Lost RAD ROVER electric fat tire bike - Black with Blue lights

Post by Gustawes » Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:20 pm

I lost a really nice bike that was gifted to me. It's a rad rover electric fat tire bike. It was lit with blue lighting and one white light in the back wheel. It is big and pretty obnoxious, so I'm kind of assuming somebody took it, yet would love to get it back. It had two baskets on the back with cigarettes in them at the time it was lost. Please let me know if you have it. Appreciate it.

How did the thief remove your lock?

I didn't use a lock. Burners aren't supposed to steal.

Your logic is not quite adding-up.

How many $1,400 up-market electric bikes do you intend to give away before you decide to purchase and use a $5.00 cable lock?

I have an electrified trike. And, i can promise you one thing for sure; anytime my butt comes off that seat, my combination cable lock is attached and I have yet to have to walk back to my camp.

After 3 burns, I still have to lug that trike 2,300 miles back home and clean it up for the next year. True, my trike is only a $250 down-market trike with an aftermarket electric kit added. But, for me; that was a pretty big investment and one that I would not like to give away.

Sorry for coming so down so hard on you. I fear that you ain't never gonna see that nice electric bike again. I suspect that it is most probably sitting in a garage in Omaha with a fresh paint job and a new colored light string.

Just to prove that I am not one Cold-Hearted ol' SOB, if you will PM me your contact information, I will send you a combination cable lock for your next bike and you will owe me absolutely nothing. Life lessons are sometimes difficult lessons to learn; but they are usually remembered.
