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

    Just wanted to report back, that after using the TRP HY/RD hydraulic brakes for a few months now, I can say they were worth the upgrade. They require 0 maintenance and are stopping the bike and me (180lbs) really well. They are also dead quiet if you keep your discs and brake pads clean...

    False marketing for motor power on rad power bikes?

    Well guys, it looks like we finally have a plug and play controller upgrade for the Radorover (2017-2018) I bought my Radrover in Canada, so my controller is throttling the motor to 500W (Canadian laws), I tried to a US controller from Rad but obviously they said no. SO boltons upgrade should...

    Batteries: Less charging cycles or using less battery capacity?

    The biggest tip I can give you is to not leave your battery fully charged for longer than a week if you can prevent it. When fully charged your battery cells will degrade faster than if they weren't fully charged. Ideally you charge it the night before you need it. If you're not going to be...

    Keep up the great work man, it got me to pick one up and I'm awaiting my Origin8 tires. Absolutely loving my Radrover. I've done some of my own customizations and perhaps I'll upload a video/forum post and share with you guys.

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

    I bought a 2018 Radrover in July 2018. I wasn't happy with the brakes, I had to adjust them every few weeks, the stopping power felt lacking, especially with my 4 year old in the rear seat. I read that the TRP HY/RD were a good upgrade to get the benefits of hydraulics but without having to...

    How To Downgrade/Reprogram RadRover Controller Firmware?

    Has anyone made any progress on manipulating the controller yet? Or even replacing it? I own a 2018 Radrover in Canada, the motor is labeled 500W with a sticker and likely held back by the controller to be compliant in Canada. I suspect it was cheaper for them to just buy 1 motor and program it...
