Replacing front Chainring with a 56 tooth sprocket on Radrunner

 Replace front chainring to a bigger on Radrunner


Litepro Road Folding Bike 130BCD 45-58T Chainring Bicycle Chainwheel Bolts CNC


"But the key is to pick an afternarket chainring with 130mm BCD (bolt circle diameter), designed for 3/32" chain. You'll likely also need a new set of "standard length" bolts. since the stock ones on the Runner are longer to accommodate the inner and outer guard rings.

" - K. Hunter

"Bought an extra set of standard bolts, and kept the Rad bolts together with the rest of the stock components."


"It made a small, but noticeable difference. You'll need a shorter (standard length) bolt set. I added an extra inch of chain, but it wasn't absolutely required. Now that my top speed is "unlocked"....I might go with a 58T." - K. Hunter


Order some short extra bolts, 8mm or so. Photo K. Hunter


"Underside of bolt head to end of threads is about 8mm, but a bolt 10mm long should also work, provided the mating "nut" is short enough to not bottom out."

K. Hunter


If you need to replace the chain, this might be a good option:

KMC X8 Chain - 7/8-speed - silver

Dimensions: 1/2" x 3/32" | bolt length 7,30 mm

Material: steel, nickel-plated

Ebike / Elcykel Biltema Yosemite 20" Fat Tire

 Made a short video showing some features of the Biltema Yosemite Ebike here in Sweden.

The frame is made in Taiwan, it has 7 speed and a Bafang rear geared hub motor.




New motorcycle tires on Ebike / Rawbike fatbike, Michelin A39 or Michelin City Grip 2

Replace 20x4.0 Kenda tire to motorcycle Michelin A39 tire


Yes, they are more weight, yes they resit puncture on another level. 

Moped tire sizes are measured at the inside-diameter of the tire (just like motorcycles), but bicycle tires are measured by the average outside-diameters. A 16" motorbike tyre fits on to a 20" (407mm) bicycle rim.


406mm is the ISO standard and is what you'll likely come across.



If you want a thinner tire, check this out:

"super easy to put on if you get the tire warmed up (leave it in a car, put it in the sun"

Radrunner motorcycle tire with good result

"currently using shinko 241s 3:00x16, they handle great and not as heavy as regular motorcycle tires so you dont lose much range nor speed" - Jeffrey G.

You can also fit 20x4.0 on Radrunner:

"Bra pris för två nya michelindäck, montering efter alla konstens regler, rengöring av fälgar, byte av bromsbelägg (jag hade med egna nya), 1500 kr för allt. Kvitto med moms.

2 kilo tryck i framdäcket och 2.5 kilo där bak, rullar bra, och tyst." L. Berghe


"I have only driven it 5-6 kilometers since the new tires so I thought I would wait with a deeper analysis. It is quite clear, however, that the Rawbike will be more stable while traveling, no wobble anymore. Before, I experienced that the front tire sometimes tracked and climbed away on bumps, this tire is completely round, and feels "rounder", more stable.

My hope is that these tires will withstand wear much better than the leaf-thin Kenda tires. It rolls better too, even though I had my Kendas pumped hard." - L. Berghe

Michelin A39

100/80 – 16

"Michelin sets the standard for small- to medium-displacement motorcycle tyres. Effective on all the types of roads, the A39 and M39 combine comfort and easy handling. Their durable rubber compound makes them some of the most economical tyres you’ll find."

M. Timbang Chooses Michelin City Grip 2 110/70-16

This is the bike that has new City Grip 2 tires


Credits for photos: M. Timbang

Motorcycle tire and 6.32 kg. The reviews for this tire are very good in wet slippery road and good traction in pavement specially wet and better for puncture but not on gravels or off-road.

It's heavy but ride feel in rain is awesome, good tire for curving and good traction in rain


This is 110/70-16 and compatible with 20" fat bike rims.


The rim measurement from end to end is 16 inch plus 2 inch of tire on each side equals 20 inches altogether.

----------------

 Stock "premium" tires weighed 1.5 lbs each, new set 5.5 lbs each! They are a game changer!

Trailer hitch on a Radrunner

Trailer to your Radrunner?

"If anyone is looking to fit a trailer hitch, this is what I did. Used stepper drill bit to make my hitch plate a bit larger and used Dremel to make a notch for the hex head bolt to fit. Then placed the plate behind the axle nut, replacing the washer with my plate. Also, I found a larger hex head bolt to replace the crappy one that came with the bike since it just stripped as soon as a tried to remove it, so now it’s the same size hex head as the other side." - M. V. Sant

"Pardon the crudeness of this example , hopefully it will help illustrate my idea a little better.

Once the three hole bracket is fabed I would weld the replacement part to outer surface ." - James Mj Buche

---------------  -------------

"I don't like the idea of a side hitch so I built this. I also found Rustolium paint to match the green"

- Gary Edwards

" The trailer is an Action Packer container by Rubber Maid bolted to a flat traile" - G Edwards

I den här videon är medgrundaren med och berättar lite om Radrunner.


Tror man beställer här: https://radpowerbikes.eu/



Ändra från 250W till 750W på EU version

J. Zetterman:

"Ja min är en 250 W EU modell, det står 250W på cykeln. Även i displayen så står det "250 W" när man har på assistans läge 5 trots att det då går mellan 30-34 KM/H efter att ställt om den. Fast det blir såklart olaglig efter inställningen eftersom den ger assistans upp till den farten."


Radrunner, coola cyklar med nästan moppedäck.

Bafang G310

Bafang G310 Problem 


2:02:25

"We found that the G310 motors, as much as we love them have been one of our highest percentage motor failures of our base that we had to deal with. We've had issues with the magnets coming lose. [inaudible], we've had issues with gears failures. That's obvious by suppling them with more power than they can take. Rolling back the phase limits in the motor controller in any of those systems."
