People can say what they will about the fat tires, but I do love the fact that I can ride over ANYTHING and just keep on rolling. 😎 Great test. I tend to hang out around PAS 2 and blip the throttle taking off from a stop, until the pedals can catch up! I'm surprised you got more range out of the throttle-only. Great info!

Yeap, fat tires are fun. There are some who will not agree, but thats okay. Like what you like and others can like what they like. When I am riding alone I am usually in PAS 3. When I ride with my wife I am usually in PAS 2. My legs get into a rythem easier in PAS 3 and keep a steady speed and pace.

@@Whitywolfyeah that it is really annoying. It would be possible, and initially they sold the US versions. But that, at least in Germany, would mean they are „Pedelec“ and needed insurance and a small licence plate. I think RadPowerBikes just skipped a lot of trouble and easy access to the market with going so low in W‘s :(

An electric bike is an easy way to explore the area. I use a regular bike and keep pedaling but at some point, I will go electric also or maybe use both. Good idea to test out how far you can go without pedaling.
@theridewithlance
Жыл бұрын
I am pedaling 99 percent of the time, usually in PAS 2 or 3 just so I can get some exercise in. It also feels more natural to pedal then use throttle only. I was having a real hard time during this throttle only test as my legs wanted to pedal. Have a wonderful week.

But how exactly does throttle only beat PAS 5? Cant wrap my mind around that one since you're pedaling in PAS.. would expect that to beat throttle only by 5 to 10 miles not the other way around 🤔
@theridewithlance
Жыл бұрын
It boggled me to. I did notice when I was in PAS 5 the battery was running at 750 watts more times then it was on throttle only. In throttle only it would hit max speed and back off on the watts unless the bike slowed down. This may have made the difference.

The gearing for the Rad Power Bikes is set for a max of 20-22 mph. You are not pedaling much for power if you set your cut off speed to the max of 24.8 mph (40kmh). Much easier to use the throttle if you do need to go 24.8 mph. I once had the rover pedal crank bolt come loose and the pedal crank fall off and needed the throttle to get home. Another time I wiped out single track riding and broke my handlebar stem at the bolts (floppy handlebars. It was very difficult to pedal; but, way easier to hit the throttle with one hand and hold the stem in my other hand to ride the 7 miles home.
