    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Smart move ;) I would still watch the video, it will help you dial the settings in. I had to change the C1 setting to 3 to get PAS working.

    Looking for after market street tires for RadRover

    Oh yeah, I forgot to change wheel diameter. I have it set to 29". I'll change it to 26" and see what it looks like.

    Looking for after market street tires for RadRover

    Commuted into work (45km) with the Hookworms installed @ 35 PSI. These things are a dream. Super quiet, so much less rolling resistance. I had an extra 10% battery remaining than I normally would on this commute because of the increase in efficiency. They do look a little funny with the stock...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    So i finally took the Radrover out for on my commute with the upgrade and I can report back a more detailed comparison. With stock controller: I would always be in PAS 5, my wattage would sit just shy of 500W (canadian version). I would constantly shift gears to ensure I could sustain a...

    Here are the cable interfaces from the upgraded controller, do they match your 2016 model?

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    I was wondering that myself. I suspect its not as sealed as the stock controller. The stock controller has like a thick layer of waterproofing inside of it. This newer controller is built quite well, I think it would be ok in very light rain, but I wouldn't take it in moderate to heavy rain...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    I just tested this a few minutes ago, went uphill, full throttle and it peaked at 1440W. It doesn't sustain that level for long as the bike will accelerate and the power draw lessens. It's quite impressive to feel this level of torque.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Yeah setting C5 controls the Maximum Controller Power output, I'll adjust that as needed.

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Well I just installed and tested out my Radrover Upgrade kit from Boltonebikes.com. It's a 35a controller and I also chose the KT-LCD8H color display. My 500W Canadian 2018 Radrover absolutely flies up hills now. I recommend this to any Radrover owner who wants more power, especially if you...

    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    Is there any counter steering with the Vee8 when the side of the tires are contacting the pavement when turning?

    Looking for after market street tires for RadRover

    I ended up ordering a pair of Maxxis Hookworms from canadabicycleparts.com, really looking forward to testing these out. Will report back with photos and how they fit/look with the stock full fenders. Also ordered a pair of the Kenda DH 26"x2.4-2.75 tubes. I wonder if my Mr Tuffy liner will...

    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    180lb rider 6" tall, I run my original tires at 25 PSI for mostly pavement. I find I can move much quicker at the higher PSI.

    Looking for after market street tires for RadRover

    Hey guys, I use my 2018 RadRover mostly for commuting, can anyone recommend a good set of tires for pavement, looking for... speed low noise no auto steering (where the bike pulls when you steer) I bought a pair of Origin8 Supercell tires thinking these would be ideal but there is way too...

    Voltbike Yukon vs Radrover

    I had the same dilemma in 2018 and ended up going with Rad Power Bikes because of the customer service. I was communicating with Voltbikes, inquiring about details and I got the feeling it's just one guy in a warehouse trying to run a business. They were slow to respond and didn't seem to have...

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

    Yeah I was eyeing these and I may still get them. When its just me on the bike going downhill or on flats, I'm stopping sufficiently but when I have the child seat and my kid onboard(another 45lbs) I feel like I need the extra stopping power. Nice to see them on Amazon. I was also considering...
