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 do you like the diablo? Is it heavy? Would it be ok for a 5' 7" guy?
It's light in my opinion compared to the gen3 stride which I also got from another slickdeal. Definitely fine for your height I think. I hooked up a kids tandem bike on my seat post which makes my seat post higher, but at 5' 8" I can still touch the ground with my toes.

Hey, I'm still waiting on my Diablo, in the meantime, would you mind measuring the length of the battery as pictured below? Trying to find replacement batteries for the future and will post again when I do.

The measurement I got is top length of battery is at 17 inches and bottom length of battery is 14 1/2 inches. Width at 2 1/2 inches, height at 2 7/8 inches. Let us know what you find.

Mind double checking the height? All other measurements match besides that.

I checked again, it looks like that height to me. The brand of the battery is REENTION, it is 36v 10.4ah.

Alright, thanks, I'll message the potential seller to see what they say, maybe you could stick a larger capacity battery in, the only minor issue is that it'll be sticking out of the frame, instead of flush.

Tailslide: alloy

Diablo is Listed as alloy on Walmart, GovX, and 365cycles. Maybe someone who purchased this can chime in?

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.
Thanks for the thorough reply! Do you think either Big/Mini Swell would be ok for slower speeds of dog walking/ bikejoring?

I am looking to purchase the Amped ST but is it just me or the replacement battery will cost as much or more than the bike?

No. the slowest the big or mini swell will go is 9mph on throttle or pedal assist. To fast for a dog "walk" since most people walk 3-4mph.

Is it that uncomfortable to go slower speeds without the assist? I would like to be able to bike alongside my dog at 10+ mph, but also slow down and just use the pedals without assist for going under 5mph.

Quote from vfire94 :
max speed is 20 mph. how are you going to go 28 mph? I got the big sur as well, curious if we can unlock the limit.
I never rode an e-bike before. I know it says max speed is 20mph but doesn't that mean for the motor speed? I can do 30mph max speed pedaling with my road bike and even my mountain bike with hybrid tires. Is this e-bike motor running going to just stop me going any faster than 20mph? If the battery is dead, can I still pedal it over 20mph?
