I notice from this link that the motor is described as a "CASSETTA" which I believe may/will be incompatible with your stock single-speed freewheel sprocket. I am no expert on these matters, but I believe the difference between a "freewheel" and a "cassette" is important -- the two are not...

If any 750W motor will work the RR1, it's probably the one you ordered from Electro Bike World (EBW) -- it is the freewheel type with a 175mm dropout and I believe has a motor cable/connector that is plug-and-play compatible with the upgraded motor controller from either Bolton or EBW. However...

I have not done this upgrade myself (yet), but have inspected/measured my RadRunner 1 (RR1) for potential fit. It looks to me possible, in principle, to mount the Bolton/EBW controller to the underside of the bottom bracket, basically replacing the existing stock controller -- the space there is...

Just did, thanks.

I'm in the market to buy a used (but in full working condition) 2019 stock/OEM RadRunner (or equivalent) motor controller. I am willing to pay as much as $30 plus the cost of shipping. As many Rad owners have purchased the Bolton (or EBW) controller upgrade, I'm guessing that there are a bunch...

Well, given all the Bolton/EBW upgrades that folks seem to be buying, there ought to be as many of the older non-restricted Rad controllers out there for sale. I'm in the market for one if anyone is selling.

Jeepers! Why has this taken so long? This is somewhat of a facetious question. But I am genuinely curious to know why, some three months after these bikes began shipping, there have been no formal reviews by any of the big ebike bloggers (and indeed even very few by amateur owners)? I've always...

Thanks. I understand how the Bolton mod works (generally speaking), and its benefits. It stands to reason, on the surface, that swapping both the stock display and controller with the Bolton controller/KT display should eliminate any Rad-implemented speed restrictions. But @EBJ raised the...

Ah, that's somewhat useful information, as I now notice on Kyle's website: "Plug and play for 2019 and 2020 Radrover models." Yet as mentioned, I am specifically interested in compatibility with the RadRunners. Additionally, I wonder when this was last updated? Because more specifically still...

Thanks. I understand that the Bolton controller is compatible with several 2019 Rad bikes (including the new tail light addition). The question at hand is whether the Bolton (and/or EBW) controller is compatible with the newest/latest 2020 models, under the (as-of-yet unconfirmed) assumption...

Thanks for the update; I stand corrected (maybe the photos on EBW's website are out of date). More generally, I find it fascinating that any of this is still a mystery. Seems to me that there are very likely lots of smart/experienced Rad owners out there who know exactly what are the...

Hmm... I am (obviously) not intimately familiar with the Rad controllers -- never had a reason (yet) to dig into this in any great detail. But I notice that the Bolton controller also has five cables, including (as I understand) a new one for the tail light, whereas the EBW controller appears to...

Now you've really piqued my curiosity -- I have no idea what is this "suspicious" rectangular "mystery plug" to which you refer??? If the controller itself has new cabling, then one suspects that even the Bolton/EBW mod may not work anymore...

Thanks for the clarification; most detailed explanation I have seen (though I am not on FB, if this is where all/most of the discussion on this topic has occurred). Btw, my RR1 shipped in mid May. So it seems that the new speed restriction may have been implemented a bit earlier than you...

Wondering if you (or anyone else on this forum) has since been able to confirm (or disconfirm) this rumor? It seems to be true, as I set the display on my 2020 RR+ to 40 kph yet with no measurable effect. I also tried a reported hack for my 2020 RR1 by taping over the motor cable pin that (again...

I've never been misled by the analog display regarding (roughly) how much power I have left to get home. But if you need this info spelled out in equally vague digital numbers, then I guess to each his own.

I had the same thought. Though I don't necessarily fault RPB for trying to maximize their sales/reach -- and doubt that they are specifically targeting sports hunters with this color option (after all, they sell the RadRunner in this color). At the same time, I don't quite understand why (say)...

I'm kinda' curious why so many folks are so keen on an outdated (monochrome) LCD display? I own a RR1 and the basic analog controls suit me just fine -- in fact, I like this better than my RR+ because I dislike the PA controls on that bike (less haptic feedback, and so I often switch through PA...

Be that as it may, I am willing to bet that RPB would not condone carrying pets in their center console, nor accept responsibility in the event of an accident, and particularly now that they have a specialized pet carrier and basket specifically for this purpose.

Depending on the size of the pet, I would be just slightly worried about the console breaking loose with too much weight shifting around inside over a period of time -- those mounting screws are not of the highest quality, and the plastic on the console strikes me as potentially susceptible to...
