We've got a radrunner+ , radrunner 2 and a radmini 4 and they all sound the same.
Like a sewing machine

It's sorted now, original person who ordered the bikes named me and let us change the delivery address
New controller on way from Rad
#4
So my secondhand radrunner 2 came with the basic power button on the handlebars.
My wife has a redundant Display and power button because of her eggrider V2.0
I tried swapping them over and everything works except the lights.
The front light on the radrunner 2 has a switch on it and the radrunner+ doesn't but that's the only difference I can see, they both have the same plug

Any ideas ?
Do I need a radrunner+ front light ?

OK it wasn't related to the brake levers
It was the PAS sensor
Replaced with a KT-V12L and all working again
#6
They were replacing my controller on my radmini 4 and sent it to the preious owner's address when they were on holiday and it got returned to UPS.
They're not replying to emails that they previously had done :(

Picked up a radrunner 2 cheap yesterday with problems.
It had had it's battery replaced as the original was stolen and the controller had been butchered to strip the battery connection back to fit an XT60 connector to it.
The seller said his son had ridden the bike in the rain the previous night and blown the controller.
I got the bike home and collected an XT60 male to Rad female adaptor from Big Game Bikes so I could use an old radmini controller I had knocking about.
Plugged it all in this morning and the throttle works but I'm getting no PAS.
I know the controller worked ok on my radmini 4 before (except it had error 25 and I just uplugged the back light to make it work)
The PAS LED is flashing as the crank turns so I'm guessing that's still ok
Any ideas ? I've left the brake lever electrical cables disconnected as ones missing could that be the problem ?

Thanks, put in 23 and the speedo reads 24-25mph maxed out on pedalling
#9
Thanks
What size has any of you got dialed in for the 20" wheels ? I put 20 in the settings and it's topping out at 20mph

thanks guys

Just got the 35A controller from BGB but it obviously needs an enclosure round it.
Are the bags any good or should I use the hard plastic enclosure ?
Was thinking of going for this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175348972556 or this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284944278366

Very interesting
I just bolted up a fitbike stem and Stranger Haze BMX bars to see how it looked and it's a little too low
So I've ordered a 115mm stem extender and a SALT BMX stem to see how it goes
Heres as it sits now until the new parts arrive

I put the 35A controller on my RR.  I didn't get it from where you're saying, but it's probably the same thing.  Install was easy enough.  I did have to drill one hole through the skidplate to mount the controller.  The rear hole lined up with the existing one. 

Toughest part was getting the wires routed.  The motor connector didn't want to slip by the fender.  Had to gently pry the fender away from the frame to get it to pass. 

There's also a rubber grommet where the cables come down from the front.  You'll have to pry that out without scratching the paint and then get it back in.  There's a connector inside the frame you'll need to get to for the new controller.
mines on back order from https://biggamebikes.com/product-category/rad-power-bikes-upgrades. I shouldnt have the same problem as you with the wires, they don't pass through the frame on the radmini 4

OK tried the back light from my wife's radrunner + and it's the same
Disconnected all the cables and plugged the back light into the stubby lead from the controller and still getting Error 25
There's no warranty so I'm just going to go for the 35amp controller from Big Game Bikes

I've just bought a secondhand radmini4
The seller said it had issues with the lights not working
I've got it home and fully charged the battery and it comes up with error 25
I've disconnected the cable to the back light and it works fine and no error code.
Is it just a case of replacing the back light ?
