RadRunner / RadRunner Plus Owners?
January 06, 2021, 01:55:46 AM
Anyone have the RR Plus?  I noticed on the Rad site the RR Plus doesn't have a middle kickstand like the RR1 does.  Anyone know what kind of kickstand it has?

Anyone install the Bolton upgrade kit on their RadRunners?  More I see these the more I want one now, but can't believe ship date isn't until March :(

Rad Power Bikes Classifieds / Buyer beware!
November 11, 2020, 02:49:02 AM
I had an unfortunate transaction with a fellow member on here recently.  You can see my post here:  https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,541.0.html
His forum name is Frank717.  He referred me to someone - colethomas717@aol.com who had a rear rack for sale that I wanted.  I ended up sending him the funds via Paypal and since then never heard back from him and no rack was ever sent to me.  I must admit I should've been more careful.  I shouldn't have sent him the funds as Friends and Family.  I was just trying to be kind to cover the fees so he didn't have to and I was just too trusting I guess.

So learn from my mistake fellow Rad owners and be careful with this person on here.  If you purchase anything on here or any forum for that matter, don't ever send funds as Friends and Family because you can't dispute it.  Also, if anyone ever says they 'know someone else', please be careful.

Anyone want to sell me theirs and/or know where I can buy one of these?  I can't seem to find out who makes these racks for Rad.  According to Rad, they don't anticipate getting these back in stock anytime soon.  >:(

Rad Modifications / Rover Step-Thru Upgrades
September 28, 2020, 01:54:32 PM
I just got my RR Step-Thru a few weeks and this thing has me feeling like a kid again!  One of my best buys in a long time.  Anyways, I got the mod bug and did a few upgrades -

Shimano pedals - Just wanted something a bit grippier and thinner.  You can also adjust the pins to make the pedals more/less grippier. 



Shimano 4 piston hydraulic brakes - Probably one of the best upgrades so far.  Braking is night and day compared to the stock Tektro brakes.  It took a bit to run the cable through the frame and re-bleed but it's well worth the effort and much quieter too, almost no sound at all.  I'm selling a set where I messed up one of the cable ends in the classified section - https://www.radowners.com/index.php/topic,478.0.html





Spank Industries Handlebar and Stem - This too dramatically changed the feel of the bike for me.  I don't have the longest arms and the stock handlebar was just a bit too high and far out for me.  After a long ride I could really feel my shoulders starting to burn.  The handlebar and stem combo I got lowers the stance and shortens my reach as well.  It feels amazing and comfortable now.  I also like the more aggressive and lower stanced look to the bike overall as well.  If you do decide to change the stem, just be careful with the sizing because the stock Rad display bracket isn't wide enough to accommodate a lot of aftermarket stems.

After





Bolton Controller Upgrade - This is probably the number 1 upgrade for me with the Shimano brakes being 2nd best.  This upgrade has completely changed the feel of the bike for me.  The torque is truly amazing.  The bike just feels quicker and more nimble.  This should've came like this from Rad!  I just got the latest controller and it looks like the layout has been updated as well.  The speedometer is a bit buggy but I'm still playing with the settings so hopefully I can iron that piece out.  Other than that, install was pretty straight forward.  Everything was plug and play.  I did have to play with how to mount the controller unit itself a bit, but got it on pretty solid using a combination of the bolts/screws, industrial velcro, and tie straps.  The bracket for the display is also wider than the stock one which is great if you want to change to an aftermarket stem.  I definitely won't be going back to stock!





Everything I installed was straight forward.   Everything bolted right on and I'm no bike mechanic by any means.  I'm an IT guy..haha.  This is probably the first time I've ever worked on a bike before.  YouTube is the best!  I definitely won't go back to the stock parts these replaced.

I'm selling this brand new set of Shimano hydraulic brakes.  One of the best upgrades I did on my RR Step-Thru!  I'm selling this set because I initially tried to install this and I messed up one of the cable ends trying to shove it through the frame as you can see in one of the pics.  You can easily take this to a bike shop to have the cable replaced, I'm just too lazy to do it.  I never even mounted the brakes.  Selling for $50, free shipping to anywhere in the US.  You'd have to buy the sensors for the controller separately of course.  Let me know if you have any questions.
