    Bye Bye

    Clearly we don't share perspectives, but that is cool! I see the "COVID World" as an opportunity. CLEARLY, if companies are back ordered 6-12 months, the "COVID World" is not impacting them too much! Granted, some activities like cruising, going to theme parks, flying and travelling, etc, are...

    Bye Bye

    I cannot argue with your premise. However, increased demand creates the need for manufacturing efficiencies, bulk parts purchasing creates lower price per unit for parts, and the ability for manufacturers to expand and increase capacity and do more R&D, which ultimately should increase...

    Bye Bye

    In retrospect, that was a pretty silly question! I have heard many bike companies are advertising vaporware (bikes they will never deliver), and the legit companies are backed way up! That is good in the long run, as the more why buy and use ebikes, the faster the state of the art will...

    RadRunner 1 Gear Shift Ability

    Yes, I have the 7 gear cassette installed. I ordered a Shimano derailleur, cable and shifter last night. I am low on handlebar space, so I also ordered a combo shifter/brake handle/shifter, and will give that a try. Lastly, I bought a couple of different derailleur mounts to try out. This is...

    RadRunner 1 Gear Shift Ability

    I have done or tried just about every mod possible on a Radrunner 1, and love what I have as a result. However, I see the new RadRunner Plus now has gear shifting ability. At first I thought that was a bit superfluous, but am beginning to "get it" and want to try getting there. I have seen a...

    rad rover pedal assist stopped working. any tips?

    Somewhere here I found a link to the Bolton (and EBW) controller. It is NOT the flimsey 4 page phamplet, but a detailed description of each and every setting. I recommend finding a copy of this and going from there. I have been able to fine tune my radrunner w/ upgraded 35a controller, color...

    Gear Upgrade for RadRunner

    Thanks for sharing. I too am about where you are, but I dd not need to make any real modifications?? (I love your machine shop and am envious). I ordered my 750w bafang motor from EBW, and I used the 7 gear cassette (freewheel?) that came with it, and it pretty much mounted right on (I did...

    Radrunner gear shift

    I had little problem removing the gear on my motor. However, I bought 2 socket wrenches from Amazon, which did not fit, went to 3 local bike shops, with no luck, but then had great success using a large pair of 90 degree needle nose pliers to twist the gear/nut off. Unlike others, I had very...

    Light up my life

    Coolbob, that looks like a nice light! I have never ordered from AliExpress. Are they reliable? How about shipping times? What types of payment do they accept? They certainly have a great variety of stuff. I like Amazon, because I can get it very fast, usually, but am willing to look...

    Light up my life

    Nice! I too have a bluetooth speaker, and my controller has a USB port on it, so I power my cell phone (playing Pandora) and my bluetooth speaker from it. My handlebar is quite crowded! Here is the push button switch I ordered. I simply ran the power cable down the vertical seat post...

    Light up my life

    Zombie, that is a bright light! However, I was looking to get away fro having another battery to charge. Mr. Jones, I have never had any issues with sparking when plugging in my headlight. The only way(s) it could spark is if the 2 conductors were somehow shorted. Those plugs are designed to...

    Light up my life

    By the way, the Rad upgraded light is only 500 lumens, and costs $50! The light I show is said to be 2000 lumens! It mounts right to the handlebar, or easily mounts where the stock light is. Bolton does not say how bright their headlight is, but it is $89!! AND, both are out of stock!

    Light up my life

    It works great for me. I simply run a wire and plug to the charging port, down the center frame tube, through the frame and to the front. I have installed a push button switch on my handlebar, which controls the 3 headlights. The tail light works fine through the 35A controller, but I don't...

    Light up my life

    I bought this item, because I will use them eventually. However, I am certain you can find fewer for a lower price! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CWQPPTW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Light up my life

    I have this light (actually 3) on my bike. It is SUPER cheap (cost: $18), but very good quality. 2000 lumens is very bright! The best part is it will handle a wide range of voltage. I chose to plug mine directly into the battery charge port, which is about 52v, and it works wonderfully. 3...

    RadRunner battery gauge

    I had not noticed before, but there is a series of green and red lights on my battery, which illuminate when the key is on, and the adjacent button is pressed. Is this battery gauge reliable? Is it linear? Is there a voltage remaining level associated with each green and/or red light? I have...

    Mod Radrunner 1 or Radrunner Plus?

    I only know what I have done personally, so I do not have any experience, thus no input on that! But thanks for the link, I will check it out. There is SO little out there for the Rad Runner, but I learn a lot from Rad Rover videos and discussions!
