RadRover / Rad Rover 5 Motor Temp.
Last post by Rad Richie - April 29, 2024, 03:46:32 PM
I'm trying to find information on the maximum motor case operating temperature for the 750-watt Bafang. It would be helpful to know when pulling long hills.

"It gets confusing when they talk about "importing" stuff, as if you were planning to buy it from outside Canada and keep it in Canada permanently. The most important thing may be not so much importing, but operating it in Canada. For instance, you may not import used mattresses into Canada, but clearly you are allowed to own and use them in Canada."

I like this analogy, it trull fits the situation. I will use if needed but I am beginning to think I won't need to given the quote you sent

"Vehicles may be admitted into Canada without having to comply with TC's import requirements when used exclusively by a person entering Canada as a visitor for a period not exceeding 12 months" which I won't be doing, only a week.

I only asked because we frequently cross for vacations. Last trip I was quizzed by the Canadian Border patrol about firearms... Questions that would mean they had looked me up in US records. Not the normal do you have any ammo or firearms on board, but what was the last time you carried concealed. When was the last time I went to the range, and it wasn't a friendly interaction. I guessed I answered correctly because I passed thru.

We love Canada and I think they must love us, at least in the restaurant businesses because we eat out majority of the time, leftover the rest.

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.

Quote from: Naranja_CT5+ on April 28, 2024, 10:01:06 AM... Therefore the border services may require a proof that you leave Canada with all your equipment. ...
Whose border services? At what point would the Canadians have the opportunity to check that you took it back out when you left Canada? Is there some sort of shared database in which the US border service checks off that you brought the bike back in?
Even so, I don't think Canadian border service would care what you left Canada with, and I didn't think they would even stop you on the way out. (It's been a decades since I've crossed the border.)

It gets confusing when they talk about "importing" stuff, as if you were planning to buy it from outside Canada and keep it in Canada permanently. The most important thing may be not so much importing, but operating it in Canada. For instance, you may not import used mattresses into Canada, but clearly you are allowed to own and use them in Canada.

Have a look at Appendix C in https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d19/d19-12-1-eng.html , maybe there are some hints there. They talk about "Temporary Vehicle Imports", but they don't say much about actually operating them in Canada.
QuoteVehicles may be admitted into Canada without having to comply with TC's import requirements when used exclusively by a person entering Canada as a visitor for a period not exceeding 12 months, or temporary residents such as students studying at a learning institution for the duration of their studies in Canada, or individuals with valid work permits/authorizations for employment for a period not exceeding 36 months.
TLDR. Exactly which of "[Transport Canada's] import requirements" they mean, I have no clue.

I'd phone ahead to somebody official in the province you plan to visit (because each province has slightly different regulations for ebikes), to get chapter & verse, and don't accept an answer with the word "probably" in it.

That's a lot of orange, even on the mirrors and headlight. Looks nice.
I just realized that "naranja" means "orange". That's probably not a coincidence, right?

Does it still have that New Bike Smell?

QuoteI am disappointed to find that I may not be able to use the front basket because it is obstructing the wiring harness. I have to find a way to route it through the basket and the only way I can think of doing that is to remove everything from the handlebars.
Really? All of the baskets look to be fairly open in terms of space between the bars.
Or do you mean removing everything only for as long as it takes to reroute them through the basket bars?
