No, I never did change the chainring out. The controller seems to limit my speed to 24.7 mph anyway. I can coast or pedal on PAS 0 above that limit though. I have been as fast as 28 - 29 mph in PAS 0, but once PAS is a 1 - 5, it will limit speed. Oh well! Thanks for asking again.

I didn't know it limited pedaling speed with PAS enabled. That would explains why it feels like you are hitting a wall at the cutoff speed! I've been up to 34 mph, but I had to pedal like a maniac downhill to do it! Guess I was overcoming the motor resistance? I'll have to try it at PAS 0 now, lol.

I found several on Amazon, though you would have to look for ones that do not add thickness to the back of the seat since the passenger seat is almost touching. I don't know the RadRunner seat dimensions, but many of the covers list their dimensions. If you search for "gel bicycle seat cover", it will give you a list.

I can adjust the top speed on my new RadMini 4, and it works properly.

That is definitely an engineering error. They should have welded loops behind that bar to attach the springs.

That's great on the miles! You almost make me wanna buy the upgraded display for my RadRunner so I can keep track of that info as well.

You can use a smartphone app like Map My Ride. The speed display is a bit laggy, but the distance seems to be accurate. I haven't tried others yet, but there's lots of them.

I've been looking for something similar for the RadMini, and found one at Cascade Manufacturing for $23 US. Protects the bundle of wires, controller, and the crank sensor.

Get 500 in five weeks and your average will still be secure. Glad you are getting out. That is what I love about my rad. No more excuse for not getting out.

Thanks for the encouragement, and I did get back on track tonight: 608 miles in six weeks. I took a ride in the early afternoon, and had to get back for a meeting. I charged it back up and checked the odometer, and it was at 596, so I went back out after dinner. The bike trail was deserted in the dark, so I blasted it, and at one point almost lost control because I hit some branches going 34mph pedaling hard on a downhill! Had too much speed for the curve, lol. Of course I slowed it way down to 10mph or less for the two couples I did see during the 12 miles, but other than that it was a speed run, averaging 14.8 mph which included stops and sitting at traffic lights to and from the trail.

Thank you everyone. Great information. I kinda feel like the mini might be a better buy for me. I'm a loser on center storage but rear rack might be all I really need. Thank you. I'm all over the place i know.

Rad makes front and rear racks for the Mini, plus cargo platforms, bags, and baskets that bolt right to the rack and look like mini shark cages 
You can also fit aftermarket racks, and although many of them say they are not compatible with folding bikes, I've been using a rack from West Biking that works very well on my RadMini 4.

Hope this helps!

How do you like that C9 seat?  Is it as comfy as all the reviews say?  Any soreness after riding?  I just ordered one myself and hoping it alleviates some of my soreness.

I have the C9 Cruiser Select Airflow, and like it a lot. It felt kinda mushy and weird at first, but I got used to it the first day, and I don't want to go back now.

My experience with similar sealants has never been good. It's never worked successfully for me, except for slowing the leak down as it sputtered the slimy contents all over the place, then the shop often will not fix a tire that has sealant in it. Even if it did work for me, I'd prefer to know I have a hole and just fix it, as opposed to possibly riding around with several holes waiting for the sealant to wear out. It's just an opinion though.

A "few" accessories? Riiiight! You have the same handlebar extension setup as I for your headlight. I bought a camera mount that fits there as well, but I took it off until needed because it looked too cluttered.

My FedEx guy was real good. He checked if we were home before unloading, then used a dolly to bring it to the porch. My wife and I slid it into the house, and I don't remember too much after that because I was too excited!

The box is still in my basement will all the packing stuff. It would be nice if there was a program to return the box and all it's packing to Rad. It could be electrostatically sanitized, then they could reuse the good bits and recycle the rest.

Has anyone tried the battery jacket from ETSY? ITt looks nice. But I wonder if covering the battery would retain too much heat. Any thoughts about this??

It should be fine as long as the ambient air temperature is below 85 F (29.4 C), and you aren't using the bike hard (throttle only on long grades). I'd just take it off on really hot days.
But on the flip side, if it's cold out, it would help keep the battery from getting as cold as it would without the jacket.

Just put in a notification to be notified when something comes back in stock. I never looked at Rads site but can you pay for a item while out of stock and have it ship when it comes back, kinda like the RadRunner I ordered?

In my experience, no. I asked if I could order the suspension seat post, and was told by Rad via email that accessories cannot be preordered.
