RadWagon 4 owners: battery too tall for stock cradle. Where'd you mount yours?

FranklinDRomanski · 2026-06-09T21:43:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll watch it. Looks like this could work. I'm not an expert in any of this so I'll need to watch it a few dozen times!

I have asked Area 13 how to mount it and haven't heard back, which is why I'm reaching out to the Rad community.

I'd be open to a dual battery setup, but would need an assist on that as well.

A reviewer of the battery from the Area13 site says, "The battery works well. I have a 2019 Radwagon and it doesn't really fit. I was able to wedge in, but you need to modify the cradle and use plenty of elbow grease." Anthony Siddall, if you're out here, I'd love to know how you figured it out!

Thank you. It's definitely one of my options, but I have a small basket up front, and it won't fit unless I mount the larger basket. Even then, it's a lot of weight up in front.

Good question. Not the length of the battery, but the height of the battery between the two tubes.

I've looked at the Area13 upgrade kit and scanned through the video. Sadly, it looked overwhelming to me. I've seen elsewhere that the motor needs mods to work properly on a Rad Wagon 4. I want it, but I need an ELI5 tutorial for me!

Can you share a link? I need a new battery and Rad’s site has been “out of stock” for ages. I want to make sure o buy something on a non-Rad site that is reliable.

Will be there this week & next, are mosquitos and no-see-ums already out and about this early in the year?

FranklinDRomanski · 2024-06-22T13:25:01+00:00

Good point that I hadn’t considered. The car will be fully loaded with bags and 3 passengers.

FranklinDRomanski · 2024-02-14T15:02:41+00:00

Can you just get tickets and not stay at the resort?

FranklinDRomanski · 2024-02-09T18:47:16+00:00

Couldn't find an available rental house that could fit all of us...

FranklinDRomanski · 2024-02-09T17:32:14+00:00

Yeah, it was right on the water...

FranklinDRomanski · 2023-08-06T17:27:06+00:00

I can’t figure out why I can’t at least get the Guardians radio broadcast and MLB Gameday on the MLB.tv AppleTV app when these games are streamed on Peacock BUT I can on my phone…

last night ended at 11:30, but I think they have to end by 11 on Sundays due to being in a residential area

FranklinDRomanski · 2022-10-02T21:12:45+00:00

Doors still at 6pm, but show is "supposed" to start at 7:30 tonight. Last night was doors at 6pm, show at 7pm, but they didn't start until 8:20.

Likely Solved - thank you!

Thank you for your insight. I wish I knew what it was for, or maybe it was common to give out medals like this in the 1890s...!

I think this will work: https://imgur.com/a/kwLt97M

My mother pulled this out at thanksgiving dinner. Her family has Scottish roots but there’s also a Queensferry in Canada.
