Oh, wait - that's the wrong side from the throttle for my theory to work.  :-[
Still, it wouldn't hurt to make the adjustments and be sure.

I would focus on the brake handle switch before shelling out for a new controller, especially if the misbehaviour only happens when operating the throttle. It suggests a mechanical issue to me, and the throttle is in the same vicinity as the brake handle. Maybe something is bumping into something else.

There is a procedure for adjusting the cut-off switches in the brake handles, but I cannot find it at the moment.

Rad is thinking it's a bad controller.

Yeah, I contacted Electobike and they *immediately* replied with the settings I needed.  Thanks!

FYI: Good install vids on Youtube for the setup but nada on the settings - had that thought also.

It might be a setting, but as long as you use both brakes at the same time I would keep it disconnected until you can find the issue.  The purpose of the brakes being connected is to turn the motor off so you can come to a stop without the bike continuing along.

Yes you will need to make changes. I have a different version. 
Maybe contact the seller for the settings.  You might find success on youtube as well.

When it comes to helmet laws, it doesn?t have to make sense. It?s politics.

I have no experience with it but you can download a walkie-talkie apps on your smartphones. It uses wifi or Bluetooth no need for internet.

I'm about to install it. I'm hearing that I may need to change some settings after installing - but can't seem to find any info on how to do that - or what the settings should be.

Anyone done it?

Service & Repair / RR 6+ weird issue: Twist Thro...
Last post by Jack D - April 10, 2024, 05:01:41 PM
Intermittently.  I.e.; sometimes the throttle works and not brake light comes on.  Sometimes I twist it and the brake light comes on, and no movement.

I disconnected both the brake and throttle connectors (per Rad support) and inspected them and put them back together again without any noticeable change in behavior.

Weird thing I did notice: The throttle and PAS both work as expected when the front brake connector is disconnected.  As soon as I reconnect the front brake connector - the intermittent issue begins again.

Yet another bad controller?  Thoughts?

Thanks for any input / advice

Jack

Service & Repair / Brake bleeding kit

What is the preferred brake bleeding kit for a Rover 6? It would help if I could order it on Amazon. Thanks
