I threw a hailong style 48v on the front tube and connected both with the Bolton battery parallel unit.  It has not effected my ability to step through the bike, but a bigger battery might.

Just laced this into my RR+.  What kind of top speed is everyone getting?

Hi all, I'm trying to install a Bolton battery parallel unit onto my RR+.  I'll be using a 3rd party battery along with the stock one.  Both are 48v, however when I take a multimeter to both batteries, the 3rd party one reads a voltage of ~ 54.6 while the stock Rad battery is reading ~ 53.8.

My questions are:
Is my stock battery damaged in some way or is this the normal peak charge?  If it is damaged, is it still considered a 48v battery?  I've read on some forums that this peak charge on a 48v battery can be indicative of an unbalanced battery, or at least something amiss with a row of cells. 

The Bolton parallel unit is supposed to be able to take two batteries of the same voltage and run them fine if the charges don't match by only drawing from the higher charged battery until they do match.  However, it has to be the same voltages.  That said, I don't want to risk running both batteries until I have determined that the stock Rad battery is operating normally.

Thank you!

I'm so pleased I found it and am happy to share with the community.  It's fun, feels like beyond the most common mods we're all exploring new territory.  Feels like a modern take on the scooter and moped craze of the mid 1900s.

So I found possibly the only place in the US aside from Rad themselves that has Rad wiring harnesses.  Zipp-e-bikes in Galveston, TX.  I actually spoke to one of their reps on the phone asking if they could do a custom splice for me.  While unfortunately they could not, the rep was super enthusiastic, kind and absolutely pumped to talk about ebikes.  I wound up ordering one of their extended wiring harnesses that adds about 10 inches to the cable, and have asked an electrician friend of mine to lengthen the 10-pin side to the length I need.

There's plenty of guys making any connectors you could possibly need on Facebook.

Interesting.  I'm a total newbie at sourcing FB private jobs.  Where would I look?  Also, finding the specific connector head has been a real challenge.  Would they be able to make that?

Hey all, I'm trying to do some light mods to my RR+ named Bichael. One of these mods involves the 35a controller. I currently have it underneath the bike where the old controller is but I'd like to shift it up to underneath the passenger seat to help with weatherproofing. I'm hearing stories about it getting splashed in puddles and having some issues so I'd like to mitigate that. I have managed to find extension cables with the right connectors for every one of the cables so far except the 10-pin connector that goes into the frame and hooks up to the wiring harness. I'm driving myself nuts, I just need a damn male-female extension cable with a few feet of wire but I can't seem to find the right connector anywhere. Have any of you had more success? Do you know where you might find the right connector? I don't particularly trust my abilities to make my own cable so I'm ready to pay somewhat of a premium to get this thing if need be.
