I can only login with my phone browser. On PC site not accept password and "forgot your password" does not do anything. Last time it worked a month ago. But I had to reset password then. Also username in login and shown name are different.

I made one from chopping board. I might add few pop rivets.

Do you know what kind of plastic it is?
This looks promising.

https://amzn.to/3MmdAJT

It's polypropylene, 5mm thick. Polypropylene is used for hinges because it can bend a lot of times without deterioration. It's a thermoplastic, which means it can be heated to melting without degradation. The usual melting point is 266 F, which is easy for a heat gun. It's not good for machining because it deforms at a low temperature. Maybe that means it could be reshaped well below the melting point. I want to shape it with sides to keep water from blowing around it. Maybe I could put one or more notches in each side so that if it hit something, it could flex instead of tearing the fender.

2 mm thick polypropylene.
But small touch to the terrace board was too much for it.

It looks as if yours would flex like a mud flap if it hit an obstacle. That's one solution.

Yes, and very wise. When the flap is that low just going slowly down a small curb can catch it. If the material is hard and low the curb can damage not just the flap but put all that downward force straight up pulling or ripping the fender off the mounting struts.

This is why most fender manufacturers use rubbery material.

After test ride: it's quite noisy on dirt roads when small rocks and other partikles hit it. It could be few cm narrower and shorter. Few ground contatcts on bumps. It's flexible material, but that curvy shape stiffen it.
But at least my feet and controller box are dry.

I have Topeak Aero Wedge Pack on my RadMini 4.

I made a adapter from bottom part of old cart (similar in last picture). It also supports whole bag nicely.

I don't want to take my hands off from handlebar, so I bought WingLights POP's from local shop.

https://cycl.bike/products/winglights-pop

Visibility could be better in daylight and I can't use them with my new SQlab 710 grips.

I got the hydraulic brakes from big game bikes, they're great, they have a motor cut off which for me was a deal breaker and shipping to canada is included!!

Highly recommend.

I also placed an order there yesterday. Additional charges were lower than I recalled.

Kari,

Area13 appears to ship international.  I would drop them an email to info@boltonebikes.com to see if they will ship to your location.  I'm not sure if anyone else has come across  a Hydraulic Caliper in Europe that can advise you better.

It's just really expensive with delivery fees, customs fees and taxes.

Any of these available from EU? I allready have cheap cable operated hydraulic brakes on my RadMini 4. So I would prefer something better quality this time.
#11
Seat that supports your sit bones, adjustable stem for better handlebar position and mirror.
#12
More power (a lot of more), but less smoothness.
Now 47 km testing behind and end of the day I'm gonna change back to original screen.
I'll give it another change when there is new update available or I get more info to adjust it for my needs.

Eggrider V2 works great with EU RR(+) ( And I don't foresee anything different for the radmini )!

I've logged about 1090W peak power output on some steep hills and hit ~41km/h ( in a controlled environment )

PAS difference will need time to get used to, but I'm fairly happy and have logged 830km with it already :)

Good to hear that!
I got mine today. First ride whit it tomorrow.

Hope it's a blast!

I'd recommend printing a sun hood for it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4583482 ( You can also find a bottom bracket print for eggrider in thingiverse since they can break easily if you go too right )

3d printed sun hood came with it.

Hi, were you able to find out if it works? Just ordered a Radmini 4 EU myself

No, not yet. But I ordered one (from Big Game Bikes) and I hope it arrives soon.
I'll report here when I have some experience from it.
