Title: Compatible kickstand for Radwagon?
Post by: Hbomb on April 25, 2020, 10:51:34 AM
Hi everyone! The kickstand on the radwagon just isn't stable enough to feel safe loading two kids or cargo. I've been doing some research online, do you guys thing that the StandTogether kickstand on the Yuba bikes would work as a replacement? It's the only on that looks like it would work with the springs. Here's a link...

I'd imagine that it wouldn't work just given it's a custom part. This is quite expensive but you could see if this company plans to build a kickstand for the RadWagon: http://www.rollingjackass.com/index.html (http://www.rollingjackass.com/index.html)

Rad Power Bikes does not recommend loading any cargo with the kickstand down.

Yes I know, I'm more talking about the safety of my kiddos when loading them, or rounding the bike from one side to the other. I'm not confident in the kickstand that comes with the Rad.

Thanks for the link, yikes on the prices though! I'm gonna talk to my velofix guy who has put together hundreds of Rad bikes. Maybe he has an idea.

Good idea, let us know if you find something that works.

I just got a used 2018 RadWagon with a missing kickstand and the mounting bracket was ripped off.  The RadWagon stand is $25 plus shipping and tax, which seems reasonable.  I need to find a welder to fabricate a mount, but now I'm wondering.. why is the stock kickstand bad?

It bounces around a bit over bumps, but I wouldn't call it bad. I think $25 isn't a bad price given that no one has found a better third party solution.

I agree to the first post, the stand can be a bit noicey.
I have screwed some rubber "plate" on the stand a d now it's quit.
But i think the stand should be a bit wider, bike is not stable when kids climb the bike with stand down.
I also think the stand should be a tiny bit higher or maybe a bit larger "feet"
The feets digs down in the ground if not solid and hard ground, making the bike unstable too.

I got some plans to modify my stand.

the yuba kickstand mounts with 2 bolts and the rad mounts with 1 bolt so i doubt it would work

I hop she's not still waiting for an option to the original stand
