    Hello from San Diego - Photos - 2020 RadWagon 4 w/trailer and upgrades

    I have since added the 52v battery and Bafang Hub. The bike goes 34~ MPH on PA 5. The spare Radbike battery is never used but nice to know I have a backup. Getting cassette off the Rad Bike hub was tricky. I cut a Park Tools 'tool' in half. I then had to shim it because of the saw width. Not...

    Bafang 750 Watt, Integrated Wheel, Rear Hub Fat Bike Motor

    Update - I got the Park Tool off Amazon, cut it in half, wedged to small screw drivers on each side and got the cassette off.

    Bafang 750 Watt, Integrated Wheel, Rear Hub Fat Bike Motor

    Hello, I'm in the middle of the same Rad cassette removal issue. Can you chat me the buy link for the cassette removal tool you used? Of coarse the Park Tools Cassette Removal I have is too big.....From what I've read, I guess I'll dremel the tool into halves so avoid drilling through the center...

    Turbo Levo May 2020 error codes and spontaneous motor shutoffs

    We have three of these SWorks Turbo Levo bikes. Each bike has had at least two batteries and three motors replaced. The Kenevos are just as bad. The shop we deal with is amazing. Specialized doing there own motor next year but scary on a gen 1.

    Help/RadPower Wagon4/Bolton Upgrade

    Thank you. I may keep the second battery then. I ride the bike on the sand and park it right in front of me so theft isn't a huge concern. "install an A/B switch on the battery cable" Do you have a link or image to one of these? When the bike dies so does the display. I think I'll run two...

    Help/RadPower Wagon4/Bolton Upgrade

    Just to clarify - my goal is more torque up hills and not top speed. "If you do go to a different motor, be aware that a direct drive motor will give you more top speed, but less torque at low end, which is what you want. So stick with geared hubs."

    Help/RadPower Wagon4/Bolton Upgrade

    What is the total weight of 3 riders and the trailer weight? I guess 360lbs~ How much are you pedaling? 95% of the time and hard... Why are you asking if you have all the parts already ordered to repower it? Because I want to be clear on a solution. I see these heavy three wheel Ecargo...

    Help/RadPower Wagon4/Bolton Upgrade

    Thanks in advance for your time What voltage is it displaying just before shutoff? I'll need to check this I will bet that you are drawing max power (1400-1500w) all the time. On the flats, the controller backs it down to 500 - 600w it's not constant at 1400w - 1500w. Ok noted - I'll try...

    Help/RadPower Wagon4/Bolton Upgrade

    Hi, I have a 2020 RadWagon4. I added the Bolton screen/controller. More power for sure and much better up hills - BUT...The bike with 2 kids and a trailer lasts less than ~300 feet of accent and 5-6 miles. Is this normal?? I know it's a lot of weight but this seems crazy? I have a 700w...

    Hello from San Diego - Photos - 2020 RadWagon 4 w/trailer and upgrades

    Guys thanks for the replies. I'll look into Kenda tires. I've had three flats so I'll line the tires today and then buy spares as you suggested. Yes they have showers at the beach but I just wanted to build this with the kids just because. I also surf a reef with now showers in sight. it's nice...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I've seen a lot of the 2020s. TY looks AMAZING. Many nice looking brands for sure. I still see a lot of brands with down tube battery bulk; some still look like motorcycles. I would never touch one of these. I think Specialized is a year ahead of everyone else (that I've seen). The Specialized...

    Turbo Levo May 2020 error codes and spontaneous motor shutoffs

    I have had three of these Levos. They have A LOT of issues. I'm on my second batt and third motor. The power cable had a new upgrade as did the Brose motor. Believe it or not, small/micro fine debris can get in there and cause this. Use electric contact cleaner and air at 175psi.

    Hello from San Diego - Photos - 2020 RadWagon 4 w/trailer and upgrades

    Hi, new here but long time ebike rider. I wanted to share the upgrades and things I did to the RadWagon. I wanted a utilitarian Ebike so I can ride to the beach with two kids, 3 boards, chair and cooler. First off props to Mark at Bolten for the endless questions. -2020 RadWagon -Bolten...
