RadMini / Starting from scratch - odometer
February 18, 2022, 05:37:12 PM
I bought a Mini in August.  I've been monitoring monthly usage since then.  Yesterday I went for a short ride and noticed that when I turned it on my odometer display was 000.0  What?  I called RAD and they are quickly sending a replacement LCD display.  No idea what may have happened to erase the usage.  No possible way to recover the data.

RadMini / Lag is a Drag
October 16, 2021, 03:41:18 PM
I've never ridden another RadMini.  Mine has a serious power lag.  I don't know if this is normal or if there is some glitch in my controller.
When I start pedaling I may have more than one full turn of the crank before the power assist jumps in.  Perhaps almost 2 seconds delay.  When I stop pedaling to coast, the power assist continues delivering for perhaps another 2 seconds.  Not an issue along the road, but it can be a nuisance and risk when navigating a parking lot.

What say  you?  Normal controller reaction?  Or does yours add and cutoff the power near instantly?

RadMini / Battery Cap
August 23, 2021, 06:07:11 PM
I took my RadMini 4 on a trip.  Hung it on a traditional  bicycle rack.  Removed the battery for better access and less weight.

Is there any sort of plug or cap for the contacts in the bottom of battery rack?  The battery itself is dry inside my vehicle.  I can't guarantee I won't be driving in some rain.  The contacts in the bike frame are not only directly exposed, but they sit inside a tub-shaped area just ripe for collecting and storing water.  Rad should have supplied a protective cover for such.
