Nice! Bike $1700 Accessories priceless!

Thank you for sharing all those tips and recommendations

Great list! Thanks for sharing.

I might look into mini air pumps. The foot pump my dad gave me works great but it also takes up most of the space in my panner bag. once I get the battery cord & all my tools in the bag there is barely any space left.

Great video and love your honesty.

Awesome list! Bought the mini air compressor and that thing is RAD! Helpful for car trips too.

Great video! Thanks 😊

Great video, THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing, I got a lot of good ideas from that video.

I upgraded to armored foam lined tubes tannis brand foam is great !

I suggest Tannus wheel liners and don't forget one size smaller tubes when you install since the liners take up room inside the tire...Just buy the full set. It's like 120-130 for the 2 liner/tube setup and well worth it. Research yourself. If you want cheaper go with Slime or there's another I used that works well I just can't remember. Not fixaflat btw. Don't use that. Another thing I suggest is at least one GPS tracker. I hid 2 in my bike(they make accessories that are made to hide them like bells or reflectors). An Airtag and a Samsung Smart tag+ to hedge my bets. The Airtag only works if you one have an Apple device and ppl around your stolen bike need to have devices that run Apple Find my Device. I got one of each for under 100 and one I hid inside the bike and the other I have a bell that hides an Airtag. Another thing if you have a bike that's worth a lot I suggest insurance. It's typically 60-80 a year for good coverage. Mine through Oyster is 65 a year. But most big companies have ebike insurance now. IIRC for the same coverage was 75 from Geico. One thing I did since I have a security system already was add a small telephoto sec cam that points where I keep my bike. It's secure but if someone knows I'm not around and has time to get into my garage and a angle grinder they can steal it. I get a push notification and a link to the live feed of a very good angle of anyone coming up to my garage(you can only get to it from one direction because I have 2 nosy dogs that love to alert and chase ppl away that can get outside from the dog door anytime. It's another cheap addition. IIRC it was 35 to add to my setup. But you can use it stand alone if needed..All that are things you can slowly add to secure your expensive ebike. Mine was 3k plus I have close to 1k into it in upgrades. And like I'm sure many of you all who dropped even half that amount worry that someone can pick that up and walk off with it if they had the will and watched you enough and got a minute and some guts. Out of all that stuff the GPS tags then insurance are the best bang for your buck after normal things like good lock and what Russ mentions. A second backup cheap headlight is a good call if you ride at night a lot. I've had one die before and had to use my phone to ride home in the Vermont woods for 5 miles years back. I learned from that experience and you should too. 10 bucks for a cheap backup is worth it.

You and I are thinking similar. I got rid of my quick release clamp for my seat post as well. I have mirrors and spare tubes as well. In fact, I think I have the same electric pump as you as well and same water bottle as well. Same type of alarm too.

Thank you, Russ, one of the most useful Videos I've watched. Helped me with stuff for my new Keplar.

Excellent video, thank you!!

Good job with your presentation and common sense purchases. You’ve got me thinking on what I still need to purchase for my Rad Rover 6 that’s sitting still crated in my garage. Keep your thoughts coming, and thank you for sharing! Sincerely…..jd

Thanks for this video. John from MI

The best video that I was looking for. Thanks a lot Russ you are the best.🎉

If you do ride at night, you should also use rear (red or amber) blinkers on the side of bike, too...

We're the same I carry all The same things 👍👍ppl ask me why,so I tell them you would be surprised at how many people I've helped on the trails from fixing tubes to putting bandage on cuts when they wipe out lol

Great video Russ R Mack

Bike alrm. Yes. We bought them for our work vehicles after our Catalytic converter was stolen and broken into. I also bought the loud Horn alrm. Great key fob with the horn alarm.

Great videos and reviews! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Subscribed.

One thing I carry with me that you did not mention is an air horn. It will scare off animals and will also get people’s attention possibly scare off potential robbers.

Instead of packing an extra innertube, get a product called Flat Out. You put in your tires and it you get a puncture it seals it immediately. Its awesome stuff, I run it in all my bikes and never had a flat ever since. Pepper spray? I carry a .40cal pistol for protection! Lol

All in All, worth the $

Love all the videos!! I have purchased several items through your links here on this video and all are great items. Have several more to get yet. I noticed your mirrors in some videos were low and close to the handlebars and then I noticed on a video recently the mirrors appeared to have an extension raising them to a higher viewing position. I need to move my mirrors higher as well because all I see is my arm unless I lean over. I cannot find any extensions that would work with the clamp system of these mirrors. Can you tell me how you were able to raise your mirrors and the product you used? Any info would be zGREAT!!

You should've looked around on the brake calipers my xoom branded ones were $49.99 for front and back.

Nice video. So helpful! To what pressure do you keep your 4" tires inflated?

Because I watched a previous video of yours, I bought the gloves while I anxiously awaited for the arrival of my ebike! The bike arrived, I already had my gear! Yay! Long story short & some ouchies, I hit a big rut on a gravel road. Went down with the bike. Was so glad I had a helmet & gloves on! I got pretty bruised up, am still styling the bruises. 🩹 But the helmet & gloves saved the event! My left hand is still sore, but my skin was saved. My left brow bone took a hit as did my head, but again, that helmet really saved me. I truly appreciate your vids! 👍👍

The problem I have with panniers/bags and open trailers is that you can't lock up your stuff while you're out and about. I use a lockable ammo box mounted to my rear rack and pull a lockable trailer/cooler. I don't have an e-bike yet, but I'm looking. Thanks for all the info Russ.

The first "mod" I did to to my new E-bike was to replace the "quick release" seat clamp with a bolt on style. "They" steal your seat "for the fun of it" Stupid druggies! I'm still adding to my E-bike with stuff from my old bikes. AND lots more accessories. LOL!

Magicycle mirrors are a perfect solution

Great video. Just found your site a few days ago and I am delighted. I purchased my RadCity StepThru 3 in the spring and enjoy it very much. In one of your videos, you mentioned the thumb throttle adaptor you had made at your local library. Unfortunately, I can not find the link to the 3D printer file. Could you point me to the correct video as I don't see this item listed with your accessories? I am looking forward to viewing all your past videos and any future ones as they are made.

Hey Russ, recently came across your channel doing research on the Rad Rover 6+. I had an older model previously but sold it. I'm retired now and wanted to get back into riding again. As luck would have it, Rad is selling the 6+ for super cheap right now, I couldn't pass it up. So starting to get my amazon list together for accessories. Used all your links, so hope that helps when the time comes to buy. The only time I ever fell over was when I added a tall bag to the back rack. I couldn't swing my leg over it. Fell trying to get on and again when trying to get off. Took the bag off right away 🤣I found it helpful to stand on a concrete pad outside my garage to decrease the height a bit and then rolling on the throttle as I slung my leg over. Same thing when dismounting, I would swing my right leg back over while keeping my left foot on the pedal and then slowly coming to a stop. Great videos! 👍

Lots of good detail. Interesting how much you carry. I’m interested how many punctures have you had?

I just found your vid an channel, subbed you for more info. Thx

An excellent rundown, Russ. Not everything is a "must have", of course, but the folks that spend a good deal of time riding - particularly on long rides away from home - they can save themselves a lot of grief when inconvenient things like flat tires happen.

How did you attach the water bottle holder to the front rack? Zip ties?

I have that water bottle. I agree the insulation does nothing. Expect to drink warm water unless it's near freezing outside during your ride.

You can go crazy having to order all these accessories. I can see you need some of these stuff.

few pennies headed your way my friend. I bought the Bikaroo saddle

To be fair,a lot of this stuff one needs on a regular bike and vehicle. Just think of All the monies we are saving on Car registration,smog,insurance,and license fees plus gas?!? I think someone calculated a month on a Rad cost $1. In Electricity. That’s a huge savings.

Hi, E-Bikes showed up when I was surfing KZfaq. Something I thought about when I was a teenager. I got 2 years on you. I am also doing PT after a 3 month stint in the hospital. I have issues with my left ankle / foot for 4 years now. I think this is a great idea to have some fun, exercise and get out of the house. For me just a dream. My foot will not make a full pedaling cycle. For all the stuff you put on that bike, you should have bought a Honda "Gold Wing". 😎😎Don't forget the goggles. 🐶

With all those tools your a mobile bike shop if My Ebike ever break down I hope you're around my area good Choice of tool 👍

Hey Russ. Good list. Do you pull a trailer to carry all that stuff? (Just kidding). My wife and I just got our ebikes. My top two criteria were price and weight. From the weight perspective I carry the tool kit that came with the bike. It has a multi tool that has hex wrenches and screw drivers plus a multi wrench. I think these two cover all the fasteners on the bike. To stop snatch and grab thieves, I have a bike lock made from thin stainless steel braiding. This thing coils up like a slinky and stretches to 3 ft. I also carry wire ties and the smallest Swiss Army knife made. The knife easily cuts the wire ties, but can be used for many other things. I need to get a small first aid kit. I don't carry any tire repair stuff thinking that we are never too far from civilization and I can use my cell to get out of trouble. I also need to find a properly sized container to strap these on the bike. I am guessing the entire package would be less than two pounds.

My experience was VERY different… the fuse was NOT where this video indicated. I ended up cutting all of the blue and black wrap, and the fuse was not visible anywhere. If anyone has any suggestions for where I might find the fuse, I would be so very grateful. 👊

Sorry if i had this before but do you have a go to gps for directions for a ebike?Thankyou!

Can you recommend a top tube adapter for a Himiway Zebra step through?

Hi Russ - New DAV Vet 69 yrs old guy here - Great Video - AM at a Loss what to get as a DAVet - due to having a 9fusion back 2 years ago. and I have Bad NEUROPATHY in my legs and feet - so Driving a car will end up being no More. YUK! SO, I am trying to figure out what to buy - will have to make MODS like you did. SEAT!! Shocks!! PEDALS!! to start with. Just not sure what will happen physically riding and will it make for bad news for my back??? what a deal aye. I watched your 2500-mile video. DID you do a loop or it's a long way back again ride? Wow. Going to Subscribe to ur videos. See what I learn as to us Seniors. I live in Sierra Vista AZ and there loads of trails and Canyon dirt roads here. SO, I need power to go up some a factor. 4600 to 6000 on some - I bird watch so need to get out and need a bike I can put my gear on like you do. POWER!! Anyway - enuf said. I need to learn what I can for doing this as a Senior DAV guy. See what happens.

"polar" just means it has double wall construction = less volume of liquid * many modern peddles can also use a hex wrench, no need for a special tool.

Thanks…helpful…no horn upgrade?

I like everything you bought. EXCEPT. I would never skimp on a good helmet. MIPS or equivalent at minimum.

What kind of bell do you have? I’ve watched you ring it when passing someone and your hands don’t move???

What brand are your riding gloves

At the end you said your bike helped heal your knee. I was going to buy a Wired freedom bike today. I woke up this morning with my knee in a lot of pain. So I was thinking of holding off. If I may ask what was wrong with your knee

Can’t find the list please help!

Geese!

Great videos, would like to do what you do, but my video editing skills are subpar😮to nill,if you know a simple video editing software from Apple that an elderly caveman can operate. Please let me know. Thank you Russ, Grandpa’s Ebike.

YOU SAID there was a list of your Accessories but I do not see could you post thanks

Darn we just bought two

2k bike and ended up spending another 2k more damn

pay same item twice ordered motor/wheel for hyperscopion. 550.00. package was left on public sidewalk without even a knock @ door. it was stolen. Juice offered a 30% discount on replacment. other large companys refund/replace (amazon/e bay). customer service is good @ juiced. But company is greedy. if item is ordered thru them I suggest you sit outside all day for delivery or YOU will be paying again.

you stayed so calm when that tractor almost hit you.... how did you set up your mike and everything oiut at that park

You could’ve bought a motorcycle for what you have tied up in this E bike lol.

Sounds like your bike ended up being $3000
