    Radrover gearing

    Yes, a lot of work, but I figured I would have to drill out the reg. park tool anyway...and most bike shops were closed when I started... I didn't think the Thorsen brand sp socket would give me that much resistance.... but, at least drilling it out kept me warm on that cold morning... I...

    Radrover gearing

    Update on the spark plug socket repurpose... It was a dark, and windy Sunday morning... I pulled out my old Craftsman tool box.. It contained few old style sp sockets to choose from (older sp's need a 13/16" deep socket ... most new cars use 5/8" sp's) Anyway they were all 3/8" drive sockets...

    Huge battery upgrade from Kinaye

    I think that is just a product line promo catalog... directed at wholesalers?? I tried a search for that motor set-up for a single freewheel and came up empty.. Maybe Sondors had it custom built, he was there close to the factory, I thought I read he was close to the Bafang factory while in China??

    Huge battery upgrade from Kinaye

    JS, Sorry to hear that... but the i thought the motor was a variant of the G06.350.DC I think it has plastic gears.. Apparently soft plastic gears in your case.. My RadRover has a Hangtai 500-750w with straight cut metals gears in a 30w oil bath... (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Huge battery upgrade from Kinaye

    JS, Maybe a new Sondors Fast Times upgrade thread is in the cards.. Save this one for battery news... Your old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. he can fix it.

    Huge battery upgrade from Kinaye

    jk, You know I'm messing with you a little ( re: Spicoli pic) It's hard to keep up with your mods... I have a RadRover, comes with a Kingmeter display, I have the mph set to max ... little under 25. It also displays wattage and when I goose it, I have seen almost 800w.. I'm sure if I...

    Huge battery upgrade from Kinaye

    I was under the impression the Sondors hub motor is wired for 36v.? But looking at the Bafang spec sheets it lists 36/48v for all their RM GO series motors... Are you worried about overheating and did you say or think to yourself, "Bafang that's cool" after trying it out?? I look forward...

    Radrover gearing

    Px, I recently this YT video where the guy used a spark plug socket instead of a park tool... just wondering if it will fit over the RR axle and motor wire plug...(3/8" drive will need to be drilled??) I'm sure many of us have duplicate spark plug sockets we could repurpose and save a...

    Radrover gearing

    Px, Thanks for finding that video... Both our RR's were set to max 40kph or 24.85mph although 20mph+/- seems about max with my 225lbs tucked in..throttle only... And now I know how to turn the lights on... thanks again...

    Radrover gearing

    My RR didn't come with a detailed instruction manual for the display... I'm pretty sure there is a way to program tire diameter and maybe increase the mph limit?? Pxpaul, if you have not corrected the speedo... your mph will be reading slightly low.. With Speedster tires I think it will read...

    Radrover gearing

    Thanks Paul, Found them... looking forward to your ride report... That 32t gear seems like it will be pretty low... and an 8t jump from the next gear.. it must work or they wouldn't make them... I did notice the current 28 t low gear wasn't low enough for my needs... maybe 30t is enough??

    Radrover gearing

    Paul, Great mods, I was thinking of changing my freewheel too... I did not think 11 was possible... Where did you get the 11-32 ? So, in high gear how fast are you going... is the motor even helping .. must be way above 25 mph.. What park tool did you drill out?? since I ride mostly on...

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    Maybe Sondors donated the bikes that haven't been delivered to his "customers/clients" ... Certainly, IGG must know or can find out how many bikes were ordered... So what % of bikes (assuming they don't self destruct in the next 5 minutes) delivered would be considered a successful CF...

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    What percentage of bikes have been delivered? Can anybody really answer this question? Do we even know the total # of bikes ordered or built??

    I agree, buying direct (from China) can have it's advantages... but have you tried to return anything?? Or, do you just buy another and hope the next one is better??
