I think it also spends on what model and year Rad you have. Subtle differences year to year until recently when Rad changed the Rover and City. I agree that functionality is the key, I had the KT display (and controller) on my Rover and really liked the options available and the ability to...

Multiple Repeat replacement of controller? :rolleyes: That shouldn’t happen, that’s maybe only a symptom . One replacements ok 🤷‍♂️, but as a 40 year + EE I would be considering other possibilities after (2) failures of the same part.

Is that what Rad sells a controller for, cheap. I sold my old 15A Rad Controller and lcd on eBay for $150:)

I think you are both confused ( not u Ahicks!) Think Drive by Wire , when you hit the gas pedal in your car there is no fuel line under your dashboard. There is a linkage to a mechanical regulator, new cars dispense with the linkage and send a signal to a computer which tells the motor what to...

I have a 2021 Juggernaut with fat tires, very pleased with it . It seems like your stunner might be slightly older. A lot of your concerns about the lighting were addressed on the newer bikes , although the specs didn't list a brake light mine came with one. The lights automatically illuminate...

If it looks better, that's an improvement. As the OP said many don't work on their bikes. DIY upgrades including aftermarket battery replacements not so much. IMHO give it some time, that new battery and motor will eventually be available elsewhere. With the amount of RAD owners there is a big...

The new City 5 and Rover 6 are definitely a big improvement in that regard.

The brake purchase was an impulse buy, Bolton had them on sale over the holidays in 2020. I owned my Rad Rover for about 4 months after I installed them, so only 500 miles or so on them. I never had to make any adjustment , and with the old tektros it was a once a month thing. You can also get...

I had the same experience with my Rover, took about 50 miles to bed in. I felt it stopped a little better and was quieter. No adjustment was ever needed.

The KT LCD has a voltage display option, once your battery is under 45 volts avoid PAS 5 and throttle. You can also set the cut-off a couple of volts lower don't run the battery down that low but it will prevent instantaneous current surges (throttle drops the voltage about 4 volts) tripping...

Walkers/ runners with earpods or headphones, I have a bike bell but I still proceed slowly if the body language shows their spatial senses are "offline".

Was it an e-bike? Most e-bikes have speedometers, the guys speeding on the trails here are on regular bikes. I stay under 15mph on trails, the extra speed (40 Kph) is nice for commuting.

From Google From January 1 2016, the only throttles legal within the UK’s EAPC legislation are those that assist the rider without pedalling up to a maximum speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph) – i.e. starting assistance only. If the rider is rolling – but not pedalling – faster than 6km/h, the throttle...

I don't think that rather small box is the controller, cables are too small . More line a junction or test box maybe . The second pic is a single frame of Court's review. I suspect the controller in the down-tube. Remove the cover plate on the underside. A 35A controller may be too large...

At some point Bolton or someone else will figure out an upgrade for the 6 . Since the controller is unknown/ hidden now and the display is different it’s difficult to see what would fit without looking like “kluge”. The speed restrictions started showing up last year , some 5 s have it too...

I have a Bafang Ultra, about 1500 miles on it so far. I have the max current reduced to 26Amps (about 1300W) During a typical 2-3 hour ride I stay under 500W. Max PAS/ throttle and low gear when the motor is spinning fast is the only time it's audible. I rarely use that combination. But...

Refinement and also somewhat slower so you won't hurt yourself.;). Be careful on those moms with strollers passing you. RE the original OP's comment on the Aventon hub-drive. It has nothing to do with the Bafang Motor , it's the Aventon's programming that was universally awful. Not sure if they...

Same motor as the new Rover 6 Plus. The cable entry on the brake disc side is better IMHO much easier to switch out the freewheel. As to the rest of the components until someone gets their hands on one we don,t know. I suspect it’s private label stuff. Bafang makes a motor with cable exit on the...

The no-name components is pretty common now, as they grow their business they will contract with the suppliers to brand it as a Rad part. My current e-bike has hydraulic brakes branded with the bike assemblers name, but they are Tektros. The price increase is somewhat justified, geared hub...

About time, looks much better.
