![]() A lot of people are changing out the front chain ring to a 53 tooth because when you hit top speed, you’re like a hampster in a hampster wheel. There are lots of complaints of flats and Tuffy liners are recommended. The tires are not rated very high by others but I’m ok with them so far. RAD POWER BIKES REVIEW UPGRADELuna sells a fork that I’ve read is a good upgrade for a good price. I’ve read some owners upgrading to the Rock Shox Bluto which is very expensive. Some people have swapped it out for a rigid fork. There is also a lot of flex in the cheap RST front fork when stopping. My rear derailleur was fine but it took a lot of time to get the brakes adjusted and I’m still not 100% happy with them. I’ve always done my maintenance on my bikes so I have most of the tools to do it myself. You will most likely have to make adjustments out of the box. ![]() The batteries alone cost $550 so over 1/3 of the price of the bike. I promptly called rad customer service and sent them pictures of the damage and They agreed to send me a new one which took about a week to get here. On mine, the battery had come off of the bike and was floating around in the box. Note that there is a relatively common issue of damage in shipment by UPS, who is their shipper of choice. I’ve put close to 100 miles on mine with no issues. That being said, for the price and the customer service, they are great bikes. ![]() My thoughts are that they keep the price of the bike where it is because they use low end compontnts. One thing that I really like is that it uses off the shelf conmponents so nothing proprietary as it relates to the bike part of the bike. I purchased it because I wanted an electric mode of transportation, a Tesla was out of my price range and having tried a boosted board and onewheel, an ebike fit my needs best. I also knew nothing about ebikes, and when I started researching, this one fit my budget and had a lot of good reviews though I did not check here first. I have owned a Radrover for about a month. ![]()
