Has anyone tried the "Unior Pocket Wheel Truing Tool" on the Rad Wagon (or any of the Rad Bikes for that matter)?  I'm curious if the tip will reach the rim of the rear wheel?

I have the BR35 for my Rad Wagon. My wife has the stock light on her Rad Mini. I can attest to the difference being night and day, literally. I can't really see her light when mine is on so the BR35 often paves the way for both of us :)

My issue with the BR35 is that the low/high beam toggle switch consumes the micro USB port so I can't charge it.  I thought a USB Y cable would enable both charging and toggling between high and low beams, but it doesn't. You can only plug one thing in at a time. Regardless, the light lasts for repeated rides between charges so I'm happy. It's a solid light!

Yep exactly. The controller is mounted upside down to create space. I had to find some longer bolts to make it work.  The bolts slide down from the top, through the polycarbonate plate, through the bike frame and thread into the controller. The plate gives some protection from the rain as well as help with the shape of the net.

Biggest bottle holders I've ever seen - you must get really thirsty on rides.

Nice work!



Yeah man, big bikes = big thirst. A cardboard to-go cup carrier fits under the seat.  One could carry a couple of large sodas or some coffee that way.

That's very nice. Well done!

Is your net self tied? Like macrame? How do you open it up to put stuff in or take it out? I have a RW4 so I'm very interested in learning more. I used a fabric net as a "storage pouch" for the rear compartment on my kayak and that's what I thought your net was originally. It looks more custom made though.

Yes, the net is self tied.  Sure, like macrame.  It's more or less a diamond mesh made with wall knots.

There's no other openings. I just stuff things in under the seat.  So far I've just been stuffing in an extra jacket or my kids lunch box (sometimes both) or coffee as mentioned :)

I made a cargo net for my Rad Wagon 4.  I tried attaching/uploading the pictures but they got rejected.  So I am embedding via Google Photos which might be temporary.  Let me know what you think :)
