How much power will this add?

Good way to replace a failed stock...
After 2.5 years of light service my stock controller failed - it showed 0% on the battery and wheels didn't move. After talking to RadPower support (or what they call it) I decided that not a single dime of my money will ever go to them again. So, after seeing excellent Area 13 YouTube video and researching a bit, I ordered their Upgrade Kit. The kit arrived promptly, instructions are clear, everything I needed is included. I wish there's a mounting padding includes to fit the controller nicely on the vertical tube, but that can be improvised or 3D printed (any links to STL?). The cables are a bit difficult to tack nicely, but that's how it goes anyway. When it comes to settings, instructions are clear. I set max current to 25A, and still get plenty of power. The Assist settings I have are: 01=25% 02=32% 03=40% 04=50% 05=75% 06=100% 7-10=0% Keep in mind that 06 corresponds to Level 5 on the display. I set "Slow Start" to 1, as 2-second delay for Assist start was way too slow. Be careful when testing, it takes time to get used to the new controller "character". The Assist works differently from the original, it just senses the pedals rotating and put fixed power to the motor. Original seemed to sense pedaling effort and felt more natural. Overall, great buy - and I hope it will last.

Love the extra power but something overheats and shuts down the whole thing. If I remove the battery and replace it, I can restart it.

Great Controller!
This 2.1 upgrade for the RAD Rover 6+ is perfect! It gives this heavy bike the power and the features it should have had in the first place. The display is also bright and sharp with features that are not on the stock controller. Totally worth it. Just make sure you follow the settings recommended in the installation instructions, they are not set that way by default.

Great...
The stock controller is junk. This is a great one to replace it with when it breaks. And gives you a lot more speed and power

One little thing...
The upgrade kit is great. But there is one small glitch. The system allows me to set the assist rations for PAS 1-3 and 5, but not 4. It doesn't matter which value I enter for 4, I get 100% assist. I prefer 50% or 60%. Having only 100% is a problem for me.

Excellent...
The new upgrade was easy to install and works flawlessly. I was left with very few options to be my bike back on the road!
