The chronological order is a bit vague. Which combo was "unbearable"?
Was it the Rad seat on the Rad post, or the Trek Seat on the Trek post?

If you're thinking of making or buying a non-Rad charger that is not specifically said to work with Rad batteries, it may not help.

(Shaggy Dog Story follows)
I have some power tools by Radley, a budget house brand of Home Hardware. I also was gifted with a Benchmark (another Home Hardware brand) cordless mower with two 20V batteries, but no charger because she needed for Benchmark tools that she was keeping.

Here's the thing - the two brands of batteries look identical, have the same voltage, same connection terminals. Even so, I cannot charge the Benchmark batteries with the Radley charger. It doesn't even "see" the battery. So I bought a Benchmark charger for the mower.

The Benchmark battery works in the Radley drill, but the Radley batteries do not work in the mower. Putting a Radley battery in the Benchmark charger gives a solid red LED, code for "defective battery".

So, what I'm suspecting is that one or the other battery brand has a chip in its BMS that enforces brand loyalty, under the pretense of "safety". If you do find the specs you are looking for, who knows if there isn't something in the Rad battery that is not mentioned in the charger spec.

Hi, does anyone know the electrical specs on the the power adapter for the rad city 3 battery. HTE 48V 14aH.
Can't easily find this online.

thanks in advance

Contact Area13.  buy an aftermarket screen.  you might be able to buy a new screen through them.  I know you can buy a new controller and screen upgrade.  you will get a little more power with a color LED screen.  with the upgraded controller you will have only one screen not 2 as you have now. If they are out of stock, you will be put on a waiting list.

I swapped the RAD seat to a 2023 Trek suspension seat. After nearly 40 km it became unbearable to continue riding. I took off the RAD seat because I wanted to use Treks suspension post. I'll test how the RAD seat with the Trek post next.

Total Distance: 38.5 km
Elev gain: 277 m
Avg speed: 17.7 km/h
Energy used: 4 bars

Hi All,
I own a Rad Plus 6. About two years ago the display went crazy. I called Rad spoke to a representative sent a picture of the display. They agreed there was a problem and sent a replacement.That was only after 329 miles. Now the display failed again will on a trip to Pittsburg. Called Rad again expecting a sorry that failed again "I will send you out a replacement free of charge" NOT just a purchase order for $127.00. Not happy. Has anyone out had the same problem? The replacement failed at 300 mile. Not sure I can afford to ride this bike act that cost per mile.
Thank for any input.
Alan

you should email them.  they can tell you if the Runner 2 isn't compatible.  They are good at responding.

Welcome

Looking forward to your posts

Hi everyone. After doing some online research I was strongly leaning towards choosing a RadRover e bike. My wife and I are lucky enough to live reasonably close to the Rad store in Berkeley Ca. We went in for a test drive and came home with a white RadRover 6+ ST for me and a white Expand 5 for her. We?re in our 60?s and it?s been a while since we?ve done any riding. We are looking forward to taking them camping and exploring the parks.
