That's obvious. But maybe some of the ~99% of Rad owners with substantially unmodified bikes want to better understand how their bikes work and share observations about recent production changes and how they might affect the capabilities of their bikes without being derided and told to just...

Then what would you call the wire at the lower left of legsofbeers picture of a current (2019-20) generation Rad OEM controller? It is rectangular (NOT a round Higo or Julet type), has 4 open female connectors/pins underneath a tethered rubber protective cap and it CONNECTS TO ABSOLUTELY...

In the photo of the Rad OEM controller posted by legsofbeer, the suspected mystery/programming connector is the one at the end of the the wire on the lower left (one of the five on THAT end, I forgot to mention the two wires on the other end of the controller).

On my June 2020 shipped 2020 RadMini 4 it's in the rats nest bundle of wires tie wrapped underneath the bottom bracket (it may be in a slightly different place on other models). It's on the end of one of the shorter wires (5 of them if I remember correctly) coming directly out of the controller...

I suspect the change cut-in may have occurred over a span of several months for the different models. I'm not on FB either so my exposure is also limited. I suspected the controller as the thing being programmed largely because it has that suspicious "extra" connector. I worked in manufacturing...

Probably from multiple people like us who have reported here and elsewhere that the top speed hack no longer appears to work with Rads delivered from roughly June 2020 on. Attempting to cheat by entering a bogus wheel size will cause the odometer/speedometer readouts to change (reporting gross...

Salsa Cycles has offered a similar color on their Mukluk fat bikes. There have been minor shade and name adjustments over the years, mine was called "You Can't See Me Green", and I've lost it at least three times (kind of like losing ones car in a parking lot, which I also do). Most people just...

I hope you have better luck with the light light bracket in your rack kit than I did with the one they sent with my RadMini rack. My light didn't come close to fitting under the rack, the light pivot point on the bracket was way too close to the rack, no room for the light. The pictures in the...

Nor I. I wanted to mount the spare tray to my rack so I could carry a spare Rad supplied OEM battery that could be cold swapped on the road (NOT switched, the bike is still under warranty). I figured that if anything happened to the new battery, I didn't want Rad claiming that any warranty I...

Absolutely, and they know it. To clarify, my battery tray is not corroded (yet), and I have used dielectric grease and protective caps when the battery is off the bike from the beginning. I wanted the tray to be able to carry a spare Rad brand battery (IF they ever become available as spares...

Thanks but my experience with Ali on things like this is dismal, with more than 50% of orders being defective, grossly misrepresented, very late or never showing up at all. I try not to buy from them any more unless all else fails. Rad makes a big deal about things like "Our bikes are balanced...

FWIW, I have tried to get Rad to sell me a replacement battery tray (with socket, cable and connector) and they wont. I got some kind of gobbledygook answer about it being a "discretionary part" which apparently means thy could provide it, but wont. They suggested I check on social media for a...

Hey man, I usually get paid for critiquing adverts (NO r/choosingbeggars freebies, as in NONE, ZERO, ZILCH!)

M6 x 1.0 x 20-25 mm long on my 2020 RadMini 4, Rovers should be the same.

To each his own, this idiot spends 80+% of his time in PAS 1 & 2, between 13 & 17 MPH. I look at PAS 1 merely as compensation for the extra weight of the Ebike, sort of like riding an unpowered bike, good for exercise. It's also reduces the herky-jerkiness when negotiating singletrack or more...

I dunno, the other day a lady came up to me in a parking lot and asked, "Is that one of those electrocycles they give away on The Price is Right"?, so I guess Ebike ownership is now within the grasp of anyone who has access to a television.

My June 2020 batch RadMini 4 behaves the same way, no joy!

Tektro Aries E10.11 pads are the correct ones, and the sets supplied by Rad are Tektro factory carded and DO include the spring clips. FWIW, the Rad website lists the pads supplied on their bikes as being metallic which would be A10.11s, which have been virtually impossible to find lately. The...

I know the "Power Meter" section of the display on the 2020 RadMini 4 isn't NIST calibrated but I have no reason to believe it grossly over exaggerates what the bike is doing, so; Assuming a relatively fresh off the charger 48V nominal battery is somewhere between 48 and 54 volts, if my display...

An eccentric bottom bracket would have been another (more expensive) chain tension adjustment scheme, but having had bikes using all methods, there's a lot to be said for the way spring loaded tensioners and derailleurs take up developing slack in that they give the longest interval between...
