RadCity / Rad City power issue
May 07, 2023, 12:46:16 PM
My wife has the Rad City 5, probably 2 years old, with a Bolton controller. All has worked well until recently.
Occasionally, she will have no pas or throttle power for a second or two, then all is well. I can?t get Rad help due to the controller.
So could it be that the battery is beginning to fail, or the Bolton controller is the issue?
Any ideas would be appreciated!

My wife wants to put pin stripes on her bike, but the entire areas are covered with the logo. Anyone know what brand makes the comparable white?

General Chat / 2nd battery usage question
January 30, 2022, 02:46:58 PM
I purchased a 2nd battery just to have one. Storing inside at 75% charged, per long term storage recommendations.

Question is, should I use it occasionally then store back at 75%?

Thanks for any advice.

General Chat / Battery meter issue when applying brakes
January 05, 2022, 06:34:29 PM
This is kinda odd, but when my wife applies the brakes on her City5, the color bar goes all the way down to black and back to orange after release. Happens even when fully charged.

Anybody experience this? Never happens on my Rover5...

Thanks for any input..

Anyone else have this issue?
After a full charge, it won't power up unless I put the charger back on. It then powers up and each time after that until the next charge and I have to repeat the process. Rad stuck it to me as I added an aftermarket controller. Battery is 8 months old. BTW, my wife's battery on my bike does NOT have the same issue, so it's got to be my battery?
Any ideas? I'd buy another battery but like most Rad items, they are outta stock!

General Chat / Rover5 will not power on after charging.

Anyone else have this issue?
After a full charge the only way I can power up is by plugging in the charger again, like a jump start. It powers up and usually don’t have to do it again till the next charge. I don’t have this issue when I swap out my battery with my wife’s battery.
Less than 8 months old. Rad won’t warranty it due to the Bolton controller I added. I’d buy another one but as usual, they’re outta stock!

RadRover / Bolton 35amp controller. Any issues?
February 02, 2021, 11:57:18 AM
Just got my RR5 and thinking of changing out the controller. All I read about the Bolton is positive. Has anyone had any issues? Hate to void the warranty this early in the game

RadCity / 2020 Rad city 3 step thru and Bolton upgrade
February 01, 2021, 05:08:42 PM
Anyone put their 35amp controller own their rad city (2020)?
#11
Bolton's website states they've not tested their 35amp controller on the Rad City. They do state some customers have said it works, but some adjustments in the settings may be needed.
Anyone out there put it on the new Rad City version (2020)?
Thanks
