At Radmoto, we're passionate about electrifying your ride, not just with our range of electric bikes and scooters, but also by customizing them to fit your unique style and needs. This winter, we embarked on an exciting project with Ross, a proud owner of an ONYX Motorbikes CTY2. Our mission was to upgrade his ride, making it not only an eye-catching summer commuter but also a model of efficiency and performance.
The Challenge:
Ross's ONYX CTY2 was already a great bike, but he wanted to take it to the next level for his summer commutes. He needed a machine that was efficient, reliable, and capable of turning heads. That's where we stepped in!
The Transformation:
Here’s a rundown of the modifications and upgrades we performed:
-
Battery Cover Fix: We started by securing the battery cover for enhanced safety and durability.
-
Front LED Lights Installation: Visibility is crucial. We equipped the bike with powerful LED lights for a brighter and safer ride.
-
Controller Tuning: Customized the controller for three modes – eco, normal, and regen – offering Ross the perfect balance between power and efficiency.
-
Front Fork Upgrade to EBR Performance Shocks: Replacing the front forks with EBR performance shocks significantly improved the bike's handling and response.
-
Michelin Pilots for the Front Tire: For superior traction and control, we upgraded the front tire to Michelin Pilots.
