@ AHicks, why would you like a controller which is going to be limited by the downtube housing? My Juiced CCX has that system, but I prefer the old Rad which is just a simple attachment, ugly but practical. I hope the battery is not that proprietary like you said, if it is made by and are...

Rad Power just released the new generations of bikes starting with the RadRover 6. The significants changes are a new proprietary semi integrated battery, hydraulic disc brakes, new display and larger control buttons. I’m disappointed seeing this battery, since now it is going to be harder to...

Great mod, Dragon. Thanks for posting this very detailed description. I’ve done several mods successfully to my Radcity, with the remaining exception of the headlight. I’ve used a split “Y” Juliet cable to install a pair of stock headlights to double the output, clean and easy but it is still...

@ BKing. L1 it is confusing because it kinds of replicates what C12 does, which is setting the cutoff point for the controller, for minimum Voltage. So you can set it for Automatic mode, in which either C12 or the battery's BMS takes over, whichever hits first, or you can force it to be 20, 30...

Hey Mambo, Looks like it could be the sensor cable, did you inspect the pins, the cable, etc ? I ended up returning the KT kit to EBW because I did not see enough value for the $. The USB port has less power than the Rad and this controller could not handle my brighter headlight either. The...

Ideally, if you want to maximize your battery lifetime you use it between 80% and 20% of capacity. That means, you only charge up to 80% and don’t let it run lower than 20%. That 80-20% bracket seems to be the consensus with Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. The Flyer Upstreet6 ebike has this...

Good to know, that has some kind of water resistance, I have not read complains about it either. So, In your current bike setup you have the KT controller with a Bafang display or this one has a different controller? One thing I‘m gonna miss about the Rad stock display though is the big...

Sounds, good. Hope I can sell mine for that too. I got my City 4 earlier this year and you can still change the max speed limit to 24mph/40kph. One unexpected thing though was having the regen braking automatically triggered once you pass 24mph, that was definitely not Rad! Not sure if this...

I studied the manual, which is badly written plus the Bolton videos. There are a couple of settings which are different than the Rover, which is the gear ratio, the number of magnets and the regen braking. However, there is a setting which remains obscure, since the manual doesn’t explain nor...

I'm getting tomorrow Tuesday the KT-LCD8H & 35A Controller for my RadCity, aka Bolton upgrade. Bought them last Friday from electrobikeworld.com, great service and fast shipping. So I was thinking in making some tests and taking notes with the Rad's OEM hardware before Installing for comparison...

I got the caps, they are very useful to protect the bike plugs in some scenarios like when transporting the bike on your car, if the bike won't be used for a while, or when parking the bike outside and bring the battery indoors., etc However I don't use it daily since it is a minor inconvenience...

Both Rad and Juiced are running their headlights from the controller<--battery. This CCX headlights I think draws around 2 or 4 watts. I'd speculate the Rad OEM controller has a lower current cutoff threshold enough to run their OEM headlights, but yes I'd definitely try it in the KT controller...

Good to know, but there is not such a choice with this item, it is the same and only option with the Rad connectors, from Electric Bike World. I just ordered it and if it is the square wave one, I would just return it. I haven't heard complains about noise regarding this controller. Now I need...

On my City the suspension fork there is a sticker that says 27.5" wheel but I suspect that could be the Suntour fork sticker, nothing to do with the RadCity 4 frame. Officially Rad states the City as having a max load of 275lbs but I have read from a lot of users surpassing that amount no...

Good to know there is that alternative. One thing about faster speed though is that is not only about the motor, battery and controller. The bike has also to be strong enough to support the higher stress that grows along with speed. In other words, higher speeds come with another compromises, so...

Hi AHicks, yes I've contemplated to change the display and controller to fix some of these shortcomings, but that is a mod I don't feel conformable doing yet. I still want to keep the stock motor though nothing wrong with it so far. and if and when I replace it, it would be for a nother direct...

TLDR. Preference Rank, just like in the photo above. RadCity 4 Juiced CCX 2021 RadRover 5 Summary: In my view, the RadCity 4 is the Goldilocks of eBikes where functionality, reliability and value meet in a well balanced and versatile vehicle which can be used for almost any task, it is...
