Rad Modifications / Re: Rad City Regeneration Query
June 22, 2020, 07:19:54 PM
Thanks for the input. I'll have to try the recommendation. I loosened the cable and was able to get a regen number at about half way from neutral. However, the brakes engage at the same time.
Ideally what I'm after is pulling the brake handle only a bit to just activate energy recovery, and then if I want to stop,pulling harder the pads engage the disk.
Right now, the brakes engage. Lots of energy lost on down hills that could be recovered just using the motor to slow you down.
I'll check with Rad tech because the recommendations aren't clear.

Rad Modifications / Rad City Regeneration Query
June 05, 2020, 09:26:52 PM
Hi
I have a new Rad City. I've found that the regen numbers on the watt meter display only show that I'm regenerating when I crank down hard on the brake lever.
Basically I show some regen only when I hit the brakes hard enough to stop. Effectively no power recovery at all.
I live in a hilly area so, ideally, I'd like to just tap the brake handle and be able to get some power back as I'm descending a hill.
Is there  a fix for this or am I stuck with no power recovery.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Bob

Hi, very happy to have found the forum. I bought a Rad City for the wife (who loves it) and am waiting now for delivery of my own Rad City in June. I also like the reg capability of the Rad City.
I live in Bellingham WA and these bikes are great for the hilly terrain. I've counted 15 so far, so it's clear these are great bikes for the money.
Looking forward to the great tips and information shared by the members
Bob
