I have found that what was called by rad person the PAS controller is actually just a display and switch and does not control the motor.  The motor controller is inside the bike frame behind the battery.  Anyone know what it cost.  INOXA told me about area 13 upgrade for RR6+ $229.  Not sure I am ready to go there yet.

INOXA  when you say its the controller do you mean the PAS on\off display on the left handle bar or something else.  I have searched for a detailed wiring diagram showing all connections to the harness but only found very vague ones.

I had my previous controller with me that had a dim display but always worked.  I unplugged the new replacement controller that was attached when the PAS and throttle stopped working and plugged in the old unit and it still did not work.  Today I rode it a mile or so after sitting for 2 days and decided to work.  The new PAS controller was plugged in.  Problem is the bike can't be trusted.  Don't want to be 25 miles from home and have it decide to not work.  Bike is too heavy for me or my wife to ride that far without assist. From the forum it looks like RAD has a lot of issues.  We love the bikes but now can't trust them.  I have contacted them by phone and email.  It takes weeks for them to respond if you don't happen to get them on the phone.  I have not contacted them about this issue, bikes out of warranty and have 1000+ miles on them. Hoping the general public has the answer.

I have eliminated the brakes and controller on my Rad Rover 6 Plus.  I have 2 of these and one just stops working and I tested it, not moving it, the day after it stopped and still nothing.  Then the next day I turned it on and leaned it over on kick stand and hit the throttle and it worked. No error codes just no PAS or Throttle.  I had replaced the PAS controller due to dim display and when it died I plugged in the DIM controller and bike still did not work.  Any ideas?  Anyone know how much the 750W motor cost?  Also I have unplugged the brakes, the light and the PAS controller and still does not work.  Everything lights up the way it should when turned on but no PAS or throttle and then after 2 days sitting it works.  We can't trust it so we can't go riding together (wife and I, at 67 years old we really miss riding.
