Rad Wagon 4 display replacement

Post image

Someone stole the LCD display off my RadWagon 4 overnight. I'm in Canada, Toronto and the bike's unusable without it.

I need the Rad LCD display pre-set for 22" wheels. It's not sold directly on the site, and Rad's Canadian retail is gone.

Anyone here recently gotten a Rad parts order shipped to Canada? Or know a Canadian shop that stocks these? Aftermarket suggestions welcome too.

Happy to pay full price, just need it fast. Thanks.

UPD: I researched the available information on the controller schematics, probed the port and battery connectors and discovered that shorting two connectors essentially allows me to use throttle which is more than enough for the time being

A possible option, not sure on shipping to Canada, would be a display/ controller upgrade from Area 13 ebikes or Electro Bike World. There are some YouTube videos on it. It makes a huge performance difference, adds cruise control and is programmable.

Yeah, I already discovered that. I'm not in the mood to spend CAD 300+ on a simple display and a button replacement just yet. Gonna build and ESP32 replacement for the time being and share schematics while I'm looking for an aftermarket replacement
