purchased a different kit on amazon and it did not have a connection for the brake lever.

Went to the new Rad Power store in Huntington beach CA and confirmed with the service tech that the park tool fr-1.3 is the correct tool to remove freewheel on Rad City 5+
Picked up the park tool fr-1.3 today from REI and tested it.  It worked. It's the corrct freewheel removal tool for the Rad City 5+.

I had to replace the freewheel on my wife's RadCity 5+ because I plopped the whole thing in an ultrasonic to clean it and I wound up flushing out all of the lubricant... my bad... couldn't figure out how to disassemble it to re-grease it... I couldn't get enough oil into it to free up a pawl (I think) that got stuck... anyway... I went with a DnP 34T which is the stock freewheel that came with the bike.  Got it on Amazon.  Worked great this past week on an long trail ride for her.  Was around $35.

What tool did you use to remove freewheel?  I'm looking at the park tool fr-1.3 but not sure if it is the right tool

Anybody know which park tool will work on a rad city 5 plus to remove the freewheel?
#13
I believe this will also fit the Rad City 5 plus.  Can anyone confirm?
#14
Granted the sale is very good but I just bought a city 5 plus and was hoping for a sale on accessories to outfit my new ride.  I'll check the pop-up store in Huntington Beach and see if they have any in store deals.

Went to Huntington Beach CA pop up store but they were only offering assembled bikes.  Ordered a city 5 plus on May 20 and received it today May 23 in the AM and had it assembled by 11:00, Did Brake break in procedure then removed battery for charging  Shipped from Chino CA.
