My #DadRunner adventure is on hold.
The CSPC in the US have warned against using the batteries: https://www.cpsc.gov/Warnings/2026/CPSC-Warns-Consumers-to-Immediately-Stop-Using-Batteries-for-E-Bikes-from-Rad-Power-Bikes-Due-to-Fire-Hazard-Risk-of-Serious-Injury-or-Death
I've got 2 of these #ebikes I think I'll have to source aftermarket batteries instead (and I know there's no guarantee they'll be any safer)
Came off the #ebike in the slowest, least dramatic way this morning, wet tarmac in the business park I cut through to get to the office.
Glad of my helmet and heavy jacket though!
That first step you make when you get up and everything still works is a relief!
After seeing my buddy commute on a bike yesterday (while I was in the car), I decided to get mine out this morning while the weather’s still halfway decent. I forgot to charge the battery, so started with about 75%, arrived at work with under 20%, and now I’ve got a fine dose of range anxiety for the ride home! 😀 I've cycled the #RadRunner with a flat battery before—it’s no lightweight!

Great morning for it though!
