    Hi Stan, Thanks for the tips. My new Rad Runner Plus is in transit to me and I find your tips very helpful. Especially the ones about loading the bike into the back of a truck. I am an amputee and got the step thru model rad runner as I think it will help me with my ability to pedal the bike at a decent rate and help save the battery. Keep up the good work!

    Your vids are consistent, good info for any average Joe. My ebike gets here sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks. I'm checking videos to be up to speed with fore-knowledge, cuts down on the learning curve. I'm located more out in the woods so the mishaps can have a more substantial impact on how the day/ride finishes out. I like that you have the 'MacGyver' schtick to your approach. Thanks and keep things going.

    My Rad is hopped up now, so much more fun, true 750 motor, new controller, two 52 v 20amp battery’s, and a DateX 2 regulating the batteries, I can get up to 100 miles now, average speed 35 miles an hour, would be more if I wasn’t such a fat body 6’ 2’’ 285 pounds of fast food and ice cream.😫 one thing I really like about the standard RadRovers, you can get rid of all the stock parts, and have more than enough room to upgrade everything as I did, and I still have upgrade plans, because to me that’s part of the fun, knowing you built it up yourself, it’s really a heavy slow motorcycle now, but so much more 🤩 fun. I like up grading it as much as riding it, my next upgrade will be steel gears.
