A head scratcher.

[Capt. Jack]

Thanks to everyone for having me. We love our Rad-Mini's we take them in our Sprinter van and on our boat.

2018 Rad-Mini one is wife, one mine. Mine will not start up. After the shop gave it back (they could not fix it) They (we) replaced the wiring harness, controller, battery, I just check the battery leads at the controller 52 V. but still nothing. I removed the controller from my bike installed it on wives bike, fired up. I removed head unit and starter/shifter switch from my bike and installed on wifes bike, fired right up. I hooked up my wife's bike to my rear Bafang motor, motor ran fine. I check clearance on my pedal sensor, no change. I lubed my hand breaks, no change. What am I missing? All the components check fine, but still no start, no light up on the head unit.Am I missing something? Nothing, nada, zilch...

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks very much, I should have some good photos to post, rather than just ask for advice. (if I can find them)

Quite possibly something inside the motor itself?

What did the shop do or look at?

The shop installed a new wiring harness, new controller and battery mount. They said it ran and they rode it. I got it, nothing. I charged it up, no start. after 15 min. it went to 40 v. I got new battery, still nothing. I hooked my motor up to my wives bike, motor ran great. I connected every wire from her good bike to mine, my bike no run. I removed my display and starter switch, and hooked to hers, lit up. I checked ever part by removing parts from my bike and installing it on hers. All my components check out fine...Kinda bizarre huh?

That is very odd.

Hopefully someone else has some ideas

Thanks a bunch for listening. "Enough money or time, you can fix anything" This is how we load our bikes onboard, the fit in an animal trough perfect.

If a bike shop did all this & it did not work when I got home, or even if it quit a week after they worked on it. I would be going back to that bike shop. Demanding them to fix it.

I have, they are out of ideas, demands don’t work, ideas do
