- I will show you why you should buy the digital display upgrade for the RadExand 5 and how to install it.
This display gives you far more features than the original such as -
-Speed
-Odometer
-Trip Miles
-Average Speed
-Max Speed
-Wattage
You can find the Rad Digital Display right here -- bit.ly/3yOT6FN
You can find the Rad Expand 5 right here! -- alnk.to/7qfErhS
To Install it, you will only need a 3mm Allen wrench and this bike comes with one.
Or you can use a multi-tool. I like the Crank Brothers M17 - amzn.to/3Ezn9SE

the upgrade is the best thing. since you can go in tell lcd screen what you want. also mph km also let set the thing to read what tire your using too. its life saver for people want to know how fast they are going and how many miles you done or to see how far from your place it its.
Hi, Chris. Thanks for sharing. I liked, I subscribed. I can't imagine riding my Mini without a speedometer and watt meter. Takes away half the fun!
Hi 👋 Thanks for watching! I know right. I ordered this at the same time I ordered the bike. I knew I'd want speed and mileage.
@@PedalWithPower How could I forget to mention the odometer? How is one to brag to one's spouse and friends??? Oh, and if you have a sec, you might want to be the first real subscriber to my own brand new bike channel. 😁 Cheers.
I had a bit of a windfall so I decided to blow some of it on the LCD Display Upgrade for my RadExpand 5. I didn't like the orange LEDs on the stock display. They are too bright (to see the labels on the panel) and I always had to think twice about which row was battery reserve, and which was PAS level. And they remind me too much of dashboard trouble lights.
I wanted the odometer so that I could plan regular maintenance, or at least record when I last did some.
With the speedometer, I can now leave my phone on the geo-tracking app (and plugged into the USB power port) and not depend on it as a speedometer. Oh - it just occurred to me that my bike can now serve as an emergency phone charging station during extended power blackouts, which are mostly in the winter anyway.
The wattmeter is just a nice extra.
I regard zip-ties as "stress risers", so I cut them off and used some 20 mm diameter spiral cable wrap to organize all the cables in front of the handlebars and down.
I also bought a pair of RAD folding pedals (the same as on the RadMini) because we will be stuffing it and the RadMini into the back of our CRV. They are a bit smaller than the non-folding stock pedals, but are made of metal instead of plastic.
To make it neater, I would have run both wires below the straight bar instead of over it. Good description of the different functions. Thanks!
Good point Kay, I just wrapped it around so it wouldn't flop around. You could definitely just run them both down.
Perfect commuter bike!
I just bought a new rad expand bike. I fell the first time I drove it. Do you have a simple video of how this bike works. I am now intimidated a little bit. Your guidance would be very helpful, I have ridden bikes and motorcycles all my life but not together. So know I am not totally clear on how this works. Hello from Ladysmith BC
Thanks for the video. I just ordered my display upgrade..
That was much easier than I thought it was going to be.
Yep, pretty simple. Big upgrade, well worth it!
As of now, the upgrade Display for the RadExpand 5 is Out of Stock in both Canada and the US. I'm pretty sure that they are branded King displays. Is there an aftermarket display that will do? I can't find specs for the upgrade screen to be able to check with King suppliers. Not sure where to look now. Any advice?
Hi Chris, informative video, I got the upgrade, and it is great. Question I have is what is the max. wattage output you have seen on your display? Mine has a hard time getting to 500W and falls bat to about 470w fairly quickly.
i cannot change settings 4 how did you guys do it it is not shown at first i press up and down together after iam enabling settings it is shows set 4 25km/s but cant change it
Hey Chris, finally got my Expand yesterday, love it! The bike shop added my display and I think it was defaulted to 20 in tires. Do you recommend changing to 22? I also notice a lot of reviewers got the "other" brakes, I got the Tektro with the integrated bell, it looks like you got that also. Wonder if that was just a first run item substitute.
Anyway, thanks for all of the videos on the bike, it made my wait less excruciating. Excited to learn more tricks from you.
That's awesome! I'm excited for you. It's a great bike, good call on the display. Tire pressure depends more on your rider weight. I'm pretty big and have the Tannus liners installed, so I put them around 22. 20 works too.
Just know, all bike tires will lose air over time so 22 will be 20 in a couple weeks. Always good to check your tire pressure regularly. Lower pressure will give better traction and a more comfortable ride, but be a little slower because of the resistance.
Let me know if there is anything specific you'd like me to cover. I'm always open to ideas 👍
Thanks for the help!
No problem Greg! 👍
Well documented
Hi friend, I was able to see your channel, continue making those interesting fish videos that I like so much. I suscribe to support you, Good luck
Go Fish! 👍
You have a rad 5 why not that this player going up to 5 instead of 4 I had a displayer to go to peddle sis 5 now the upgrade only goes 4
Just bought a pair of X5's (see what I did there?) for my wife and me and we bought this display too so thanks for doing this video, it will help me out tomorrow when they arrive!
Thanks for the video! I was planning on getting the Rad Mini step-through for my wife, but it was discontinued the same week we tried to buy one. Looks like I'll have to get the Expand and upgrade it. I wonder if the front suspension fork from the Mini would fit this? I had a spare fork for my own regular Mini, but had to use it for repairs after a big crash.
Good question, this is the Rad mini replacement. Let me know if the fork works!
Are there colored displays that are compatible with the rad?
How do you reset the trip meter?
Man.... this shoulda came with the bike like it did with the radmini4
Great video you answer all my questions. I ordered with my bikes now just waiting for delivery. Do you recommend installing right out of the box or test ride the bike with the LED first?
Thanks 👍 You can just put the new display on right away.
@@PedalWithPower I agree. That way the odometer reading will start counting right from the get-go.
Do you need this to change speed from 20mph to 28?
You can only change from 32 to 40 kph. Makes it go up to around 25 mph.
@@PedalWithPower I brought one how do you change it to go around 25 mph?
@@CruzinWithCJ Hi Cory, first turn on your bike by holding menu, then press and hold the up and down arrows. The screen will change, press menu to go to the number 2 screen, then using the arrows set that screen to 40, then press and hold menu again until the screen changes back to normal. 👍
@@PedalWithPower You're awesome!! Got it to a little under 25mph while riding 🤙🏽
@@CruzinWithCJ That was quick 😁 Great job! Glad to help
Should I buy it?
This video was better before you had to edit it for unknown reasons. It's kind of nice to have info to make the best out of the Epand 5. Not sure why you edited out a lot of good useful info!
I had to remove the speed hacking parts to keep Rad as an affiliate
Can i use this in any EBike?
It's designed for Rad Power Bikes. I'm not sure if it's compatible with other brands.
Nice I put my phone holder there thinking about the eggrider Display
You can slide it over to one side and it might fit both. The Eggrider does look interesting though.
You did not mention the u s b socket
No, I forgot to mention it. I don't use it, so it slipped my mind. Oops 😬
Waste of money for me
I got one for my 250 bike and it’s made it go slower and drag
I’m taking it off for sure
My power goes to level 4. My old one went to 5
It's the same top power assist level, it's just that they divide it by 4 instead of 5.
Kinda' like Nigel Tufnel's custom Marshall guitar amplifier that "goes up to 11".
Oui Oui!
