     The trip meter ALWAYS automatically resets to ZERO when it shuts off -  even in the middle of a ride when you stop for a rest.  Total mileage does not.    Used means you deal with it for a discounted price so not surprising.  I have had 4 NEW Rads.   All were fine besides one not wanting brake like to work but  had running lights.  Spokes are a maintenance issues, they should have caught that.

I understand that. This is the odometer, not the trip meter.

General Chat / Used RadMini 4 concerns

Hi All,

I recently purchased a radmini 4 preowned, with 30 miles on it. Supposedly the bike was gone through by mechanics before sale, but there are some issues that have me feeling a bit uneasy. I am still inside the return period. I don't want to name the vendor as they have been responsive so far.

There was a sound coming from the rear wheel which I identified as  loose spoke, on closer look there is actually another spoke missing entirely. Shouldn't this have been noticed before sale?

The odometer reset itself after my first or second ride to match the trip odo from my last ride. I understand this problem has been discussed, but I'm a little nervous that the resaler can't actually verify the mileage on the bike and I may have purchased a bike ($1200) with more miles than advertised. Specifically concerned about battery life. There is some minor scratching around the key which leads me to start questioning the mileage.

Curious what other users here think about these issues and any action I should take. Other than these problems and some minor wear and tear, I really really like the bike.
