You need to lube the planetary gears in the rear hub with some thick white lithium grease. Noise will be gone and you'll actually go a little faster! I'm actually experimenting with some different  lubes hoping my gears don't react to the different lubes. 🤞

I'm new to forum. I posted this in pride and joy. I really like the mod I did to factory fender and light. Did not need extension cable. What do you think?

Pride & Joy / New Rover with mods in Venice Fl.

Hello! Glad to have found this forum. Picked up a 2019 Rover from a very nice guy in Port Charlotte. Had it for over a year and only put 130 miles on it. I was happy to find it on Market place. Paid $950 for it. I modded the rear fender not only cause it had some light damage to the very rear but I didn't care for the full fender look. While I was in the area, I modded the tail light. As many have mentioned, you couldn't see the whole light especially with a fender. I manage to not have to spend any $$ too!
I think it looks great and it's still a functional fender. At least it protects the bike. I can't see riding in the rain and if I do, oh well. Enjoy all the info I've read here and look forward to reading more and commenting! 😂

Think I already posted but pic wouldn't load. Trying again.

It worked! Wish I would've copied my original post.

Picked up this 19 with 123 miles couple of days ago. Rear fender was damaged and I didn't like the looks of full fender anyway so I hacked some off! lol

While I was in the area, I noticed you couldn't really see the rear light from behind the bike. So I hacked it up too!  Just kidding.

Tell me what you think. It reminds me of a flat track bike.  Btw, light mod cost $0. Bent original bracket to fit and put 2 slots in fender for tabs to fit into so they are inside flange of fender. No ext cord needed.

Still need to sand and paint bracket and drill 2 holes into flange of fender to secure. 1 on each side.

I'll post another pic or 2 when I remove bracket to paint so you can see how I bent it. Not very difficult if you have a vice.

Hi everyone. New to Radrover a couple of days ago when I got a deal on a 2019. Didn't see a welcome page but I probably didn't see it. lol
I use stans on tubeless mtb tires and I didn't experience the sealant spraying out. Bike was on the wall and I noticed a thorn. Pulled it out and heard the hiss. Rotated tire for hole at bottom and it sealed right up. Never had even a slow leak and that was months ago. I think there are 2 reasons that sealant would leak out. 1- hole is BIG!  😆
2- I think high pressure tires are more prone to pushing the sealant out. I may be stating the obvious to some folk but thought I'd give my 2 cents to see if it make sense. And say hi to the RAD crowd. 👋
