Radrover Crankset Upgrade - 53 Tooth

I also went with a 11t - 34t freewheel in the rear, helped out a lot.

Beast mode hahahah

I just found that the magnet ring on my rover was broken. So I'm trying to get a new one from Rad. An I just asked them what puller they would recommend. An here you are with the answer. Thanks. My rover is still stock here. But I thought. Could I change my sprocket to a 53? I'm going to consider it. Thanks again. 😊

yea the 42's leave you free wheeling even in 7th.

Something I need to try myself

Mine is a 750W Dual Motor and makes the steepest of uphills fun (35% gradient no problems)

Great demo buddy 👍

Pretty sweet idea man!

Thanks so much for this video...Did I miss the link to the puller tool? I am hoping to do this on the 2020 RR step through

I put a 28 t To 11t sprocket on the rear of my Radrover and have peddled up to 32mph. I am 71 years old.

Will this fit on a hemiway cruiser?

Awesome! Great to see this! I am wanting to do the same to my Magicycle

Looks really kool bro, 👍. Quick question, your mirrors show the sky🤔 do they need adjusting or are they just for show 👍

Looking forward to seeing the next obvious upgrade for that bike: Wings. XD

Hi will this increase the battery life, considering your peddling effort has gone up?

This was a tremendously helpful video. I just got my 750 Mid-drive Bufang E-Mtb Bike from Accolmile. I noticed that at the 22-25 mph range I could hardly keep up with the pedals. I was looking for a way to increase the resistance at these speeds to make it more enjoyable to ride at higher speeds. Your video explained all that. I wish you would have gotten more into "indexing the derailleur" to adjust the gears, now that you have a larger chainring upfront. I have no idea how to do that, I am a novice at adjusting gears. Did you have to do many adjustments? Is it possible I could change to a larger tooth chainring and not have to do any adjustment on the gearshifting? My bike also has a cutoff when I'm switching gears, it shuts off the power for a second or two while I'm shifting. I wonder if that's going to be affected by doing this?

FINALLY!!! Someone doing what I've been feeling I needed for a LONG time. LOVE my eBike.. hate that at pedal assist 3,4,5 the pedals are useless. I'd like to still get SOME workout value (at age 60) even though eBike's really my only choice now for hills, etc. But the 48T chainring that comes stock on my Docrooup DS-2 is just not enough. I just ordered (from the same company as yours there) a 58T. The 56 is the most popular but it's on back order until July 31 (2022) - wanted something sooner. Your tutorial on how to use the crank puller was perfect! Thx!! What size wrenches again? And what size allen?

How much does your bike weigh? tryn to keep the weight down yet hit 30mph for commute on flat ground so would i need 2 hubs + batt/extras or will one mid drive with a big front chain ring work?

I want to put a 52 tooth crank set on the lectric 2.0 with an 11 tooth freewheel on the back

I have a question. How did you get your bike to go so slow? I know everyone seems to want their ebike to go faster but at 70, I do not. My radcity goes 22 km/h even while ghost peddling on flat ground and while I have become used to it I would still like it slower when I want to just putter along. Although I can program a slower speed down to 14 km/h, all settings from 14 to 19, default to 20. Rad was no help, didn't even understand what I was asking. I have figured out how to deal with it using the throttle but it would be nice if the bike did what I asked. Ultimately I would like to keep the top speed at 32 km/h but lower the amount of assist at each of the 5 levels. presently it's set to 20,40,60,80,100 but I would like 10,20,60,80,100. I rarely ever use 3, 4, 5 as my area is completely flat and any inclines are easily handled at pas 2. Anyone have any thoughts? Eggrider can almost do it as I understand it but I may have it wrong and that would work exactly as I have asked.

Will it not hurt your motor because you're adding extra power by pedalling?

Can you please 🙏 tell me what size chain ring I need for my swagtron Eb7 bike. I purchased a 53T/ 130mm bcm chain ring and the bolt holes don't line up. I am having the worst time finding out what chain ring I need for a greater size chain ring on my bike so that I don't ghost peddle anymore.

Hey sir I would just like to say thank you I bought a new crank for my G-Force t42 bike cuz evidently in shipping they bent the one on it when I received the bike I put the same crank you put on yours and also thank you for the advice on the mirrors they work great and there was absolutely no failure on my e-bike nothing rubbed or nothing hit anything

Hey there sir, i own an Aniiki a7 pro,8 speed, same rear hub bafang set with the internal sensors inside the bottom bracket, i did upgrade from stock 46t to 47t with the same litepro square hole crankset, however, still pedalling like crazy, i thought about a 53t set up, will be doing this upgrade if yu are satisfied 😎

my stock speed is at like 20mph.
With this upgrade If I can make my bike go faster, will it damage the rear motor ?

Hub motors are limited to the current they receive. As much as I ride it's going to be a fight against engine resistance. For a mid drive this upgrade would be great

I want a 75 tooth like I had on my tour easy it was nothing to ride 35 mph to 40

i changed out my front sprocket on an 86’ 450cc nighthawk so i could do wheelies in first gear. Honestly i still had to jump on the back pegs and hit the powerband. That honda had 50k miles and it was 30 years old so no wonder it had significant power loss. My RR6+ didnt even ship yet and Im already looking for speed haha. I wanna be able to use those downhills to my advantage and only being able to pedal roughly 28mph (from what stock users have shown) aint gonna cut it. Thanks for the video and links.

Your seat is to low! Raise it up 1 full inch and you will absolutely get more leg drive resulting in more top speed!

Dude replace rear freewheel with 11-34t and 56t chainring on my kepler and I pedal to 40+ mph on flat. My stock 52t wasn't good enough but 56t was the goddess I could fit. I got a narrow wide chainring now I have enough pedal.

How much did you have to grind off on the right pedal arm? Do you have a pic of it after grinding?

correct gearing make a bike run better

Hey citizen, max again. I replaced my 52tooth chainring on my AR kepler with a 56tooth narrowwide chainring and I had it h/l limits were good but chain will not stay on, I tried indexing it but now won't stay on at all once hit a bump or anything comes off. CAN I TIGHTEN derailer enough so won't fall off , it's a Shimano atlus derailur? If not I need a deraileur with a STRONG SPRING to keep on chainring. Thx I tried everything. Can't get to work put old 52tooth on and still skipping and can't put pressure on pedals or comes off. Thx again max

Chainring says it's for 1/8 chain...still fits?

All you had to do is switch out the gear not the whole crank.... And is cheaper and easier...
You can actually have two gears on the chainring, one up front and one where gear is sitting...
The bike makers need to rework the software to include the size of the chainring!!!

Which crankset from amazon will fit a Hiboy p6? Hofw can you know which one to purchase?

I like your experimental spirit!
I am just starting my journey into e-bikes. I would guess that the bike came with the 42 because the motors will need your help to climb up hills but are fine rolling down hills.

To understand the effect of rear sprockets vs. different size front chainrings google chain inches or gear inches (it is how far the bike will move with 1 revolution of the pedals). More practically, at the same pedal rpm: big front-small back (last-gear) is fast for down-hill, small front-big back (first-gear) is slow for up-hill.
Because 35mph is Tour du France-like speed, your top speed is likely limited by the hub motors (not a racing bike - not a professional cyclist). So, a mid-drive might make a difference because of the leverage (42 vs. 53) in the gears. What do you think?
Cheers,

Wish you could do that with the Himiway Zebra!

Awesome video it's exactly one of the one to know. About a wide way e-bike off Amazon and I'm hooked sold my crotch rocket and like 1100 CC v65 cruiser. 🎉 Haven't drove my car in 3 months I live 15 miles out of town. Good video

I have a velowave ranger, love the bike but bent the sprocket and maybe left crank arm. Straightened it back but want something that looks better anyway. Do you know of any aftermarket that will fit without any issue?

Look into getting . A longer bottom crankset shaft to pushing cranks away from frame

Your seat is way too low, not giving your legs room to stroke more

Doesn’t that require a bigger chain too?

Why would you upgrade such a shitty bike that much? I have a rad rover 2018 as well. No full suspension. Not a mid drive. It’s clumsy and heavy. I do like the mirrors. I keep busting up mine. Will probably bust my left side again soon lol

hi there. im thinking if doing this to my engwe engine x. it has the entry level seven speed tourney gears and in 7th its way too short. it would be a cheaper fix than changing the cassette and shifters. what do you think?

Nice.....

I'm no bike expert either, but if compare your rear derailleur from the old to the new, you've changed its position quite a bit. It would appear that you are putting more coiled tension on the spring. I would add more chain lengths to bring the derailleur to the original position. You might damage it otherwise.

Wow...I was worried about having to get a longer chain....or add links. Looks like you didn't have to. Thx for info....

what puller tool is that?

You should use the box end of the wrench whenever possible. Prevent any possible slippage. Good video. Sitting on the shop floor in front of my chainring right now! I have a 52 on my Fucare Scorpio and have already changed my freewheel to an 11-28 and still feel like I'm peddling too fast at speed. Thanks for this video. Easy swap.

Noooooo never tap it you'll mess up the bearings..just tighten it that's it..I'm about to do the same upgrade but silly Amazon sent me the wrong chainring
