RadWagon / Re: Load Capacity RW4

Thanks Joel. I've seen BGB already. I'm in the UK too so expect I may end up getting the Eggrider V2 to squeeze more power out of the motor and maybe a bigger battery. My use case is quite small. I'm trying to reduce > 3mile car trips by using the RW4. Our kids school is 1.2 miles away but on the other side of a valley so 0.5mile down, 0.2 flat, 0.5 up both ways.

At the moment we drive it which pre Covid wasn't such a big deal as we'd then carry on another 16 miles to work. But now we both work mostly from home. I feel guilty driving it every day. It's too far to walk the kids in terms.of time (45 mins each way) we've done it when we are off work. Riding themselves is not really an option yet as neither are overly competent and there are no cycle paths on the busy road going up to school.

RadWagon / Load Capacity RW4

Hello,

New member, I've just placed an order for an RW4 which should be here in about 5-8weeks all being well with shipping etc.

I've been scrutinizing the specs again and noticed the payload is only 158kg. I weigh about 95kg at the moment (trying to shed some lockdown timber now) my fighting weight is normally about 90kg or just below. I'm planning on taking two kids to school and back on my new bike. They're 8 and 5 and no feather weights.

Should I be worried about overloading the stated payload? Does anyone have any real life experience carrying two kids on one of these?

All the pics I've seen seem to suggest a man and two kids would be fine but now I'm nervous...

I was able to purchase some tubes from them recently, I think early August is when they sent them to me. Funny thing is I don't need them now because I put in the Tannus Armor liners and they use a different tube size. My local bike shop put in the Tannus liners and said they didn't even have to cut them to make them work. If you want to add the liners then the smaller tubes that go with them are available here: https://amzn.to/314KX1l

Do you know what size tannus liners your LBS put in for you?
