Quote from: 6plusradrover on September 02, 2024, 12:18:27 PM... There is a little red light near the pedals that flashes when the pedal is moving forward. When pedaling, the watts will show up to 003 watts but again no assist or throttle.

3 Watts isn't very much. Even Walk Mode should burn up something on the order of 30 watts.

That red light is odd. It makes no mention of it at all in the Owner's Manual.
The fact that it flashes when the pedals turn sounds like it has to do with the cadence sensor. Is it something like 12 or so flashes per revolution?

QuoteBegan my ride home and about 5 minutes in, the throttle and pas kicked in and haven't had an issue since.

Wait, did you actually mean "haven't had an issue until now", or does it still work since that first time a few months ago?

How about Walk Mode? (Press and hold the Down arrow on the remote.) Does that work? I'm guessing that does not depend on anything related to the cadence sensor or twisting the throttle.
The brake handle cut-out switches would probably work the same as usual.

Somebody on https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/red-light-by-bottom-bracket-on-a-2018-rad-power-city-st-no-power.35362/ has this theory:
"It indicates the bike has power. I think it's intended to warn someone doing maintenance work that they forgot to remove the battery."

No it doesn't...

Rad sent me a different controller that mounts on the outside of seat post down tube instead of internally in the space in-between the pedals.  Just haven't been motivated enough yet to start the repair. The wife still has her old 1st gen 2018 Radcity step thru to ride. The 2023 Radcity step thru was her new and improved upgraded model and we were going to sell the older Radcity.  I'm thinking I made the right choice going for a Himiway Cobra Pro instead replacing my 2016 Radrover with the latest Rover model.

This does not give warm and fuzzies.

Great, please keep us updated.

Seems good so far (riding up and down my street). Full testing will be Monday morning on my commute to work, assuming I can get the PAS working, still needs some settings adjusted.  I will let you know how it goes.

I'm on my 3rd controller for the wife's 2023 Radcity step thru with under 300 miles. We live +5000 feet in the southwest; but, ride on level ground at around 14-18 mph max speed.  Long time Rad owner with two 2016 Radrover and replaced the controllers 4 times in first 2 years of owning the ebikes.  Zero issues with both Radrover controllers after 2018 (+4000 miles on each Radrovers).

I had a Rover 5 and day one I knew it had more power in there.  Within a few months I upgraded my controller.
It was a world of difference in the 2.

I highly recommend it. 

I recently sold my Rover.  It had over 6000 miles on it.  It served me well.

I replaced with an even stronger bike by a different manufacturer.  Once I got hooked on the RAD upgrades I wanted more.  So I switched.

Good job, well done. How is performance?

Does anyone in the U.K. know who repairs ebike batteries? I am on the south coast.

Just installed the G062 in the G063 casing.  Everything seems to be working just fine with the KT35.  Thanks goodness!  I guess the G063 will get put on the shelf for a while until someone figures out how to use it.
