Hi, I am in Iowa. I ordered the plus on Sept.29th and it was delivered on Dec.2nd. the box was torn apart, huge rips and holes...my heart sank. The delivery driver was even shocked, or said he was...but under the carnage was a beautiful new ebike, not 1 scratch and no missing goodies, whew!
I upgraded the controller to 35amp model from EBW, also a new LCD to go with it, really nice color display that is easy to understand and program. I also put the center console from Rad and an old swing arm bag from my motorcycle. The console is raised up, the bottom hole in the console is in the top hole on the frame, I drilled a third lower hole in the console, yes those are tennis balls under the console, perfect fit and stable. I have a different long seat to put on yet, it will snug up to the console, and also a side mirror.
I am not so hip on silver color so I might plastidip it the pearlized metalic graphite color when I put a new set of sprockets to the rear wheel after the chain is broken in and cleaned up for a wax job. I also have a fatty 20"x4" tire for the rear.
So far it is fantastic! I have tried different settings and I am getting it dialed in slowly but surely. Still getting the rear derailleur just right, the breaks also needed initial adjustment, all to be expected on a new self assembled bike. It makes it up to speed fast and I can go 30mph on flats in 7th on PAS5. I haven't tried throttle only distance test, I like to peddle and keep forgetting to just use throttle for the distance test. After the initial three 12 hour charges I have used the voltage to estamate a charge time to hit 80%. It's been easy to charge just a couple hours after a ride and hit that 80%, each time my voltage after a ride is around 20 to 25%. So far everything is great. Here are some pictures. I ride year round.
Go RadRiders!
