Radcity trick

[BKing]

If you are riding with someone that weighs less than you or you just want a little extra wattage here is what you can do. While you are pedaling note the wattage, give it a one second blast of throttle, don’t stop pedaling, note the wattage after it settles down. It will be a little more. It resets when you stop pedaling.

This works on both our 2019 Rad City.
It is just useable in PAS 1,2, 3 when under 19mph or so. PAS 3 gets to 19+ so fast it’s really just useful for 1 and 2.
Please test yours and report back.

Another bonus, you can get more wattage at speeds over 19.7 using PAS 3 vs PAS 4 or 5. Even with the speed limit bumped up it still starts rolling off in power around 20. Not sure if this is a motor characteristic or the firmware.

That's an interesting enough idea for me to try. Don't even need to be riding with anyone. Just in conditions where a half step like that may provide "just enough" without being "too much"!
