RW3? Very cool. From what I understand the RW3 was a good bike.
I don't know how one could upgrade the motor to get more torque without just replacing it. Sadly Rad limits their Canadian bikes to peak at 500 watts in order to comply with our watt limits. Some bikes limit their nominal watts to 500 but have their peak watts at 750 or even higher. The limit is set with software in the controller and or display. FWIW our 500 watt Rad motors can and will handle over 1000 watts for short periods of time, like hill climbing for example, so they are very well built.
If you wish to get more torque then perhaps look into Area 13 (A USA company) for a different controller. I know they have it for the RW4 but you would need to contact them to see if they have a plug and play setup for the RW3.
Another option is to get the Eggrider for your bike. It's from the UK (I think. Maybe England? Not sure) It will also give you more torque.
Neither option will require replacing the motor.

I hope this information helps.

I didn't know there were ebike racks that had a threaded hitch pin. We have a cargo rack that has the same setup. Good work finding a locking and threaded hitch pin.

You could try Area 13 in the US or Grin Technologies out of Vancouver Canada.

Thank you Ryan for the update. I (We) appreciate it. I especially thank you for keeping only the anchored ads. It makes the site more approachable. I follow the Ebike Escape channel so I know how busy you are. Your efforts at keeping the forum functioning well is appreciated.
Hopefully we will be able to survive the upheaval taking place in the cycling and e-biking industries. With luck we only have another year before it begins to settle down again.

It's day three so far and nothing has changed. So disappointed. :-(

There's too many ads on the forum site now. EVERYTIME I click the mouse I have to pass over two or more ads. If this doesn't change within a week I'm done! Far too much garbage.
This is a great forum but it's being ruined with Google Ads.

Very cool. Nice video.

OMG those close calls are scary. I've had a few but not quite like that!

I don't own a RR6+ so I don't know for sure but that "cable" in pic 2 sure looks like it's a hydraulic line for hydraulic brakes.
When you tested it and the brakes worked were you testing just the faulty one or did you, out of habit, use both brakes? I suggest you test it again and use only the faulty one. That may point you in the right direction.

I can't comment on the seat hitting a trunk bag but I have put the Suntour SP 12 NCX on my Radwagon 4 and it works great. I had to use a 30.8 mm shim but I have had it on for more than a year and it hasn't slipped or moved. It is an excellent low cost suspension seat post.

That's excellent DickB. Good data.
Thank you.

I like the idea of the motion sensor alarm. I'm concerned about theft of accessories too.

BTW, in my previous post I incorrectly said I have a Barronium D Lock. Actually it's a Litelok X3 and the stuff it's made of is called Barronium. They also make a Litelok X1. It's also angle grinder resistant but it is not as angle grinder resistant as the X3. Sorry about any confusion I may have caused.

I don't know how long they are but they are 12 gauge I believe.

I don't understand how a Rad motor could spin in the frame. Rad doesn't make frame mounted motors. Only hub drives. Maybe they have another customers bike confused with yours?

I believe the new safe shield batteries have circuit breakers instead of fuses. Not 100% sure though. I also don't have any information on how to reset the circuit breakers but I have a VERY distant thought of buying one for my RW4 as Rad says they will fit.

Naranja_CT5+ nice chain. 12 mm? That's big. I have a Kryptonite chain for my bike and it's about the same thickness I think. HEAVY. Are you sure a chain that big fit on your shackle?
