*Great **Latest.Bike** . I upgraded the pedals, added fenders and installed a handle bar extension to raise them. Now it’s a pumped out E-Bike. I love it.*
I Love my Rad Rover Step Thru 1 , I am 66 years old bad knees and lower back ,I now have 1800 off road miles on my Bike Problem Free . I Ride 24 miles most days on mountain bike trails .
Great video. Just purchased the 2020 RR5. I live in San Diego county which has BIG hills and mountains. Steep climbs are my normal ride. I'm a long time road biker but I am 74 now and my legs just will not handle the climbs any more. Hence the RR5 which I am hoping will help.
Awesome, I just got an Ebike about a month ago, I bought the Ecotric Hammer they had a coupon for 222.00 off so 1285 bucks which to me was a lot but man, this is fun as hell! So enjoy man!
thank you from France for your honest point of view on this huge bike. it really seems confortable and stable and it is exactly what i'm looking for... i am 5.9 ft tall for 190 lbs..i have a Giant MTB full suspended for sport but i do need a bike like this one to go to work and let the car into the garage...will probably order the "rhino" in black and gray colors in the next few days.... the Rover is not sold in Europe any more. the price is very interesting (1599 € or 1699 $) .will probably add a rear rack and a bottle stand. great video by the way . ;-)
Congratulations and WOW! You made out like a bandit with that price! I've got a RadCity step-thru on order and to be delivered on 11/29/19 and ordered it using their Black Friday/Cyber Monday pricing plus a $50 promotion code.
Hey Loved your video I just bought the Radrover Gen5 2020, and I bought it for the same reason you did, Im gonna eventually change the controller and add a bigger volt batt, and run the motor to death, and then replace. But it sounds like you got a great deal, wish he lived near me. Thanks for the vid, God Bless.
@@ourscamplife5210 awesome brother. Um finally about to pull the trigger and get me one .unfortunatly I missed out the last time I seen two actually used for sale locally here and both were gone the next day .but hey I'll get fenders stock and should be arriving just in time for the snow to fly sometime early November .fyl I heard alit if ice fushing guys like using the fat bikas to get out on the lakes. So im interested to see how they do that as Well. Keep living the dream my friend .
Congrats man. If you’ve never had one you’ll love it! I’ve had this one 3 weeks now and I’ve added more then 70 miles to the bike. I ride this 5 times as much as I drive now
You spoke about the braking issues, I just installed cable actuated hydraulic brakes on my RadRover and OMG it makes a huuuuuuge difference. I can lock up the tires on pavement now. I got a set of TRP HY/RD Check them out
Add jagwire sport 371 brake pads(red) and it will stop you considerably faster then stock! $15 a pair on Amazon. Nice bike. Also Bolton ebikes sells a 750watt motor that is plug and play. $250 you can take guts out install on yours after u steel wool clean and lube existing hub. Only thing is battery don’t know about that one but those two upgrades will make u faster and stop better then 2019 stock. Good luck!
Save your money, and buy a juiced CCX or ripcurrent s. This rad bike leaves a lot desired as far as range, as well as brakes. By the time you upgrade this bike, you'll have more invested in it, than you'd have, if you just level up from the get go.
Fat tires on those bikes and wet pressure treated wood bridges are dangerous because the bike spun out and I went down hard. Wish I could trade my RadRover for a step-through because I have only rode it two times since I bought it in 2019.
Sorry to hear that. I wiped out and went down a bit hard on some ice this winter. I went with a bit less air pressure when I ride in the snow or on slippery roadways and it seemed to help. I say get back on it and Rad on! God Bless.
I own a bunch of bikes 2 ebikes and well it’s probably the same amount of exercise to ride an ebike vs a regular bike. Learn how to shift gears or be like me and start off with a one speed 29 incher. That pretty much feels like an assisted bike.
Good information. This is the 2nd vid of yours that literally stops fubctioning about a minute or 2 in. My tablet gets locked and I have to wait to get the app not responding message before my tablet unlocks. Once i cancel utube and go back into the video the video works. Is there anything in your vid that could do that? Thanks.
Shouldnt be an issue with the videos but may be with the youtube app or the internet connection. This is the first I've heard of this happening. Sorry to hear that it is though. I just watched a couple videos on another device of ours and they worked fine. It may also be the wireless connection on the inside of the tablet if its an older tablet. Hope this helps.
Visit Bolton Ebike webpage - the reason the motor doesn't seem powerful is because of the controller. Yes REALLY! LOL For $200 you can upgrade your controller and display from Bolton and it will drastically improve the performance of your motor. That 750 watt motor will be able to output 1200+ watts. NOT kidding. Check it out man.
The grips are standard on the white Rads. But the seat came with the bike when I bought it used. There is no name brand anywhere I can find. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
@@ourscamplife5210 Thanks, I ordered the RadRover 5 backordered for August delivery. I found something similar on RadPower's site. Thank for the reply.
It can "do it all"? The things people say when they want attention. Can it carry 40 lbs. of front panniers? Can it generate power for USB electronics while moving? Does it have a rear suspension? Does it have a motor than puts all the power into the chain... where it's designed to be? Can it carry over 40 lbs. of panniers on the weak bolt-on rear rack? Does it have an adjustable stem so you can dial in rider position, or better change position when you want? Does it have a Rohloff Speed-hub? Does it have fenders that actually work... no, no it doesn't. Does it have a 30Ah lithium pack so you don't have to burn the battery up ride after ride? Can you ride more than 90 miles on a single battery? The Rover is good for one thing and one thing only, it's cheap. Inexpensive because it's cheaply built. You get what you pay for but if you thin 50 miles in a couple months is good then the Rover is perfect for you. This is the opposite end of the spectrum. - photos.google.com/search/_tv_Videos/photo/AF1QipM9KAiyrP_8SG5X9Lft96wz08WWszBGt-7ck8fL

I had the 2016 Rad Rover, I now have over 7000 miles on this bike....For the money it's one of the best buys on the Mkt...
I have the rad rover and it is the best e-bike. It’s very efficient and it gets good mileage

I am 4'11" and I ride mine just fine. I have the 2017 model as well purchased used.

Great video! Love you enthusiasm, honesty and rad Rad ...!
I'm just a little smaller than u only because I have a rad. I put 2000 miles on my bike just this summer. You'll love it...
I already do! this is great I've put 50 miles on it in a week! Thats probably what I've biked in my whole life.
Keep it up, well worth the effort.
Het I live in Minnesnowta,haha
I've been wondering how these things do in the snow .Rad offers way more for the money . fron what I see .
It is great I put out another video where I show it in the snow. I rode mine all last winter and plan to ride it this year as well.
@@ourscamplife5210 awesome brother.

I'm going to check out that maker! I like the big tires which should do great on dirt roads.
You will love it on dirt roads and dirt trails. Ride safe.
Getting a 2019 in a few days, can't wait.
Congrats man. If you’ve never had one you’ll love it! I’ve had this one 3 weeks now and I’ve added more then 70 miles to the bike. I ride this 5 times as much as I drive now
Hit 700 miles on my 2019 today. Bought it in Oct 2019 - Not a single issue with it.
I like your new toy. One of my customer have one electric bike, he ride it downtown. It wasn't nice as your .
You spoke about the braking issues, I just installed cable actuated hydraulic brakes on my RadRover and OMG it makes a huuuuuuge difference. I can lock up the tires on pavement now.
I got a set of TRP HY/RD
Check them out
Thanks I will
I have the 2019 model. I think the 2020 models come with the fenders now. I wish they kept the water bottle holder like yours have.
I've heard that too about the fenders and many people wishing they had kept the water bottle mounts also.
Add jagwire sport 371 brake pads(red) and it will stop you considerably faster then stock! $15 a pair on Amazon. Nice bike.

Only thing is battery don’t know about that one but those two upgrades will make u faster and stop better then 2019 stock. Good luck!
Thank you I'll have to look into those things for sure.
Height of the person does not mean their inseam is the same, some people have longer or shorter legs or torso. Rad does show how to measure your body.
Gr8 video, I'm a big guy too. Not a big choice ebike here in Australia and very expensive too 😣
Sorry to hear that man. If you can get your hands on one for a good price buy it! Happy trails
New sub btw glad I found your channel you guys are cool
Thank you for the Sub! :)

how is the rad bike holding up?
Really well! Still rides as well as when I bought it.
Where can you purchase that seat and grips?
The grips are standard on the white Rads. But the seat came with the bike when I bought it used. There is no name brand anywhere I can find. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
