    Easy Install, Great power update, Very...

    Posted by Craig Mally on Feb 27th 2024

    Installed the upgrade kit last week and went riding for a bit. Immediate power upgrade noticed along with increased information available on the DS103 display. If you want more power out of your RR6plus, this will do the trick. I have a rear rack and installed the controller there next to the downtube. Just be aware that with all that new power comes a significant drain on the battery. Range will drop significantly if you are using 4 or 5 or heavy throttle. It will pull down voltage for a moment and then will slowly rise back up again. I did a steep climb up 4 miles ( 1500ft rise), and then a total of 12 miles on 1/2 battery. I weigh 175 lbs. Hope that helps. I would buy this again in a minute.

    The Upgrade Kit works great. I've had some issues on my end, but thanks to the team at Area 13 I know what needs to be fixed to get it up and running. Thank you all!

    I live in an area with many hills. Upgrade allows you pedal normally and the motor gets enough power to handle any grade of hill. Torque and power are amazing.

    Before the upgrade, my RR-6+ was a real slug and after the upgrade wow, now we’re talking power and torque. Area 13 was very quick to walk me through the settings to turn this bike into the way it was meant to be. Also, this bike now blows the doors off my Himiway cruiser. I did notice only about a 2 mph gain to high end speed but the increased torque makes up for it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their RR 6+.

    I have a RadRover 6+ ST and it was very easy to install the Area 13 controller. There were only 3 wires to unplug from my old controller and plug in to the new one. The bike’s performance is outstanding with the Area 13 controller and I like the new display. I give Area 13 high marks for their support while installing it and for designing a great product.

    Upgrade can not be simpler. I had a few questions about settings and Area 13 was prompt in answering. I made a few settings changes to suit my riding. i had to change wheel size to 28" with stock tires. I also changed the Turn Gear setting to 1 so i can set throttle max depending on PAS setting. (helps me just cruise the beach). Not as many settings as KT system but is much quieter. Top speed is the same as stock but getting there is waaay better. i use PAS 4 and bump up to 5 only when passing. No brainer upgrade. Motor does get warm on long throttle cruises but nothing to be worried about.
