Hard to believe these racks have not been made for purchase...It  been a long time and i am to believe these are the same racks now standard on the Rad Expand?...can anyone explain this lack of production?  thanks...

General Chat / Re: Inside the Rad battery and BMS
March 07, 2022, 05:30:16 PM
Hello Dick...I have a 2020 Rad Mini 4.....I can use the battery on peddle assist 1 and 2....I get near the house and use the throttle and the bike dies...The group has been very helpful and many are saying its the BMS....some times i can lift the battery out of the cradle and the display will go back on when i set it back down...I will roll into the garage after it dies and the Fluke says 52 volts....sometimes i roll in and it says 25 volts...The battery will go to 54 volts to 25 volts in a heartbeat...Is there anything i can do short of buying a new battery...I can get a reading of 25 volts put the charger on for 5 mins. and get a reading of 52 volts....researching the pros and cons of an aftermarket battery to save money is a chore...Thanks,Jeff

 And once the bike dies if you just simply turn the key off all the way to the unlock position it does not reset the display and controller?...I used the peddle assist for about 2 miles...got close to house and turned on throttle it died...no display no reading on the battery meter....i waited about 3 hours...went to check periodically to see if the display would come on.....I finally unlocked the battery and dropped it back in....the display works and the battery gauge lights again....If i test battery i will get at least 51 volts...hope the controller fixes this...i need the display but they are out of stock...with all the conversions to 35 amp controllers i would imagine there are plenty of displays laying around....

Hi Veggy....First i bought the throttle from Rad its a twist throttle but i put an aftermarket velcro thumb lever...I would ride about 2 miles on peddle assist and when i got near the house i would use the throttle...I would do about a mile and it would go dead...i would roll into garage and check the battery gauge on the battery and it would be dead but i would take the battery out and bench test with my Fluke and get 51 volts and the battery gauge would read 3 green lights...and then i can turn nike on again.......and never got an error code....i have a new controller coming from Rad....i would have liked to do the display before the controller  but like i said its out of stock hence my original post......hope i answered your question...Jeff

Hello...Have been having problems with bike cutting out...I just replaced the throttle today and still have problem...Been reading that the button with the display could be the problem..Rad has none in stock...Does anyone have a display for my Rad Mini 4?  thanks in advance....Jeff  (its cheaper than the controller which is the next step)
