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.

Piece of rubber and a cable/zip tie.

 

I've sent an email to Radpower EU asking if they will be introducing full throttle bikes in the UK with DVSA certification, these would still be classed as pedal assisted bikes with a minimum rider age of 14 no licence or insurance required and would be allowed on cycle paths, two UK manufacturers are already offering UK legal throttle wisper and Pedibal. 

It will be interesting to hear their reply!

I use Vodafone tracker and its been great £3 per month peace of mind, the app can be a bit of a pain at times, yet if someone tampers with my bike a get a text message on my phone, was £79 upfront but i've seen it cheaper.

Considering buying one of these and wondering if you have a referral code we could both take advantage of?

Hi! Sorry i don't have a referral code, but if you were to email Ez bike tours direct, i'm sure they would be able to help!

Looks good. Much better than the milk jug cut outs I've seen.

Thanks! Yes it's really efficient £20 well spent!

My bike mechanic (who incidentally does tours on Rad Bikes!) made and fitted this rubber mud flap, it really stops surface water spraying into the controller area, I live in a very rainy area (Scotland) so this was a welcome add-on to my RadRunner.

@machina77

Thanks for the information and the linky. I had no idea that Europe had such stringent laws and regulations regarding bicycles.
Here in the States, I pay for something called uninsured motorist insurance which is in addition to regular car insurance
which essentially buys insurance for those who choose not to properly insure themselves.
Glad that Europe forces all motorist to properly insure themselves and to be financially responsible for themselves.
Be Safe.

You're welcome.  Stay safe!

To me it is power, not speed that is an issue to me. the EU limit is 25kph (15.5mph) I have no problem with that as i only need assistance, i can use leg power to get faster, but limiting the motor to 250w is far too weak for such a heavy bike (Radrunner) and rider (13.8 stone) surely a minimum of 750w or 500w is more desirable for pedalecs to be of any use in hilly areas?

Hello and question please. @machina77
Are the Rad and all E-Bikes sold in Europe limited to 250 watts ?
Does Rad sell a different type of bike in Europe to accommodate the European market ?
Are the Rad's sold in Europe not capable of increasing their power by the customer within the display ?
Seriously, what would happened if a European had a more powerful bike ? Get arrested / fined by the bike police ?

Ebikes in europe are split into groups, 250w @25kph is the legal limit, throttle is limited to 6kph and this class of ebike is called an EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle)  you can ride these anywhere that a bicycle can, and need not licence, 14 years minimum age. Certain states in the EU allow faster more powerful bikes, yet her in the UK (EU rules on EAPC were kept after Brexit!) anything above the legal 250w and 25kph is classed as a motorcycle and you are required to have the bike insured, taxed have a certificate of road worthiness and be over 17 with a minimum provisional licence (learners licence) and complete a road theory test and have a CBT (compulsory Basic Training for motorcycles) or a full bike licence. Recently in the UK full throttles were legalised, but the bike must be tested by DVSA and have a certificate issued. Failure to follow these rules would have you arrested and charged with riding a motor vehicle without insurance MOT or license, and could expect at the very least a huge fine and points on your drivers licence.

This Redditer did a great job...

Just to go off topic a wee bit...

The eggrider has made a huge difference to my RadRunner EU version, i'm guessing my controller is plenty powerful yet hobbled by EU law, I'm not interested in speed or throttle just the oomph to get uphill, the bike was seriously crippled before i installed the new ER, now i have the bike set to 19 amps, I'm flying up those hills!
