Service & Repair / Noob rear wheel assembly quest...
Last post by Pasternak - January 25, 2025, 03:49:09 PM
Hi - first post. I (noob) am putting the rear wheel back on my new Radrunner 2. And based the only order of hardware diagram I can find, I'm a bit concerned I've lost a washer with a right angle index tab for the left/disc brake side. But I'm fairly certain it was not there when I removed the wheel. Would somebody look at the attached photo and tell me if I have all the hardware I need to fasten the wheel to the frame, please?

RadRunner / low rise handlebars for RadRun...
Last post by Marty57 - January 22, 2025, 01:51:28 PM
New member here; looks like some great info. I have a RadRunner 3 plus; so far so good.  I am thinking of installing a lower rise handlebar for a slightly better lean for my back; bending forward some is more comfortable than sitting straight up. I found what looks like a perfect replacement to use with existing stem and all the accessories.  I'm wondering if anyone else has done this kind of a mod and how difficult was it?  Here's a link the the handlebars that seem to be an exact swap with about a 4" drop in the rise. 31.8mm to fit existing stem and 22.5 mm for all the accessories.  Thanks

Has anyone used a Burley Coho XC with a RadRover? If so, what did you need to do to connect it?

Service & Repair / RadRhino / RadRover 6 Plus - F...
Last post by droberts83 - January 20, 2025, 02:09:41 AM
Hi fellow Rad Owners!

My wife owns a RadRhino 6 Plus, and we've encountered an issue with the lights.

When the lights are switched on, the handlebar display indicates that they are on, but the front light doesn't work. Meanwhile, the rear light blinks continuously. If I turn off the lights using the display, the rear light stops blinking.

The brake light functions correctly regardless of the lights being on or off. I've checked all the connections, and everything appears to be in order.

Is there anything else I can do, or does something need replacing?

I took a video, which can be found here.

Thanks in advance.

I had a RadRunner 1, the first gen model, and I will say heck yes! It was the only ebike I've owned that never left me stranded. Simple single speed. Throttle with good take-off. Mechanical brakes. Just flat out simple and reliable. Charging would be the only issue to overcome.

Quote from: i100 on January 10, 2025, 09:41:50 AMDid you check the pedal assist sensor if it's dirty, misaligned, or broken.
Umm... pearlbeer says "... loses power after about 10secs of PAS or throttle at any level."
The throttle power shouldn't be affected by the PA sensor, since you can use it without any pedalling.

RadRunner / Re: Rad Runner Battery wont ch...
Last post by John Rose - January 15, 2025, 06:56:40 PM
I believe issues with the fuses would completely prevent charging or discharging (as in powering the motor) at all, but not limit either to some percentage.

I would suspect something with the BMS (Battery Management System) built into the battery.

[later]
Oh. I just noticed that you said it "sat for about a year". It's not good to keep it permanently charged to 100% while in storage, nor to let it drain to zero.

When you say "the battery won't charge past 60%", do you mean that
  • the battery turns the LED green thinking it's fully charged and stops charging, but the bike's display indicates it's only 60% full, or
  • does it continue to keep trying to charge it forever (indicated by keeping the charger's LED red) but when you give up, 60% is what you see on your bike's display when you turn it on?
What do the LEDs on the battery itself say when you push the test button?
