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.

Why are these bikes not for short people? Ebikes are very popular in countries with a lot of shorties . . .

Hello, l'm looking for a ebike for my wife to try. Problem is, she's 5'3". Of all the bike's listed for urban cruising, they are recommended for riders 5'4" to like 6' 0". Just wondering if anyone else has bought one for a shorter person? Thanks
Check out the Laguna ST. I got it for my 5'4" wife a month ago and she absolutely loves it. The specs on the listing go down to 5'2". https://corporate.joyridebike.com.../laguna-st

Anyone purchase the Mini Swell and spend some time with it yet and do you regret not getting the Big Swell? Is the Big Swell just a larger motor?

Anyone know if Thuster is the same price with teton?

Looks like Thuster is $480 not sure if teton is cheaper and I should wait.

the Teton is the same bike as Hurley Thruster. If you want the Hurley logo, go with Thruster but you would be paying more for the same bike.
What was the price for Teton? I'd like know the difference.

Teton was $400, but someone earlier contacted CS and they said it won't be restocked.

Anyone know if the Tailslide and Diablo have a display/screen? Don't see one on the handlebars in the photos, so thinking it is on the frame?
I got the diablo and it does have a display screen.

how do you like the diablo? Is it heavy? Would it be ok for a 5' 7" guy?

I have both the big swell and mini swell and I am very happy with both. The big swell not only has the bigger motor/faster, it also has upgraded components. Hydraulic brakes, 8 speed cassette, shamano tourney derailleur, 15ah battery, brighter headlight. The frame is the same size, the seat is 1in shorter and the handle bars are 1 inch taller.

If you are looking for a scrambler style ebike, the big swell for $1380 is hard to beat. If you can afford the extra cash get the big swell especially if they don't collect sales tax at checkout.

I have been looking at options for someone my size 5'5" and narrowed down between Thruster and Swell (not the big or mini). Not much comments or videos on the swell but tons of info on the big swell and mini. Anyone have one or have feedback? I did find it for less on Jenson USA $839 on joyride , $792 on Jenson. Saw there is also a 15% off promo if you enter email but not sure if it stacks or is excluded.

No Teton was $669.99 and Thruster was $799.99 so I got the Teton. (Before 40% off)

My situation is that I have two very bad hips at only 33, will need surgeries eventually, am 5'8 now…
How much pedaling does the assist need on the big swell? Does it take some physical effort?

I miss being outside. Thanks
