RadRover E-Bike Add-Ons and Accessories

[@maiso48]

Thanks for the video!! Lots of goodies for the bikes. hope you guys enjoy! and safe riding.

[@TygerBlueEyes]

Cool. I seen one video were the guy mounted an Accessories Bar to the handle bars and then mounted his GoPro and phone to the Accessories Bar. Looked clean.

[@michaelboyle5776]

We are considering the H bar to add on! Trying not to look like the 'Bat bike' is a challenge! Lol!

[@lucnicholson9407]

How did you attach the turn signal to the back rack? I just got one and have been trying to figure out how

[@michaelboyle5776]

We used zip ties around the rack bar. The clamp that it came with didn't fit the bar, so we improvised! Works great!

[@lucnicholson9407]

@@michaelboyle5776 thank you so much

[@greenlantern1174]

The orange rack matches the white bike, but on the black bike yo!

[@HopPinandGo]

Well, 'matches', much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, right? Also, supply and demand meant that orange was the only choice available at the time. Orange also improves visibility out on the road. When you're riding with two small kids, being seen is safe, in our opinion.

I Love the Music on this video :-)

[@RVAmerica]

Love the accessories. We both got new e-bikes and got some good ideas from you! Will be back. Danny and Lynn

[@HopPinandGo]

That's so great! We are so happy we could help! Safe travels!

[@cristopherdawn2275]

Where did you get the extinguisher wire for the tail light?

[@dataresourcesinc2045]

Where did you find the bracket for the light on the handle bars?

[@paulhester8086]

What is a"cap"? Didn't understand and link doesn't work. Had a 2018 Rover but was too tall. I'm 5'7". Need their step thru or a rarer 24" fat bike. Really like that throttle! I slow crashed once with the grip throttle. Good post. Need cap info and if you know of good 24" fat ebikes set up like Rad. Love their front basket too. Thanks.

[@michaelboyle5776]

The cap goes on the battery connection when no battery is installed. It helps prevent corrosion and damage to the connector. Available at 1859nw.com

[@benhardy5298]

When you attached the rear view mirror, you should have first moved the pedal assist buttons over and put the mirror as close to the handle as you could get it. Then you can see better.

[@michaelboyle5776]

Thanks for the tip Ben. If we have any issue seeing, we will definitely make that adjustment.

[@miker6511]

I understand you used zip ties to affix to the rear rack bar, but what did you attach the zip ties to on the back of the signal? The back is flat with no loops or holes where the pole mount slides into.

[@HopPinandGo]

We used the original attachment strap. The strap is against the rear rack frame, horizontally, and the zip ties go around the rear rack frame, holding the strap securely, and it is very solidly in place. It also has a bit of "give" if we were to inadvertently hit it or grab by that part. It is better for the light to shift than to have it break.

[@miker6511]

I didn’t realize the provided strap can be changed to the horizontal position on the backside. I thought it only slides onto the back of the signal in the vertical position for a seat post. Thanks

[@HopPinandGo]

@@miker6511 yep, just open it up and lay it flat...works great!

[@justicecenter]

The rear rack has eyelets on the right side to route the taillight wire back to the connector following the frame parallel with the chain. radpowerbikes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020193353-RadRover-Rear-Rack-Installation-Guide

[@HopPinandGo]

Thanks for the tip! We found another routing that works for our application which now includes a frame mounted U lock that uses those. Good looking out!

[@mogeking56]

Billy Bob this is nice 👍 we need to get one for mama

[@HopPinandGo]

Even after several months, we absolutely still love them!

[@mikeomax8101]

do I need extension cable to move rear light to back rack?

[@HopPinandGo]

Yes you will need an extension. The Rad rack comes with it, but you can buy the extension on its own for use with other brands of racks.

[@Mike-rs6sd]

The throttle lever is awesome what is it and where did you get it?

[@HopPinandGo]

The throttle is from 1859nw.com! The details are in the video description!

[@shaunwhite4487]

@@HopPinandGo Thanks. I did find and ordered with battery covers also. Thanks again

[@noeiras]

Can you please tell me how you attached the turn signal to the rear rack??? I want to buy one of these turn signals to mount on my rear rack, but they are seem to be to attach to the seat post. Thanks.

[@HopPinandGo]

So sorry for the delay in reply!! Mike attached the turn signal to the rack with zip ties!

[@richkleyn]

my wife and I are looking at these, I'm 6 foot 4 inches and she's 5 foot 10 inches tall are we too tall for these?

[@BunkerhillRanch]

The seat settings will handle you both.

[@michaelboyle5776]

Definitely no issue with those heights. I would recommend the step thru for anyone under 6 feet. I also recommend it for anyone with flexibility limitations. The height of the leg over style requires a good karate kick to get the leg up and over! Lol!

[@jimlourie7078]

I have a rad rover and I have a hard time getting on and off as I am a bit to short for it 5ft 7 . I plan on getting the rad rover step through

[@jhardy0786]

Do you have to put the zip ties on the top of the rack

[@HopPinandGo]

I dont think you have to, but I'm super paranoid 😂

[@silverfizzy]

Thanks for the great video, what mirror is that?

[@HopPinandGo]

Sorry I missed this!! The link is in the video description! Amazon is our go-to for most accessories :) but the exact link is in the description of this video :)

[@frankcaprino6372]

Does your Rad Rovers make a lot of noise on paved roads? Some people have commented that the nubby tires make a lot of noise on paved roads.

[@mzmiscellaneous]

Not a lot of noise but yes the big tires make some noise.

[@michaelboyle5776]

It isnt a lot of noise but it is defijitely more than a road bike. It does warn the pedestrians well, though.

[@Ziya88D]

J'aime ce vélo mais il est difficile dans avoir en France 😊🇫🇷

[@R4roger]

Use your hands for turn signals It is the law,,car don't care about small blinky lights .can't see them during sunny days..

[@airpeewee]

how fast will it go?

[@HopPinandGo]

i am too afraid to find out!

[@drizzt109]

Motor cuts out at 20mph. Then it’s whatever you can pedal over that.

[@jonscears]

You can make it go 25mph from the display just hold 2 buttons down then when display comes back on use the up button to go too 25 well its works gives u 5 more mph

[@michaelboyle5776]

25 with the motor, and whatever you can add. We have our two boys' Rads limited to 12mph for safety.

[@manicirishwriter]

20 MPH with Throttle Only, on a flat smooth flat surface anyway, as the US like most Euro countries has that as max. More to keep the Class 1 Bicycle rating, for use on shared/multi-use walking & biking paths, with families and such walking 5 mph. And here you come, silent but for the loud knobbies - messes up my new into content creation audio, actually - coming up behind them at 400% plus of their speed. Which is why I also ding the little bell way out, esp if dogs & kids on bikes rolling left & right. Can be pretty scary to all of a sudden have a huge mass going really fast zio by a few feet away. Also here in Atlanta it’s the law to alert pedestrians that you’re over taking. Also we should all be trying to be respectful co-citizens/ co-humans. Esp since rental e-scooters by the gazillions all over the place, where partying (ie drunk) folks that have never been on a scooter - ain’t simple esp at speed - can rent with an app and zip off first time and at night, on roads etc. I say all that because cities all over are Banning ALL Motorized vehicles in so many places, since so many variations also OneWheels etc. Also here many suburb cities have made biking on sidewalks legal, due to CV19 aspects & more folks riding, most - like Me - aren’t all that keen to be sharing lanes with stressed drivers of unknown attention & abilities, driving multi-Ton vehicles towards me. Anyhoo, I’ve gotten my Mini up to 30.4 MPH on a longer decent hill, although was fairly scary & also a bit unstable. I believe I have a headset issue, though, Also bikes aren’t full suspension, less weight, less serious braking like a motorcycle. I do wish it had an 8th gear since it washes out many times, the pedaling can’t catch up to RPMS of wheel. I used to ride motorcycle but somehow it’s different going fast on a bike; maybe it’s the lighter weight, or the fact that there’s hardly anything under you but cheese-grating asphalt...and I don’t wanna be cheese!😬

while the vid is informative it goes a little too quickly and the descriptions jumping from top to bottom make it difficult to read. had to stop the video and rerun it several times. but thanks.
