Great, thanks that sounds in line with what iv been reading!!

I keep hearing that any long term storage should be kept at approximately 50-75%
And since i won't be able to ride for 6-8 weeks and wont be able to use and charge 12 hrs 3 cycles, thought it was best to leave battery as is at 75%.. Keep getting conflicting info.

Just got my new Rad mini, came charged at 75%, since its been so cold in the northeast, and i wont be riding for some weeks, can i just not start up the use and charge 12 hr conditioning and leave battery and bike stored indoors for 6-8 weeks as long as battery indicates 75% power not being used. Then i assume use and charge when I can condition battery properly.

Yes i discovered this is what Rad is supplying now, definitely not as aggressive as Kinda tires but i plan on mild trail paths and park trails which tend to be compacted i so hope that they'll do ok, if the trade off is quiet on the road ill take it 👍

Yes, i used this post and the cloud 9 seat and makes for as good of a ride seat comfort you'll find. If you're like e me  seat comfort was the only thing that was keeping me from riding long distances or long days, with this set up soo comfortable

Hello all, just put my mini together today and my bike has tires iv never seen on the recent vids or pics on rad site or elsewhere. These look more like a road tire not a nobby type tire at all,
The tires are CST BIG BOATS 76-406
(20x3.00), does anybody know if these
Have the Puncher protection as the new Kenda tires if seen on the Rad website
Which are advertised as being puncher resistant.

Anyone have any experience in using this rack on a rad mini, or any other universal racks, this on on Amazon

Seems we wont see any of rads rear racks for mimi's anytime soon!!

Thanks for that info

Anybody advise me on the size of the seat post on a 2020 rad mini.
Considering a basic spring seat post

Great, thanks for the info, guess ill get thr hang of this Charging as to only go for a full charge if you're planning a undetermined long travel or exploring, otherwise just shoot for 60-80% chsrge for low pedal assist rides of 15 to 25 mile rides!

Wow, thanks for the info, I've definitely already decided to go with the mini, and your comments run with so many I've seen. Im a mechanical kinda guy so i don't expect to have any troubles keeping it running strong. On your one comment im curious  how you time your charging to not charge to full charge, just monitor it or what, or is fully chsrging it really a issue. Thanks for all your input

Thanks so much for your detailed response, im seeing a great deal of opinion
On how to treat battery charging so i guess we all do the best we can in maintaining it. I do find it hard to believe when I've read that Rad is suggesting the battery is capable of 800 cycles, at even 3 times a week for someone using as a recreational type bike, that would be over 5 years of performance??? Anyway im sure I'll read plenty of opinions on this topic, thanks again for your info.

About to pull the trigger on a rad mini, few questions to those who own 2020
What size and type of tires are on newest version., and are they tubless. Is slime recommended in these type tires. I see the tires now come with K shied Puncher protection, is this performing well?
Is charging recommended after each time you ride, regardless of amount of battery used. Seems they go through brake pads quickly, does buying better grade of pad help any.
Iv seen battery performance rated at 800 full cycles, is this a real expectation, saw some say they noticed the performance slowly degrade at 2-3000 milles which would be well below 800 cycles, does age have an impact on this performance, it would seem reasonable at 5 years of certainly less that 800 cycles you could be nearing the end of battery life.
Are spokes failing a regular issue, have seen several posting vids of this, im sure type of riding and user weights have a lot of bearing on the spokes.
Are there known wire harness issues.
Thanks all for any advice and or tips, info.
I've already decided to go ahead with purchase of a mini, just getting ahead of these general issues, always been a mechanical kinda person and like to get up on staying on top of such items, i have seen a general feeling of good strong quality at this price point, if it takes a little bit of maintenance thats expected!!

New to this using of Stans or Slime, is it intended to use on tubed tires, was going to put it in my new Rad Mini tires as a preventive measure before my first riding season coming up. Is it as easy as removing tire valves, injecting 2 oz, rotate tires to distribute sealant, reinflat tires, snd can i do this on the bike! Sorry for the rediculous questions but never worked with these new sealants.

Ok, thanks all, anybody wanna chime in on their experience with using their mini on park type mild trails, dirt etc, do they handle good or more of a chore, seems that with that steering position, smaller wheel dimensions and low center of gravity it could get squirrely with much speed on any softer ground!!
