I got the Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black off Amazon. I am 6' and 165lbs. I did a 25 mile ride today and my butt was sore and hurting. Will a different Cloud 9 seat make any difference?

This is the one I got.

48v is the voltage of my bike, I'm sure I could use one with an inverter or something. But I'd be concerned that the signal for the brake light might not match up

You could get a tail light extension cable and wire it to the new tail light. Have you found a tail light?

The second cage I bought, if I put it straight up it hits the handle bars but clears the forks, opposite of the first cage. If I tilt it back half way it clears both the fork and handle bar. I want it tilted so I will be using the second cage even though it looks cheaper. It was the only one I could find where the bottom screw hole on the cage was lower.

My water bottle is 9 1/4" tall. This was the shortest insulated water bottle I could find.

first pic, cage straight up clears the fork.
Second pic, cage straight up. Hits handlebar.
Third pic, cage tilted half way back. Clears the fork.
Fourth pic, cage tilted half way back. Clears the handlebar.
fifth pic, what it looks like sitting on the bike.

This is the first cage I got off Amazon. See the pics in my previous post. The cage hits the forks.

This is the cage I got today from Amazon.

The cage on the left is the first cage I bought $11.99 for a pair and the cage on the right is the one I just got today $5.99 for a pair. As you can see the cage on the left is thicker metal and looks stronger. The cage on the left has way more reviews.

Please update us once you get the connector.

Thanks

The blue 4 pin is for the tail light. My headlight is a red two pin connector. Mine looks like the one in the Amazon link in my previous post. I will go ahead and order it and see if it works. I don't want to cut into the wiring on my Rover. This plug will be perfect if it fits.

Does anyone know what the headlight connector is called on a Radrover 5?

I seen this on Amazon.

I got the Gzila mount but the cage I got hits the fork if I tilt the mount. If I leave the bottle holder straight up it's ok but not much room above the fork.

I will try ordering a different cage. The first picture is with the mount straight up and the second picture is the mount tilted all the back.

After reading more about the Eggrider and the lack of updates for more that a year I think I would rather put the money towards a controller with screen upgrade.

The Eggrider is a Display. The display is pretty small but you can connect Bluetooth to your phone and use your phone to display info while riding. I'm not sure what controllers the Eggrider is compatible with.
