Hey guys I'm selling a controller and display for the RAD Mini 4. I bought these items off the back of reading reviews saying despite being great bikes, this particular model struggles to keep a consistent speed going up hills due to the limits of power on EU models. This kit helps unlock more power in the motor to assist with hills and unlocks the throttle, which can be either used for easier starts or can go fully analogue (I only recommend the latter for bumpy off road tracks). This video gives a detailed explanation and demonstration of what this kit does. I'm selling this kit for £130 for collection from Watford or by post, delivery costs are negotiable.

Thanks, will take a look into the fiido. How long is shipping typically, do they have manufacturing in the UK?

Hi Just wanted to ask if there's any possibility (at all) for adding a motor to this bike, capable of getting it up to 10-15mph going up steep hills. Thumb throttle would be a preference but not essential, I've read ebikes handle hills better with peddle assist. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated. Here's a link to the bike below; https://fabricbike.com/en/bicycles/folding-bike.html Let me know if there's any info you want me to find out that isn't in the link

I found a company, RAD power bikes based in Holland. Their EU models are restricted to 250w, however through a youtube video I'll leave at the bottom of this post, there's kit you can buy specifically for the RAD mini4 folding fat tyre e-bike which overrides the controller restrictions of a max power output of 250w to 500w like the US model. Long story short, RAD probably didn't want the costs and labour involved making 2 separate models for 2 continents so they just restricted their EU models through software. Here's the youtube link explaining the kit with links in the description as to getting hold of it, mines on its way; If you like what you see I'd advise you get in there with buying the bike quick. As it looks like Brexit has made a mess of importing Lithium-ion batteries into the UK, delivery can take up to 4-6 weeks

Thanks for the swift response, will check it out

Hi I'm looking to purchase a RAD mini 4. As it says on their website, delivery from Europe to the UK will take from 4-6 weeks due to Brexit, import tariffs, and as I learned through contacting RAD directly, documentation regarding the declaration of a lithium-ion battery, considered a dangerous item for shipping. After contacting SendBikes about this (who RAD recommended), they said none of their couriers now ship folding ebikes, due to battery position and current laws. I'm a bit stuck as to what to do, any thoughts, opinions or advice would be much appreciated. Best wishes

Sure, I'm after an electric 2 wheeled vehicle, preferably powered by throttle, capable of speeds between 20-40mph, to replace using the car for short journeys (under 1hr) and to take on and off trains for longer journeys, or car boots if necessary. A combination of speed and portability is what I'm after in a nutshell, hope this makes sense.

Thanks for all your replies and saving me a dent in the wallet. I certainly will look into a motorcycle or scooter. Could I ask for some pros and cons of fuel v electric, and any models that would be portable, either car boot, train or tube? (Obscure I know...)

Hey Thanks for your replies, here's the link below https://www.matebike.uk/product/mate-city-500w-50-mile/

Hi I hope everyone's keeping ok in these hard times I'm looking to buy a Mate City 500, with throttle assist. After looking how to register the bike with DVLA (UK) as a moped, I learned that Peds are allowed to go up to 30mph legally. I was wondering if theres a way to derestrict this bike to reach 30mph as opposed to 20mph? I've attached a screenshot of the electronic tech specs. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Best wishes
