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)
Last night I made a few tweaks to the configuration of my #ebike's controller, lowering the speed cap to 26kph and reducing max peak power to around 250W. I also set the throttle to Walk mode, so it only assists up to 6kph, which is OK for getting upstairs.
The old top speed was as much as 32kph under the right (off road) conditions, but I barely managed to get 20km on full power.
This morning I travelled in to work in about the same time, and still have over 75% battery!
Took the #RadRunner out for the first time this year to pop to the shops.
The cargo net, which usually stays clipped into the back passenger pad manage to get tangled up in the rear hub. I only noticed the chain pop off, but it could have locked it up.
Bought a craft knife from the shop across the road and cut it off and tossed it in the bin.
First spin of the year with my daughter on the #RadRunner s. She's a bit nervous on the bike as she didn't get to ride over the winter, but with a few practice runs, she'll be up for longer spins. It's still a bit cooler than I'd like for cycles in regular clothes, but grand for a short pedal to the shops!
La batterie électrique de mon #velotaf #Fatbike #RadRunner ne fonctionnait plus depuis qq jours. Plus rien ne semblait en sortir et impossible de la recharger. Pourtant aucun choc notable, et je la gardais bien au chaud tous les soirs chez moi.
J'ai décidé de l'ouvrir pour vérifier... Et j'ai découvert des traces d'eau dans le compartiment, sur les batteries et dans le barillet lui-même. La récente journée de neige à Paris a eu pour effet de faire passer l'eau à l'intérieur depuis le barillet ?
Managed to get the weekly bits home without needing a euro for the trolley or an extra bag!
First acoustic commute on the new (to me) #brompton this morning, slightly slower than the #RadRunner but very manageable! I've added a couple of lights and my favourite saddle, but I'd like to get grippier flat pedals. First gear doesn't always engage when I'd like, I think I need to adjust the cable tension.

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!
