If he's not, this merits some investigation. I'm not ready to buy, but it's exciting to see options for battery replacement and repair

I may have closer to 300 can't check it with no battery and it may be just over 2 years old . I never kept battery anywhere but inside my heated and cooled house. I tried hold the button in to take it out of possible ship mode , nothing happens

250 miles over 3 years. Seemed quite a low mileage. How often have you charged your battery?

It has been a long time and I vaguely remembered the sequence of events. But there was an occasion where I thought I saw green light instead of red light when I started charging my battery. Obviously it was not what I expected to see so I stop charging. But one thing I remembered was that the bike was parked outside and there were frost on the ground. So I decided to wait a couple of hours while the battery warms up a bit and try charging again. This time the charging light was red. BTW while at work the bike is parked inside my office where there are electronic equipments therefore it's usually warmer than room temperature.

I wonder if extreme temperatures played a role with your problem (heat or cold). Where were you storing it? Have you tried charging again?

Lastly, when I assembled my bike, somehow the ship mode was not working but it seemed to be working now. So I tried testing the ship mode. Once on ship mode, pressing the Battery button will not activate the Charge level lights and no power is supplied to the motor. If I turn the bike On, the motor spins but the battery remains in ship mode.

vidalista tadalafil 20 mg is a widely recommended medication for men experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED).

One of the major benefits of Vidalista 20mg is its ability to significantly improve performance and stamina. Unlike some ED medications, Vidalista's effects can last up to 36 hours, earning it the nickname "the weekend pill."

It is a trusted solution for those looking to restore their sexual vitality naturally and effectively. Available through Generic Pills Australia online pharmacy, Vidalista 20mg offers a reliable, affordable option for men seeking enhanced sexual stamina and performance.

It's extremely unlikely that a fuse blew on its own. I understand there is a "ship" mode for these batteries - maybe check that?

Thanks for your time , I did pop the end cap off and it seems I have black plastic shrink wrap around my batteries and not blue, so I may not have the car type fuses. I haven't gone any further with it .
I read on fixit post that black wrapped may have soldered on fuses. Amazing that fuses might blow while sitting in my house not connected to anything at all.

Well. Here's something:
https://support.radpowerbikes.com/Learn_before_you_buy/What's_the_best_ebike_for_me%3F/Motor_class_switching

QuoteSelect Rad Power Bikes models offer motor class switching to allow you to select a motor class for your ebike that best suits your needs. Motor class switching is available on the following models with color displays:

Radster Road
Radster Trail
RadWagon 5
RadExpand 5 Plus

To change the motor class setting while the ebike is stopped, navigate to the Menus screen and select the 'Class' menu, and then use the remote buttons to select the class setting most appropriate for you. Once a new class is selected, it will default when the ebike is powered on.
Followed by a chart of characteristics of the classes, includiong this:
* Class 3 functionality on U.S. ebikes only. Not available on RadExpand 5 Plus

Does that help?

Maybe it actually is charged up but the output fuse is blown.
I don't know what's in the semi-integrated batteries, and the manual for the RR6+ makes no mention of them. Maybe they're soldered on the PC board, maybe they're more like a circuit breaker that eventually resets itself.
In the non-semi integrated batteries there's one fuse for charging (something like 5 or 10 amps) and another for output/discharging (40 amps?).
Conceivably, if the charging fuse is good, the charger can still charge it, but if the main (output) fuse is gone it looks totally dead according to the on-battery LEDs or the handlebar display. Green LED on the charger would mean that it's finished charging.

Again, this is all sheer speculation on my part,🤷🏼 but it would seem to be consistent with the symptoms you reported.
