Rad Rover 6+ Upgrade Kit V2.1 - 6 plus

speed indicator not working, shows 2.4 when 20 km. same with mph.

Plug and play. I ordered without noticing the note indicating not compatible with the RR6+ step thru, but if you install the battery cable first since it's a little short, it works fine. Jenny from Area 13 responded to my questions promptly about some of the custom settings. Lots of power now, can't wait to try it at the hunt camp steep hills...

Even though setting up the kit is pretty straightforward no directions needed. However, I feel you could’ve got a little more in depth using the meter function. I experience issues changing from kilometers to miles per hour. I set the bike for miles per hour? I did not get a proper reading back I didn’t get a reading at all.

When I first installed it, the speedometer would only register to about 8 mph and the trip meter and max speed was off. I had the Max speed showing 99.9 mph and my trip odometer was doubled. I reached out to Area 13 and they had me try some different settings in the advanced parameters section, however that didn’t correct the problem. I finally got the trip meter to be accurate through trial and error by setting the tire diameter to 18 but the speedometer is still way off only reading about half. I would rather know how far I went over how fast. I’m still waiting for Area 13 to get me the correct settings but for some reason they don’t know what they should be and are waiting to hear from the manufacturer? I find this odd that they don’t know what the settings are supposed to be and a little concerned that not enough field testing was done before rolling this out to the public. That being said the performance has improved, and I can really feel the torque when climbing steep hills. When I rode it hard using full power and throttle the battery went down pretty fast but on my last full charge I was able to get 37 miles before completely exhausting the battery. I did some pretty steep hills however I was taking it easy and not using the full power or throttle very often so the range is still pretty good for me. I stayed in 2 most of the time (see pics) and for the steep hills would just use full to get me up to the top. One thing I noticed is that the throttle is governed by what setting you are in so no full throttle on setting number 1, only about 8 mph and then 2 will get up to about 12-14, etc. I also have an issues with not getting full pedal assist and it seems the throttle and pedal assist isn’t balanced as I can get more out of the throttle than pedaling? I’m hoping these are settings that just need to be adjusted but I don’t know anything about e-bikes or what the settings even represent so I’m waiting to hear for Area 13 on what the correct settings are supposed to be. In all I like the upgrade but a little disappointed with Area 13 for not knowing how to use the product they are selling. I’m hoping that someone will read this and look at the pics of the advanced settings and give me some guidance. Thanks!

Still some issues that need to be resolved

The upgrade kit works very well. Lot more power. Kit is easy to install. Video on YouTube explains the installation very well. I had to contact the supplier with respect to couple of settings in advanced menu. Response was prompt and productive, and issue was addressed within few hour. Very impressive. I recommend this kit. Enjoy!!

I have not had a chance to install it yet. I went out of town probably the day after that it came so I will try to get it installed in the next week or two but hopefully it will go well thank you.
