Title: Rad runner throttle issue?
Post by: Rad_Ray on May 15, 2022, 11:34:08 AM
I have a Rad Runner and after I ride it a while with just the throttle it will sometimes cut in and out. It doesn't matter if the battery is fully charged or been used a while so I don't think it is a battery issue. Anyone else have anything similar happened to their bike? If so what was the fix?

Did you snug up all the connector points?

Yes it was the first thing I checked. 👍🏻

You do realize all Rad bikes are class 2 ebikes and are restricted to 20mph based on US Federal law?

When you use only the throttle on a Rad bike, once you hit 21mph, power is cut until it reaches 19th. Then the power comes back on until you hit 21 mph again. So Rad bikes and all other brands of class 2 ebikes are constantly cutting on and off once it reaches the maximum speed allowed by law.

Yeah I definitely understand how the governor works on the bike. Not the issue.

I suggest replacing the throttle first. They are cheap to replace.

From the sound of it, I think you may have a controller issue. Especially since it doesn't happen until you ride a while. The controller is probably heating up and causing issues.

Ive got about 1600 miles on my Rad Rover and it has been flawless until today. While my PAS works fine, my throttle feature totally died. The connections seem ok and I believe it might have flashed error message 24 or something like that. Bad controller?
