Ebike / Elcykel Biltema Yosemite 20" Fat Tire

 Made a short video showing some features of the Biltema Yosemite Ebike here in Sweden.

The frame is made in Taiwan, it has 7 speed and a Bafang rear geared hub motor.




New motorcycle tires on Ebike / Rawbike fatbike, Michelin A39 or Michelin City Grip 2

Replace 20x4.0 Kenda tire to motorcycle Michelin A39 tire


Yes, they are more weight, yes they resit puncture on another level. 

Moped tire sizes are measured at the inside-diameter of the tire (just like motorcycles), but bicycle tires are measured by the average outside-diameters. A 16" motorbike tyre fits on to a 20" (407mm) bicycle rim.


406mm is the ISO standard and is what you'll likely come across.



If you want a thinner tire, check this out:


shinko SR714 16 x 2.25 moped tire, price  $32.99


SR714 slicky tire for 16" wheels

speed rated 93 mph

3lb 9oz

"super easy to put on if you get the tire warmed up (leave it in a car, put it in the sun"

Radrunner motorcycle tire with good result

"currently using shinko 241s 3:00x16, they handle great and not as heavy as regular motorcycle tires so you dont lose much range nor speed" - Jeffrey G.

You can also fit 20x4.0 on Radrunner:

"Bra pris för två nya michelindäck, montering efter alla konstens regler, rengöring av fälgar, byte av bromsbelägg (jag hade med egna nya), 1500 kr för allt. Kvitto med moms.

2 kilo tryck i framdäcket och 2.5 kilo där bak, rullar bra, och tyst." L. Berghe


"I have only driven it 5-6 kilometers since the new tires so I thought I would wait with a deeper analysis. It is quite clear, however, that the Rawbike will be more stable while traveling, no wobble anymore. Before, I experienced that the front tire sometimes tracked and climbed away on bumps, this tire is completely round, and feels "rounder", more stable.

My hope is that these tires will withstand wear much better than the leaf-thin Kenda tires. It rolls better too, even though I had my Kendas pumped hard." - L. Berghe

Michelin A39

100/80 – 16

"Michelin sets the standard for small- to medium-displacement motorcycle tyres. Effective on all the types of roads, the A39 and M39 combine comfort and easy handling. Their durable rubber compound makes them some of the most economical tyres you’ll find."

"Gets a little duller than the original (I drove at about 1.5kg) but you get a better driving feeling." - R. El-Ghezzaoui

Trailer hitch on a Radrunner

Trailer to your Radrunner?

"If anyone is looking to fit a trailer hitch, this is what I did. Used stepper drill bit to make my hitch plate a bit larger and used Dremel to make a notch for the hex head bolt to fit. Then placed the plate behind the axle nut, replacing the washer with my plate. Also, I found a larger hex head bolt to replace the crappy one that came with the bike since it just stripped as soon as a tried to remove it, so now it’s the same size hex head as the other side." - M. V. Sant




Using the flat coupler

"Pardon the crudeness of this example , hopefully it will help illustrate my idea a little better.

Once the three hole bracket is fabed I would weld the replacement part to outer surface ." - James Mj Buche

---------------  -------------

"I don't like the idea of a side hitch so I built this. I also found Rustolium paint to match the green"

- Gary Edwards

Ventura Zinc Coated Bicycle Trailer Hitch


" The trailer is an Action Packer container by Rubber Maid bolted to a flat traile" - G Edwards

I den här videon är medgrundaren med och berättar lite om Radrunner.


Tror man beställer här: https://radpowerbikes.eu/



Ändra från 250W till 750W på EU version

J. Zetterman:

"Ja min är en 250 W EU modell, det står 250W på cykeln. Även i displayen så står det "250 W" när man har på assistans läge 5 trots att det då går mellan 30-34 KM/H efter att ställt om den. Fast det blir såklart olaglig efter inställningen eftersom den ger assistans upp till den farten."


Radrunner, coola cyklar med nästan moppedäck.
