    Geared hub motor for RadCity with Bolton kit

    I hope you find a buyer - sounds like a great deal. I decided to do what I should have done in the first place. I sold my RadCity ST and ordered a RadRover ST. I already have the Bolton upgrade controller, and eventually I'll get a true 750w Bafang to go with it.

    Geared hub motor for RadCity with Bolton kit

    Okay, that makes sense. I guess I should just ride with the 35a controller and stock motor for a while. I already know it adds a lot of torque, but we're having a cold snap here and I haven't been able to ride more than 15 minutes or so. It'll warm up again pretty soon and I'll have a better...

    Geared hub motor for RadCity with Bolton kit

    Thanks @harryS - that information about the dropout size is a critical piece I was missing. I know now what to look for as far as the mounting width goes. @AHicks I had been looking at that Amazon listing but I can see now that the 750 won't fit my bike. I haven't found any true 750 geared...

    Geared hub motor for RadCity with Bolton kit

    Matching up wires shouldn't be a problem if necessary - I've built and designed multiple 3D printers, and have a background in RC. In a previous life, I was an aircraft electrician in the Army. That said, I'd prefer to have a plug and play solution. The Bolton kit is designed to be plug and...

    Geared hub motor for RadCity with Bolton kit

    I have a 2020 RadCity ST3. I really love the bike except for the lower torque of the DD motor. I just installed the Bolton 35a controller and really appreciate the better acceleration and climbing ability. I think a geared hub motor would really take it over the top, but don't know enough to...

    RadCity Upgrades

    When you said "about 1100," was that a reference to how much the whole setup cost, including the electronics? Since I have the electronics, how much do you think it would cost just for the motor laced on a 26" wheel? Do you know if there are any other geared hub motors that would work? I'm not...

    RadCity Upgrades

    Thanks for the info on the MAC motor. I just got the Bolton 35a kit today and I'm really happy with the performance. I'll keep an eye out for the MAC 12t but for now I'm really enjoying my pumped up RadCity!

    RadCity Upgrades

    Which MAC motor did you use? Were you able to use all the same components - brake disc, derailleur? Did you have to do anything special to get it to fit? Very interested in getting a geared hub for my RadCity.
