AquaWater09901 have you confirmed that this works to get you to 28MPH? Also recognize you have the Big Swell I believe. Have been trying this on the Big Sur, as others have said, perhaps with other models as well they haven't been able to change it.

Perhaps you even have a different LCD Display? I can see on the back of mine it says it is Model AK47.

I have tried searching for hacks on Model AK47 but haven't come up with anything, but see this is in fact the display as quantities can be bought from Alibaba etc, showing this display.

I did notice I can get to some type of undocumented menu on mine with PO levels and settings by holding down the up and down at the same time while the display is on.

Edit:

Ah, I figured out how to remove the limit!!

These PO settings look to be standard.
So get to the PO settings by holding the Up/Down at the same time after the LCD is on.
Click on the power button to go through the PO's.
PO8 is the limit! This is in kmh, this was set to 32, bump this up with the up arrow to 41. That is the max I could change it to. This works out to 25.5 mph.
After this change I can get to 25mph going down a hill.
On a straight road I can cruise at about 22 with full throttle. Pedaling fast like crazy I can get it up 24.

So this is a bit of an increase. Perhaps with a bigger front sprocket I could peddle a bit normally and get to 25.

Perhaps it is a limit of the 350W motor or the battery to get me with throttle to 23 or so, but I don't think the controller itself will let me go above 41kph with motor assist.

Possibly changing wheel size, PO6, would allow assist at faster speed?

FYI, I see some people have commented about their having 5 instead of 3 levels. This can be set in the PO5 setting.

Here are the PO settings for an entirely different controller, but they look pretty close from what I see. https://elecbikeparts.com/pages/s...ser-manual

There could be some other cool settings to see what they are and work with them.

for example: P12 PAS Start Strength
0-5, Higher = more assistance
Amount of assistance given when you start pedaling.

I am thinking this must be low. It seems to give very little help right away. Perhaps a safety feature set at factory? But I want help right away!

Or PO9 might affect how quickly it helps?
P09 Throttle Response
0 for instant throttle, 1 for delayed throttle
Sets whether pressing throttle and motor beginning to spin is instant, or whether there is a delay between the actions.

Edit: P09 was already set at 0 and can't be changed
P12 was set at 3 and can't go higher, but it can go lower.

FYI, read on this site https://power-bicycle.com/ebike-power/ that hub motors are pretty much limited to 25.

"Once the ebike is travelling at 25 MPH, the controller-wheel speed is maxed out. You can't go far over 25 MPH on most hub motors unless the motor & controller pair are designed for higher speeds."

This guy also talks about a smoothing circuit the mfgs implement for greater distance. Something about a loop back wire that can be removed to increase initial assistance but at
a sacrifice in distance.

Is this random china stuff?

Not a lot of reviews. I got a warning going to this site (possibly fraudulent?).

Why don't they sell any ebikes on their non-corporate site?

Is anyone else concerned this is a knockoff? Joyridebikes.com is the original site (since 2001) selling Hurley and joyridebike.com (since 2015) is painted with 'weird' all over it.

How does Medium and Large sizing work for bikes? I cannot find wheel size anywhere other than M/L
Large and media by frame size? Large frame size 21in, media frame size 18in?

https://bike.bikegremlin.com/318/...rame-size/

No wheel width information.
wheel diameter can be calculated from bike length - wheel base, couple samples
Carve(L) 70(bike length) - 42(wheel base) = 28 in (wheel size including tire)
Diablo(M) 72(bike length) - 44(wheel base) = 28 in (wheel size including tire)

And yes! It comes standard limited to 20 mph, but by holding the up arrow button for three seconds then holding the power button for another three seconds it removes the limiter, and I have been able to get a constant top speed of 28 mph.
this doesn't seem to work on my teton; did they disable this feature? Just received mine few days ago.

Didn't work on the Big Sur either. Are you sure you weren't seeing 28km/h instead of mph?

I don't know how they can sell the 350W 10Ah bikes for $360.
I can't even find conversion kits with these specs for under $600.

I have been looking to add e-assist to some of my other bikes.

the post quoted can be found on page 2 claiming 20mph to 28mph; the bike tops out at 20mph or 32kmph on mine

I just got a ebikeling motor kit for a bike. It's the same cost as one of these whole bikes and batteries. If we can get someone to
Check if a freewheel will fit and the drop out size, may be able to move to another bike.

Yes, I was looking at the ebikeling as well. That is what I was thinking, maybe just take off and move to another bike. For the recumbents though, I have smaller wheels, so would actually need to take the motor hub and restring into the smaller wheel. So a lot of work, lol.

Probably better off with a tsdz2 or bafang mid drive for one of those. Hard to say.

Do you mind taking a picture of the battery? It does seem nice, but I guess my priority is to make sure I can find a replacement battery before purchasing. The teton seems to use a pretty standard battery I see on other ebikes, but has rim brakes, wouldn't mind spending the extra $200 for disc brakes + aesthetics for the Diablo.

Great, thank you. Looking up "Reention ebike battery" pops up some that look very similar.
I can't see all the sides, does it look like this?

I bought the big swell yesterday. I already have the mini swell and I am very happy with it.

The mini swell can fit an adult + child. It does not have a mount for passenger pegs. I am still trying to figure out what to do for rear pegs.

I got my Teton yesterday and built it in about 30 minutes. The building instructions left a lot to be desired but it's not rocket science so it wasn't hard to figure out.

I took it out this morning for a short 7 mile ride and when I got home the battery was still showing all bars. The body was nice and stiff and didn't feel cheap at all. I am glad I went with the Teton because the shocks really helped with some of the potholes/bumps in the road where I am. The motor was not super loud but still noticeable. I mainly kept it at level 1 so that I could get a little workout. The speed at 1 was around 14mph. Bumping to level 2 or even 3 makes you hit the top speed really quickly. Once you are at about 18 or above, the pedaling doesn't really do anything. I wish the gearing would have been a little higher so you could pedal at full speed and help the motor some but you cant. The path I went on had a lot of hills so I did get to test that. I would bump it to 2 or 3 for some of the larger hills and that was great. I did help the motor with pedaling the entire time so I am not sure if it could carry me up on EV power alone but that said, pedaling was much easier than on a normal bike. Overall for the money, this was a fantastic buy. The real test will to see how long it lasts. I hope I can at least get a few years out of it if not many more.
