do you have the original light that came with RAD bike? some aftermarket lights can burn out the new controllers.

DickB I've been contemplating either an upgraded controller and display or simply get the EggRider. I'm going to make my final decision if/when I have to. For my purposes the stock motor is enough but I want more hill climbing ability, especially when loaded with cargo.

You don't have to have RAD batteries because RAD didn't make the batteries. They very similar to the Shark batteries if not a Shark battery. The main thing you need to take into consideration is who makes the battery cells. Stay with high quality cells like LG, Panasonic, and Samsung. And if you are using batteries as you posted they do need to be the same 48v.
Take a look at the following video if you want more power and speed.

shit man, this aging punk rocker feels like the king of the world when cruising downhill at 30 mph. i'm not sure i can handle more power and speed. lol
that being said, once I figure out the battery part (electrical stuff is definitely not my forte), i might move in this direction. example of my rudimentaryness - if i get the aforementioned second battery connection, i'm presuming i need to find a battery with an XT60 connector, or is this a relatively easy thing to handle that doesn't need (or maybe it does) soldering?
this is actually one of the batteries i'm strongly considering - https://em3ev.com/shop/em3ev-48v-13s4p-super-shark-ebike-battery/ - ordering it with the XT60 on Discharge Cable, which is what I believe i need with the above adapter...

There is a trail near me that is around 1.5 miles gaining 750 feet in elevation. I?d like to try it now that I have the area 13 controller upgrade. The guy at the bike shop that installed it warned me about putting too much strain on the motor. How well does the RR6+ handle hill climbs. I like the view from the top but I dont want to burn up my motor. Anyone have experience doing hills?
