Why Ride Rad?

[Peran]

Would we be having the same conversation if I had changed my Radrunner's 35amp controller? I'm not so sure - but i understand more people upgrade the 35a controller rather than fit the Eggrider - choice I suppose?

The eggrider can be configured to cut the throttle off at 6 kph.

Here is the user manual for the eggrider used on the Rad which has a Lishui controller.

E-bike Settings - Rad Power | EggRider user manual

The off road profile however is not UK compliant, but it looks like the off road mode can be locked out.

Changing controller is a legal way to increase torque. More Amps means more Power.

...but we would be having different conversation as changing controller would raise some red flags. 35A is a lot... at least for cheap generic battery. Rad does not provide much information on battery they use which strongly suggest no name cells. 35A might be pushing battery to its limits.

Sorry for being a party pooper. How about a compromise? I will say your bike is cool, when you make it legal

Az. - We have a deal!

I think most of us don’t understand what the eggrider can do. From what I can see from the manual, it can be set up to be UK compliant.

Nice...
...but then what? 30+kg fat wheel single speed bike? How far would it go?

Longest roam so far is 24 miles, with just over 50% battery life used

Pas level 5 and ghost peddling.

Pas level 5 and ghost peddling.

Never go beyond Pas level 3 - ever

You said in your review that range is 25 miles...

Correct - that was before I ventured out to see what I could acheive

OK.. that would make a massive difference. If your range is 25 miles as you said, then you need to buy AA golden insurance policy called " I am a celebrity, get me out of here".

If your range is in fact 50 miles, then I like your bike much more.

In the posted video someone says;

"Though actually the motor is 500W"

People say stuff on YouTube and on forums that isn't true. The only point is whether the motor has 250w stamped on it or not.

It isn't 50 miles. I'd be surprised if it did much more than 35 miles without pedalling. The owner has no way of knowing when the battery is half full without a wattmeter. The LCD and/or Eggrider are non-linear, so give a false impression.

I hope Peran won't find out range the hard way. It must be terrible to pedal this thing without assistance.

Peran - just to clarify, did you buy display only or display and controller?

I wouldn't only use the throttle, not interested, has to be PAS, don't go higher than PAS3 ever, what would be the point of not pedaling?

Hi Az. - When I bought my Radrunner, it came with a 35amp controller, and the standard display (non LCD) i upgraded to the new LCD display shortly afterwards which gave me more info on my mileage etc: it did not increase torque or speed, made it easier to read was probably the best feature of it, later I did my research on the Eggrider v2, and then purchased it from Big Game Bikes.

That doesn't change my opinion. You'll be lucky to get 35 miles. You can't change the laws of physics by wishful thinking, otherwise we'd all be using Swytch kits.

My feeling is if the bike originally had a 35a controller then the bike certainly isn't rated for 250w .
Would be interesting to know the battery continuous discharge rating .

It looks like it has a G062 1000 watt motor. The motor cable is coming out on the brake disk side.

G060 motors have the cable coming out of the chain side.
