    Radrunner (chilli with peppers)

    I agree completely. I ordered some of those spacers, but never got around to trying them out. I am deep into my derailleur installation and gear shift project, so I am glad I chose the 7 gear option. However, I would think it may be possible to utilize those spacers to be able to re-use the...

    Radrunner (chilli with peppers)

    The reason I chose to use the 7 gear part that came with my motor is for allignment. The single gear off of the original motor will not even come close to lining up. The gear set I used is identical to the one pictured in the far background of the photo above. I can think of no other way to...

    Radrunner (chilli with peppers)

    These bits are necessary to remove the cover on the Baffang motor. I would advise a squirt of penetrating oil, and let it sit an hour or so, and use an impact wrench if you have one, to remove the security screws. You DO NOT want to strip them!!! However, you will still need to remove the large...

    Radrunner (chilli with peppers)

    Aserio, Hello and I look forward to hearing about your progress. To address some of your concerns, let me share some of my experiences. To date, my bike is running perfectly. I am still trying to dial in the controller settings to my liking, and I am trying to devise a progression chart...

    Fun Little Features

    Not only that, but I run my bluetooth speaker and my iPhone (both mounted to the handlebars) from that outlet, and with Pandora blast toons while riding!

    Controller replacement gone wrong.

    Sodium, potassium, and lithium react violently with water! I'm curious why you did not remove the battery from the bike ASAP? Probably would have solved everything then and there.

    Better safe than sorry... what's your ride kit look like?

    This is all I have ever needed!

    Radrunner upgrade to TRUE 750w Bafang hub motor

    It ends up that step was not necessary, i just failed to notice there were available places on the Bolton forks to mount the fender struts. I mounted them to the axle, and needed extra length on the axle.

    Radrunner upgrade to TRUE 750w Bafang hub motor

    I ride on the beach a lot, and in soft sand, it is VERY helpful!

    Radrunner upgrade to TRUE 750w Bafang hub motor

    The only reason I lengthened the axle was to accommodate the fender struts. I ended up having the fender on backwards, and in fact there are built in mounting points on the Boltol forks, and all you must do is do some wire bending to match them up!

    Rad Mini StepThru, Sizeing re Handlebar Height

    Bolton dropped a video today on an adjustable bicycle stem/ handlebar mount. I have one (from Amazon) and it works very well. Perhaps this can help you?

    Battery cut out at high loads

    Thanks my friends. Yes, in retrospect it does sound like the BMS is cutting out for protection. Clearly I need another battery! I was surprised that the fuse did not blow as a first line of defense!

    Battery cut out at high loads

    I currently have a true 1000w baffang rear hub motor, with 35A controller in rear, and another 1000w front hub motor with separate controller (unknown amps) and throttle. I can nail the rear throttle with no issues. Same with the front throttle, INDIVIDUALLY. These systems run independently...

    2nd Round of my Rhino's (Rover) Upgrades for Long Distance riding

    As far as I can tell you and I are among the few who have done controller, display and motor. Highly recommended! I had to use an impact driver to break the motor case screws, as I saw that stripping them was a real concern. I must have lucked out, as I did not loose that axle key, and had...

    2nd Round of my Rhino's (Rover) Upgrades for Long Distance riding

    Looks good! I can feel some of your pain, having done a motor exchange myself. You MUST make your next change a swap for a 35A controller and color display. It mates so well with the better Baffang Motor! My speed increases are almost identical to yours (I am on a Rad Runner). You will see...

    motor quits upon initial throttle twist

    Thanks! That is the plan! By the way, do Baffang motors have temp sensors in them? I turned on that option, and I get a constant 59 degrees F reading, and I did not know if there was something else needed to activate that function?

    motor quits upon initial throttle twist

    Hello Forum, As you know, I have a RadRunner, with upgrades including (what is relevant only) EBW 35 amp controller and color display, and a true 1000w Baffang motor. I have played for hours with all of the settings, trying to get things right, and at one time all worked well. Never being...

    Upgrade battery options

    Yes I did mean batteries with cheap Chinese cells, and should have said "Battery packs with no name cheap Chinese cells". My understanding is that the only decent 18650 cells are offerings from Sony, Samsung, or Panasonic. Another newer brand which I will review further is Molicel.

    Upgrade battery options

    Thank you! I am just now learning the ins and outs of battery pack construction. I got Micah Toll's book on pack construction, but frankly, the parts costs is higher than I thought, and the repetitive tasks of construction do not appeal to me...
