the 35a bolton radpower upgrade is the best mod i've done to my radrunner 1...so far!

i've been using the 35a bolton upgrade since last july with zero issues.

definitely increases the bottom-end performance - would recommend!
I'm considering the Bolton controller upgrade. I know it does wonders to the performance. However, my question to those who have it is, does the upgraded controller increase range or kill it?

yeah, not really sure about the range question - i replaced my controller shortly after receiving the bike.

i can easily get 28+ miles with the riding i do.
Thanks for the info

while riding my juiced hyperscorpion over the course of several months and enjoying the benefits of the large motorcycle-style mirrors, i started to ponder how well these same mirrors would work on my rad power radrunner.

i had tried several available mirrors on the radrunner from a custom-modified version of the mirrycle bar-end mirror through 3 iterations of hafney mirrors over the past 14 months...none seemed to be a completely satisfactory option.

...then i ordered the juiced hyperscorpion mirrors.

https://bit.ly/3rP4le0

i love these things - best mirrors for the radrunner yet, in my opinion!

inexpensive - $20 (plus $8 shipping).

secure, direct fit - bolted right up in a couple minutes.

large field of view - right in the sweet spot for me.

...and look cool!

(...and speaking of cool, note the himiway ebike headlight mounted motorcycle-style in the photos. will be reviewing this headlight vs the rad premium headlight in a near-future post).
Sorry but I'm picking up on all your accessories [emoji23] what's with the yellow clock you got there. I been looking around for a while for something like that myself. Can you share the details. Thanks!

the clock is a "stem captain" product -

Which seat are you using?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


that would be the "Serfas CRS-1 Super Cruiser Bicycle Saddle".

i use this seat on my radrunner and everyone who's ridden the bike loves the seat - a little pricey but big and comfortable!

$84.95 on amazon - https://amzn.to/2RQEajZ
Thanks again, looks like a very comfy seat. Now can you please share the details about the headlight.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the headlight is the himiway "ebike headlight" available here -

https://himiwaybike.com/products/ebike-headlight

i used $29 in free gear codes himiway has provided to ryan (forum admin) to purchase the headlight -

https://www.radowners.com/index.php?topic=801.msg3990#msg3990

brighter and wider field of view than the rad "premium headlight".

requires a connector swap (opposite) and polarity reversal when wiring to headlight's circuit board.

i'll be doing a comparison review of the 2 headlights in the near future.
That's really cool, thank you for the info!

Looking forward to the comparison review.

Anyone want  a center console for half off? I bought it a month ago but I'm going to use the large basket accessory instead.
Do you still have the console?

RadRunner / Re: Radrunner + Replacement Seat.

Quote from: se-riously on May 26, 2021, 12:00:41 AM
Any aftermarket seat will be far more comfortable than the stock seat, with a Cloud 9 being a favorite of many.  You'll have to replace the seat post at the same time (27.2 mm), and some take the effort to choose either a suspension post such as the Suntour SP12 NCX.
Great! Thanks for the feedback. I'll try a combination of your recommendations. My back was killing the other day after a long ride.

Got out today on my new RadRunner 1 and thought I'd do a battery test while I was exploring the downtown Cincinnati/Northern KY area.

After around 3.5 hours of riding (with a few breaks and a stop for lunch). I got 29.45 miles from a full battery. This included several steep hills and quite a bit of throttle (I did try to avoid the throttle on the flat areas). I weigh right around 250lbs and I'd guess with the small pack, water bottle, and milk crate strapped to my bike I was probably carrying a bit over 260lbs.

I'm THRILLED with this! It's right where I expected to be and in a flatter area with less throttle use I can probably get a bit more. I especially liked that the last bar on my display started flashing once the battery was close to being depleted. After the flashing started at got another mile or so before the power began to fall of noticeably. I didn't run it until it quit as it was obviously very close but now I know that if I get down to one bar I can most likely limp home on what's left.
Do you mind sharing the details of the small bag you have on the handlebar.

RadRunner / Radrunner + Replacement Seat.
May 23, 2021, 02:58:09 PM
Hi ya'll just looking for recommendations on replacement seat for the radrunner plus. I'm coming up at 250 mile on my RR+, I was hoping the stock seat would conform and become more comfortable but nope. Actually, I think my lower back started hurting. What seat are you guys using and if you can post a pic of your setup. Thanks in advance.
