Inoxa:  Looked up Area 13 for different display set up.  They have, but you have to buy controller, and, in any event, it only seems to work on the Rad Rover model.  Thanks anyway.

To reply to Jim and Handlebar; Yes, I removed the thin piece of plastic that covered the PAS display.  The bike is less than a year old, and it doesen't appear RAD has addressed the issue.  I don't have any issues with looking at two displays, other than not being able to read the PAD display most of the time; ( in bright sunlight as mentioned ).  My wife is getting a new bike this weekend; ( not a RAD ), and I notice that the display numbers are larger and it has some color in the display, advertising as being brighter.  I have no direct knowledge, but I think, generally the industry recognizes this as a problem, ( at least for some ), and are addressing it. I think there is an upgrade for some RAD bikes that includes a controller, and a single display, but I don't think it works with a RAD City.

From my non-techie viewpoint, I have to apologize and correct myself in stating that the two digital displays on my RAD City bike are LCD's, not LED's as I understand it.  So, basically black characters on a greyish background.  It is this configuration that I continue to have difficulty reading in bright sunlight, despite trying a variety of adjustments.  I certainly admire Handlebar's ingenuity in trying to provide shade for his displays with roofing felt, something I haven't tried.  It kind of astonishes me that with the degree of engineering that goes into these machines, the RAD folk can't figure out how to improve the illumination on the displays so that we users don't have to go to such extremes.

Jay:  Yes, this is the first thing I tried, and I continue to " play around with ".  No discernible effect.  Read somewhere else on this site, that the pedal assist display is particularly " dim ", and I would agree.  I live in California, and prior to this, Arizona; so lots of bright sunny days.  I love the ride, but it is frustrating to try and guess what level of pedal assist I am in.  The speedometer display is less troublesome, but still not great.

Hello Rad City Users:  This topic may have been addressed before.  I tried to research as I am new to site, but it says previous discussions were too old.  So my question/concern is related to the brightness level on the LED displays on the Rad City.  There are two displays.  I live,and have lived, in very sunny climates.  My vision is fine, but I have a lot of difficulty reading the displays on bright sunny days which are the norm where I live.  I have adjusted the brightness levels to max, peeled off the celephane covers, adjusted the angle of the display to me when riding; all to no avail.  For pedal assist levels, I basically have to guess what level I am in by the feel of the resistance. I know other electric bike manufacturers have addressed this issue, and I am also aware that Rad is aware of the problem as I have spoken to one of their reps about it.  Part of their response is that the design for a lot of their bikes took place in Washington State where the no. of bright sunny days is at a premium.  I have no problem reading the displays on cloudy days.  Is anyone aware of any upgrades for this model either hybrid or offerred by RAD?  Thanks.
