    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Bolton Upgrade kits are available again. I'm going to wait a few months until the controller in his kits include a harness to power factory lights on 2019 models.

    Anybody upgraded derailleur to Deore XT Shadow RD+?

    I should have looked for the first three online before asking. Medium cage RD-M8050-GS is expensive, costing over $200. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071GDH1GN/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&smid=AMY4I718ZUBOU not sure I need to spend this much. Long cage RD-M8100/8120-SGS are both more reasonable...

    Anybody upgraded derailleur to Deore XT Shadow RD+?

    I've been running Shimano Ultegra groupset on my SOMA roadbike for years, and I like upper tier derailleurs. Want to upgrade the derailleurs on both our bikes, Mini Step & Rover. Does anybody know which one of these would be the proper Deore XT Shadow RD+ derailleur to install? RD-M8120-SGS...

    Why I won't buy another Rad Power bike (aka support your local bike shop)

    Here's my take on the subject: I wanted to DIY build with BBHSD &/or TSDZ2 750w Mid Drive Kits. Would have built on my wife's Jamis Citizen, and I would have purchased one of these SOMA frames to built on: Wolverine, Double Cross Disc, or Riff. I also considered purchasing a Jamis Renegade to...

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    Wife & I have enjoyed riding our bikes daily since we received them four days ago. We can confirm what others in this thread have said relating to power, we tend to ride with PAS set to 2 or 3 most of the time. These bikes are a lot of fun to ride! Lexie, my 3.5 yr old 80 pound American...

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    One box was beat up pretty bad, the other was fine. Bicycles were perfect. No damage, they went together without issue.

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    I have decided not to worry about her Mini. I feel confident PAS setting 5 is more than enough for her. My Rad Rover will be modded over time, LOL.

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    I have a Fluke for use at home, attended an almost 700 hour USAF Aircraft Electrical System Tech School, and worked on USAF electrical systems for over 20 years. I can find my way around a multimeter & an oscilloscope. Also went through a several hundred hour USAF Pneudraulics & Hydraulic System...

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    I was really worried she would fry her motor within a year, so this information is very helpful. I'm very happy to learn this motor takes more abuse than the mid drive kits I had been researching. Thank you.

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    Meant LCD8H, but wrote LHC8H because I work on analytical equipment in Light Hydrocarbons plants, and LHC8 is a plant near me, LOL. It might have been the Canadian bikes where I saw RadPower was restricted to 11 or 12 amps, which makes sense based upon the figures you supplied. It is Bolton's...

    Radrover Controller & Display Upgrade Kit

    Does anybody know if Bolton has plans to add light pigtail to wire harness from the controller into his upgrade kit? I would like to get the kit (when available again) for my 2019 RadRover, but will wait if light pigtails are to be added.

    Upgrading Rad Mini Step-Thru power via motor or electronics?

    My wife's bike will receive abuse from not using proper gear selection when starting from a stand still. Her bike must remain easy for her to control. While I would like for her bike to be able to have modest speed/torque increase for crossing intersections from a stand-still, her bikes motor...
