I have 1200 miles on my Radrover 5
I bought it about 4 months ago,
Is it time to balance the battery??
Probably have charged it about 100 times since balancing when it was new,
Your input is much appreciated,
Thanks, Paul

You won't need to balance it unless the battery is new, not used for a while, or if you notice a decrease in range. Rad warns against balancing more than once a month. If the battery is in regular use, it will maintain balance fairly well.

Thanks for the info Altema

I've never dealt with Bike Flights but hear good things about them. There is also Uship. A friend ships motorcycles and scooters thru them. Get the specs from Rad Power for weight and size and look into both of those options. If your really that serious (or anyone else) PM me your cell number and I'll shoot ya some detailed pictures, about 10 pictures in all. I WILL NOT exploit your cell number. If this ends up an out of state transaction I'll take a U.S.P.S. Money Order but would still love a local sale, or meet someone within my pinball stops. But I have no idea what the cost of shipping would be, so please look into it and consider the total cost compared to a new one. Again, send me a PM with a cell number and I'll send out the pictures. I should just try to post them here.

The price is right, you should have no problem selling it locally, BUT, I will check out some shipping options to get it here to Ca.

OR, You could ride it out here, And I will buy you a bus ticket back home,

Prefer local sale. Here's what I have. Purchased around Sept. 2020 Green RadRunner 1 with the following.
Upgraded Rad headlight and display.
Rad fenders.
Pogo post and Sella seat. Also have original.
SHAD SH34 trunk.
Hafny mirrors.
HipLok chain lock.
Tannus inserts.
New rear Rad tire.
Battery always looked after.
Never crashed and wheels true. No mystery noises.
Around 2500 miles, 400ish miles on the upgraded display.
Has some paint specs from riding thru someone spraying a fence white. Not super noticeable on the front. Might come off.
I travel to Grandy NC area, Richmond, VA area and soon Charlottesville, VA (pinball) so I could meet someone interested in those areas as well. PM me if interested. Will note when it sells.
Reason for selling is I bought a new ebike and wife has no interest in a ebike. Don't need 2 ebikes.
Asking $500 FIRM.

I really want it scOOter, My problem is I live in Santa Cruz, Ca. Can we arrange something?
Thanks, Paul

Quote from: santacruzpaul on September 13, 2021, 10:05:26 AMTotally agree, Picking a saddle is like trying on shoes, One feature that I need is the real springs,  Tried the no real spring model once and it was not kind to my back, I should probably get seat post suspension.

I combined my C-9 with a Redshift ShockStopper - an amazing suspension post, but not inexpensive.  I got about 15-20% off directly from their site with a first-time-buyer discount code, but just recently Amazon put them on sale for about the same discounted price for exactly one day.  So if you're not in a hurry, you don't have to pay full price by keeping an eye on it.

Looking into it, Thanks jiminpt

I noticed your seat too. How do you like it?

I can vouch for the Cloud 9 brand; very nicely designed and well-made seats.  However, they have quite a few models and they fit differently, so the process is sort of like trying on shoes.  After 5 different seats and 2 of the C-9 brand (my first try was this one: https://amzn.to/3Gpa4fd), I ended up with this one:  https://amzn.to/3vZsZc5 

Not crazy about the overly-long nose (although I'm used to it now), but it's more comfortable than the first C-9 I tried and the difference is the wider width and flatter top surface.  Great seat, but might not be the right fit for you.  Many people seem to like the Bikeroo seats; it didn't fit well for me, but it's also a well-made product.  Fortunately, Amazon is good about accepting returns.

I love the ammo boxes! Great idea!

I noticed your seat too. How do you like it?

The OD Green ammo cans match the color of the Radrover, I use one for my game camera's, and the other holds 3 beers wrapped in frozen ice packs. I do some wildlife photography, and they come in handy, I also have another larger set up that fits the large platform, The other single ammo box measures about 20"X12"X6" high.
I have 3 saddles, The pictured Cloud 9 gell is a good choice, I also have the Bikeroo, And it works well also, Just be sure to get the seat with real springs, They are more shock absorbing for me, I weigh 220.

Forgot to mention, One needs stick on velcro for the handles on the ammo cans so they don't flop around.

Thanks for the knowledge all, Please chime in if you can educate me any more on getting tires,
Have a great weekend, Paul
PS. Santa Cruz, Ca. is going to be a Zoo this weekend with the triathlon going on, Glad I have the Radrover to get around. Looks like gridlock till early afternoon.

Just turned 1000 miles, Will probably need a rear tire in another few hundred or so miles, I was looking for a super tough puncture resistant tire and tube, Without the tire noise of the Kenda's. I do about 60% street and 40% light off road and trail.
I should also mention I have never had a flat yet, I am always watching the road for obstacles. I am an older guy, And can't repair a flat by myself.

Thank you soo much for the input all,  Below link is one of my considerations, Any Thoughts?

Has anyone needed new tires for their Radrover yet? I need a set soon, Advise is much appreciated,

Am in the market for a new set of tires for my Radrover, Any suggestions besides the stock Kenda's? I am an old guy, and can't change a flat, So looking for something super puncture resistant for on and off road. Thanks in advance, Paul
