    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    I'm installing the new 750W from AliExpress. Pretty clear to see Radrover is cutting corners with their motor selection. It may run at 750W, but I doubt its at 750W nominal. I'm still waiting for the new freewheel to get here, after that I'll post some details on the upgrade.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    My 750w from AliExpress arrived today, took 7 days to get to Canada from China. Package was poorly wrapped. Picked up the security screws to open the case. I'm all set to install now, just waiting on the new freewheel to get here. Might just try to take off the existing freewheel. Not sure I...

    Abus Bordo GRANIT X Plus 6500

    You should be fine, I find with the 120cm version, there is plenty of room to spare.

    Abus Bordo GRANIT X Plus 6500

    Its 120cm in length, according to amazon. I should clarify, that I have the Abus Bordo 6000 BIG. There is also an Abus Bordo 6000 (non big) which is smaller.

    Looking to replace my Rad Rover suspension fork with a rigid fork.

    Abus Bordo GRANIT X Plus 6500

    I have the Abus Bordo 6000. Works really well with my Radrover 2018 model. It's more than adequate. Only downside is it's pretty heavy. I have it mounted on my head tube, off to the side with velcro straps. It sits perfectly there. Let me know if you want to see a picture of how I have it mounted.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Thanks @thatdude902 - i'm having trouble finding some that I can get to Canada in less than a month. Did you ever consider swapping out the crankset? I wonder if that might yield more options? A smaller crank might even still be compatible with the dual chain ring guard!? edit: I ended up...

    Do you think this fw would be compatible?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    You are the man! Thanks for breaking it down so clearly with expected cadence and speed. It really helps to make an informed decision. It sounds like it makes the most sense then to keep 42 tooth crank (and the dual chainring guard) and replace the freewheel with a 11 - 28 fw or something...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Fantastic info, thanks for following up. Few questions: How did you get the freewheel off? What is a 11-28 fw? Is that the same number of gears as the stock cassette but just different sizes? Did you also buy the Bolton controller upgrade and did the new motor connector fit with the Bolton...

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

    Not yet, I've been close to pulling the trigger but I'm in Canada so the cost is slightly higher for me, making it a harder decision (conversion rate/import fees/longer shipping time). I'm waiting to see others experiences with the short throw adapters.

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

    The HY/RD's are a nice upgrade for the Radrover because then you get hydraulic braking without losing the built in engine cut off sensors in the stock brake levers. The HY/RD's are cable actuated but use hydraulic fluid, you just bolt them onto your rear frame using your existing cables. The...

    Looking for after market street tires for RadRover

    It will indeed fit. Just be sure to get the right size inner tube, don't use your stock inner tubes, I used a pair of Kenda DH 26"x2.4-2.75 And you'll likely want to use a PSI higher than 20, to push the tire out evenly over the rims. I'm finding 35 PSI works nicely. You'll see that once the...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Completely agree. It's already saved me once from escaping an intersection. I hit 1500W today going up a hill while carrying my child in the child seat.
