How did this pan out for you, @Groffice? I'm in a similar situation.

LOL, yes. So it's the motor I should be checking, I take it. Thank you. I do wonder if an engine upgrade is ultimately the place I'll end up in being serious about making my (hilly) commute a sustainable premise, and to just get general parity across controller, battery, and motor.

@AHicks I really appreciate the context and education on this, keep it up so long as you have the patience and tolerance for it! 😅 So I've been starting to touch the side of the controller (not the skid plate that holds it in on this and some other Rad bike models) after these test rides and...

@BKing, yes, that is entirely correct: those are the readings on PAS1. If that's problematic, the only thing that I think left to address is my wiring harness, which I did feel I may have pinched a pin on the downtube electrical cable connector upon first installing the 32a controller. I have...

Success on full hill climb at P1 with your recommended setting C5 setting, @BKing!! Cannot thank you enough for all of this. 😎🙏 Now, would I have been able to progress through P5 without issue? I’m trying to sit and think what the takeaways are here given this new success. I’m going to try...

@BKing and @AHicks, I think there may be something to this theory. So I received some guidance from Electro Bike World (C5 to 6, C12 to 0) and went out on P1 to the same hill with a fully charged battery. It only made it to 1260-1270 before kicking out again. I'm going to raise this with Rad...

Love your game plan, @AHicks. Here's the update on what went down: My PSI was low, around 10. I got it to 25 PSI (the spec calls for a range of 20-30 PSI). Good guidance, thank you! I did not modify any controller settings yet. I went up the steepest hill where I've been benchmarking the...

@AHicks, if tire PSI is likely a minimal factor, what's the surest path to confirming the max wattage? I'm not sure why this would be such a task given the relatively simple state of my bike: stock RR+ with the seemingly ubiquitous 32a controller...

@BKing, thank you for the clarity that this number is in itself inaccurate! Very helpful to know that about my setup. To your question, this new 2021-issued RR+ is using the stock Kenda K-Rad 20" x 3.3" tires, which I've set to 23 to offset another setting per this user's approach: . It's also...

I hear you, @AHicks. The question at hand: So what should be done about this? Is there a maximum wattage controller setting I should be implementing, or are you unaware of the particulars of this controller? I certainly have hunted for this answer but haven't found it yet. I thought the...

Correct @BKing. It seems closely tied to Motor Power wattage tripping the BMS, and I only get to the 5k mark with a serious hill. Unfortunately, my neighborhood is lousy with these steep hills! 😅 What's unclear to me is whether it's normal for a Rad Runner Plus with a stock battery to be able...

Hello, EBR forum—First up, thanks to all of you. Really benefitted from all the smarts here as I got serious about my first e-bike purchase this year. Hopeful you might be able to steer a little of that savvy my way to help me understand how to solve this particular challenge I'm having with my...
