What’s the best charging method to get the most out of your rad rover6 battery? Does the battery have a memory?

Brands often get a bit overwhelmed with the holidays, I’d recommend trying again this week since we’re past Black Friday!

This has to do with which motor your bike is equipped with. The regenerative braking feature can only be accomplished on a direct drive hub motor. The 6 plus was designed with a geared hub. And that was on purpose because a geared hub has other benefits more applicable to this type of bike (more off-road worthy). It has a lot of low-end power which is a lot better for climbing gravel roads, biking through sand and dirt, etc. It’s not a BAD thing the 6 plus has this motor….it’s a GODO thing given what it was designed for. You simply chose the wrong bike for your needs, which is not a reason to lose love for this company. Not their fault. They have plenty of info on their website about these things…you just missed it. People like me, who chose this bike for what it was designed for, are THRILLED with the geared hub motor. Here’s an article on Rad’s website to help you learn more. https://www.radpowerbikes.com/blogs/the-scenic-route/know-your-motor-direct-drive-vs-geared-hub

Great review!! I have been looking at Rad bikes for a few years now but as a female, I always thought they were too bulky and felt like I was riding a tank! But I did try this bike out when I was at the Vancouver store and I thought, finally RAD figured out that women like riding off-road! I am curious if you could do a review on the LIV Tempt 2 E bike. I cant seem to find any reviews on the bike!

Yesss, it is sad that there is now regenerative braking!

I purchased the 6 plus thinking it would be similar but better that my radrover, first ebike 2 years ago, so I missed one of the features I felt was very important to me. There is no regenerative braking. What’s that? going downhill, slight brakes applied, it GENERATES POWER. This is very important to me because there are lots of mountains and hills in my part of Colorado. I ride one mountain, up 3,000 feet and at the top, I am down to 15% power. Then, on the way down, I would generate enough to be back at 90%. That, for me was part of the fun. Now, with my new bike, I don’t have that option. The RAD 6 does not have it. Nor do they mention it anywhere in the features on their web site. I feel less love for RAD, now that I am a Rad 6 plus owner. Wish I had not sold my first RAD.

You can up the speed to 25 miles an hour via a hidden menu.

Enjoyed your insight into RR 6.
I am thinking of changing out the shifter
to go under bar style.
Have any suggestions in order I purchase the correct shifter

How much assembling do you have to do, when it’s shipped to you?

It doesn’t appear as though you can unlock that. At least not that we’ve found.

Is it possible to unlock the 20 mph limit?

By: Josh

Josh — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 15:37:56 +0000

We bought one (we had 2 Rad Rover 5’s before) and truly dislike it. It’s incredibly SLOW with a max speed of 20mph and you can’t custom change it like the older Rad Rovers. So you’re stuck at 20mph while everyone else around is going around 25mph. That causes you to get into more dangerous situations with traffic as you’re passed often.

I wish I could return the Rad Rover plus but we didn’t save the entire original box so Rad Power said no. Get any other bike instead and save yourself from the SLOWNESS

Yes Tom, you are able to bleed the brakes if needed. The bike does not come with the bleed kit so you would have to order it online. It also may be worth taking to a local bike shop to see if they have the correct bleed kit for your brakes. Thanks for reading.

Does this bike have a plug in system on the brake lines for easy repair or replacement like the Aventon Level bike?

Would be useful to have the best and worst speed, hill climb etc results each time to compare with current test bike.
