Agree inoxa, Also check the stretch of the chain, At 220 lbs. I wore out a chain in less than 3000 miles.

You should have no problem selling this RAD, Great shape, lo miles, Hell, If I was closer to Georgia, I would buy it myself.

Quote from: inoxa on May 28, 2024, 01:03:22 PMI have 6000 miles on my chain for a 2020 rover 5.  I've not had a problem with my chain.

Thanks for the reply,
I had to change mine at 3000 miles due to cassette and chain noise and slippage, The chain was definatly stretched, and in need of replacement, I do pedal allot and usually only use Pedal Assist on 1 or 2, ocasionally using PA 3 for going up hills, I also weigh 220 pounds, And with gear on the Radrover the bike weighs about 100 pounds,

Hi All,
I have a Radrover 5 bought in 2021 and need to replace the chain again after 4,500 miles, Rad's website is sold out of them, So I need to go to Amazon, DOES anyone know which one to order for a turn key installation? There is too many for sale for me to find the right one, I would like to get a quality chain since I only replace it every 2 years or so.
Thanks, Paul

PS. Posted this in service and repair and got only 1 response from  inoxa, Thanks for the feedback inoxa.

Quote from: Ryan on April 13, 2024, 12:34:12 PMThe forum hadn't been updated in some time, so it was time to get updated! You'll notice it looks slightly different, but it also operates better on mobile. If you notice any issues post them below. Otherwise, as always I appreciate everyone's support of using our Rad links before you buy (even if it is just an accessory).

We've got a bunch of new Rad content coming on the channel: https://www.youtube.com/ebikeescape

Oh, I see now, It is now unread posts!

Hello Radfriends!  My bike won't turn on.  After turning the key on and pressing the button, the screen will flash on and that is it.  It won't turn on again unless you turn the key off and on again.
I have checked the 5A and 40A fuses and they are intact.
And I can't get any response from Radbikes EU.
HELP!

Yes, Customer Support has been poor lately, Someone will chime in for you soon hopefully,

I thought the lower the TPI the more puncture resistant, And that wire bead was better than the folding tires, Please educate me,
Thanks, Paul

At 3,000 miles I've had my second puncture of my rear Radrunner tire. The first took me months to find because it was a whisker-thin wire.

This was also strange. A quarter inch of wood less than 1mm in diameter, like 20 gauge copper wire. I thought maybe it was the tip of a thorn, which can be very hard and sharp. No this was blunt, and it felt soft, like broom straw. How in the world could it penetrate the tread of a tire?

I find it ironic that the sidewall of the OEM Kendra tire says "puncture resistant casing." The 30 TPI count means low puncture resistance, and the rubber must be especially easy to penetrate.

The green is showing through on the right of the tread. I guess I corner harder on right turns. I've read here about CST Big Boats. Are they the only other option? How are they for puncture resistance?

Depends on the battery you have.  I have a RAD Rover 5.  My manual says 50 - 70 % charge for storage over 2 weeks.

Agree, That's what I do, I have the RadRover 5 also, 2021 model,

I think you are over reacting, If you know how to take care of a bike,  the Rad Bikes are pretty easy. If you do have a warranty issue they may be a little slow, but they will get it resolved.  They had battery issues with their new Rover but have taken care of those,   other than the battery anyone can adjust brakes, seats, shifting mechanics etc.

Thanks Water Doc, The issue is I have all the knowledge, But, I am an older guy and no longer physically able to do repairs, I found 2 shops here in Santa Cruz that would work on my Radrover 5, and they were both terrible mechanics, It was all I could do to fix what they screwed up.

Hi All,
With All the maintenance and warranty issues with on line sales of e-bikes, Rad being one, I am thinking about buying a locally sold e-bike from a brick and mortar business. Only reason being is product support and maintenance work, Any Thoughts?
Thanks, Paul
