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.

I bought the big swell yesterday. I already have the mini swell and I am very happy with it.
About to pull trigger on the Big Swell there is just so little info on it.

How much does it weigh? 1000w peak? Cargo options?

I'll let you know the weight when I get it. Cargo options are none. I am going to try and have my buddy weld up a detachable rack, modeled after the Zugo detachable rear rack.

This will be a first ebike for me, and I could use some advice on model to get.

6'1", 220... Looking for something mainly for exercise. Office is about 8 miles away so I'd like something I could ride in good weather. Florida, so roads are strait, really no hills. I'd like to think I want the ability to go on hills and trails, but honestly, it's a remote possibility I would.

Has there been any discussion on how to source a replacement battery for any of these bikes? I did a search and can find no replacement batteries for these bikes.

I'd say buyer beware in relation to any replacement parts. I read recently where a guy needed new brake pads for his Hurley ebike and couldn't find them.

Would there be any chance anyone could measure the rear fork spacing? (rear drop out) on the cruiser single speed bikes? I spent a good two hours looking, could not find anything. I cant see if they have holes for disc brakes either.

Pretty hard to measure. Sticking a tape measure through the pedals and trying to eye it up, it looks close to 5 1/2 inches. If you can tell me a better way to measure without taking the wheel off I can give it a try.

Same scenario except I'm 6ft 220 and the Carve has really worked out well as my 1st E-Bike after upgrading the cheaper parts such as handlebars, tires & seat etc.
