Needing new controller - rad runner 1 (2019/2020)

Hi there, I have a radrunner 1 with an egg rider, otherwise stock.

My controller is messing up …bike motor continues to provide power without turning the pedals and no throttle (even when throttle cable undone)

I plugged the bike into my partners controller aka just unplugged at the controller and the motor behaves fine. I also checked the display and it’s fine, so I assume it’s the controller

Area 13 seems to be out of stock for the older radrunner controllers…

Anybody ordered from surge bikes ? While a 35amph controller would be nice, I like the eggrider display so if I can find the same 25 amps controller as the original/oem would be fine as well, I don’t really need more power

Best Chantal

Boy poops in the rasberry bushes

Well I had been super worried as he hasn’t visited the Litter robot in a few days but seemed perfectly happy. Then I saw him digging under the rasberry patch (which is inside the catio)..and sure enough found some poop. This is a new development….

The patch has lovely sandy/loam soil so I see why he likes it….and yes I am of course scooping it up.

I am not sure how to discourage it, as I doubt he will be deterred by adding mulch but I plan to try that.

Short of that , I was considering just turning the part he seems to like to dig in into a sand pit and just scoop it and make sure I have the sprinkler on it so it gets a deep watering aka cleanse every other day.

Anyone else use a “natural” litter box and can comment if this is a dumb idea ….a traditional box is not going to work as the catio is not covered and gets wet….so no option to use traditional litter of any kind

And this is why we can’t go on vacation

No words needed but we haven’t been away for more than one night since they came home. I am sure they be fine, but I can’t be without our morning/evening snuggles .

Neither cat will come and snuggle on the couch or climb on a lap.but they both show up for naps when I am in bed. While my girl, is always curled up in my chest , my boy will only sleep in my arm…it’s funny how different their personalities are. When they were little my boy would definitely crawl into my lap and sleep all stretched out on my legs, but now a little over a year old not so much. Our girl wasn’t a snuggler at all as a kitten, barely tolerated being touched, she’d come snuggle with her bro who happened to be near me but if I moved at all she would immediately run away…now she is miss super snuggle

How do I get them to drop their prey

Our boy and girl have access to a catio and well we live in nature and it comes with mice and chipmunks, which are apparently not too bright and so our cats do catch them. They don’t eat them and they rarely kill them. But they do love bringing them inside, loose them and then have me catch them.

On occasion, I get lucky and I can trap the cat + prey outside but I can’t figure out how to get them to drop the mouse? For a dog, you can usually stick your finger between their molars and they release whatever they are biting in but this does nothing to the cats ?

I read somewhere about closing off their nose so that they have to open their moth but that’s just cruel and I won’t do it. But I just spend 15 minutes holding and scolding my boy (which does absolutely nothing) till he finally dropped the poor mouse who was perfectly fine and ran away

Do cats dream

Both of our subs have the leg twitches while they sleep, but my boy especially he often chirps and even makes the same little growls he makes when he brings me a mouse (not my favourite..but very hilarious when his solid asleep)

I didn’t know that cat dream but I’m 100% sure my boy dreams of the hunt _ cat tax included

Ps they are indoor cats with large catios., and well since the catio includes some of the backyard , sometimes a mouse wanders in…even though they are discouraged

Took a lesson - advice needed on fliteboard purchase goals

Howdy, we took a lesson on a fliteboard 2025 (basically the icon)…loved it and managed to fly a wee bit standing but not going to lie standing up was hard. Once standing it was fine, but the mobility to get up well I felt me age (mid 50’s and just off a knee replacement on my leading leg)

We want to buy a board and well, everyone seems to immediately jump to the pro ….i think long term faster turns and fun carving is the goal, but is the performance difference really worth the fact that it is likely harder to learn.

Our dealer noted that when flying the wings make much more of a difference then the board size..an yes there is more in out needed to carve the bigger board, he noted that switching to more reactive wings has a more drastic impact.

So his advice was , if you want to enjoy the learning curve buy the icon …and then upgrade the wing parts once you want to add more spice. I guess we could also upgrade the board down the road. I was debating if we boy the pro , we could continue to take a few more lessons on the icon..or we buy the icon which I am pretty certain we can grow in without lessons and if it comes to it upgrade the just the board in a year or two …after we have outgrown the wing progression the dealer pointed out.

We are new to foiling - but the physics make since ..aka that the wings would have a bigger impact then the size of the board once up in the board ….but would love to hear from the community if this is correct and if the proposed fun progression of icon with cruiser wing to upgrade the wing and finally if we ever get there upgrade the board itself to a pro makes sense.

A bit about us….1 rider 180 pounds 5f11, other rider 155 pounds 5f7….. both mid 50’s and athletic. we do live next to a few lakes with easy access and this will be our hot summer day fun instead of paddleboarding 🤣….but our main sports still going to be mountain biking and dirt biking ..and we won’t ride in the winter at all as we live in a ski resort and generally snowboard 100 days a season.

Thanks in advance for the advice /input

Is the Waydoo Evo propulsion system legal for Canada

For transport canada for an efoil to be legal it needs to have a jet propulsion and a magnetic kill switch or something like the fliteboard automatic kill when remote hits the water is acceptable

Transport Canada regulations prohibit surfboard-type vessels that are driven by open or ducted propellers due to safety concerns. Using a propeller-driven eFoil can result in fines of over $300.However, eFoils equipped with fully enclosed jet propulsion systems (or impellers) are completely legal to operate in Canadian waters. Models like the Fliteboard with the Flite Jet system

Waydoo lite vs Waydoo pro plus board ? Or just jump staring to fliteboard pro

Hi , we are planning to take a lesson shortly and pretty sure we will be an efoil soon.

Our lesson will be on a fliteboard but I am also considering the Waydoo boards as they are definitely a better price point especially as we learn- I expect we will buy one board to share this year and may be a second high performance board next year. But I still would like to have this years purchase be fun for a few years.

I was comparing the Waydoo evo lite vs pro - since for the light you can upgrade the motor and the battery , it seems the only true difference is the board itself which is significantly heavier I assume due to all the extra sensors and technology… do these all actually aid in performance or are they simply gimmicks that you don’t use much once you get a few days in the foil ?

We are both athletic ( albeit in our 50’s ) under 80kg ( 140 pounds and 170 pounds) , snowboard about 100 days a season and have been getting more into water sports … I have done some surfing and windsurfing and we also have a winch we put around with .

We both really would live to get into carving and fun riding - I don’t expect us to just out around to explore or go high speed… at our home lake there is a few boats around but not too many …but would love to learn how to foil Surf a board too … but that’s probably down the road ;)

Basically looking for a board that’s not true beginner but still is not too advanced that learning will be impossible and that will still be fun even after you progressed past the beginner stage . I am wondering if the Waydoo lite with the performance upgrades could be that board

Longtime I would assume if we figure out the carving fun times the second board would likely be a fliteboard pro or an L3 but definitely would demo before getting in that deep ( I don’t know which boards they will use for the lesson next week- it’s a fliteboard school)

Anyone successfully use one of those prey secure cat doors ?

I assume this is not just a problem for us, but we have two catios, both have cat doors for the cats to come back in…problem is that both catios seem to be part of some mouse highway and well the cats catch them and bring them into the house alive. I can deal with a Lise here and there, but we had now 3 nightly /crack of dawn human mouse hunts (assisted by two eager cats) in a row and the other day the idols cornered a chipmunk in their catio….i really don’t think I could manage if they bring that in next.

I read about those anti prey cat doors…do they actually work…I mean the other day my idiot cat had a mouse in her mouth and I could only tell because a bit of tail was sticking out…. Made her drop it and yep mouse was totally fine and ran off …sigh

Surveying her mousy Queendom

Build myself a small bench out of old planters - since walking cats in the backyard is a lot like herding cats … especially if one of them really like the “feeling of the hunt”

She immediately claimed the spot as her new hunting perch so she can keep an eye on the local furry critter population .

Also of note - at least our cats seem to have no issues with lavender …

Solo steel fire Defect in top plate - risk of buckling ?

I just received my solo steel fire 22 - it’s a gorgeous appliance - alas when unpacking I discovered a minor irregularity in the cook top. It’s basically a small bump in the cook surface, which is of course annoying in a surface that is supposed to be flat …. It is close enough to the edge and also small enough that it’s unlikely to interfere with with cooking

Will this put my cooktop at risk of buckling further upon heating or during cleaning ( quick temp changes)

Should I get a replacement or am I being too fussy ? I haven’t contacted the vendor yet

Stay toxic - it’s not that I don’t want to eat I just don’t want that

I am just here to vent - everyone worries about obese cats but mine are such picky eaters that getting them to eat any wet food is a struggle ….. add to that that my boy has such a sensitive stomach that changing food always results in diarrhea … sigh

They eat their kibble but even there they don’t over do it … they eat about half a cup of kitten kibble each… and if I am lucky I can get them to eat 2 ounces of wet food each between the morning and the evening combined … needless to say we are currently trowing so much food away. Try to have them share one 3 ounce can in the morning and in the evening now instead of giving them a shared 6 ounce can …

But hey you bring out food in a tube and it’s a party…. Dried shrimp , yes please.

Just discovered Go Booster, which makes a 2.5 ounce topper pouch that we apparently like… not sure if they only like it because it’s also in a pouch 🙈🤣, I got another 24 cans of the royal canin kitten they ate without an issue for 8-10 month… once the weather warmed up they just went into food strike … I shall the royal canin big cans to our local shelter I guess

Little buggers - they have tons of energy , lots of zoomies trough the house , backyard hunting and general mayhem so yeah they are just not big eaters apparently- I am gonna be honest I would have a lot less anxiety if I had to put them on a diet … I am constantly stressed that they aren’t eating enough .. they just turned 1 in June

Recommendation for griddle stand/table for solo steel fire 22

Hi there, been lost in the endless world of aftermarket grill accessories

Could someone recommend a BBQ table/stand for the solo steel fire 22 inch. With its 22.4 inch depths I would like a 23-24 inch deep table top but can’t seem to find any that exceed 20 inch.

Also would be nice if it was 40-50 inches wide so I could also add my ooni pizza oven to the same table (which also needs a 22 inch minimum depth) ..so it be nice to have them side by side

Thanks

Could someone with a solo steel fire 22 clarify how they connected the 20 pound tank ?

I just bought the steel fire 22 griddle connection, however solo still doesn’t sell a conversion kit and just states “ use a compatible conversion kit” and in the manual it goes even further and states “ solo approved “ but it doesn’t specify what the connection on the actual griddle is or flow requirements are.

Additionally, when looking at the manual it’s a bit confusing - if using a conversion are you to still use the solo supplied gas regulator and tread the adapter into the steel fire 1 pound regulator …or do you attach it straight to the back of the griddle and don’t use the solo provided line at all

Steel fire griddle 22 - 20 lb adapter

Could someone please recommend a 1pund to 20 pound conversion kit that works for the solo steel fire 22 griddle . I just ordered mine yesterday and solo doesn’t sell a conversion and want to attach it to a 20 pound. The solo product page is not helpful at all by stating “ compatible with appropriate conversion kit” but not actually detailing exactly what the connection and possible restrictions are …and in their manual it states “ use solo approved connector otherwise warranty void….but they don’t actually list any approved conversion option.

NexGard Combo - how often do you apply

Our cats get the nextgard combo. They have a catio , which yep has mice passing through and they have caught some but never eat’en one. I also walk them in the backyard, but they are never exposed to other pets.

They are fully vaccinated and they gotten the NexGard Combo last month. I checked with my vet and they said that the time between application depends on lifestyle and how much they are outside and it could be safely given 1 a month or spaced out to up to 3month.

I wanted to check for those of you using this product to protect your harness lion , do you always go with 1 month or longer periods between application

Thanks

Anybody else’s cat go trough periods where they just don’t have an appetite

Our two kittens are about a year old now - they are happy active and loving life.

But they go trough these periods usually every few days they will have a day where they won’t eat their wet food. They will eat kibble but that’s it … and then a day or two later they will finish their wet food again and will do so for a few days when it goes back to a day or two of nope. Needless to say they definitely would eat a treat tube and their beloved shrimp.

When they were younger they definitely ate more reliably- this is more of a development over the last month or two

They haven’t lost any weight - I keep an eye on that - but my understanding is that wet food is better for them so I don’t want them to live just on kibble

What do you do with the wet food they don’t eat in the morning ? Put it back in the fridge ? Trow it away ?

Thanks ( cat tax - these two living their best life)
