If you are looking for a hill climber, you MUST go to a real 750w Bafang motor. The power is insane! I would make it my first mod. I would highly recommend the 35A controller because you may burn up the existing one. That motor really draws some current, and the stock controller likely cannot...

Thanks AHicks! Yes, the first time I rolled the throttle, it literally shot out from under me. Fortunately I was able to control it without falling or wrecking the bike. Yes, I am just now beginning to play with the controller settings. I ONLY just became aware of the detailed programming...

You will have fun! I should note that you will need to make some adjustments and minor modifications to get a suspension front suspension fork to work, because as of now, as far as I know, there are no simple bolt on ones available for the radrunner. It was not that hard to do, but if it is...

I actually pedal a lot, but mostly for appearance. There is a fine line between bicycles and motorized vehicles on the beach in my town, so going through the motions of pedaling makes me look like a bicyclist! But of course, I would love to achieve more range. I have not even taken a long...

The brake disk slid right in, it was the other side which was a bit tight. Very minor adjustment needed to allow the wheel to spin freely. I love my suspension fork, and dollar for dollar was a good upgrade. I have no issue with my brakes being adequate, but I ride on flat land only here in...

I have been hinting and posting about my ongoing modifications to my RadRunner. Unfortunately, there is not that much out there on modifying the RadRunner, so much of this was trial and error. Many have said some of these things cant be done . Wrong! First off, I took my first ride last...

I cannot imagine any reason the .7" would matter, but will keep my eyes open for more discussion. I just received a new front wheel/hub motor combo, which I intend to mount in front of my Rad Runner for "front wheel drive assist" for beach riding in soft sand, and I need to buy a tire for it...

I purchased my new motor (and controller and display) from electro Bike World. I made the false assumption the cases were the same size,,and obviously they are not. I was able to wedge the motor into the space with a little persuasion, and it is snug! I too bent the bracket a bit to get my...

Thanks for your input, and perspective! I suppose you are right, but I just have never considered the possibility of actually "peddling" my e-bike, as absurd as that sounds! Now you have me intrigued. You clearly are quite knowledgeable on the topic, so I am curious, how...

I really think a derailleur would be a bit silly since it is a hub drive, and there is rarely a need to actually pedal the bike without motor assist, and extra gears would be rarely used, if ever. The only reason I installed the cassette was because it was the only way I could get the chain to...

I did not realize that! I did not recall seeing that option, but I will now shop for the freewheel! You are right, it took me a lot of time to get it all to work with the cassette! Thanks!

I have come to learn that the RadRunner does not really have a 750w motor, but a smaller 500 which may peak at 750w. Several online videos showing this, and it becomes obvious when you compare them side by side. So I purchased a new Bafang 750 hub motor, and am mounting it on my RadRunner. I...

THANK YOU! I never knew this was available. I have spent untold hours programming my controller with just that 2 page pamphlet, and the Bolton video. I cannot wait to dig in!

Bump. I too am interested in this! What advantages would there be to installing gear shift ability to a radrunner?

Has anyone contemplated adding a shimano 7 speed gear shift ability to the Radrunner? I received a 7 gear cassette with my new Bafang 750 motor, so all I think I should need is a handlebar mount shifter and cable, and a derailleur. I am contemplating installing the cassette on the motor, and...

Glad you got it! I have an aftermarket controller, and it must be in PAS 1 or higher for the throttle to work, so I guess i forgot how the stock one works!

Here is a longshot, but you must be in PAS 1 or higher for the motor to run. If set to PAS 0, the throttle or pedals will not engage the motor. Try PAS 1 or higher???

Excellent! Thanks for all of the suggestions and info!

So what? Essentially, they ALL are fancy mopeds...

I am wondering why there is no thread available for Bolton Bikes in the section dedicated to the many bike manufacturers? They have some pretty cool stuff, and probably sell more bikes than 90% of the companies listed?
