    Battery Upgrade/Backup

    I don't think that killer whale pack will fit in the stock Radrover triangle. It looks way too tall in the photos, espically when compared to the OEM battery. The stock battery barely fits as is.

    An update on my life: BBSHD 52V Radrover & "Frankenbike"

    Finished the second conversion today minus the handlebar shifter which will arrive tomorrow. Everything works well. I will eventually switch over the better calipers from the Radrover to this new, silver bike. Also, my new chromoloy fork came for the BBSHD equiped bike. I don't trust myself to...

    An update on my life: BBSHD 52V Radrover & "Frankenbike"

    @Metalusion If you don't own a Radrover, I would say that there are better bikes out there for this conversion. If you have $1500 to spend as well as the money for the BBSHD, buy a solid bike with front suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a strong frame. If you do own a Radrover, I feel like it is...

    An update on my life: BBSHD 52V Radrover & "Frankenbike"

    @opimax Yeah, I saw yours in the shop today sans front brake hose. It made me sad. Hopefully Patrice will get it squared away. If not, we sure will. No worries.

    An update on my life: BBSHD 52V Radrover & "Frankenbike"

    @Mark in CA It's doing well. I didn't have the special tool when I first did the install, so I used a ball-peen hammer and brass punch and large flat head screwdriver to snug up the lock nut. I had the tool for the outer aluminum jam nut. When my specialty arrived I double checked the lock nut...

    An update on my life: BBSHD 52V Radrover & "Frankenbike"

    Hey guys! I know I've been quiet for about a week. That's because I've been working on my bike, and now, bikes plural. Last Friday I took apart my Radrover by removing the controller, battery, mounting plate, brake levers, throttle, cranks, and bottom bracket. That Saturday morning I installed...

    Radwagon worked for 5 miles :(

    @totalnovice RPB should pay. Just to find out what the issue was. End user shouldn't pay.

    Battery Upgrade/Backup

    @SpiderDice Mount looks different from pics. You could splice in and solder or crimp the plug, but then you could only use that specific battery

    @highway320 Glad it all worked out for you and that you're back riding again. Let us know how things go long term. Adjustment screw for brakes should be inboard in the center of the inboard pad via Allen wrench. Fine tune with barrel adjusters.

    Let's talk Lights..

    @SpiderDice Haha. No. The BBSHD I installed pushed me over 40. The controller goes back to lunacycle. It was for a sensored motor, and our Bafang motors are sensorless.

    BBSHD installed in my Radrover

    @flymeaway Install is all finished. Everything works and no issues yet. Went with full color display, orange grips, 42T chainring, and gear sensor. All running on 52V dolphin pack.

    Bafang G06 hubmotor kit

    @harryS Yeah, after some research I went with a Mongoose Malus fatbike. Less than $250 shipped, but has 7 speed and disc brakes.

    Topeak Bike racks for the Rad Rover- What works?

    @Joe Caronia I don't ever remember it being for fatbikes. I do remember it being the disc brake version. And that version fit fine.

    Cheap DIY Tail light that runs off the computer

    @mbirds Thanks for the write up. I'm tempted to do this to mine now.

    Topeak Bike racks for the Rad Rover- What works?

    @Joe Caronia The Super Tourist has larger supports for the the side bags so they don't hit your wheel. If you are just running with a top bag, then you should be fine with the explorer.

    Topeak Bike racks for the Rad Rover- What works?

    @Joe Caronia I've installed the Topeak Super Tourist DX rack on mine (Disc version) with the Topeak MTX TrunkBag DXP (trunk bag with built in saddlebags). Works great on a 2016 Radrover since all the mounting points were already a part of the frame. See profile pic.
