I just went through this on my 2016 RADROVER. I ended up ordering the replacement from Rad and bought the crank puller. Pretty easy job; but would be very difficult without the crank puller.

Just an update...heard from RAD on Friday and got a quote on my part which is apparently in stock. I think it took 9 calendar days to get a quote as I understand these folks are both working form home and simultaneously swamped with business. Part on order. All good.

Thank you. Interesting. I guess that would mean the purpose of the PAS sensor is only to determine if the crank is in motion - not the crank speed?

Sorry, from the pieces I was able to gather it looks like it had 6 magnets (2016 RADROVER)

No, not the sensor...the disk that mounts on the crank shaft that the sensor reads. It's missing in this pic.

Thanks for the input here folks. I broke a magnetic disk last week and am still waiting for a response to my request for a quote. Sounds like it will be a while and the part will likely be out of stock. Unfortunately I can't find anything that looks like a suitable replacement elsewhere (any...

I purchased this rack: https://www.1up-usa.com/product/2in-super-duty-double-bike-rack It's not cheap and to accommodate the fat tire bikes, you need to purchase a fat tire adapter kit. It can take up to two 75# bikes -- so handles the RadRover with ease. It's a little heavy at 47 lbs, but is...

I am really glad to see this post. With the battery about 1/3 the cost of the bike, it doesn't seem there is enough focus on good battery charging practices. I am on year #2 with my RadRover (800 total miles). Last year I used to plug in immediately after a ride and let it sit plugged in at...

Just an update on my downhill/uphill no assist issue with my speed based PAS Radrover. MrGold was absolutely correct. If I wait to start pedaling until my speed is below my high speed cutoff, all is good. PAS comes on as needed at the level I have it set at. If I start pedaling at a higher...

I have been looking at this rack. Not cheap either. About $640 once you put in the fat bike tire adapter for 2 bikes. It wouldn't work with the new RadRover fenders, but I think would be OK with the older, shorter style and certainly good for no fenders. 75 lb per bike cacapacity. Appears...

I would agree a torque based controller would likely suit me best. I haven't done the research, but am guessing that technology is priced beyond the very reasonable price of the RadRover.

I can fully understand your point. But for my type of riding with pretty much constantly changing incline/decline, I want the "wind at my back" to be changing constantly to reflect the terrain. I am not after a constant speed but am also looking for a level of workout. Constant power isn't...

I put a little dielectric grease on mine on occasion and it goes in relatively effortlessly (but not perfect).

Interesting. I haven't tried to wait to begin pedaling until the speed is below the PAS cutoff. I'll see if that makes a difference. I already have the cutoff speed maxed out (we have some fast dogs around here - that is my escape method). This whole thing is more of an annoyance than a...

My April/May 2016 vintage RadRover (600 miles) has developed a quirk. On occasion (not always) if I make a steep descent at a fairly high speed (30+ mph) quickly followed by a steep ascent the PAS does not kick in at the appropriate speed (nor does the hand throttle work). Once I come to a...
