I used this one: SR Suntour SP12 NCX Seat Post 27.2X400mm

It fits my Radexpand 5 Plus and really makes a nice difference. I don't have a trunk bag so can't respond to that. I do know it deflects a pretty small amount fore and aft.

Quote from: JBDLWB8 on October 18, 2024, 10:45:56 AMThe sticker which says 500w is covering a sticker that says 750w.

where was the sticker? On my City5+ there's one on the frame but I never peeled it off to reveal what is underneath. I'm just curious if that's what you meant. I thought maybe there's another one on the motor itself.

For me I am content with the speed but I wouldn't mind unlocking it if it would gain me a bit more climbing power.

I maybe wrong in this assumptions but it seemed the general consensus is that upgrading to a third party controller is the answer.

In regards to unlocking, there used to be a video but it was taken down by the owner of the forum. I found one on YT but never tested it. Use the keyword "How To Increase Top Speed on Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6+Rad, City 5 Plus, and RadRunner 3"

The sticker was on the frame. under seat infront of tire.

The speed is fine for me, but I wouldnt mind more climbing power as well.

I found out that a USA rad store can flash my controller to take control of the full 750W. I live on the boarder near seattle so I'll head down and give it a try

Has anyone changed their seat post for a suspension post? Any recommendations?  I've been looking at the Suntour, but the Kinekt looks nice too.  Any problems with the seat hitting the trunk bag behind it?

I bought a Mirrcycle at a local brick & mortar bike shop to mount on the left end of my handlebar a few months ago and was a bit concerned about how durable it was if you hit it with, say, a door frame or if the bike fell over onto it. Not so much the adjustable arm, but the joint where the arm fastens to the immoveable end plug.

Today I misjudged the height of the edge of the pavement from the gravel shoulder and when I tried to steer back onto the pavement the front wheel did not climb up and I ended up laying on my left side. (I should've tried a low-speed bunny-hop.) Thankfully it was a rural back road and there were no trucks or cars following me. My wife was following me on her bike though, and I was a bit surprised at how well she took it.

Anyhow, the Mirrcycle handlebar plug took the brunt of the fall and got dragged along the asphalt a few inches at least. Once I picked it up and got seated again I just realigned the mirror and all was well. I couldn't even find a scratch anywhere on the Mirrcycle.

So, 10/10 for Mirrcycle durability.

In fact, it made out better them me, because when I got home I found that I lost a two-inch patch of skin below my left kneecap, even under my denim jeans. I will spare y'all the gory road rash photo. After cleaning that up (mostly with hydrogen peroxide) I had the presence of mind to go lightly over the general area with some electric hair clippers before applying the gauze pad and tape.

I have a 18 and 23 Radcity step thru with no front basket.  Always disliked how the standard light would always fall forward or back with almost every ride.  I added a handlebar extender for both ebikes for an AUX light with separate battery:

I added Niterider Pro 1800 with a 4 cell battery (battery attached with Velcro straps on step thru downtube).  I went with the Niterider brand because we like to hike, easy to X-fer to another bike, bike helmet attachment, and head strap attachment for camping.  Used a few times when we had power outages around the house.

I use this timer on all of my chargers (bike, power tools, lawnmower battery) to limit the amount of time the charger is on.



It's main feature is that it's a countdown timer. Once it times out, it does not repeat the next day, which makes it very different from a regular lighting timer.

If I forget about it for a few days (or weeks), no harm done.

Still for sale?  Will u ship to w.palm beach?

Amazon has them. Make sure you pick the right pins/colours

Just added a stem riser on my 6+ and the cables are too tight when turning right. Are cables extenders available?
