Today marks hopefully the final chapter in a journey through #RadPowerBikes customer support.
- Late November, lights fail on my #RadWagon4. When front light is disconnected, back light works, but front is borked regardless.
- "Looks like a controller issue."
"You certain?"
"Oh yes, we'll send you one."- Two months pass, it arrives. Install it. Nope. Still borked.
- "It's not the controller. Can you send a replacement light?"
"We could, but it's out of stock. We'll send it once it's back." -
Something I should've done soon as I got my Radwagon 4, but today the Bike Register kit arrived.
I'm not sure how effective it may be, should the bike ever get stolen, but can't say I don't take precautions.

#RadWagon4 #RadPowerBikes
Few months ago, my front light crapped out. Discovered that when it's plugged in, the rear light don't work either, but soon as it's unplugged, rear light works again.I emailed support, and they said it was a controller issue. So after two long months, I finally received a replacement controller.
Just spent an hour unplugging, plugging in, testing, unplugging, plugging in again, etc. 3 times just to make sure.
Lo and behold... it's not the controller.

Today has felt productive.
Gave my bike a proper wash down getting the worst of the winter gunk off. It'll need it again before summer.But also degreased and oiled the chain, cleaned the battery cradle, and replaced the brake pads.
Feels good, man.

Managed to unleash the full power of my #RadWagon4 today.
Dry surface, low wind, long (private) road.
Topped out at 26mph.
That might not sound like a lot, but remember this is a longtail cargo bike.
Suffice to say, I'm happy.

Progress report with my #Radwagon4 :
Just installed the Eggrider V2, gonna 3D print a wee little hood for it.
Haven't done a test run yet as it's raining outside, but did get a large enough bicycle cover (No shed or indoor storage I'm afraid) so now it's at least protected from the rain and I don't get a wet bum at the start.I do believe however it's time to prep for a big maintenance job. Needs a good clean, brake pads and cables checking, etc.

After weighing costs and future upgrades and all that, decided to purchase an Eggrider V2.
Supposedly, the UK version of the #Radwagon4 has a 500w motor, but is restricted to 250w.
I'd originally been thinking of upgrading the motor, but if that's what is in there already, I'll hold off for now and just unlock what I have.
