♦ Okay, I just got a RadCity 5 plus, the first thing I did was to fully charge the battery. I do all the maintenance and upgrade work on my 2020 RadRover ST so I felt comfortable assembling the new RadCity bike to get it going.
The bike assembly went fairly well and straightforward. But, when I went to try the throttle, I got absolutely no response at all. The two LCD screens turn on fine, they show the time and the PAS levels. They do NOT show anything when the brake levers are pulled. The rear light is shining bright but do not change when the brake levers are pulled. NO THROTTLE at all.
-
I checked all the cable connections to make sure they were up tight and well connected.
-
One thing I tried was to unplug the left (front) cable red connectors - after I did this, pulling the right brake lever causes the rear light to flash like a brake light as it should. The flasher will also work, but not when the left brake cable is connected. The LCD screens show no indication of headlight or brake light. Still NO THROTTLE at all.
-
I have another new throttle and tried it, but again NO response at the hub motor. I am leaning toward the controller, I hope not because I see it is a real 'beach' to replace. A few times as I worked trying the throttle to work, the bike would only shut off if I used the key to pop the battery.
My 2020 RadRover ST has not had these problems.
♦ Ideas, suggestions?
