Here is official wiring diagram for z916 and L1019. These pinouts matches stock Rad and G062..Also 35A controller.
I have also sold number of custom controllers for G062 motor wired like this.
There is no purple in L1019. Grey is found only on controller side (thermistor). White is speed.

I have modified G062.1000.DC motor that has welded clutch, 8awg phase wiring, BT winding  temp sensor, air and water cooling, reglued magnets etc.
Running 114A DC Peak current and 60v custom made battery so nearly 7000w Peak.

I have a 750watt rad fatbike. its functioning great and males a lot of fun here in the german forest. However hillclimbing is a pain in the ass. The motor gets out of oomph pretty quickly. Now i saw that on the newer american variants they speak of a geared hub motor 750watt. my specifications says i have a direct drive motor. I can imagine that a 5:1 geared hub motor has more oomph on hills.

Is there anyone with more knowledge as me on this point?

RadRhino 750w is 500w geared hub motor run at 750w controller power just like the US version.

would suggest going straight to G062 series 1000w nominal motor (pref cassette type) with L10 motor connector.
I have modded this motor for higher power though. First to fail was the gluing of 20 neodymium magnets. I reglued them with highedt quality heat curable epoxy and no problem ever since.
I'm running it Peak 7000w at 60v battery. Peak current (battery DC) is 114A.
3.9 seconds from 0-30mph.

Geeezzzz, man, only 7 kilowatts and no front-wheel-drive???  Scaredycat.   ;)

Do you buy your replacement rear tires by the pallet?

These tyres have already lasted way longer than stock Kendas on stock bike. Still in good condition 🙂

JTK77   Looks like a real fun ride, but over kill for me. I probable average 10-12 mph over the 10000 miles I have on my bike and I'm happy with that. 20 years ago I'd be riding next to you. What tires are you running, I really like the white walls.  Do they come with a less aggressive thread pattern? I like quite tires

I do mostly ~20 mph averages. Did some ~80 Miles trip couple a weeks ago with 21-22 average. Total battery capacity is 60v 41.5Ah.
Studded my 45nrth Vanhelgas for the winter.

Interesting to ride at night with no headlights.  I can't do that around here, no brightly lit city/suburban streets.

No headlight? Sure I had headlight on 😄

Uh, huh.. :)

I "premium" headlight that I got with my RR2 sucks balls for being a "premium" product.  I just added a set of 1200lm lights.  There's mornings I might be out at 4am and coming home well after sunset.  While I could be seen easily enough, the "premium" headlight isn't enough to ride safely.  I think I'll be good now.



The RR light is pointed down so it picks up what's right in front of me, the add on lights are pointed more up, but not high enough to blind drivers.  The orange lights are my turnsignals in "hazard" mode.  I just happened to catch an image while they were on while flashing. 

I just got them on today, but haven't been out yet, it's been raining here since yesterday.

Yeah. I got 3000lm headlight in this bike. For street use its aimed little low not to blind other road users. Can be adjusted on the go though.
When doing 40mph good light is a must.
