Day before yesterday while out on a ride on my RadRover 6plus my iPhone fell out my pocket. I didn't realize it until I got home. I broke out my iPad and it located my phone which was about 1.5 miles from my house. It was in the street and had been run over but that's another story. My point is wouldn't it be great if the bike manufacturers developed a locating device and included it in E bikes??? They have everything they need to do it!

I got another email from Bolton regarding their 35amp controller on a 6plus. As it turns out Jessica was mistaken. It won't work on a 6 plus! Meanwhile Ryan on this forum discovered how to increase the speed on the 6plus and it turns out that's all I needed to make me happy!
Hi Calvin,
"My sincerest apologies. I was under the impression that the kit does work on the 6. It actually has a different electrical system and the controller is mounted internally. I got the Rad 5 confused and for that I am very sorry.
Thank you!"

Ryan's Youtube video!

Yesterday evening was my first opportunity to take a test ride after using Ryan's speed hack! It really woke up my Radrover 6 plus. I got the extra speed I was looking for and in my estimation it climbs a lot better. I think I'm going to have to start wearing a helmet!  Thanks Ryan!

The only downside is that the controller would then have to be mounted externally. I guess if it were me I'd probably just go with the RadRover 5 and upgrade as desired if you're going to start replacing parts anyway.

Since you came through with the speed hack I may be satisfied for now with the 6 plus! I had seen the video you referred to and was disappointed until you came through this morning.....This is my first E bike and if I had done a little more research I probably would've have bought the 5. I will see how I like this now that my friend can't outrun me on his Aventon 😎

This great news.....Thanks Ryan! I am currently trying to find out info if the Bolton 35amp controller is compatible with the 6plus I started a thread on it this morning.

I doubt if anyone has done it since the bikes are just starting to ship.

I just spoke to a rep at Bolton this morning and I was told that:

Hi Cal

Thanks for reaching out! We haven't tested it on the Rad 6 - but we have had customers who have and they say it works.

Update: I was able to talk to Joey at Bolton and he's going to do some research and find out more info if their 35 amp controller will work on the 6plus "plug and play". Hopefully someone on here has done the mod and will chime in!

I was down at the Imperial Beach Radpower store last week and was able to score a 6plus for myself and a friend plus both our ladies got 6plus step throughs. The store manager wasn't really clear on when all the back orders were coming in but he said soon! They had several Step throughs in stock but in white only!

Newbie here. I just purchased a 6 plus and have 60+ miles on it. Has anyone put the Bolton 35 amp controller on their 6plus? I emailed Bolton and the said they have gotten reports that it works on a 6plus but they have not tried it themselves! I need more speed. My buddy bought a Aventon with the 20 amp hour battery and he pulled way ahead of me in the flats and slight inclines. I may have to sell this thing and get a Radrover 5 Lol
