I knew about the flaw and still fucked up. It sure made a pretty spark! I did feel like a Class A idiot, but I know this has happened to lots of other people. ![]() I know what you're thinking: "You'd have to be an idiot to put your key in the charging port!"Ĭue dimly lit garage and tired rider and KAPOW, there goes your charging fuse.

My Rad came with a front basket that fits my laptop case perfectly and is big enough for a small grocery run. It's the difference between sucking wind on the uphills and actually enjoying my rides. I can ride in headwinds that would make an un-assisted ride pretty much impossible. My local area is hilly and windy, and my Rad just eats those hills. While it can be used off-road, I would not recommend using it on gnarly singletrack as it is lacking the nimbleness of a mountain bike. What takes 8 minutes in a car takes me about 15 minutes on the RadRover. I use it for my commute to work which is 90% on a dedicated active transportation lanes. Despite its weight, it does handle really well. Once I got used to the pedal assist and the throttle, it was smooth sailing though. If you are shorter than this, I would suggest considering other options purely because the RadRover 6+ is a BIG bike. ![]() I didn't feel like I was in control of the bike.
