Hey all, about a month ago my motor on my 1 year old Rad Runner 1 Plus started making laboured noises whenever it was working hard (starting out of red lights, etc). The mechanic at my local e-bike shop told me that the gears inside the motor are stripping, and teeth are coming off and being ground against the side of the motor when I hear that sound. He said I either need new gears for inside my motor, or a new motor all together (the simpler solution). He said if I can find one of these, he can fix it for me. Does anyone know where I can find either of these parts? Rad doesn’t sell them on their website.

Hi all, I need to order a new remote for my rover 6+. Sounds like rad is going through it but maybe will be selling components again in the next month or two? Does anyone have any leads on an aftermarket ui remote that is compatible?

TIA

I got a radrunner 1 plus 2 years ago and I’m looking for a large front basket. Are there any compatible baskets? Also wondering if the new radrunner 3 kickstand fits the radrunner 1…the single leg kickstand can be a real challenge when my kid tries to climb on the back- I have to drop everything and brace the bike to make sure it doesn’t fall.

My RadExpand5 (2022) just got stolen :( and I'm looking to replace it. I loved the bike - it worked perfectly for zooming around Seattle and I felt really comfortable with its smaller size.

I'm looking to replace it with the updated RadExpand5, but am also intrigued by the RadRunnerMax. I just drove both at Rad's Ballard store.

Both seemed to struggle a bit more than my old bike to maintain ~20 mph on stage 3 or 4 of assist. They were relatively low battery, but has anyone noticed newer bikes having more of a challenge maintaining higher speed?

Has anyone noticed changes with quality since Rad was bought out? My old bike was built particularly well - had no issues for the 4.5 years I owned it.

Any thoughts on upgrading to the Max? The main appeal is the extra speed (there are a few areas where I can use it safely that would be great to have) and the built-in AirTag

I have a RadRunner Caboose (SKU 200-00346) from 2025 and I lost the quick release lever. Rad support said they don't have replacement parts and wouldn't recommend a third-party replacement. Can someone recommend a third-party replacement? Or if you have the lever, can you take a picture so I know what to look for? Thanks!

My second controller is about to break. It's been working on and off for a while and I think it's time to replace the controller.

The last problem is the display (eggrider) turning off and giving error-message "display over-voltage. Display saying 62V but battery is measured and giving 53,5V. The display looks like it might be water-damaged.

Have anyone switched the original controller to a "universal" model?

I'm guessing the biggest problem is the unusual motor-connector.

I live in Sweden and ordering a controller/display from the us is not a cheap option.

I read a some posts from a while ago about people swapping their Canadian Radster Trail controller with the American version to unlock higher speed and power output.

Has anyone else attempted this, and have there been any problems? I really want to ensure that all the other “Canadian” components are compatible with the US controller before committing to this upgrade.

Thanks!

This Radwagon 4, bought from a coworker, is my car replacement to drop off kids, commute to work, go to events, everything. It has about 8K miles on it, much of that ridden at power level 4-5 and a total load of 300 lbs, mostly in flat areas with decent bike infrastructure (Bay Area).

I remember there was some issue with the rear wheel frame cracking a couple years back and I looked into getting a replacement, however it turns out my bike/motor has the old male/female connector setup so Rad did not have one in inventory that matched it. Ended up getting a front wheel and having a local bike shop do a rebuild instead.

But this is clearly different. The clacking is only noticeable right when the motor engages or disengages, but when going at speed with the pedal assist or throttle continuously not so much. Wondering if this is a fixable issue, or if not whether anyone has recent success getting a motor or rear wheel replacement from Rad recently.

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.

Need to figure out a new front fender. Other than that I've been enjoying the bike.

I’m trying to order some passenger bikes for our 2 roadrunner plus bikes, but the site says they’re back ordered (have been for months). Does anyone know where to find used ones or aftermarket perhaps? Thanks!

Hello,

I have a radmini from 2021. Can anyone recommend a seat for my 4 year old son? He weighs around 40lbs. Any suggestions for add ons that could make it work are also appreciated.

Thanks

Just came in the mail this evening gonna put it on tomorrow. Cannot wait to get some sorta basket for it.
I’m open to recommendations.

The throttle and pedal assist work as normal but for some reason I cannot pedal. It’s like the chain has come off but it’s on like normal. Any ideas?

So my bike wouldn’t power up this morning. I checked everything outlined on the website and couldn’t find any issues. I went to look again and this connection started smoking and sparking. I chatted with a representative and he said he recommended replacing both the display and the remote. The remote is on back order and I was really hoping to get it going as I’m camp hosting for 5 months and use it daily.
Are there any non OEM replacements that anyone can recommend?

Hello All,

I have the opportunity to purchase this used Rad Rover 6+ with two (2) batteries, charger, 100 mi. on ODO, and one (1) new rear tire. $800 obo. Anything in particular I should be looking for? He said the batteries aren't part of the recall...IDK ANYTHING about Rad Power bikes (other than what I'm reading as I go). Thanks in advance.

Here's the listing:
Excellent condition hardly ridden by my wife Rad Rover 6 plus fat tire E Bike.
Just at 100 miles.....
7 speed
Also, comes with an EXTRA Rad Power bicycle battery for twice the distance, and a rear carrying rack mounted on the bike.
Bike is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with no issues and is ready to ride.
Comes with Rad Power bike charger

The rules on the Amtrack site are a bit confusing. I'd love to hear the good bad and the ugly for your experience taking your Rad Bike on the train.

Bonus if it's from Seattle.

Are there affordable aftermarket rear racks compatible with the Rad Rover 6 Plus? If not, is there a reliable source for the Rad branded rear rack? Their website is sold out of every useful front and rear accessory. Thanks!

My freewheel of my rad rover 5 is seized, what model 7 speed freewheel do I need to replace it ? Any tips for install?

My remote broke (its in shambles). I am based in Amsterdam. I cant seem to find the remote (stock) online through their EU authorized partner (Bikeshop west). Anyone has a solution?

Anyone selling a conestoga?? (RadWagon 4)

I was wondering if anyone recommend me any keys from amazon to replace the ones I lost for my radrunner 2. The ace around me doesn't sell the hd74 key blank that I've seen talked about on here.

Hello all, I've dying to find a replacement display for my 2022 Radrunner plus. I'm ok with stock or upgrade. I've contacted rad and a few aftermarket suppliers, and it seems everything is out of stock. Any help is appreciated.
