I have been on the fence on this. I have been looking at the Radrovers but also considering a mid drive. And also considering converting my fat bike to mid drive or getting a mountain bike and converting it. If I get a Radrover, I think it will be the older models like the Radrover 5 fat bike or the step-thru model with more generic components. I looked at a bunch of more expensive factory mid-drives today and I did like them, but all of those and the Rad 6 plus all have proprietary (I think) components like especially the motors and batteries. Which means in a few short years, parts might be hard to get, and will be more expensive then more generic motors like Bafangs, and those built in batteries will have to be purchased from the factory brand that sells the bikes.
And this leads me to consider either the rear hub Rad 5 or build my own bike with parts that can be replaced more easily. Just my thoughts on it. I want a bike that can still be easily serviced without reliance on the brand that made it. Is my logic wrong on this? If it is, show me the way. I just don't want to give $2000 to 3,500 for a temporary bike with stupid expensive replacement parts, if you can get them at all.
