Title: Need Advice Radwagon 4 1000x Bafang Hub
Post by: SanDiego101 on August 02, 2022, 10:28:18 AM
Hi all,

I need advice.

I have a Radwagon 4, 52v battery, Bolten controller and a 750 Bafang Hubbody (Placed it in the existing Radwagon hub) Would a 1000x Bafang hub make this bike faster? More torque? (That's what I want)

Yes. More speed and torque..The stock style motor connector (z916) is not the best option but L10 insted. Your controller is of course with z916.

Z916 connector is rated 25A and is the weakest link to fail if constant higher currents are used. Being carefull enough you can get away using it thought

I just built a rear wheel with a Bafang 100W hub.  Bonus is the power cable exits on the disc side instead of exiting the center of the right side of the axle.  It also came with 19mm capped axle nuts.  What a difference from stock.  24.5mph instead of 20mph.  I am waiting for the back ordered Bolton controller to arrive.  I expect 28mph after I install it.
