Is that the case for the radrunner plus? I am thinking of swapping motors I just want to make sure it's compatible.

If the motor cable runs from the brake side, then no go.

You can run it on the passenger side so it will work as long as it reaches the other plug. It's been done.

Why not use a motorcycle wheel chock and strap it down like a motorcycle? That way you don't have to remove the wheel.

Yes, it looks that way.  Just got my RR+ a few weeks ago and the motor I ordered won't work.  But just the controller upgrade made a huge difference already.
This controller upgrade you speak of, what does it improve? and what company did you buy from?

It will greatly improve the torque of the RR+. You will get across the intersection quicker on full throttle and it's hill climbing abilities will be effortless.

Will this motor found in Ali express be compatible with the radrunner  plus? Looks like the wire exits in the brake side.

That is a 1000w motor and I'm pretty sure it won't fit in the 500w/750w casing.

RadRunner / Vee Speedster Whitewalls 20x4.0
May 27, 2021, 05:53:41 AM
Just installed the tires last night and rode into work today (21 km) and let me tell you, there is a HUGE difference in the way it rides. At 20 psi they ride so much smoother and with a lot less rolling resistance than the stock tires. It also gives the bike a more unique look.

Here's the link to the only place I found that still had them in stock.

Has anyone tried one of the small motorcycle racks?  They claim to support 400-pounds and are far less expensive than the Hollywood.  Here's one example

I have seen pics of people using this carrier for their Radrovers, Radruners and various other ebikes.

Hi Guys, I'm trying to find; where I can buy the factory standard battery mounting plate (just the plate) no wiring. I am creating a second (spare) battery mount for longer trips, I want it to be lockable and sturdy (like the mounting factory battery base plate). I will mount it to the front or rear rack on my Rover 5.

I mounted my ABUS 540 lock on the left side of the bike using their bracket.
