    35 amp controller

    Rad 750 watt motor power

    Are you saying the Tesla won’t charge fully or that you can’t run it down fully? Either way is a technique to prevent battery damage and fires.

    35 amp controller

    I have the 35 KT and didn’t like the groaning noise at startup so I shelved it. Now I’m trying it again but still groaning and with P3 set to 0 or 1, both are rolling off in wattage at higher speeds to about 620 watts. I don’t think the Rad 48v battery is sagging, if it was going to sag it would...

    35 amp controller

    Does the larger amp controllers like the 35 amp show over 1000 watts during initial acceleration but roll off power as you get to 15mph and higher?

    Rad Power Bikes lands massive $150M investment

    Rad is working on their biggest problems. Some customers can’t fix their bike and most bike shops won’t touch an ebike. For those that don’t know why shops won’t touch them, in the words of the shop if they spoke outright: It’s too heavy for my service stand. I don’t want that beast sitting...

    New Rad Rover. Several Questions

    It’s a cable activated, same cable you have. Reviews are not good. Might be ok for riders under 170lbs.

    New Rad Rover. Several Questions

    Cable cutters compress the strands as it cuts, regular cutters will spread them apart. I have the cutters but have always just bought cables with the ends on it. Back in the 70’s the damn ends would pop off just as you really needed some brakes.

    RadCity delivery time issue

    Congratulations! We have two 2019’s. We put on larger seats and seat post shocks. Wife has the rear basket on hers. Usually have to tighten all spokes a half turn then again around 2500 miles. Check the torque on the rear wheel nuts. 18mm wrench. Don’t use the cheap one it came with, too loose...

    2 Battery Chargers Over Heating

    100 watts is not being dissipated inside the case. It would melt. The correct way to calculate the heat dissipation inside the charger case is input power minus output power. There are some tweaks to this depending on the charger but these are not variable chargers. They only know when the load...

    Pedaling with no power

    Maybe most learned what I did, put on rear brake and raise bike on rear wheel, roll to the rack, modulate rear brake to lower the front, then just need to lift the rear.

    Pedaling with no power

    The weight of an adult rider is a larger factor than anything else with power and without power. We have two Radcity (65 psi, 2.3 inch tires) and sometimes ride on flat ground with no power for laughs. My wife is probably 100 lbs lighter than me and I have stronger legs, she leaves me behind in...

    Fun Little Features

    I posted this before, to add some power in PAS 1 and 2 just keep pedaling and goose the throttle for 1 sec to add some wattage. It stays higher until you pause pedaling. Works on 2019 Radcity and probably more.

    Repurpose RAD battery as emergency power source

    How low are some of you discharging your battery for storage? I hope no more than half and do so at a fairly slow rate. Also, loading the charge port is asking for a bad BMS.

    Intermittent Power Loss

    If it’s only cutting out while pedaling it’s a bad PAS sensor, misalignment or connection. Rarely the controller but possible.

    Intermittent Power Loss

    Does it cutout while using just the throttle too? How did you go about checking connections? Some are tight even when they need to be pushed another 1/8 inch. Need to remove and reseat the battery too. If still a problem, this will probably take some special effort to figure out how to load the...

    Rad White wire speed hack

    About 30 years ago I was riding a regular bike in Montreal and some cops yelled at me and started chasing in their car. Not sure what I did but they never caught me 😎

    Radrinho 5

    Probably needs some program setups done. Did you get documentation?

    On the bikes with the battery inside the frame, how do you replace or repair those batteries?
