Headlights on my Rad Rover 6 with 136 miles on it quit working.  The tail light has a very dim blink, but the brake lights work.  Checked all the connections and they seem fine.  When I turn the lights on via the controller, the light indicator comes on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I searched the forum clear back to 2022 and didn't see anything.

It was the Pro Bike Tool cover, extra large, travel version.  Available on Amazon and elsewhere.  Well made and the right size for the Rad Rover.

I'm surprised to see so little in the way of comments on this topic. Just bought a Rover 6+ to keep active outdoors through the winter here in New Hampshire, but I'm concerned about transporting it on my hitch rack and riding on the road (to and from the rail trail) with salt on the road. It seems the Pro Bike Tool covers (and others) are open on the bottom. Doesn't that let road salt spray up and onto the bike? Any solutions (no pun intended) from folks in cold climate with road salt?  Thanks!

New to the forum.  I too am going to haul our Rover 6's, both from the rear of our pickup, but also from the front when towing our travel trailer, and concerned about exposing the components to the elements.  I cannot use a bike cover when towing the trailer due to the potential of overheating.  I ordered the battery terminal plugs from Rad but was surprised to see that they don't offer any other protection.  I plan on using plastic bags and zip ties over the control panel and display but I'm not sure what I'm going to do to protect the motor.  I might experiment with some kind of waterproof material similar to that used for lightweight fishing waders.  My wife is a pretty good seamstress and perhaps we can fashion something that would cover the motor.  Stay tuned.
