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.

Diablo link takes you to a Tailslide. Looks like the same bike (spec wise) but now $240 more expensive after 40% off.

Probably sold out. The Hurley bikes are more expensive than the avalanche brand, both are sold by joyride bikes.

Based on description the Diablo frame is steel not aluminum like the Tailslide, but could be a mistake since they look exactly the same. The former is OOS now anyway.
Yeah, probably a mistake. I doubt the Diablo is steel framed.

These appear to be the same bike branded differently.

Why is it so hard to find reviews on these bikes? I Googled "Hurley Betty" and couldn't find any reviews.

Keep checking later, I sent them an email (only way to contact them) to cancel my Diablo order. I have not heard back yet though.

Not powerful enough for my liking and I was just trying to confirm checkout price on whether it included tax for me for the data point. Then instead of any final review screen as I am used to from Paypal purchases, it completed the order. No cancel options on the site and I cannot find a phone number.

Update:
Monday night got tracking number and a preparing to ship notice from them via email but no reply to my request to cancel.

Update:
Tuesday looked up and found their number with Google. Called in and got it canceled. Still had not rec'd any email responses, BTW.
I added their number to the wiki.

Hello. They Both seem like great scooters. and Hang 5 seems to have a slightly stronger motor which is great for those ascending hills and slopes and its about $100+ less than the Juice which made it more enticing to purchase. but i decided to get the Juice for a few reasons which i listed below. For me...those extra features are worth the extra cost, the Hang5 is still a great scooter and good buy. definitely more bang for the buck if some those extra features on juice don't matter to you. Take care. hope this helps Smilie

1st Range, Juice specs shows about 21 mile range, and Hang5 is 15 miles. (although many variables have to be accounted for on range which will vary on rider and environment... rider weight, speed, hills/inclines, etc...)
2nd Speed, Juice is rated at 18mph, Hang5 is limited at 15mph despite its slightly stronger motor.
3rd Comfort, Juice has suspension and a wider board to allow for an extra comfy ride. Hang5 has no suspension but im sure it still nice to ride.
4th Lights. Juice has cool under glow leds (Blue), definitely an attention grabber. i dont think the hang5 has underglow but i could be wrong. They both have bright headlamp and rear red led tail light.

ps. i have owned the Hurley Juice for a few weeks now, and love it, its so much fun to ride. but one con about it, its HEAVY in comparison to 2 other e-scooters we own (gotrax and Hover). its a beast. found the manual to the Juice, it says it weighs about 40+ lbs but it feels like 50. also. the range in the booklet says 31 miles with a rider that weighs 75kg (165 lbs)...

I just emailed them and they canceled promptly. I didn't even give them an order number I just described my order and from my email the were able to cancel it.

how tall are you? do you think it's ok for a 5' 6.5" person to ride the size medium diablo?
I'm 5'6" and it's comfortable for me. With the seat at the lowest setting I'm able to place my feet on the ground.
