OK, so let me start by saying I love my Radrunner Plus and love to ride. The whole e-bike industry has been a great thing for many riders. But I am trying to understand why so many owners are ready to mod their bikes as soon as they get them to make them go faster. I know, speed is fun, biking is fun. But if you want something that goes really, really fast - buy something designed for that speed, and drive it in a safe and legal way. Every time I turn around I see cities and towns banning e-bikes on bike paths and trails because riders are not respecting speed limits and are causing safety concerns. As an e-bike community, let's make sure our choices and behaviors support the industry and encourage local communities to embrace and encourage e-bike ridership rather than find new reasons to ban us!

I'm sure this post may kick up some strong opinions. I'm all ears and welcome respectful and constructive exchange.

OK, so I have given the runner many many months and miles and I honestly cannot stand (i.e. hate) the handlebars. They are much too high for me and way too close (and yes, I tried pivoting them away from me). I am finding it difficult to find a suitable alternative that will work with the Rad stem and have the correct diameter for the throttle and have a crossbar for the display. Rad's less than helpful response was to return the bike as it is "clearly not suited to me". This is not an option as I am past the return period, which I am sure the customer service rep knew. Their customer service was awesome during the initial purchase and when FedEx damaged the bike, but much less than helpful now. I am sure there must be a solution that doesn't require selling the bike and purchasing something else. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I've had my Radrunner about a month now, and I am still not loving the high rise handlebars and am wondering if anyone has replaced the stock bars with something a bit more conventional. The stock bars are too high and too close for me. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! Thanks.
