Quote from: seand1109 on May 14, 2024, 10:16:39 PMI am back with an update... not a single question at the border about the bikes on the back and no one cared. the bike trails around Vancouver were great. I highly recommend traveling thru the city, downtown, on e-bike just because you will beat the traffic and won't spend money on parking.I'm glad you've enjoyed your visit. I looked at the bike map of Metro Vancouver and I am glad that it looked more cyclist friendly. It wasn't like that in my days. https://www.translink.ca/-/media/translink/documents/rider-guide/cycling/2021-cycling-maps/tl-cyclerouteseastwest_v2021web.pdf
Quote from: Banjopete on April 28, 2024, 08:02:17 AMI'd start there with an multimeter and a coffee.I agree with this, I see CrappyTire puts it on sale frequently. A simple multimeter will help you isolate where to concentrate your troubleshooting.
Quote from: JoeUtah on February 11, 2021, 08:25:07 AMSitka glad to hear you're still riding at 80!!! As one of the early Rad Riders since 2017 I must tell you that unfortunately the Rad Rover is not a powerful off road hill climber, the hub drive motor cannot compete with mid-drives on the hills. That said I have taken my Rad to some high places which required lots of pedal assist from me with eventually using the "walk assist" function. I'll offer up my best advice to reach the summit and not fry the Bafang rear hub motor (easily done if overheated).
1.Always use the lowest gear! Take your time and enjoy the experience.
2.Any pedal assist from YOU is beneficial and almost mandatory, using throttle alone will overheat on steep hills.
3.When you do use throttle, watch your display, if you are exceeding 500 watts under full load and bogging down, the internal hub is heating up and bye bye motor.
4.When it gets real steep, get off and use the walk function.
5.What goes up must come down. Steep downhills on the way back can literally be your downfall, lower seat and make sure you periodically adjust your breaks (very easy to do with the mechanical, its just a turn of the allen wrench.)

Quote from: JimInPT on April 30, 2024, 07:50:03 AMJust curious.... what is your headlight looking at that's so interesting?lol it's the problem I mentioned with the harness. It's pulling the light cable upwards.

Quote from: mrgold35 on April 21, 2024, 05:40:12 AMI added the Sunlite 0-60 degree adjustable handlebar stem for the 100% solution. I added the adjustable stem to both Radrovers and can then adjust in seconds depending on the rider.I had the opposite problem. When I first sat on my City+, it felt tall for me. So I adjusted the seat & handlebar but I am still not happy because the seat post was on the lowest settings.
