Hi there! I wish to carry my miniature schnauzer dog at the front of the bike. Rad does not recommend this however do you have a fix for this please???

[@hazelolcott7796]

My toggle to keep the bike latch from unlatching was put in by the company upside down so I had to take it off and put it in correctly and the spring inside broke...ive called the company several times to get the part Chloe said she found d the part at the Brooklyn store I waited nothing I called again to be told its on backorder...im chasing a part that I'm never being g told when I'll get the part just keep getting a ring around

[@RaviUpadhyay151]

An question - Which foldable electric bike, I should buy? Purpose of buying electric bike is practicality, travel in public transport + bike or carry in the car. I am from Europe, Rad Expand 5 is now available but if you can help me to decide, will be of great help.

[@jamesdumas6602]

Does anyone know a replacement Front Suspension Front Forks to replace the stock rigid forks?

[@lizvickers7156]

Too much going on now on the handlebars. I just like the minimal look. A mirror maybe but nothing else.

[@carlosmojica5621]

In your review of mirrors you recommended a “ Hafny E13 Approved E-Bike Mirror, Large Surface Bar End Bike Mirror” and after purchasing the mirror for my new Radexpand 5, it did not fit the handle bar, spent over an hour shaving it and sanding down to fit, I thought it was just a slight sanding but not so.

[@EbikeEscape]

Are you sure you didn't forget to remove the outside piece for narrower handlebars?

[@bobwilson6875]

Hi Ryan, Bob and Donna from Prince Edward Island, Canada. We enjoy your videos, very informative so thanks for that. We just purchased the radexpand5 for each of us..we are loving them! Just wondering, out of the saddles you recommended can they be used with the stock seat post? Nice neon jacket by the way. 👍 thanks

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes they can!

[@supersighlas]

Can a kids seat fit on the back of this bike?

[@EbikeEscape]

No they can't

[@darylrozendal7362]

Want to wheel your folded RadExpand 5 into your house or an apartment in a container to keep the floors clean? A Craftsman X-Large 50 Gal. Storage Container CMXXPBP50GTW, Lowe's Item #835743 is just the right size.

[@luccionnawashington3818]

Can you show how to lock this bike specifically? I got the abus bordo 110cm folding lock but I’m not sure what else would work???

[@EbikeEscape]

Ideally, you do the rear wheel and the frame to the bike rack and then have a separate lock for the front wheel. Whether you have enough slack with the Bordo to do so is another question. Sometimes these frames are tricky. You may also want to consider the motion alarm.

[@Swiftrunjrt]

Hi Just out of curiosity can the large basket from Rad Power be made installed on the rear rack of the Expand 5 without turning the sideways? I have the small basket installed currently but want to switch it out for the larger basket. I want to keep the same orientation as the small basket. Thanks Bob

[@owenoiffer]

Does your Rad discount code work in Canada? Have you tried installing the LCD display upgrade

[@colinwatkins2950]

i purchased a suntour suspension seatpost 4 years ago.i haven't done any work on it or cleaned it but i have recently bought a cover for it and to this day it still functions perfectly.great for the price £65 im from the uk

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks for sharing!

[@patriceboulais3157]

I Ryan I from Canada they have here the rad expend with a 500watts In US red offer the too Do you think it’s made a big difference ?

[@finnwilder3858]

I already ordered the bike I was wondering how to know what size grips to get since they come in large and small?

[@EbikeEscape]

Hi Finn, the sizes are actually how large the grip is so both will work. Likely if you have larger hands you'd prefer the larger ones.

[@josephdimas4658]

Do you have a video that shows which bike is best for a certain accessory? For example: which bike will allow me to mount a rear basket lengthwise and not widthwise.

[@folkmaster101]

Very good informative video, the one I never knew existed was the auto tire inflator . Never saw that before. My main concern is bike security. Several hundred are stolen here every month and the police are not interested in your reporting of the theft.

[@richardvanbenschotenc9455]

Enjoy your videos. If you were to buy an ebike would you choose a Iectric 2.0 or a rad expand 5 .

[@rventurenes2277]

why will you spend $1500 for ebike no LCD display no front suspension.

[@EbikeEscape]

It would be nice if they included the LCD screen.

[@sgrant9814]

I am surprised you did not include the optional lcd display in this review

[@eveningchaos1]

With limited space, I will need a folding bike. I also have a 4 year old so I need a child seat. Is there any child seat that is compatible with this bike? Thanks.

[@EbikeEscape]

Hi Dan, I can't say for certain but I imagine the challenge is going to be the same. There just isn't enough space to avoid clipping the feet of the child or the childseat itself. You'd need something with a rack that isn't so low. Maybe the Espin Nesta? Or possibly a different ebike like the Aventon Sinch with a 3rd party rack. Not sure exactly. You could ask on the Rad owners forum too: radowners.com

[@goosty17]

Can this bike fit inside a toyota corolla trunk?

[@f00zh]

All of the accessories cost more than the bike, oh snap! 👾🚲

[@dereksloan5677]

What size is the seat post hole, and does suntour sell a 450 mm seat post length ?

[@EbikeEscape]

Should be 27.2 but verify!

[@AJ4Dead]

what is that phone mount?

Where do you mount a LOCK on a Rad Expand 5???

[@EbikeEscape]

I mounted one to the side of the rear basket. I think you could also mount one behind the seat post, where the battery is usually located. -JT

[@annwilkens2066]

is there a bike lock you recommend?

[@EbikeEscape]

Depends where you live. I did multiple interviews with someone from Kryptonite. Generally, I like the name brands, Kryptonite, ABUS. Even the Foldylocks are decent. Go with a high quality chain lock or folding lock if at all possible. We plan to do share more on locks in the future.

[@annwilkens2066]

@@EbikeEscape thanks! I got the Abus mega 1/2" chain. Just assembled my radcity 5 plus yesterday.

[@annwilkens2066]

@@EbikeEscape I'm in Madison. Not too far from you! I watched the kryptonite interview too. Thanks for doing that.

[@ryanbennett8086]

Does the Thule Yepp Maxi Rack mounted child seat fit on this Radexpand 5 ?

[@EbikeEscape]

Technically yes but it's not recommended by Rad. The problem is your feet come in contact with the seat much easier.

[@alward54]

Do you need to buy the Ergon grips or similar in order to attach the Hafny mirror shown in your video or will it work with the existing grips that came with the bike. I'm waiting for mine to ship so I can't check out to see if this would work.

[@EbikeEscape]

They will work with the stock grips. Thanks for watching!

[@alward54]

@@EbikeEscape Thank you so much for your quick reply. Love that mirror so I may have to upgrade the grips...

thanks for sharing! i didn't even know bike alarms were a thing! :D

Glad we could show you something new!

[@dilzila1]

Great bike and seller.

[@Swiftrunjrt]

Great video 👌🏼

[@chelseakelly-reif2717]

Great video! Do you have any recommendations for bags/cases to carry the bike?

[@EbikeEscape]

Hi Chelsea - Yes! I forgot to include our infamous tote we use for folding ebikes. Check out our full RadExpand review where I share what we've been using. It's towards the end of the walkaround. Thanks for watching!

[@TinaElee-gk4wh]

I like your bike and extras . I would like it if you would put a phone number to get an order in.. I would like to know if your company does any financing as well.Thank you for all the information.

[@EbikeEscape]

Hi Tina, you'll have to check Rad's website for financing options (link in description).

[@yanivelkaras1661]

Thanks for video. 1 thing people need to remember is once you start adding g bigger accessories, the bike gets bigger when folded. Pretty sure bike can fit in a 55 gallon storage bin when folded.

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes exactly! I fold it into a storage bin in our full review.

[@yanivelkaras1661]

@@EbikeEscape which review is that? I'm currently looking for a bin.

[@peterfernandezjr5914]

Is this the same size as the Rad mini, which it replaces?

[@EbikeEscape]

Extremely similar - the dimensions are on their site if you want to really dig in and compare.

[@kevinhiggenbottom8339]

Does this come with a bottle water holder

[@EbikeEscape]

It does not.

[@forgetyourlife]

I asked during the unboxing if the rims were different and you said no. However as the weeks go by they sure look different to me. Wider, ridged shape instead of convex and the spokes are farther apart. You gotta take off a tire and see if RAD snuck in single wall instead of double wall construction like they should be.
