Thanks for the response.  I can buy another battery for my Rad Rover 5 but the Himiway bike (Zebra) has hdralic brakes, better motor, more torque, a battery range of 80 miles which is built into the frame in a much better design and is only $1499 right now. It seems like it's a no brainer and I am hoping that Rad knows that and a new model from Rad will be competitive.

New Model Rad Rover

Any indication of when a new model will be released. I would like to replace my Rad Rover 5 with a new bike with much longer range. I am thinking about the Himiway Zebra with a much better battery (up to 80 miles) but would like to see what Rad will offer first.

I own a Rad Rover 5+ purchased new in 2019 with 6,000 miles on it. I am interested in knowing when a new model Rover will be realeased. I want a bike with a longer battery range than the 45 mile range I get on mine now. I will probably switch to a Himiway Zerbra if Rad is not coming out with a new model soon. Any information on when a new Rover model will be released will be most appreciated.

I recently had the same problem, display went blank and power lost to the bike. I had it diagnosed at a shop and found the LCD display required replacement. You can't assume your problem is the display, it will need to be test to find out which component is the problem.

Display suddenly went blank and Rad Rover 5 lost power. Shop diagnosed need for new display. Installed Rad display, however, the new one only have 4 pedal assist levels instead of 5. Problem: Pedal assist 2 feels like 3 or even 4 on the original display, it is way to fast. Has this been a problem for anyone? Is there a remedy?

Those of you that have a RadRover 5 know that in the settings for the display is a setting for speed that can be set to prevent the motor fromcutting out at 20 mph. Initially, when I first rode my bike the motot would cut out around close to 20 mph which was just a bit annoying. I adjusted the display setting and now the motor does not cut out at 23-24 mph which is the fastest I have ridden the bike since. It seems like a little thing but its not. Just that 3 or 4 mph is about all I ever need. Before, when the engine cut out at 20 mph or even a little shy of that, I didn't like the limit. So far, it sounds like the setting that allowed the speed change may have been eliminated in the new model. If anyone knows for sure, please post.

I live in San Diego county, I recently tested the RadRover 6 Plus on the trail along the coast at Mission Beach. I own a RadRover 5. My impression is limited by the relatively level trail which did not allow me to test the hill climbing ability. However, I rarely, if ever, need more hill climbing power even living near the coast in an area where the coastal hill roads and trails are the norm. I felt that the motor gearing is not as well integrated as on the 5 model, it was noticable to me. The 5 motor gearing is as smooth and silk. I don't like the elimination of the USB port and I don't like the dual display at all. The small display is almost impossible to see in the bright sunlight (it seems to have a dark coating). I don't want to look at two different displays, and do not need any more information, but not being able to see it in the sunlight is a deal breaker for me. I do like the more precise battery indicator, however, I ride my bike 20-30 miles every day and the battery indicator always shows more than half power when I get home so there is really never a reason to care about the reading, the battery is never going to run out in the course of a day. I do pedal most of the time and use pedal assist 1 and 2 mostly and 3 for faster speed. Peddling and conservative pedal assist conserves battery power but still it is unlikely that you will ever use all the battery power in a day's ride unless perhaps you are on the throttle all the time. The hydraulic brakes are effective but so are the disc brakes and will stop the bike the same. The over all feel of the bike int terms of maneuverability and ride is the same. I didn't find anyting compelling about the new 6 Plus, when considering the additional $300 price, which is a testament to the RadRover 5. If both were the same price I would probably buy the 6, however, I don't think I would pay $300 more for the 6 if  the 5 was still available. Either way, Rad bikes are awesome, the service is what it should be and more and you can't go wrong with either modle. If you don't already have a Rad then the 6 Plus has to be bought, it will put a smile on your face the first time you get out onto a trail.
