@eaterofjellybeans.  First time, go really slow. Zip the back zippers up before the front ones and just generally slowly push things around until it closes fully the first time. Then put it out in the sunshine for as long as possible. It'll then relax and get easier.

I wonder if these are the tires Rad will be dispatching to effected RW4 owners?

So far so good. 15 days in. About 150 miles. Been taking it easy but gradually getting more confident on them. Quietness, less rolling resistance but equal stability still stands. In addition, they handle wet conditions better and cornering is out of this world different.

Still early days, of course, and I'm using a different cargo bike more at the moment because I want want to be cautious and the kids get colder and wetter on the RW4 as the Conestoga doesn't cover legs (our other cargo is fully enclosed bucket). But, so far, these are proving themselves more than capable.

It also helps that the Speedster is a brand that has been used for years on other bike types (starting I believe with BMX) so I don't feel like I'm using something entirely experimental, which in reality the original tires are.

Could be. Vee state that they are specifically designed  for ebikes and as far as I know there are no other ebikes with 22 inch wheels. So unless the industry as a whole is poised for a major shift, I have to assume they were specifically designed for the Radwagon.

On that Reddit link someone speculates (I think correctly) that even if these are the tires, Radpower will want to add things like a reflective strip and probably their name, so it's more likely to be a variant of these rather than them directly.

Whichever way, its so far so good on my side!

Just noting here that I'm currently having good success running the new Vee 22x3 speedsters on the Radwagon 4.  More details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RadPowerBikes/comments/ys0fp8/rw4_up_and_running_with_vee_speedsters/
