RadRunner Plus Assembly Instructions | Rad Tech

- Follow these instructions to assemble the RadRunner Plus electric utility bike. Be sure to perform all safety checks in the owner’s manual including a handlebar twist test, ensuring the front wheel is properly secured, and all parts are tightened and torqued properly.
Depending on when your bike was manufactured, you might still receive an ebike with a quick release axle, in which case use the instruction found in this video and your owners manual. If you received an ebike with a bolt-on axle, follow the installation steps in the link below, in place of the front wheel installation steps described in the assembly video and your Owner’s Manual. All ebikes come with Quick Release skewer to secure the fork protector plate during shipping, but it will not be required for assembly if you have a bolt-on axle.
This link will also help you determine which type of axle is on your front wheel if you are unsure: support.radpowerbikes.com/Mai...
Some RadRunner Plus ebikes come with the passenger seat not yet installed on the rear rack. If your RadRunner Plus came packaged that way, follow the directions in the RadRunner Passenger Package Installation Guide to install your passenger seat. You can skip the steps for installing the foot pegs and the wheel skirts, which come pre-installed on your RadRunner Plus.

It would be nice if you supplied a little tube of grease.
Thank YOU! I did it!! With your step by step guidance that is.... Ready to Rad On!
Hey Linda! So glad to hear you got through the assembly! Have a blast on your rides. 😊🙌
Please consider having this model in other color in the future! I am torn between the Runner1 and this in terms of value, but the silver is kinda holding me back😩
The silver is sick with the middle console it looks like one of those old school cafe racers
I agree, silver makes it look like a grandma bike
The original Radrunner in black looks better and all the accessories look better on it because they are all black also
Just got mine, silver looks excellent in person.
@@versatyledc all black is cringe and overrated
You guys are the BEST! Thanks
Great video. I'm glad so many of the accessories like the back fender will come pre-installed. Too bad the RadRunner Plus won't have the double kickstand however (due to clearance for the added gears). I'm awaiting two of these scheduled for October.
We have twin RR+ on the way, also in October. Also in the market for saddlebags, but can't make a decision till the bikes get here. Anyone out there in RadWorld have saddlebags on their RR+? Pics if possible.
Not much talk about the battery - first charge etc. but in the manual it suggests you are good for a test ride on delivery then you must be strict about a 12-hour charge.. it wasn't made obvious during the unboxing and build tho so thought I'd mention it.
Just assembled mine, excellent video
Awesome! Happy riding 👏
Thanks for making this video, much more helpful to me than just the booklet. However I wanted to point out that the bolt to adjust where the headlight points is smaller than the 8 wrench you say to use. I did just get my bike in Oct of 2022, so idk if maybe parts have changed.
Will you guys have the front suspension available in your store for upgrading my original radrunner? Not too keen on bikes so not sure if I'm better off looking for third party choices
Speedy Delivery just what I needed.
i really love this bike.
Cant wait to receive my RR+!!!
I want to order one but their website says it's out of stock. Did you order through a dealer or store?
@@stevecabacungan wont be in stock till spring
@@timsalentine652 Placed an order 2 months ago. Will get it in March 2021.
@@stevecabacungan yep
Putting my together today!
Can't wait to hear all about your first ride!
Newton meters?
I have this bike. It's good. If u find the hidden menu it'll get up to 25 mph. faster if going down hills. 10/10 now if u want something faster then maybe find something else but for this speed I love it.
Where can I get Rad Runner plus in philippines?
My RadRunner Plus is on it’s way via FedEX and should be here any day now.
That said, I don’t have a Newton Metric Torque Wrench for assembly as used in the assembly video.
Is it necessary to have one? Or will a regular wrench do just fine?
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Ephraim Carter instablaster =)
@Axl Parker I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Axl Parker It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Ephraim Carter you are welcome =)
What do you mean by "flat side cutters", everything else made sense and was very clear?
So I'm in Europe and looking at buying one but the pictures on the euro website has the bike with no passenger package or upgraded front light but when you look at the accessories separately they say they are included with the rad runner plus. Can anyone confirm that they come with the euro version or not?
Hi Robert!
The version of the RadRunner Plus visible on the European website is exclusive to European customers.
It holds a 250W motor, 7-speed drivetrain and can hold a full payload capacity of 136 kg.
Unlike the US version, or original limited edition RadRunner Plus, this RadRunner Plus does not include a passenger pack or Premium headlight. It is, however, sold at a lower price and has a halo headlight (seen on the RadRhino).
As with all European Rad Power Bikes models, the RadRunner Plus holds a Twist-power assist, and not a throttle (as seen on US & CA models).
@@RadPowerElectricBikes And that is what makes us all cry.
If Europe and the governments are constantly talking about emission reductions, more tax to diesels, etc, they should stop making the Ebikes so boring and not so useful, compared to North America.
Also, if i convert the prices, the EU version is still more expensive, at least 30 bucks, with less stuff. So i dont know what you mean by "are sold at a lower price". Well, maybe a year ago, that used to be the case, could be that too...
so are the washers included with the handlebar faceplate hardware to be discarded? they are not mentioned anywhere in the video or in the instruction booklet. it would be helpful if the information in the booklet was consistent with the video.
I don't know if you've figured it out by now but you thread the washers onto the bolts. It's mentioned when he first takes the bolts out.
What is the correct tire pressure for the tires on the Rad Runner Plus? I don't see a number on the tires.
Hi Toni, the recommended PSI for the RadRunner ebike tire is between 20 and 25, though you can pump these tires all the way up to 30 if desired. We can't recommend running these tires less than 20 PSI, or greater than 30. Happy riding!
7:15 "use a pedal wrench to torque each pedal to 35 newton meters” Are torque pedal wrenches available? Please explain how to do this. (I'm aware of torque socket wrenches, but unclear about torquing with pedal wrench.)
It just means a thin wrench. I use an adjustable wrench for it for years. Carry it in my bag with me for all small jobs on the bike. As long as it's thin.
I'm also curious about that. I just purchased one.
@@rideoption2008 They gave you the wrench in that small bag. It's enough for that small job. I do think oiling all prior is a great idea, or using grease.
Yeah this made so sense to me either.
If they just mean "thin wrench" I wonder why the specified "35 newton meters."
Is a Newton Metric Torque Wrench necessary? Thanks in advance for your input.
Hey Toni, we recommend getting a torque wrench to ensure you have everything torqued to the appropriate value. If you do not wish to purchase one, you may also want to look into having the bike professionally assembled by a bike mechanic.
I have a socket wrench set, plus a Stanley set with different hex nut drivers. Works like a charm. You can get under the saddle, or anything without laying under it. I think each set was less than $20. Even if you did put it together without, get it for the future. Bikes need it a lot through the years.
How many hours does the battery last? And how long to recharge it?
Hi Salma, battery range depends on various factors, including payload weight, use of throttle/PAS, and terrain. The battery has a range of 25 miles to 45 miles per full charge. The battery can fully recharge in 3 to 7 hours.
How do you know what 35NM is for the pedal torque? Is what the person in the video did a 35NM Pedal Torque?
Hey Ed! This sounds like a great question for our Product Support team! You can reach them at - radpowerbikes.com/support.
Mine says it has left facility 4 days ago. Does anyone know when it will be here?
You sould have receive a email from rad about where your bike is
I want to order one but their website says it's out of stock. Did you order through a dealer or store?
Directly from radpowerbikesdotcom
Is it 20 psi or 30 psi for the tires, I can't quite read it on the tire.
Hey David! The psi recommendation for the RadRunner Plus is 20-30 psi (1.4-2.1 bar).
What size is the pedal wrench as well as the bike torque wrench? I'm watching and preparing before the bike arrives :)
You'll want to use a 15 mm wrench to tighten your pedals. This is included in your toolkit. If you're purchasing a torque wrench, you'll want one that has settings between 6-10 Nm.
My rad runner plus come in 3 days im so excited 😄
How was it :) ?
@@kristiansanchez1274 awesome,
@@partiallyhuman How is it going, after one year? Did you get the EU or US version?
@@jhonnydasbr5367 I love it and still use it. I added the basket and the extra storage between the pedals
I want this e-bike. How can I get one? Their website says it's out of stock and it won't let me order one.
My wife and I each bought a Rad Power bike in June... maybe July. My RadRover arrived a few months ago, but her RadRunner Plus (the one in this video) is on a FedEx truck to be delivered today. I read an article from BusinessWeek a week or so ago about how Rad was overwhelmed with orders when COVID hit (everyone wanting exercise at a social distance and something fun to do).
Use the "In stock electric bikes" feature on their website. They have a bike based on the same frame, but in green, available now. You can add the rear seat as an accessory (out of stock, but they will have 'em eventually).
Thanks. I ordered the RadRunner Plus and will be delivered in March 2021.
@@stevecabacungan Now they were out of RadRunner 1. I ordered plus instead though I'll take the rear seat off. Other upgrades on it are worth it though. I needed for one of the part time jobs. I didn't have a month plus to wait, if even that was not pushed off further. Oh well. Plus seems solid.
I hate the colour, will the plus eventually come in new colours? Green?
Is the battery removable?
yes
And protect it lol. Battery alone is almost half the cost of the bike.
@@swolpertinger5004 the battery locks onto your bike with the key making it pretty impossible to steal
@@versatyledc Yep. What I was getting at is accidental damage is not covered by the warranty. So if you damage it in anyway, you would need to pay over $550 just for a new battery.
Love this bike in future models can we have hydraulic disk breaks
if you are alone, place the box on it's side open and pull out the bike. that's what I did.
and by the way, the front suspension sucks if you ride potted roads. there ought to be an upgrade.
Do you sell Rad bike covers?
Hi Steve! Unfortunately, we don't currently sell covers for our ebikes. We recommend checking with your local bike shop to find out if they have any suggestions for compatible bike covers.
Would be good if you mentioned when buying that you'll need expensive specialized tools to put it together. Would've picked having it assembled if I knew it was going to cost as much to get tools
do I really have to assemble the bike? for real?
Hey Ana! The ebikes arrives 85% assembled. We include a toolkit with the bike and have detailed video tutorials to help walk you through the last few remaining steps. If you need any additional assistance, our Product Support is available at - radpowerbikes.com/support.
Ask any male neighbors. Guys love doing these things. We live for opportunity to play with these new toys. You'll be surprised.
You dont have to. You can ride it the way it comes, if you so wish :D
NO PRICE
I believe it is 1,699 dollars
That is because it is an assembly video, not an advert
No black or green? Booooooo 👎👎👎 nowhere near as cool
The mask…….
It is absolutely not as easy as the guy pretends. This is another ad by Rad, not an instruction.
Specially dont get fooled by the front tire. Put the bike upside down and then do it
Hey Shaahin, thanks for taking the time to watch the video, and thank you for the feedback! If you need any additional assistance please don't hesitate to follow up with our Product Support team via email at - radpowerbikes.com/support.
Enough mechanical skills such as linking the caliper up to the rotor and putting in a front and back wheel is the only skills you need to know
Was the face diaper necessary?
LOL. It was probably to hide that it was a voiceover.
Looks awesome but why is he wearing a mask?
Why is he wearing a mask?
That’s what I’m saying
Can you please make videos operation guide as well please and how to maintain the bike thank you 😊
