$100 is a lot for that display upgrade. I personally prefer the minimal design of the controller that comes with the Mission, but I would be willing to upgrade for higher top speed. There seems to be some back and forth between the modding community and Rad about making the bikes go faster.
I read online that some of the 'hacks' for the rad runner are no long effective. So I wanted to know if purchasing the upgraded display would allow me to increase the top speed to 25mph, or if that exploit had been removed.
I reached out to rad and asked...
I've read online that upgrading to the LCD display on the radmission will allow me to increase the max speed of the pedal assist to 25mph. Is that true? is this considered a 'Hack'. I didn't see it mentioned on the LCD display upgrade page.
They respond with this...
Thanks for your email about upgrading your display. Unfortunately we do not recommend changing your Max Speed to above 20MPH or 32 KMH as the bikes are designed with this speed in mind.
On the upgraded LCD you are able to check your top speed in settings and the display has many great features like an odometer, speedometer and backlighting
So, they didn't really answer my question. I would have appreciated an answer like, 'yeah, you can, but we don't recommend it'.
