That's really nice! Freehand paint or decals? Either way looks classy.

I purchased this for a RadMini STEP-THRU and ended up not installing it. I'm being lazy and the 'Mini ST owner will never go off road. It's white and comes with the zip-tie to mount the front half, and the rear half bolts to the rear fender bracket. Refer to Cascade Manufacturings web site for a picture and how it mount, very easy if your'e not lazy like me and don't mind the wires being "covered". It only works on the RadMini STEP-THRU, hence the all caps on the words STEP-THRU. Its a $20 value for free. Notify me you want it under this ad and PM/DM me your address. It'll ship cheap USPS parcel post from Norfolk, VA. First come/first served.

I'm sorry, I must have misread your post. But I know your pain. Here's how. I own an Italian motor scooter. It's a great scooter and been super reliable in the 2 years and 16.000 miles I've owned it. But no one ever has needed parts in-stock. So I pretend I'm psychic and pre-order "needed" parts in advance. I follow the forms and note whats failed on others with the same scooter. The scooter prior to this one was even worse for parts! I was hunting the whole east coast for a wreaked parts scooter until I lost a end bearing. It does stink when proprietary parts are hard to come buy. I would hope that as our ebikes get more popular cross compatible parts will become the norm.

I bought a sheet of fake carbon fiber wrap from the auto parts store and put that around my center stand leg that hits the chain. It (wrap) will eventually get ground thru so I just put on a fresh piece. I guess you could buy a chain stay slap guard and cut it to size for you center stand as well.

I don't know how to post links but look up SKUNK LOCK! I saw it featured on Innovation Nation with Mo Rocca and the lock is flat out AWESOME!

Bernard, please don't rake this the wrong way, but if customer service is the priority then buy a mainstream brand from a brick and mortar bicycle shop in your area. Specialized, Trek, Pedego. In over 2000 miles I've never had a reason to contact Rad Power for any support so I have no experience with their customer service. But I had a Pedego before my Rad Runner and it was really nice just going a few miles down the road for one on one, real in-person customer service. But Pedego didn't sell what I wanted and price was my main concern, hence the 'Runner.

BMX bikes come in 22"s now. Just get on a good BMX parts website for inner-tubes. And some BMX bikes actually run wide tires as well. 22" is common now.

I bought a white one and and just received it. Quality is pretty good, and the white finish is nice as well. You bolt one end on the lower fender mount and the other side goes between the sprocket and frame, and is held in place with a zip tie. It covers everything as advertised and was $20. I ended up not mounting it because I would have to remove the wheel to get the rear lower fender screw out. I'm being lazy and the Mini ST owner didn't care either way, so it will be coming up for FREE soon in the classifieds.

You can make anything work. I have a 33 (or 35) liter SHAD motorcycle trunk on the back of my 'Runner. Was going to do a basket but if I get caught in the rain my backpack gets soaked. Plus if I stop I can lock my trunk. I have a Cascade Topeak plate on the 'Mini ST and got the folding milk crate thing with the wheels for shopping. Flat when not in use yet nice and sturdy when open. You'll love your Rad, trust me! My commute is 14 miles each way. I purchased an extra charger and leave it at my desk. Got tired of carrying the charger back and forth.

You have to turn them on thru the display buttons. And, some of the headlights have a on/off position as well. My 'Runner had one. If this info doesn't help make sure the lights are connected in the looms. My 'Mini ST had the headlight unplugged when I got it (easy fix) and then I accidentally disconnected the rear light when working on the rear wheel. If the lights work the same way as my Runner, when on hold the middle and upper buttons at the same time and the lights (with the icon on the display) will come on.

20x3.0-4.0 is the size I installed on both the 'Runner and the 'Mini ST. Tannus site has them but their sold out. Rad Power website might have them in-stock. Also try a Pedego dealer if you have one in you general area. My Pedego dealer has a wide range in-stock.

Jman, what did you do with the old Big Boats?

Very interesting find! Reminds me of the early 2 speed shifters that got banned in the early days of bmx racing. Please pound some miles on it and do a follow up. And better pictures if you don't mind.

Here's my take on the flat (evil F word) issue.
I ride the ebike further and more often than I've ever ridden my analog bike.
Your'e either on the sidewalk (with trash on it) or the side of the road near the gutter (with trash in it).
Regular bike=10mph. Eboke+21mph. Less time to react to trash.
Dummies like me believed the provided flat protection actually worked. Now I know better.
Ebikes are way heavier than a normal bike.
Bigger/fat ebike tires cover more surface than normal bicycle tires.
I ride thru areas I normally wouldn't ride thru on the ebike, like weird short-cuts and such.
I spend more time riding than checking over the ebike before rides. I need to get better about inspections.
Swerving around trash is harder on a heavier ebike, and moving faster doesn't help.
So I wen't with Tannus. I know nothing is 100% but any piece of mind is worth it to me. Flats on ebikes are horrible, and it's always the rear wheel!

While riding around the 'Mini ST I really liked the Big Boat tires. I might put them on my "Runner when the stock tires wear out. The Big Boats were quieter and seemed smoother as well.
