The horn feature got me thinking so I just moved the unit to the handlebar and attached the remote with the horn button closest to the shifter using heavy duty outdoor velcro.   Thanks.

I got a different brand, zip tied to a RR 5 brake light frame after relocating the light to a rack.  Great item to have. Very loud.  Also thought about putting it under the seat.

Agree, but canceled my Bolton order, tired of waiting.

RadRover / Extra wide YLG seat fits and comfortable
November 16, 2020, 11:01:53 AM
Big improvement for this older rider.  Angling the seat nose upward  slightly gives a supported feel in consideration of the curved seat contour.  Found on Amazon and note a $5 discount box to check (if still offered).  Pleased with the upgrade to the Radrover 5.

Rad Modifications / Extra wide YLG seat
November 16, 2020, 10:57:17 AM
Just installed this extra wide YLG seat to replace the Cloud 9 on my Radrover 5.  MUCH MORE comfort for this older man, also using it with the Suntour suspension seat post.  Could have gone with the SR 350 mm seat post instead of the 400.  A better feel with the nose of the YLG seat angled more than usual due to the seat contour.  If buying on Amazon, click the $5 discount box.

Just received this Cycplus "smart" pump and pleased with it.  Like the feature that cuts off at your desired psi.

RadRover / Re: Handlebar stem riser?

So the Outerdo stem extender felt loose upon proper RadRover 5 stem torque.  However the Triwonder brand snugged up nicely.  Pleased with the more upright posture.  And be sure to re-adjust the headset preload while extender and handlebar stem bolts are loose.

Ordered the Triwonder before I saw your post, and I saw  am Amazon comment on poor fitment.  Ordered the Outerdo as you mentioned.  Did an Amazon return of the Triwonder and they state I do not have to return it.  Seems like a lot of better comfort for a small price.  Thanks.

General Chat / Re: Batter Storage

Was just reading this on their website.
For battery storage longer than two weeks, the battery should be kept at around 75% charged, powered off, and stored in a dry place between 50 °F and 77 °F (10 °C and 25 °C). The battery should be checked every month, and if necessary, charged to around 75% charged.

RadRover / Handlebar stem riser?
October 30, 2020, 02:37:06 PM
Don't know if the handlebar stems are the same diameters for all models, but looking for recommendations or links to raise my riding posture on 2020 RadRover 5.  Need a bit more height than adjusting Handlebar angles provides.   Thanks

General Chat / Singing front disc
October 30, 2020, 02:30:31 PM
Assembled the RR 5 and the front disc was singing like a Mermaid at all speeds, stopped with slight brake pressure.  Backing off disc pad several click did mot help.  Inner pad constantly on the disc so centered the caliper and all good.   Now have to raise the handlebars for more upright posture, searching for a good riser.  Added the suntour suspension seat post, that 4 inches higher has me on toes when stopped.

General Chat / First aid kit?
October 27, 2020, 08:04:07 AM
Today is First Responders Day, and as a ex EMT and new member, I was curious how many members carry a small first aid kit?   If so, any recommendations or links to help others ride safe.  Possibly an item to add to an accessories list that may be overlooked.  Thanks all.   A updated smaller examples, the first one has eye wash.  Get one with a Triangle bandage, good for arm sling or bandage or splinting.

General Chat / Re: Why no hitch hoist rack?
October 23, 2020, 03:08:41 PM
Yes the motorcycle ramp locks in storage for transport.  As far as a hoist, even a simple two pulley hand line, block and tackle style would help.   Waiting for the Radrover 5 to arrive to judge PU loading issues.
