I did the same volatage battery as @woodsusa, but in the higher amperage 11.6 Ah configuration. You sacrifice a couple Ah of range for more peak power. I tried to change the controller once, but it was too hard finding a replacement and I was too nervous to splice/solder thin wires. I opted to...

If you have any kind of zippered luggage on your bike you could buy a small padalock or use a cable tie to hold the zippers together if you have two on one track. The only bad thing is that someone could press a pen into the zipper track to open it and take your stuff and zip over it to shut it...

I have this same stand. Beware that it can tip over.

@Thomas Jaszewski These are a necessity if you are running a BBSHD like me on a 60 lb. Radrover frame: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I love them. Way better than the stock mechanical disc brakes. Night and day difference!

@Eeavens462 I would fight to get every issue resolved. Read my post on here from when I received my radrover. It was in similar shape to yours with a lot of damage. We pay $1,499 for these bikes and then $174 shipping on top of that. They need better quality control in China and better shipping...

I would charge to 50% and insulate it. Monitor charge periodically throughout winter and top-off if needed.

@RonDog1957 Understood. I hate to see a few bad apples ruin it for us "responsible" guys.

This may be the best option...

It's all about being low and aerodynamic lol

@BVC waterproof bike like crazy lol

@RonDog1957 But it's not fair/double standard (to exclude ebikes on Arlington, VA trails...and I see more and more of them every day....usually hub motor bikes) to me because the fit (muscular) guys on the nonpowered road bikes (thin tires, curled handlebars, off-seat pedaling) can do in excess...

It will not fit in the triangle. I could potentially see it mounted on the top frame rail like a motorcycle gas tank, but i think that would be cumbersome after a while and perhaps interfere with control of the bike.

@Toynut I agree

@woodusa I would recommend a battery back and to add insulation to the bag. Batteries dislike extreme cold or heat, and that can degrade the performance. A battery is basically a chemical reaction and temperature can slow it down. Think about how many car batteries die in the winter. I've added...

@Steve Rausch not street though...

@hfk2 Yes I did and it does fit since the case is the same dimensions as the stock one. You will need a 52V charger. Yes there is more range, torque, acceleration, and top speed versus the stock battery. You will notice the difference most when hot off of the charger (read: 58.8V).

@MazzyScar This pack will give you more range at the same Ah, or you can add 2 more Ah for $30: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Plus, your Radrover will have better acceleration, torque, and top-speed. I did this to mine the first month and the controller and motor handles the increased...

Not enough room in triangle to fit the pack

@Duane Is the rack 1" or 1 1/2"? Thanks

@woodusa Wow. Looks rough dude. At least you can tell the ladies you can't talk about fight club lol. Women love mystery. :)
