Please write up some more information on this topic! What model are you riding, how easy was it to install and configure, do the PAS modes still work smoothly, what's the range now, etc...

I and I'm sure plenty others would appreciate your independence and freedom of speech rather than adherence to what Rad marketing wants to hear. If I want non-reviews of their products I already can avail of EBR and Electrec who evade or downplay any criticism on any ebike they review.
Hi all, I had to take the video down. The information is out there but unfortunately I can't share it.

My point was about people who are so fearful on a daily basis that they will wear their strap-on inside their car when driving alone - as can be easily observed daily in my small town. Now how does that accomplish anything at all, other than just adhering to blind fear, and why is it "ignorant" to point out the uselessness of doing so? Who's being "protected" and from what, exactly?
I will agree with you that this is veering off-topic, although related to the phenomena of many people now trained to be fearful as their first reaction to new experiences, including encountering e-bikes.
and my point is that you made an irrelevant, asinine statement. Your excuse that were making some sort of point is equally asinine.
If someone wants to wear a mask in their car, that's their business. They're not hurting anyone. I don't tell you to leave your cult, or stop being brainwashed, because that's your business, even if it may very well hurt other people.
Quote from: NaturallyRC on March 20, 2022, 04:57:31 AMOh, as a Canadian resident I can agree. But where I live the roads are not safe enough anyway to commute with the kids. Anything below 10 Celsius gets you in trouble with the little ones plus the Radwagon is not a winter machine.
I admit, a little target practice is required before you can reliably hit those buttons with full gloves on. But this is one skill we Canadians must all develop (and we do). That, or park the ebike and stay inside eight months of the year.Quote from: ericwn on March 19, 2022, 04:06:48 PM
As long as you can still comfortably operate the smaller buttons for the PAS settings of course [emoji846]
Quote from: Si1Dia on March 19, 2022, 11:31:54 AMSo is the reason for this setup mostly range extension? That certainly is some creative wiring there! [emoji846] only thing that matters is the fun you have with it anyway. Thanks much for sharing your photos!
I have modified my Rover 6+ so I can run 3 batteries in parallel.
I use the DATEx3 from BGB: https://biggamebikes.com/product/datex2-parallel-battery-adapter , to connect the three batteries safely.
I got two standard Rad battery trays from eBay, and a set of dead Standard batteries that I refurbished. ( I got lucky with both batteries, they had bad solder connections )
I had to do some creative splicing and voided my warranty, I'm sure, but this bike runs like a beast.
The pictures show the bike with the 2 battery Area 13 Parallel connector: https://boltonebikes.com/collections/electrical-accessories/products/dual-battery-parallel-connector. This is a great connector, but I have since moved it to my wife's bike.
With the 3 batteries in Parallel, I have an average voltage drop of 1.5 volts at 750w. This equals excellent hill-climbing capabilities.
As for range? When mostly in PAS 5, I have pushed it to 65 miles. This left me with 47v left on the battery, down from my 54.3v starting point. I have not stressed it to empty yet.
Almost forgot. I also added one of these voltage meters in line with the headlight. I did this so I could read full bike voltage, and so I could turn it off/on id I wanted to by turning off/on the headlight.

Agree 100%, and I've been telling this to newbies since the stone age. And you needn't drop a bundle. These days, I actually prefer work gloves over fancy, overpriced bike logo mitts. Some work gloves protect your knuckles from branches and fences if that's a problem on your rides, https://www.homedepot.ca/product/husky-extreme-duty-large-mechanic-gloves/1001634817 but for pavement, I go with plain faux leather, or fingerless work gloves. I mean, good luck finding better bike gloves for 12 bucks CDN.Quote from: Mooree on March 19, 2022, 10:40:26 AM
I recommend wearing gloves when cycling because wearing gloves brings a lot of benefits. Cycling gloves may be an underrated cycling piece of equipment, but it's just as essential as a bike helmet. Cycling gloves not only make you look like a professional cyclist but also improve your overall riding experience. Besides, they protect you from collisions and accidents. Gloves can enhance your grip and control on the bike handlebars, providing extra padding and protecting your hands in the event of a crash. Like helmets, gloves serve as protective gear for every rider.

Mounting a bike trailer without a coupler has become easier for me. Instead of choosing to mount the shaft, I used the seat post hinge. For this process, I considered using Travoy Quick-Hitch points. This is really a great option. When using one of the tie rods, I simply tighten the brace to the seat post and attach the trailer to it. Using this tool is very simple and it can work perfectly with any size of bike post. I have not encountered any compatibility issues using this tool.
