@@forgetyourlife I’m sorry I don’t know. All I can say is that I have a Radrunner, purchased from the EU store in July 2021 and have now installed the EggRider and everything works very well.
Another good video. Great, clear communication and useful content. Thank you. I’d like to see a little more about how the bike performs up hills and maybe some mild off-road use if at all possible?
Thanks. I'll make a follow up video with my experiences going up hills and impact on battery. So far it performs very well on hills. Full torque and max power (1000w) all the way up.
If you want to feel what it’s like to release all restrictions change out the controller to the 35AMP unit. This tripled the power output on my Canadian spec Rad runner from 500 watt to over 1600. Top speed is still about the same, but you can get there in a flash
Well, doesn't that also require a new display? If so then that's quite a lot more cost and work. I'm also not even sure the motor can go over 1000 watt on the EU version. The EggRider is a very simple upgrade for just 100€ and it lets the motor output 1000 watt.
@@BornToGetBusy Yes new display, but if you are reasonably handy you can put it together. My understanding is that all Rad Runners have the same 500 Watt motor regardless of country.
Great and all, But I prefer range over power.. All those watts need juice and that battery won't last long! "But you can tame the settings" What's the point in spending that money doing the work just to hold it back? Nah, I'd rather get more miles. "Get a second battery" now we talking hella money altogether! If I wanted to spend that much I'd just buy more powerful bike lol. The egg ridder is a perfect middle ground, It lifts restrictions gives you a good boost and be tamed easily with a touch of a button, It's plug and play and only costs 100. That's far more worth it if anything.
I agree. The EggRider saves me 10 minutes on my daily commute compared to the stock display. That quickly adds up and alone is worth the upgrade. Besides, there's no point in going faster than 30 km/h when riding downtown. It's simply not safe riding faster among other bikes and pedestrians.
@@BornToGetBusy Please, don't make this a safety issue to rationalise the lack of speed. It is what it is and we have to accept it but let's not dress it up in order to make us feel better. Regular cyclists can do 30mph (48ish km). I've been on my motorbike at 30mph and had cyclists pass me, so 30km (18mph) is nothing. It's not about using top speed all the time, but having the option and using the speed the road conditions allow as it suits us.

Thank you for the helpful review. I test rode a Radrunner 1 and found it great except that downhill my feet were gong too fast and with a single speed, no gear to adjust. Would the Eggrider help that as the motor wouldn't cut out? I can't get my head around it!
Nope, going downhill the motor will still cut out after reaching it's max speed even with the Eggrider. As you mention, no gears so your legs will just go round without affecting speed. Basically, there is no way to get more speed out of it. So downhill, I just sit back and relax. On this style of heavy bike why would you want to go much faster downhill anyways :)
Great detailed video, thank you. Question for you or someone out there, I am in the US and have the same bike and would like to get this display, will it work for mine and do your lights/tail light/brake light still operate the same? Thanks
Hi Matthew The bike in the US has less limits than the EU version so I'm not sure what benefit you would get out of it except better torgue. The main point for the EU version was unlocking all the restricted features such as higher speed, torque and no throttle limit. My lights still work the same which was a main reason for getting the EggRider.
Please note the Egg Rider is another £125, and the motor is 500 not 750w as in the US model. It makes you sick of the nanny (insurance dominated) state we live in!
It's a Bafang hub drive. Not sure about the model but the EggRider shows it outputs maximum 1000w. It's sold as a 250w motor to comply with EU standards but that's only limited by the controller. I assume the EggRider removes this limitation.
@@BornToGetBusy Thanks you for the reply John. Ive since been over to the Big Game Bikes site and they do a video explaining all. Keep up the good work.
This looks awesome. Does it really works on the standard EU Radrunner 2 with the simple controller? I have this simple comtroller like you're showing in your video, also the radrunner 2, but I'm not sure which battery it works for. Mine is the YT 48132-QB-E being 48V 14 Ah / 672Wh When using the throttle now, my motor only helps starting but does not excelerate to max speed. Will mounting the Eggrider really do the sames as in your video?
I don't think it matters which battery you have. The controller should be the same on the two bikes. As far as I know only the display is different so it should work. But check with the supplier to confirm.
Not thar much different from the Canadian version speed wise with eggrider on but you can definitely hear the difference in power of the motor. Thanks for doing this it's interesting to see the before and after of EU controllers with the egg rider... if anyone has a non display Rad in the EU this upgrade is a no brainer- do it and what a world of a difference
Hello, thanks for this review 👌 I'm thinking of upgrading to the eggrider but I'm worried of getting fines because it is no longer a no throttle EU bike. I guess it is easy to change from off road to road/legal mode. But is it really legal?
Well, I can't really offer legal advice but I'm pretty sure the ability to ride only using throttle at max speed is not compliant with the original certifications of the bike. This makes it more like a moped/scooter. I doubt any police will stop you to verify it much less give you a fine but it might be an issue in case of a serious accident/insurance claim should you be at fault. You can by a push of a button on the EggRider display toggle between Road/Offroad settings. The Road settings can be set to comply with local regulations.
As John has said, you can set 2 profiles, and it can be set so that you have to long press the 'Mode' button to activate the off road (illegal) settings, which makes it harder to accidentally activate. It shouldn't be an issue with police, so long as you don't draw attention to yourself by riding dangerously or breaking other road rules. Only issue will be if you are involved in an accident. I generally use the legal road profile around town, but when out on country lanes, away from other people open up for full throttle use.
Great video, I got the EggRider because of it. I can't get my pedal assist to work like it did on the stock display, does yours work and if it does how did you make pedal assist work?
Well, in its original configuration the Radrunner 1 EU versions doesn't output its maximum torgue so going up hill was a bit sluggish. This completely changed with the EggRider which made the motor run at max even up hills. Its a huge difference. I highly recommend this upgrade if you plan on riding hills. Only downside is it drains the battery a bit faster but thats expected.
I'm not entirely sure. I don't think the bike has a new controller so it should work. But better confirm it from a pro, e.g. Big Game Bikes where I bought the EggRider.
@@BornToGetBusy I think the displays on the Rad 1 and 32 are the same. Apparently the only difference in in the angel of the steering and the depth of the seat so the controller should be the same

Well, the Eggrider is not really for increasing speed. However, it should increase your torque as long as you program it to fit your Mate. Google it and you'll find people who have installed it on a Mate.
Well, it was a bit sluggish especially when compared to it now with the Eggrider. I mean it was still OK, I did ride it all original for 1.5 years and got by just fine.

It's a 10 min upgrade.
Hello i’m thinking about buy a radrunner but i havé à High Hill to go to work. I m wondering if thé eu version can climb easy i havé big doubt with a 250 w motor but it seems impossible to purchase us 🇺🇸 version of it un France
Well, if you get the EggRider the motor will output its maximum 1000W and offer good torque. This is fine for big hills. Without the EggRider the motor is limited and can be a bit sluggish up hills. Note that the EggRider will negatively impact battery/range.
@@BornToGetBusy Someone said, about 3 months ago, in this comment section, that this was changed, and the Eggrider might not work on newer models. You cant confirm that, right? :/ Because i have the same issue, 12 km to go to work, and at least 3km of it is going up, not massive hills, but on a normal bike, i get to work already dead, and my job requires my legs functional xD
@@jhonnydasbr5367 Yeah, I'm afraid I dont know whether or not the EggRider will work on newer Rad models. But you can reach out to Big Game Bikes and they should be able to confirm. I have about 14 km to work with some hills and the bikes makes it to work and back with no issue. Does need a charge at night though.
I'm not familiar with the RR+ or the speed hack. But the EggRider is more about increasing torque than speed. I got a few more km/h but a big increase in torque from the EggRider.
I got them off Amazon: www.amazon.de/-/en/CHAOYANG-Sandstorm-Bicycle-20x4-00-30tpi/dp/B07X8Q32J6. Note that they puncture very easily but after installing Tannus Amour I dont have any issues. I will upload a video soon about that upgrade.
I have the same bike and I put the new display and it marks 19.5 miles I don’t know why I will connect the original I will like to get that display . Can you help me with it .
Would you say the fact this bike has really big tires helps with stability in rain and different weather conditions overall or not? Trying to decide between the radrunner plus and a more regular electric bike to commute all year round
I didn’t think I would like the semi fat tires on my radrunner plus. I thought that if you let off the throttle or quit peddling that the tire wouldn’t coast as far and would be harder to peddle but I can’t tell if that happens.
Personally, I dont feel the fat tires do anything good for stability. It might be because the bike is so heavy but I have had the tires slipping in wet conditions or when riding on gravel when pressed hard around corners at full speed. But I mainly use the bike for regular commutes so its fine as long as you ride as per the conditions and dont push it too much :)
I see no disadvantages with the fat tires. When I run over a stone in the road I hardly feel it. The same size stone on my old trek which I routinely rode 10 miles a day sometimes 15 to 20 miles, would make the bike wobble. I don’t purposely ride my bike in the rain, because I can’t stand the idea of rust on my beautiful radrunner plus. I so believe the radrunner mini stepthru would be just as good and it folds. If you get I get caught in the rain, I put a light coat of oil on my frame, and especially on the shocks, chain, etc., which I wipe off the excess oil. The only disadvantage of the stepthru that I know of was the fear that it would not be as sturdy as a non step thru because of the triangle shape completed by the top bar. Upon receiving my radrunner via fedex and seeing the large frame and brace I have no doubt that the stepthru design of radrover products is every bit as strong as my old trek which I loved. The stepthru is much safer for older riders as myself and is especially so in an emergency stop in that you can get your feet on the ground quickly. Additionally, if your are 50 years or older, if you don’t need a stepthru, I believe the radrover frame will last a lifetime and at some point a stepthru will be safer for you. A wide tire always is expected to be more stable in automobiles and I expect it is the same on a bike.
@@martinmaddox5315 good points. As a daily commuter bike, I have often riden my Radrunner in rain and snow. Only parked it over night in the shed and did normal lubrication of moving parts once in a while. Almost 3 years later there is no rust to be seen except a bit on the kick stand. The bike is being sold as a "utility" bike so I wouldn't worry about riding it in most conditions. As for the tires, sure, you might not feel rocks as much with fat tires but stability on a bike not only depends on the width of the tire but more how you ride it and in what conditions. Again, ride how you are comfortable with for your age - the Radrunner is very heavy.
I got them off Amazon: www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07X8Q32J6 They are of poor quality and I had frequent flats so was looking to change but after I installed Tannus Amour, I haven't had a flat. I will upload a video of the installation of Tannus soon.
@@BornToGetBusy Tak... Så har jeg selv fået en Radrunner2 , og en Eggrider.. Hvordan er dine settings? jeg kører max 25kmt og max 15 Amp, og så Current Mode.. 10/10 20/20 30/30 osv i Power/Speed settings.. PAS 4=20 Km/t PAS 5 er 25Km/t..( Bruger ikke OFFRoad mode'n)..vh Allan Berg, Vejle
@@allanberg Tillykke med din nye cykel. Håber du bliver glad for den! Jeg skal lige checke indstillingerne men jeg har ikke ændret noget siden jeg satte den til. Den kommer dog op på over 25km/t i PAS 5.
Well, for the EU version of the Radrunner, the Eggrider dosn't give a whole lot more speed. I guess it went from the stock 25km/h to about 28/29km/h. The main improvement is in constant max torque especially up hills and the throttle working constantly. This alone makes the bike feel much more capable than without the Eggrider even though the maximum speed is not that much higher. Note that it's probably illegal to have the Radrunner go much faster depending on your country as its not classified as a moped/speed pedelec and could also cause insurance issues in case of an accident.
Hmm... depends a lot on how you ride it. I always ride at max assist. Also did before the Eggrider. I guess I lost about 25-30% of range. But I don't mind as the ride is much more enjoyable.
In its stock version, it was when UK was part of EU. Don't think that has changed. Unfortunately, Rad Power Bikes doesn't sell their bikes anymore in Europe (except refurbished).
@@sinitrip621 hmm... I really don't know. Perhaps a setting issue, tire size maybe. There's a Facebook group for the Eggriderb with a lot of setting discussions. Maybe you can ask there.
Yes, they do. The throttle is just limited to 6kmh to comply with the EU/UK laws. With the eggrider v2 here, you can unlock it to work all the way to full speed. :)
Well, the speed is only slightly increased. It mainly changes the torque and unlocks max power throughout the speed range. It also lets you use the throttle for full speed and not just to 5 km/h.
I actually never went into my settings nor have I changed anything. It was all set up out of the box from the shop: biggamebikes.com/product/eggrider-v2-bluetooth-ebike-display/ Not sure if that's optimal but it's worked for me.
Well... I would say it takes about 25-30% off the range. I have about 14 km to work and I need to charge every night after going to work and back with about 20% left on the battery, which is not enough to get me to work. Not that I always ride with max pedal assist (level 5).
@@morgie8 just a quick update. It's been freezing here recently and I've been experiencing range of only around 20-25km. Note that this is with max pedal assist (PAS 5) and a battery which is 2 years old. It seems to offer more range when it gets warmer :)
Not 100% sure but it looks like the display is the same as on the Radrunner. Perhaps the controller as well. Reach out to Big Game Bikes or another seller of the Eggrider and verify that it would work.
Have you ever been stopped by police since you've had the Eggrider? Because now you're no longer EU conform. I've been seriously thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure if the authorities are wise to it.
Nope, never been stopped at all. It's not obvious that I have the Eggrider. I never ride just with throttle which would be a give away and not legal. There are two modes so if you ever were to be stopped you could just switch modes.
Sandstorm tires: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07X8Q32J6. They suck big time and got a flat several times until I installed Tannus tire armour. Haven't had a flat since.
Sadly I only can find the EggRider V2 and on a german shop there it says it is not compatible with RadBikes. Has anybody a source for the V1 in Europe? Also big games bikes has a warning on their page: "The Eggrider maximum voltage is 60v. If you have a 52v battery then fully charged your battery will produce roughly 58v. If your bike voltage surges beyond 60v it will damage your EggRider and your warranty is void. Bikes with regenerative braking and using 52v batteries could surge beyond 60v!" Seems this device isn't all that great as it is presented in this video.
Well, I'm using the EggRider V2 on my Rad and so are many others. I don't know about voltage surging but my Radrunner dosn't have regenerative braking. If you worry about these things and the T&C, then just don't buy it.
@@BornToGetBusy Ah sorry, I've overlooked the "regenerative breaking" part. So there is no danger for a normal RadRunner. And according to other sites the EggRider is compatible with the RadRunner, but not with the RadRhino and a few others. Guess I'll consider buying the V2 then. 👍
@@massterrbarber yeah as long as you can connect to the controller. Just make sure the two are compatible. My Radrunner didn't have a LCD display. Just a basic switch for speed settings etc. as shown in the video.
Thanks for the reply and just wanted to let you know I don't have a LCD screen and it was not part of the bike so I never had or have a screen so does that mean I'm compatible for the egg runner ?

Hello i’m thinking about buy a radrunner but i havé à High Hill to go to work.
I m wondering if thé eu version can climb easy i havé big doubt with a 250 w motor but it seems impossible to purchase us 🇺🇸 version of it un France
Well, if you get the EggRider the motor will output its maximum 1000W and offer good torque. This is fine for big hills. Without the EggRider the motor is limited and can be a bit sluggish up hills. Note that the EggRider will negatively impact battery/range.
@@BornToGetBusy OK THANKS for the infos i'll just have to wait the restock now
@@BornToGetBusy Someone said, about 3 months ago, in this comment section, that this was changed, and the Eggrider might not work on newer models. You cant confirm that, right? :/
Because i have the same issue, 12 km to go to work, and at least 3km of it is going up, not massive hills, but on a normal bike, i get to work already dead, and my job requires my legs functional xD
@@jhonnydasbr5367 Yeah, I'm afraid I dont know whether or not the EggRider will work on newer Rad models. But you can reach out to Big Game Bikes and they should be able to confirm.
I have about 14 km to work with some hills and the bikes makes it to work and back with no issue. Does need a charge at night though.
So does this make it so you can ride using only throttle?
Yes 😊
@@BornToGetBusy Thanks for the reply!
Hi!
I want to buy the RR+ EU version. The speed hack using the display will have the same effect of the eggridder?
I'm not familiar with the RR+ or the speed hack. But the EggRider is more about increasing torque than speed. I got a few more km/h but a big increase in torque from the EggRider.
where did you get the tyres from, i'm finding it really hard to find replacements
I got them off Amazon: www.amazon.de/-/en/CHAOYANG-Sandstorm-Bicycle-20x4-00-30tpi/dp/B07X8Q32J6. Note that they puncture very easily but after installing Tannus Amour I dont have any issues. I will upload a video soon about that upgrade.
I have the same bike and I put the new display and it marks 19.5 miles I don’t know why I will connect the original I will like to get that display . Can you help me with it .
Not sure what you mean?
Would you say the fact this bike has really big tires helps with stability in rain and different weather conditions overall or not? Trying to decide between the radrunner plus and a more regular electric bike to commute all year round
I didn’t think I would like the semi fat tires on my radrunner plus. I thought that if you let off the throttle or quit peddling that the tire wouldn’t coast as far and would be harder to peddle but I can’t tell if that happens.
Personally, I dont feel the fat tires do anything good for stability. It might be because the bike is so heavy but I have had the tires slipping in wet conditions or when riding on gravel when pressed hard around corners at full speed. But I mainly use the bike for regular commutes so its fine as long as you ride as per the conditions and dont push it too much :)
I see no disadvantages with the fat tires. When I run over a stone in the road I hardly feel it. The same size stone on my old trek which I routinely rode 10 miles a day sometimes 15 to 20 miles, would make the bike wobble. I don’t purposely ride my bike in the rain, because I can’t stand the idea of rust on my beautiful radrunner plus. I so believe the radrunner mini stepthru would be just as good and it folds. If you get I get caught in the rain, I put a light coat of oil on my frame, and especially on the shocks, chain, etc., which I wipe off the excess oil. The only disadvantage of the stepthru that I know of was the fear that it would not be as sturdy as a non step thru because of the triangle shape completed by the top bar. Upon receiving my radrunner via fedex and seeing the large frame and brace I have no doubt that the stepthru design of radrover products is every bit as strong as my old trek which I loved. The stepthru is much safer for older riders as myself and is especially so in an emergency stop in that you can get your feet on the ground quickly. Additionally, if your are 50 years or older, if you don’t need a stepthru, I believe the radrover frame will last a lifetime and at some point a stepthru will be safer for you. A wide tire always is expected to be more stable in automobiles and I expect it is the same on a bike.
@@martinmaddox5315 good points. As a daily commuter bike, I have often riden my Radrunner in rain and snow. Only parked it over night in the shed and did normal lubrication of moving parts once in a while. Almost 3 years later there is no rust to be seen except a bit on the kick stand. The bike is being sold as a "utility" bike so I wouldn't worry about riding it in most conditions. As for the tires, sure, you might not feel rocks as much with fat tires but stability on a bike not only depends on the width of the tire but more how you ride it and in what conditions. Again, ride how you are comfortable with for your age - the Radrunner is very heavy.
Can you log to an CSV file via the Eggrider app?. I don't have either.
Hmm... I haven't tried. I basically plugged it in and all was set and ready to go. I haven't even gone into the settings yet.
Where did you get those cool tyres ?
I got them off Amazon: www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07X8Q32J6
They are of poor quality and I had frequent flats so was looking to change but after I installed Tannus Amour, I haven't had a flat. I will upload a video of the installation of Tannus soon.
Er det den lille basket, du har på bagagebærret ?.
Ja, det er den lille.
@@BornToGetBusy Tak... Så har jeg selv fået en Radrunner2 , og en Eggrider.. Hvordan er dine settings? jeg kører max 25kmt og max 15 Amp, og så Current Mode.. 10/10 20/20 30/30 osv i Power/Speed settings.. PAS 4=20 Km/t PAS 5 er 25Km/t..( Bruger ikke OFFRoad mode'n)..vh Allan Berg, Vejle
@@allanberg Tillykke med din nye cykel. Håber du bliver glad for den! Jeg skal lige checke indstillingerne men jeg har ikke ændret noget siden jeg satte den til. Den kommer dog op på over 25km/t i PAS 5.
Hello what is your Eggrider settings for the max Amps please?
Hmm... I'm not really sure. Can't seem to find any setting on max amps.
hello, What is the maximum speed you can get with this the eggrider on a radrunner?
Well, for the EU version of the Radrunner, the Eggrider dosn't give a whole lot more speed. I guess it went from the stock 25km/h to about 28/29km/h. The main improvement is in constant max torque especially up hills and the throttle working constantly. This alone makes the bike feel much more capable than without the Eggrider even though the maximum speed is not that much higher. Note that it's probably illegal to have the Radrunner go much faster depending on your country as its not classified as a moped/speed pedelec and could also cause insurance issues in case of an accident.
what’s the range kill using it though
Hmm... depends a lot on how you ride it. I always ride at max assist. Also did before the Eggrider. I guess I lost about 25-30% of range. But I don't mind as the ride is much more enjoyable.
Hallo sir
Can the Eu version of the RadRunner 2 with eggrider go uphill?
I live in a hilly area with 13%- 16% hills and roads
You'd be better off with the RadRunner Plus as that one has gears
@@Skelanth721 ok thank you sir
Does anyone know if this bike is road legal in the UK please?
In its stock version, it was when UK was part of EU. Don't think that has changed.
Unfortunately, Rad Power Bikes doesn't sell their bikes anymore in Europe (except refurbished).
But why is my driving to 28 kmh and than comes down to 25kmh. Even when the max speed is set to 25!?
@@sinitrip621 hmm... I really don't know. Perhaps a setting issue, tire size maybe. There's a Facebook group for the Eggriderb with a lot of setting discussions. Maybe you can ask there.
How much does it cost tho?🤯
Do these UK/EU models come with a throttle?
Yes, they do. The throttle is just limited to 6kmh to comply with the EU/UK laws. With the eggrider v2 here, you can unlock it to work all the way to full speed. :)
Does this also work on the RadRunner Plus?
I'm not 100% sure as it comes with a different display. Better check with BigGameBikes which sells the EggRider with the Radrunner connector.
Is the Eggrider phone app necessary?
@@AlexStorm-m5q No. Just shows info + settings
@@BornToGetBusy Thank you very much. My EggRider arrived a moment ago. I can try the app out later when I feel inclined.
So this unlocks the speed, only by changing the display?
Well, the speed is only slightly increased. It mainly changes the torque and unlocks max power throughout the speed range. It also lets you use the throttle for full speed and not just to 5 km/h.
What are your eggrider settings?
I actually never went into my settings nor have I changed anything. It was all set up out of the box from the shop: biggamebikes.com/product/eggrider-v2-bluetooth-ebike-display/
Not sure if that's optimal but it's worked for me.
Hi John, hope you are well, how does the eggrider effect the range on the radrunner? Thanks!
Well... I would say it takes about 25-30% off the range. I have about 14 km to work and I need to charge every night after going to work and back with about 20% left on the battery, which is not enough to get me to work. Not that I always ride with max pedal assist (level 5).
@@BornToGetBusy Thanks for the info man, really helpful!
@@morgie8 just a quick update. It's been freezing here recently and I've been experiencing range of only around 20-25km. Note that this is with max pedal assist (PAS 5) and a battery which is 2 years old. It seems to offer more range when it gets warmer :)
How long did it take to come
Well, it's been years since I installed it. But it came quite quickly. A week or so.
Is it only for rad runners
Nope, you can get it for a range of bikes and motors.
@@BornToGetBusy oh ok thank you
Where do you buy one for a rad expand five
Not 100% sure but it looks like the display is the same as on the Radrunner. Perhaps the controller as well. Reach out to Big Game Bikes or another seller of the Eggrider and verify that it would work.
One question we’re can you get this?
Well, I got mine from Big Game Bikes but think you can get it from other places.
@@BornToGetBusy ok thanks
and do you know any shop that has this in store still?
I'm sure Big Game Bikes still has it: biggamebikes.com/product/eggrider-v2-bluetooth-ebike-display
Have you ever been stopped by police since you've had the Eggrider? Because now you're no longer EU conform. I've been seriously thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure if the authorities are wise to it.
Nope, never been stopped at all. It's not obvious that I have the Eggrider. I never ride just with throttle which would be a give away and not legal. There are two modes so if you ever were to be stopped you could just switch modes.
What tires are those
Sandstorm tires: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07X8Q32J6. They suck big time and got a flat several times until I installed Tannus tire armour. Haven't had a flat since.
how can I get it for my bike ?
Well, depending on what bike you have you can order online...
Sadly I only can find the EggRider V2 and on a german shop there it says it is not compatible with RadBikes. Has anybody a source for the V1 in Europe?
Also big games bikes has a warning on their page: "The Eggrider maximum voltage is 60v. If you have a 52v battery then fully charged your battery will produce roughly 58v. If your bike voltage surges beyond 60v it will damage your EggRider and your warranty is void. Bikes with regenerative braking and using 52v batteries could surge beyond 60v!"
Seems this device isn't all that great as it is presented in this video.
Well, I'm using the EggRider V2 on my Rad and so are many others. I don't know about voltage surging but my Radrunner dosn't have regenerative braking. If you worry about these things and the T&C, then just don't buy it.
@@BornToGetBusy Ah sorry, I've overlooked the "regenerative breaking" part. So there is no danger for a normal RadRunner.
And according to other sites the EggRider is compatible with the RadRunner, but not with the RadRhino and a few others.
Guess I'll consider buying the V2 then. 👍
You can unlocky 32 km/h with the original display/controller. The eggrider seems awfully expensive considering how small even the display is.
I doubt you can but please share instructions for how to do that on a EU version Radrunner 1.
@@BornToGetBusy7 months later and the guy still hasnt posted his answer. Safe to assume its bs lol
How much American$
Google seems to suggest around $109.95
DO THE FOLLOW UP
the controller for my bike
This is not a controller. It slots into the diplay plug and connects to the existing controller. Google Eggrider for more info.
I say the eggrider sucks they have a quality issue now that bluetooth just keeps disconnecting..
30 km is 18.6 MI an hour
So doesn't make the right getting faster
You should have just bought six eggs 🥚 you would be a lot happier 🧐🤨🤓
What if your electric bike does not have a display can I still use it and hook it up?
@@massterrbarber yeah as long as you can connect to the controller. Just make sure the two are compatible. My Radrunner didn't have a LCD display. Just a basic switch for speed settings etc. as shown in the video.
Thanks for the reply and just wanted to let you know I don't have a LCD screen and it was not part of the bike so I never had or have a screen so does that mean I'm compatible for the egg runner ?
@@massterrbarber well, I'm not sure. Depends which bike and controller you have. Is it a Rad bike?
👌 I understand now thank you.
Is this compatible with the Radwagon 4?
Yeah, it should be. If you want to have plug & play assurance you can order from biggamebikes.com/product/eggrider-v2-bluetooth-ebike-display/ like I did.
does it work with the radrunner2 ?
I'm certain that it does as long as it has the same connector. Perhaps check with Big Game Bikes which sell the EggRider.
