Hi, Is Park Tool PPL-2 safe to use in an ebike motor that has some residue left from the original white grease? PPL-2 is a darker green thick'ish type of grease. I'm replacing a bad 500w with a spare and swapping a 750 to another wheel. Both seem dry inside. No local stores have the...

Installed the 750 OEM and only get about 24.8 top speed on flat ground. Def has more power than the 500 that got 22.2mph top speed. Speedometer jumps to up 49mph as soon as I stop pedaling or release the throttle and the torque is too much off the line, but still tweaking settings. Finally got...

Hi, I've got a Rad Mini 4 with a 35a upgrade and a 750 OEM upgrade. Also keep a spare wheel with a stock Rad 500 that I swap in the 500 for longer less hilly/technical rides. Still using the stock 48v 14ah battery. With the 750 installed, got 17.5 miles on a mostly dirt trail that was maybe...

Thanks. Yes, the KT-LCD8H. I've testing adjusting settings with the 500w installed to lower the power for PAS levels, but the only thing I can change that still allows the speedometer to work is the overall stop speed. Every other setting and it sticks at zero when the motor is engaged, then...

I've got a Rad Mini 4 with the upgraded 35a controller and display. I'm upgrading the motor to either 750 or 1000. Still have the original 48V 14.0Ah battery. How much quicker should I expect the battery to drain? I have a spare wheel with a 500w motor I can swap in for longer rides But would...

That's funny because I upgraded my router the same morning I ordered my rotors. :eek:

Now we're cookin !! You understand my way of thinking. LOL - Don't think I didn't consider it. I would love to see the absurdity of a 223 or 246 on my 20" wheels. o_O I'll be getting another bike before I go to 246. Rad sent a replacement rear wheel assembly with motor, tire and tube due to an...

The rotors finally arrived. Both the 203 and 223 are too large for the rear on the Mini. They rub the kick stand leg. Could remove the kick stand, but I need it. Searching for alternative kickstands. I installed both rotors on my old Cannondale's 26" wheels, but I'm trying to figure another...

It actually turned out to be the motor...or at least that's what Rad determined based on a video that shows the noise starting when the motor receives power and increasing respective to PAS level. They're shipping a new motor, but not just that, they're sending an entire wheel, with tire and...

xracer, If you're still out there, what specifically was the issue and how as it resolved? I installed a rear rack on my 2021 Mini 4, but also removed, and reinstalled the rear tire (to clean the rotor). I get rattle that clearly comes from inside the motor. It does not occur unless the motor...

Thank you for the alternatives and info. I don't mind waiting for a bit longer. Can't ride in this weather here now anyway. Your comment makes me feel a bit better. Just don't want to wait too long, then regret not ordering elsewhere. I'll give them till the end of next week to at least have...

Anybody have experience with ordering direct from Galfer? Placed an order 2 weeks ago for items posted as available. After they accepted my money, then sent an email saying some items are backordered till Feb 2 when they expect a big order. I called today (Feb.3) and they said they may get a big...

Built my last scrap parts bike when I was a kid. Got what I paid for. Thanks for the tire brand advice. Opinions are tire brand reliability and endurance is just one of the things I need to catch up on. I've gotten flats from rim slips and tears, rock concussions, weird metal scraps and a tiny...

I removed the 3" CST Big Boat tires the Mini 4 is currently shipping with 2 days after receiving the bike and installed the only 4x20" tire I could afford at the time. Mongoose. I regret it. Should have spent the extra $100 and gotten something better. They're too soft, can fold over on...

Hi, I'm planning to upgrade rotors on my Rad Mini 4 from the stock 180 to 223 up front and 203 in the rear. The 223 disc and post linked below were both suggested to me on this forum. This is the first time I'm upgrading rotors. Removed and installed enough of them, but never upgraded. I...

Thank you. Appreciate the input. I'm slicing a few mm's off the H bar with the rise in a couple minutes. I don't think the 660 would be wide enough, but the 710 is juuuuust a bit outside for me. Some more time to dial the positioning in better may be all I really need with regard to the rise.

Thank you m@robertson - Stem: I'm stuck with the stem rise on this bike. It's a hybrid\campground use bike for a couple years while I heal and hopefully get back to some mt biking before too long. Width: I like the feel of the 710 when cruising, but things get tight for me often enough that...

Thank you. Great info. I'm using this on a folding fat tire bike with a stem riser already included. Meant to mention that. It's not too high, but I've got a very slight feeling of riding a laid back motorcycle with raised handlebars....very slight. I got the longer 710mm bar (vs 660) and am...

Hi, Anybody have experience with both a flat Jones H bar and one with a rise? Does the rise make that much difference with regard to posture? Wondering if my might feel more confident with a flat bar. I'm 48 and have had back issues keep off my bike a lot over the years. But I want a fun ride...

Wow. So much great info from you both. Thank you !! I know I'll end up with some redundant info from YT, but the info here has been a more reliable starting point that sifting through videos. Knowing there will\may be other components that I may need to replace and having an idea of the some...
