Hi! Does it not say "Bafang" on the motor? Afaik the RR1 has a 250w Bafang motor, but I do not know which one specifically and have been unable to find details, same as when I was looking for details for my RR2 motor..
The "20-210622 0617 1" looks to me like a date: 20. to 21. June 2022, 6:17 am. Did you buy the bike around those dates? Not sure about the 1 in the end though.  :D

I have no idea what the numbers mean. However, I suspect they are some code either Bafang uses to identify which of their motors go to Rad bikes or they are used by Rad to determine where the bikes are sold. Ie: your bikes in the EU would be coded different from those sold in the USA or Canada. Each of us has different maximum wattage allowed on our bikes.

The motors are all virtually the same. 500 Watt motors nominal and about 900 watts maximum. It doesn't mean they can't handle higher wattage, just that they can operate at that level for long periods of time without overheating. The difference is in the controllers. EU are set for max 250 watts, Canada 500 watts and the USA is 750 watts. Other countries may be different.
