How do you do a regen test and not mention how much electric power it sends back to battery? Do you even know the main purpose of regen braking?

Can I set it up to charge from 0% only on solar ?

i have a solar roof and two powerwalls, did you tie the ev charger through the sub panel or to the main home panel??

I was impressed that you got the bike into the back of the Tesla. I had previously thought that I would need to get a bike rack and a hitch.

Thanks Pro great video

Is regen on all rad power bikes?

How do you reset the back rim it it in limp mode

How does this work in Texas using Tesla Electric as Utility provider. I have the $25,00 per month for unlimited evening charging? Can I cancel this and just use Charge on Solar?

Hi, how can I reset and remove “charging on solar”? Thanks!

I've gone crazy trying to get this feature to work... To even show up... I'm in Arizona and I have a 16.5kW solar array, 54kWh of powerwall (Powerwall-2 x4) setup as a "Whole Home Backup" and a 2023 Model Y. All software and firmware are at their latest revision and the Wall Connector-3 was purchased when I got the car. I've had two different Tesla Certified contractors out here as well as two different Tesla (proper) Reps - no one has any clue what they are doing. They even referred me to Tesla Car service (been there - done that). It's absolutely maddening!! The trouble began when this feature was released! Tesla says to make sure your Gateway (and Powerwalls by default), Wall Connector and Car are all at a minimum specified software release and that your Wall Connector is "paired". Once I paired the Wall connector, the Wall Connector began showing up on my App. Great, right? But my power readings/energy flow became stupid (if anyone has any knowledge on how to unpair your Wall Connector from the Gateway-2 - please leave the details here). ALL energy flow to the house shows as going to the Wall Connector with the house at ZERO consumption (I've noticed since then that when the car reaches its maximum consumption of 11.5kW [even if the car isn't plugged in], then the rollover comsumption begins to show up in the house). That's when I got Tesla involved with their Powerwall Team. Contractors and Tesla Proper came out without resolution - and let me tell ya, it's like pulling teeth to get these morons out. They installed CT's (Current Transformers/clamps/sensors), Neurios w/CT's (add-on wireless units), changed configurations, nothing worked. There's so much more to the story - house blowing fuses due to misconfigurations, etc, etc,,. I as about losing it. I've discovered recently, on my own, that the Tesla Wall Connector will NEVER change its charge rate automatically/dynamically without a Neurio Meter monitoring the Site Draw. The option in the Wall Connector configuration (not the Gateway configuration) to add a Neurio will NEVER show up until an RS485 communication link has been properly established between the Wall Connector-3 and said Neurio-2. Essentially, a two conductor shielded twisted pair must be present between the Wall Connector-3 and the Neurio-2 before the option will even show up in the Wall Connector-3 Configuration. At this point the Wall Connector-3 can associate current draw with the Gateway-2 via the data it learns from the Neurio-2. Whether it be "Dynamic Charging" or "Charge-on-Solar" which is essentially dynamic charging controlled differently. Bottomline - you've been very fortunate my friend to have someone come out to your home and make this work. Don't discount that. Soooo many Tesla morons out there. I've just recently relegated taking matters into my own hands. I just can't absorb any further incompetence. They've left me no choice (Again, please understand - I've got some stories). I'll come back and comment further when the task at hand has concluded - good or bad.. But, at this point, I've given up on any Tesla based human beings for knowledge or action.. sigh,,,

Way to complicated. I just want to charge my car on solar

can ANYONE please tell me what size screw that is at 4:18? mine broke off finally removed what was left

Does it work with non powerwall inverter?

I don't have a battery, but I DO have excess solar. I'm considering the Emporia system whose EV charger uses the electric smart meter in conjunction with the $40 Emporia Vue via wifi to throttle the charging rate. Do you know if this works?

Just tested and it works! I don't know the safety issue after this 😂

Can I pay for the drilled coupler? I can send it to your address

How do you have the powerwalls setup? You can set how much you want to share with car charging. You could see in the end of the video it was pulling from the powerwalls to meet the 10 amps you set.

Fantastic video! I have 7 Tesla Powerwalls (in a townhouse) and Tesla Solar Panels and a 2020 Model S … Currently, I cannot use the system due to 2012 - 2020 vehicles don’t work yet… :-(

Still riding the 2017 radcity? I remember your videos were real helpful when I first bought mine all those years ago.

Hey, I tried to charge with solar but I don’t have the option available in the Tesla app and is updated to the latest version, any help about this ?

Great explanation!

Just sit and take the rain for a comparison video sir

Won't it stip the threads? Metal on metal.

Damn I need to check the manual for my trailer....I be going 30 mph..I've had my ebike 1.5 months and I've put 200+miles...1000w fat tire e bike 48v ,15.6ah, 748.8wh,75nm,30°gradeability

Hey, Shane. So it's been 5 years since you made this video. Do you still have your RadCity and, if so, how it is performing? Any loss in performance due to an aging battery, or anything related to the wear and tear on its electric motor? BTW, I've taken your advice and try not to overly stress my electric motor by going too high in watts -- I typically use PAS 3 to be my max. setting for hills, which is fine -- I didn't buy this bike to serve as an electric motorcycle. :-) Hey, btw, I recall you mentioning awhile back that you're from the islands? If so, I hope that if you know anyone on Maui, that they are doing okay and were unaffected by the recent wild fires. My dad's side is from both Maui and Oahu. 🤙

Putting it back on is much more difficult. I am having problems with the chain and the black piece. Is there a video showing how to put it back on?

I spent 25 dollars to fix myself. 10 on tube that were too small, 5 on the right size, 5 on tool and 5 on green slime.

Weel you didnt talk about how o put it back together some of us had to figure out the hardway you have those kinda like lock washers on the tire when you put the back on those are one of thethings u need to put onright because they do fall like a washer go look at the tire they all out easy which way do they go back on?hmmm

CT love! I'm in Meriden. About to do a roadtrip with it and this is helpful info.Thanks!

LVC Me mum loves me

My regenerative breaking is not working on my rad city 4 it’s not putting power back in the battery when I hit the breaks

My regenerative breaking is not working it’s not putting power back in the battery when I hit the breaks

Thanks for this video. It would have took me forever to try and figure out a solution on my own. However, I have an Ariel Rider D Class eBike and I had to buy the #4 step drill bit to open the hole up to 9/16 (one size larger than 1/2). $50!!!! Also for anyone who needs to do this.. here's a hack-- buy from Home Depot, use it, and return it. Especially if you'll likely never need to use this bit again. They are VERY pricey and Home Depot can afford it. XD

That’s some really clear display , which this place is that?

Hi and thank you for this very interesting and informative video. One concern I have relates to what you said about not using the full 750W for climbing and to instead strive for a max. of 500W used on climbs. I didn’t read or hear about this type of limit placed on my RadCity Step-Thru 3 that I recently purchased. I’m over 190 lbs. and live amid some very steep hills for which I use the max. PAS of 5 and in the 700s for watts used. If possible, can you direct me to this caution that Rad Power has provided to end users? Liked and subscribed and thanks for your channel!

Hi there, I have the Radcity Canadian version (48 v 500w) but yours seems to be different in setting the max speed. I can set to 40 kph as yours allows but I cannot set less than 20 kph, everything below 20 always cuts out a 20. Could I impose on you to try setting yours to let's say 16 kph should cut out at 10 mph. When I set that it still goes and holds at 20 kph. Also my pas1 puts out 106 watts with full battery, I see yours puts out less. Interesting difference. Thanks in advance.

I have the same bike. After about 480km or so, my odometer reset itself. It's currently at about 120km, but should be reading about 600km. I don't know what I did or if it just reset by itself. Is there a way to enter the approximate correct milage back into my bike?

Nice video, very informative. Thanks!

My 2018 RadCity motor cut out with 2 battery bars still showing after 62 miles using mainly pedal assist 1. I thought that I had spare capacity, so I was using pedal assist 3 to get up a hill. It did not get far up the hill. That was *not* a pleasant surprise. It is a very heavy bike when the battery is depleted.

And thank you. That last tip helps me get up building steps. Great run through the modes. Gracias.

This video applies to ALL EVs! If you have free charging available in your area, use it. My RadCity eBike helps me quickly get to and from the car (8 mile round trip). However, a regular bike will do OR use it as an opportunity to get a good run in…way too far for me though :)

My RadWagon 4 has over 1900 miles on it. I bought an extra battery for long trips; several times a year I've ridden from Portsmouth to Williamsburg, Virginia! about 60 miles. I also go frequently round trip to the ocean front in Virginia Beach, about 55 miles. I'm loving the biking lifestyle!

How do you like the phone mount? Do you have a link for it?

Hi there, I'm curious, did you need to make any modifications to your RadCity to attach the trailer?

The screen on my bike did the same thing as yours, where it went slightly darker on a portion of the left and stayed bright as new on a portion of the right. I don't find it to be a big deal in any way, just interesting to see both bike screens did the exact same thing in almost exactly the same place. Thanks for the video!

I just boughg a Radcity 4. Same as yours. The first day out I did a range test. Not throttle only. Just regular driving in mostly PAS 2 and 3 sometimes 4. I went 66km(41 miles). I stopped the test when the 4th(of 5) bars was going off and on. I figured I had about 10-15% battery left. I don't think I will do a throttle only test.

This is an old RadCity e-bike but if you have a newer RadCity, let me know in the comments what throttle only range you are getting!

same for radmini?

On my regular (non-electric) bicycle, I only get about 20 Miles per Snickers bar.

Important tip. Never charge a cold li-ion battery.
