Finally got the 12v motorcycle turn signals working. The motto if at first you don't succeed try, try, again came into play with this mod. My original plan to use my powerbank with 12v usb booster failed due to the bank shutting off when no load was present. Next I added a dummy load and that failed as well. Next I tried to use the USB-c output on the display and that failed as well shutting down as soon as I turned on the turn signals. Got all the wiring done and into a box mounted where the front basket used to be. Even made a custom graphic for the plain black cover. So now I needed another solution and found this

One of the few power banks that remain on always used for time lapse photography and stuff like cctv cameras and such. Anyway 12 v out is perfect so I ran the power cord back to the rear along the same path as the wire for the rear turn signals and mounted the bank in the tote. Soldered up the plug as with all other connections and shrink wraped the joints. Eureka it works and I took my first ride with them operational today. Super de duper..

Also mounted a tire pump to the lower frame with the existing bottle cage screws. Nice feature of the Radwagon 5 is lots of these frame mounting

Court approved the sale...

Yes, a court hearing to approve the asset sale was held on
January 30, 2026. While the transaction was formally set for official approval on that date, it is characterized as the final step before the deal closes, which is expected by mid-February 2026.

I have been receiving regular emails from Rad customer support regarding my cracked display. They have been searching the dealer network to find one for me. Encouraging The company will survive and treat customers well.

So I relocated the front turn signals up where I could see and hear them. Before when they were on the basket I could not tell if they were on or not. Now I can both see them flash and hear the beep.

For the rear I changed the reflector position and added a second as well as a slow moving vehicle reflective sticker.

Love the 60T gear. First ride with it and cruzin 19-26 mph was very nice and comfortable. No more torque surging and no problem starting from a stop in high gear. It is a winner for me I would go 62 if I could find one but I am happy with this. Today was a load test day..

with 55 lbs of water bottles in the rear and more groceries in the front there was absolutely no wobble at all speeds. Rode just like empty except when stopped and leaning the bike could I feel the extra weight. Front end steering seemed slightly lighter but very stable in turns. I was really happy and impressed. Sure it could handle even more weight and there was still plenty of room in the totes.
