    Radrover Broken Spokes

    Well after 2000KM I finally broke a spoke on my Radrover. I've removed the broken spoke, the wheel isn't too out of true. Two questions for you guys.... How urgent should I get the spoke replaced? How hard is it to find a spoke of this gauge and size? Would a LBS carry the type I need?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    So I finally tested out the 52V 17.5ah AliExpress battery upgrade. Made it in to work with full bars left on the battery. Normally I make it in with 1 or 2 bars left. But on the way home, the battery levels were quickly dropping down and made it home with 0 bars remaining. So I'm guessing the...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Here's a few photos from the install.... Note the 2 screw mount location, feels solid but I still worry.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Yeah, they must have changed the mountain plate. The new battery and its mounting plate are built better than the Radrovers, which was a nice surprise. In that photo it looks like you made a 3d printed controller mount, can you share the schematics, it looks like a solid mount.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Finally installed that 52V 17.5ah AliExpress battery onto the radrover. Holly hell does this thing fly now. The battery upgrade yielded a slight bump in torque and a faster top speed. It's easy to get up to 50 km an hour on flats cruising pedaling with PAS3/4. @thatdude902 were you able to mount...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    The Radrover stock + all the upgrades is still cheaper but the juiced bike has a 1000w motor vs 750w.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    On the product page it lists a number of connector options you can request, which one did you request? None of these look compatible. I wonder if I could request one that fits our controller!?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    I went ahead and ordered myself the 40A version. Thanks for the link, I hope the installation process isn't too bad. Time to learn how to solder.

    Based on that calculation, then wouldn't it be almost double the watt/hours? Does that equate to double the energy? If so that's fantastic.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Can you elaborate more on the specifics of the installation and soldering? Any idea how much more capacity in terms of distance this battery gives you over the stock Radrover battery? Also any idea what difference in performance the two amperage options would equate too? It says the 40A is for...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Finally took my 2018 Radrover out for a longer ride today to really test out the motor, controller and freewheel upgrades. Wow. I've finally reached the performance I've been seeking since the first ride with this bike (i was a little disappointed when I first got the bike). The motor (on top...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    I'm so proud of you. She's an absolute beauty. You've taken the Radrover to the performance. I've always been curious about a 52V upgrade but have been too afraid to start soldering. 1) Are you able to provide any insight into how just the battery upgrade affected performance? 2) Was the...

    Upgraded my brake calipers w/ TRP cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes

    Nice it almost looks stock. Damn your cockpit is loaded up, is that a clock on the left side?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Yeah looks the same, thank god for the rear derailleur guard. Did you notice any difference in torque between the motors or just top end performance?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Thanks for the prompt response, I wasn't sure if these motors have a break in period or I installed it incorrectly. It's probably just me over thinking things. Yeah I went back to the stock tires as well. I'll go with the 29" setting. Only other issue I had was that the axel coming out of the...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    @thatdude902 What is your diameter setting set to in the new controller? Also what tires are you using? I have finally installed the new freewheel and tested out the motor. It's seems to be working well, just took it around the block to test with the battery at 25% so not fully tested yet. I am...
