I am located in South LA County/Orange County California.  I replaced the stock Kendas with Origin8 Supercell and have the new Kenda Juggernauts I took off available.  If you are local and interested, make me an offer and pick them up!  Pics available.

Sabrams, New knobbies with the little tips on the tires and the new controller programming maybe?  I just bought a new Rover 6+. Had it about two weeks and noticed the same thing.  It seems slower off the line on throttle and using a higher PAS most of the time compared to my old  2018 Rover with 3 inch Beach Bum street tires.

I didn't like the downgrade and prefer the street tires over the knobbies so I immediately made the change to Origin8 Supercells.  I just swapped them out for the stock Kenda knobby tires yesterday, and now it rides much more like the old bike.  Eventually, the new knobbies might have worn in, but I like the smoother ride, better battery life and improved street traction on the street tires better.

I think most of the difference is the tires.

Good luck figuring out what you like.

Hi, I've searched and don't see any mention of what I am experiencing.  If there is a prior discussion, please point me to it.

When I apply the throttle from a stop, the bike/motor stutters a little bit before it gets rolling.  Tried to take a video of it, but it was to subtle to notice on video.  Not a lot of sound associated with it.  Wondering if this is normal or anyone else has experienced.  Otherwise it rides fine. My only observation is it accelerates slower (smoother)? than the Radmini and the 2018 Rad Rover I previously owned.

Thanks!

My Rad Rover 6 plus was delivered May 2nd and I was easily able to increase max speed to 40 KM/HR.  Works great!

Bonus tip.  If you press the headlight button in the speed program mode you have a choice of setting the max watts for the motor.  you can set it to 250, 500 or 750 - I guess in case you want to limit the juice for a rider.  Accidental discovery.
