RadCity / Re: RadCity 5+ motor replacement

I found a solution for my RadCity 5+. I replaced the rear wheel and controller with Area 13 conversion kit. https://area13ebikes.com/products/27-5-1500-watt-ebike-conversion-kit

The kit is compatible with the PAS sensor and the brakes on the Rad. The rear wheel drops in but you?ll need to add spacers and M14 nut. You?ll also have to buy 44 mm spacer for the disk brake. You can purchase on both on Amazon (links below)

The bike now has a lot of power with top speed of 20mph throttle and 30mph PAS.  The whole upgrade is cheaper than a replacement wheel from Rad.

I asked Area 13 if their upgrade kit would be compatible with my RadCity 5+ and they said yes. I ordered from the link they sent me and tried to install tonight but the pins don't line up with the new controller connectors.

Here's them both side by side:

Has anyone installed this on a 5+ yet? I'd like to know if it will work/fit before I order it.

Also looking for confirmation that this works with the RC5+ but I have the high step version.
