I have done several mods on my Radwagon: home made front rack, rear waterbottle moint, added a rear perimeter small diameter tubing rack under the rear wooden deck for mounting panniers. Added six Drings per side to the rear running boards as mounting points for lashing loads or cargo net hold downs. I moved the headlamp up to the handlebar stem so the light still follows the front wheel and gives better illumination. Rad's front rads moves the heAdlamp to the rack where it no longer follows the front wheel movement.

I think we need a video walk-around just to detail all of these mods
I am planning to do a video walk around, but there are a few more mods in the works before this will happen.


I am very curious as well! Looking forward to the video.

I used a conventional aluminium rod waterbottle rack and mounted it on the right vertical frame tube at the front of the rear rack, with stainless steel worm drive hose clamps. This puts the bottle inside the triangular area between the seatpost and the rear rack on my 2018 Radwagon. It sits above the motor controller but does not touch it. The only waterbottle mount on the Radwagon is under to lower frame downtube and is too close to the front fender to allow a bottle cage to be mounted there. These threaded inserts do work for some types of air pimp mointing brackets, so are still useful.


That is such a great idea. Wondering if you are able to have access to the water bottle when you are riding or if you need to stop in order to reach the bottle?

Wondering if you bring your battery inside when it gets cold and it isn't hooked up to your bike? I will ride my Rad until there is salt and snow and sometimes temperatures are below freezing. Typically I just bring it in for the winter, but wondering if I shouldn't let it sit outside all day and night in the cold.

While it took a couple of weeks of charging our phones and tablets here and there I am happy to report our Rad Wagon battery now shows 3/5 bars. I feel much better about winter storage of the battery now.

That looks so great! Too bad you can't ride around town like that with all the lights!
I have ridden my bike, for the last several years with Christmas lights wrapped around the main frame tubes. I use battery powered LED multi-colored sets. One year I rode nine miles with a 10 foot tall noble fir christmas tree lashed to the toptube and rear rack of my bike. I lashed the branches closer to the trunk and had to straddle the tree to pedal. It was awkward riding, but I made it home with me and the tree intact. I had the colored lights on my bike at the time.


That's amazing! What kind of lights did you use? And how was the battery life on them? I would think that's a great idea for year round riding too. Increases your visibility!
