tell me why you don't wear one.
I was out recently and a couple on Aventons passed me. The "dad" was pulling what appeared to be a 3 or 4 year old in one of those cute trailer things. She had no helmet on, the dad had no helmet, the mom had no helmet. Spent probably $4K on bikes but no helmets. They were riding near where I live which has very heavy, very rude and very unsafe drivers. I did a Phil from Groundhog Day and caught up with the mom who was trailing behind. Explained that is was none of my business but that kid needed a helmet and so did she. I told her you are riding a motorized vehicle and bad things can happen very quickly. Explained how I knew because both of my sons were hit by cars and the helmets probably saved their brains. She kept going I know, I know. If that kid had been on the back of a motorcycle the law here would have made in mandatory that she wear a helmet. What's the difference? The ER docs call it job security.

Took a bad fall 9/25/23 riding my RadCity 5+ Step Thru. Broke both ankle bones on right side. Finally got ok from surgeon literally 100 days later to get back on the bike. I'm 71 and overweight so it was an ordeal to say the least. Still some pain at times. Doctor said it would take a year for full healing. I have a feeling it will always bark in cold weather. Bike suffered broken rear brake lever. $75.00 for the part more for install. Also the cage protecting the deraileur was really bent. Tech said it saved the derailleur. While I was at it replaced tires with Schwalbe Johnny Watt 27.5 X 2.35. More of an SUV type tire and had to modify fender connections to get them in there. I wanted bigger tires but not a FAT tire bike. The Johnnys' look great and I expect same performance wise. Also added Miles brake pads. All work was done by Cannon Cyclery in Roswell Ga. They are a Rad Dealer now so a good resource for parts, warranty or mods. Really nice people at this shop. Finally everyone said it could have been worse. And mainly it was not worse because I was wearing my helmet. I still see a lot people without them. This shit can happen really fast and if you value your brain put on a helmet.

No throttle or PAS sometimes after coming to a stop. NO error message and lights and display or still on. Just no throttle-PAS. So Far if I turn the power to the bike off with the on off button power is usually restored after one try. I spoke to a RADCITY tech at a dealer in California and he had the same problem but his solution was to cycle the PAS down to 0 and then cycle up and the power would return. I'll try that if when it happens again but this is very annoying and potentially very dangerous depending on location when this occurs. I asked RC tech if the brakes cutting off the motor could be a culprit he said no because he had those cables disconnected on his bike. I asked if there was a wiring diagram showing where and what each connector was tied to and he said no, RC would not let them have one. That amazed me and I thought it was illegal now for manufactures to do that. Anyway if you've had this problem and figured out a hack I would greatly appreciate it if you share.
