    Rad power upgrade sine wave 6+

    Posted by Josh Stephenson on Jun 21st 2025

    I used this with a city 5+ wheel/motor and harness. It works great- I haven’t figured out the speedometer- it’s in km and seems off- but my speed sensor could be bad in my wheel I can’t verify. Everything else is great but I miss the tunability of the square wave kit- slightly. The battery life is slightly better than the square wave kit, but not as different as I expected. Overall I would buy this over the square wave. ( I also have a city 5+ wheel that I changed the plug on and run the square wave kit).

    What the RR6+ should have been from the factory!!

    Other than two different size torx screws on my bike instead of the two 10’s in the instructions, the conversion was a piece of cake. I mounted the controller box on the rear rack supports which helped me clean up the miles of extra cabling Rad put on the bike. Torque is awesome! Level 3 of the new controller is like 5 in the old one and I had to dial down 5 to 90% to keep from over powering the original systems. I was going to get a different bike this summer and consider my RR6+ a secondary bike but the $130 spent in the new controller changed all of that. Get it!

    Performance: Amazing, better than I thought it would be. Screen display is amazing. I love that the throttle is controlled by what PAS you have the bike set at. Thanks again.

    Gutless to glorious!

    I bought this upgrade because my Radrover 6+ just didn’t have the power to get up a mountain. Wow what a difference this new controller makes. The improved power also makes for easier maneuvering on the trail. And I love that it’s so configurable.

    Unfortunately I believe I received a defective unit. It had some apparent damage that I noticed immediately when I opened the box, and it couldn't have happened in shipping as the small epoxy like coating PC that was missing on one of the ears that was bent approximately 90 wasn't in the box. There was also a tear on the 'potting' of one of the leads coming out of the controller. Which leads me to believe; it was dropped sometime prior to shipping. I decided to try anyway as if it was only 'cosmetic' and it worked well I could live with it. On throttle only it was great, loved the improved acceleration! As did I the upgraded display. However in the assist mode it was a whole different story. Brakes would not disingage the power, there was a big and variable delay of power assist after having quit peddling.Which cause a couple very close calls. I went into more detail with Kyle. But to sum it up; I had to return it, the 'update' didn't work well for me but the customer service was top notch and received my refund promptly. Will definitely keep watching Area 13 videos, and keep in mind for future upgrades. Thank you, Paul Brown
