Need something from the store? Want to get a kid somewhere easily? Just need a cruise?
This here is a comfortable, powerful, and fast bike that's easy to get on, easy to ride and can carry a more than enough.
What's going to be going on this frame:
- 72v Dual Batteries (21ah)
- Phaserunner + Cycle Analyst
- (Eventually) Grin All Axle 45mm Fat motor
- ERider torque sensing bottom bracket
- Motorcycle Dash Camera (records front and back, screen as a rear-view)
- Upgraded, quieter tires + tannus armor and some kind of slime
- Magura MT5e brakes + 203 rotors
- A passenger backrest
- GPS+LTE Tracker
- Key switch + Throttle
As you can guess, this was a full tear down and rebuild (all the parts will be repurposed back onto another frame for a more "stock" bike experience that I'll likely hand off to a family member).
While there are still a few things left to do (front basket + grin 45mm all-axle), this is working great for now.
(Sadly, this is actually my second RR+ as the last one got stolen. Loved the form factor so much, though, I had to grab a new one.)

Stock -- Before the upgrades
This is how I bought it the previous owner had already added the bench seat from OC Cafe Racer.

Build
Gory details of wire mess!

![In this mess is a relay, powered off the PR 12v PAS line that allows battery current to flow to a 12v DCDC. That DCDC then goes on to power all the lights, dash camera, etc. Since the PR only turns on with a B+ to K+ connection, this means the whole bike is turned on by a single key turn.](/pub/media/project_gallery/projects/4887026b/radrunnerplus-super-carrier/section_2/build_5.jpg)
