I agree with this, I see CrappyTire puts it on sale frequently. A simple multimeter will help you isolate where to concentrate your troubleshooting.

How is your riding style? Do you use mainly the throttle? Granted I have very little experience with an e-bike but I assume it will take a lot of effort to burn up a motor.

I may be misreading it but you said you hired a professional to install the upgrade. Therefore when they were done I assumed everything worked fine.

Now that I have a few kms riding my City+, I can comment regarding the hills of Burnaby. I grew up near the Royal Oak hills. And I used to work near BCIT on Canada Way. I have ridden my bicycle on those hills a lot. I now lives in Calgary and have ridden hills comparable to Burnaby and I must say that they are doable with the combination of PAS and the right gearing. I do not mean to compare myself to you but I said it to help understand where the problem is. There is a big area to troubleshoot between the battery and motor.

For sale: Brand new condition Rad Rover 6 plus step through controller. This is NOT compatible with the High Step model as the motor cable is too short (the reason I'm selling it). Still in original unopened package- unused and currently untested but buyer can have a live video chat with me showing them it works else they can get a full refund. I'm Eumops-Calls on EBay with a 100% score for references.  Regular Paypal only (it has buyer/seller guarantee, and I'm paying their fee).

$125 shipped to Con US.

Rad Power Bikes Classifieds / Re: Replacement chargers?
Last post by Geoffrad - May 16, 2024, 11:16:47 AM
I JUST bought a very lightly used RAD Rover5 (105 km!) and it has no charger. It is not stolen - it was lost in a move.  As i read the manual i see that it is probably best to use a RAD charger because it is designed and optimized for the RAD battery. SO i am buying the $70 one from RAD, i guess, if i have to...
