I bought a rad runner 3 in canada. The sticker which says 500w is covering a sticker that says 750w. How do I unlock the true 750w and get the extra power?
I've heard of eggrider but do they make one for the rad runner 3? any experiences with this?

Thank you for your time

where was the sticker? On my City5+ there's one on the frame but I never peeled it off to reveal what is underneath. I'm just curious if that's what you meant. I thought maybe there's another one on the motor itself.

For me I am content with the speed but I wouldn't mind unlocking it if it would gain me a bit more climbing power.

I maybe wrong in this assumptions but it seemed the general consensus is that upgrading to a third party controller is the answer.

In regards to unlocking, there used to be a video but it was taken down by the owner of the forum. I found one on YT but never tested it. Use the keyword "How To Increase Top Speed on Rad Power Bikes RadRover 6+Rad, City 5 Plus, and RadRunner 3"
Literally is LITERALLY the most annoying word of the decade.

The sticker was on the frame. under seat infront of tire.

The speed is fine for me, but I wouldnt mind more climbing power as well.

I found out that a USA rad store can flash my controller to take control of the full 750W. I live on the boarder near seattle so I'll head down and give it a try
