Title: radrunner canada + eggrider v2 = fast battery drain ?
Post by: seb660 on April 01, 2022, 08:27:09 AM
Greetings everyone. recently purchased a radrunner(canadian edition) and decided to get the eggrider to get more out of it.

while i noticed a great improvement in speed i noticed that that battery is draining particularly fast since i installed the eggrided.

example: a 15 minutes ride no hills with no peddling brought the battery from 100% to 75%   

is this normal ? any of you have specific settings i should do in the eggrider app ? still new to all of this any help is greatly appreciated.

Although I cannot speak to the specifics of your observations, I would oiffer that quicker launching and higher top-end speeds would mean more draw on the battery...  25% in 15 minutes seems harsh, though.

I've noticed that the Canadian ebikes seem to get less efficient over 250 watts of output. AT 250 they go all day. At 500 maybe 2 hours.

Seb660, are you still using the Eggrider? I'm curious how you like your Eggrider after using it for a month.
I have a Canadian RW4 and have been looking into upgrading the system. I like the efficiency of the Canadian controller so don't want to spend the money on an Area 13 controller and display upgrade. I don't want or need higher forward speed either. However I do want and sometimes need more hill climbing or cargo carrying ability. Occasionally I also need more acceleration when crossing the street.

so far after a month of steady use i can say i like it a lot. a adjusted my output a bit and with the right combination of peddling and throttle its doing great and im getting decent enough distance now.

for your needs i think it will do great. more torque so better accelaration and hill climbing.

Seb660, Excellent. I'm happy to hear that.

Now I need to save up my pennies and order one.

Thank you.

Seb, I have a lot of problems adjusting settings on mine, the display always disconnects from the app after a few seconds. I can ride it in the default settings I got from Big Game Bikes but am unable to adjust my speed limit. How easy is it on yours to change settings via the app?

There is a known hardware issue with recent eggrider models, the team are readying a replacement for everyone having bluetooth connection issues, head over to the eggrider bitbucket, you will need to register.

I've done it on my radrunner+, top speed is the same, how I get there is very different. Climbing the stupid steep and very long hill to my house is much easier too, I can sustain close to 30kph where I'd do well to sustain 15.
