Title: How do you program Radpower's LCD display?
Post by: handlebar on October 18, 2022, 11:48:51 AM
I bought the display upgrade with my new Radmission. It didn't come with operating instructions. The Radpower has operating instructions that don't even say how to reset the trip meter. They would be much more convenient printed on a paper enclosed with the display.

I can't find anything about programming it or even resetting the trip meter. How do you do it?

If it's like the original the trip meter resets every time you power up or the bike times out and you power back up it is reset.

Thanks. My only experience was with the Bolton controller and display on my Radrunner. I liked to use the trip meter to keep track of the miles since the last charge. One user pointed out that the Rad display isn't much of a trip meter if it resets every time you switch it off.

As for the settings, I had gotten into them the same way as on my Bolton unit, but I didn't know what I was setting by choosing 1, 2, or 3, and I didn't know how to save changes and exit. I finally found the answers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc6G0Tf4jWo

It's a 3:45 video where Alaska John presents photos of 32 pages of a manual that came with a Radwagon. What kind of company would sell me a unit without instructions?

It seems that like many other companies, that Rad is moving away from paper instructions and going to online instructions and manuals.

The instructions for the upgrade LCD display are on the Rad Product web page for the display. Here is the direct link: https://radpowerbikes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042341474-LCD-Display-Upgrade-Installation-Guide

I hope that this helps.

Thanks. Installation was just like installing my Bolton upgrade last year. Bolton has an online manual on how to set theirs up, once it's installed. Radpower doesn't seem to have anything online.
