I bought this bag from Amazon and it indeed does fit the older batteries perfectly.  I strapped it to the underside of my RR+ deck for storage on a 54mi ride last week.

Etrailers recommended these 2 racks for a 1-1/4" receiver hitch for my 2 rad rovers

Does anybody have any experience with either?

I actually ordered the Hollywood rack you note here from etrailer.com, however, along with a 1-1/4" hitch.  Bill from etrailer caught my order before it shipped and said the rack needs a class2 hitch, not class1, so I have no rack solution right now.  :(

Be sure you have a class2 hitch for those racks.

I wouldn't worry about it.  I've been out on 90min rides in heat in the 80s and 90s.  It's not so bad with the wind blowing over you as you zoom around with your Rad.  Maybe give your battery a break for 30min before starting to charge it back up is what I will typically do.

I was on Rad's website looking at accessories yesterday and noticed a few new items(colored grips, new rolltop bags). Then I was watching this video review of the new RadRover6, https://youtu.be/HXSSGmyOWVA?t=1049 and he notes that "Rad actually has a plastic locking trunk box now and their going to have side-locking, almost like a motorcycle thing.  If you get all 3 then the hardware is blocked so people can't steal it."

I've searched through Rad's website and Google and haven't found anything about it.  Anyone else have any info?

the "super portable electric bike pump" from bolton e-bikes works well - $49.99.

i have used the pump several times in the last few months.

I have this same pump but got it off of Amazon years ago. It works great and I used it on our Rads this past weekend, HOWEVER, it is not quiet when running and I believe the whole neighborhood can hear it running.
