RadRover / Re: Just ordered a RadRover 6 plus
July 09, 2022, 09:16:21 AM
Welcome to the club.  My wife and I both have the radrover 6+.  They are a lot of fun.  I bought a set of hex head tools and a pedal wrench.  The bike does ship with all the tools needed to assemble though. 

When I assembled the bike, I had rubbing on the front brake.  I contacted Rad and they approved 1 hour of labor at a local bike shop.  Turns out the rotor was slightly warped.

We got a kryptonite folding lock.  Kryptonite isn?t the highest rated but for $35 I purchased the protection plan through kryptonite and they insure my bike for $1700 if it gets stolen using their lock.

As for accessories, we are looking into mirrors and seat post suspensions.

I also recommend taking pictures of your frame serial number and battery serial number.


Enjoy

Hello,

My wife and I are looking at ordering 2 x radrover 6+ bikes.  We want a rack with a ramp.  I've only found a few that have the weight rating.
Option 1) Hollywood destination Ebike (70 lbs per bike)

Has anyone used this bike and can tell me how sturdy and secure the bikes are?  The company has a video that shows using a cargo strap to secure the bikes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX8lTvm2ysA

Option 2) Thule easy fold (it rated capacity is 65 lbs per bike)

Option 3) Yakima on-ramp (weight rating 66 lbs per bike)

I would love some feedback and recommendations on racks.

Thanks
