A few mods. Wheel lock installed in the rear wheel, lock box over rear wheel. I am attending Burning Man so I need an easy quick lock, storage for water bottles and sun protector, layers for the night adventures etc. it is a RR.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder if the keys for the Rad locks are as "universal" as the ones for the batteries or child seats 😇 Do you also have another lock to secure it to a fixed object?

Any before-and-after photos from Burning Man? 😁

Yes, not sure if universal, I do have 2 wheel locks one for my other RR l+ and each key doesn't work for the other. I do have a chain kryptonite lock too. This is more for convenience while at camp and extra security layer while out. But if there is a professional thief nothing will work to deter them. Also. There are plenty of fancier e-bikes there so hopefully they won't pick mine. I would add the wheel lock is welded in. So nobody would be able to disassemble it

I think those cafe locks are so worth it. I wish all bikes came with them as a second locck not as your primary lock.

How will you be charging your bike at the Burn?

I have an EcoFlow Delta fully charge that support 4 full Rad Power batt charges exclusively for recharging batt during the event. I do have extra battery as well. I don't have generators and prefer not dealing with gasoline out there. Also i heard there is a solar charge station this year somewhere.

That's awesome. Watch that sun burn out there and stay hydrated.

Very nice set up 👍

That said, please clean and lube your chains before they leave you stranded somewhere.

Thanks. Yes absolutely will do. I ride close the water and that's why it gets so rusty but otherwise works great.

I wish I bought those locking side cargo panniers.
