I hope some might benefit by having this number since their email communication has failed for me. I emailed them over the weekend and heard nothing back Monday. Monday night, I got a "preparing to ship" update, but it has not been given to the carrier yet. Hope I can get it canceled instead of having to ship it back at my expense or have to keep it to avoid losing money.

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.c
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.
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.

Didn't even get it to full charge, (charger still on red), went for a ride with my wife on the Big Sur which also wasn't fully charged. We went 22 miles, fairly leisurely riding. Never below 2 assist, with some pleasure to climb hills and overpasses.
Got home and we are both still on 2 bars of power.
It doesn't seem the 30 mile range is exaggerated at all. I am pretty sure we would exceed it at our rate.
Not trying to talk down the bikes at all. This is a great deal. The bikes with the 10ah batteries all look like they could be easily replaced with pretty standard battery packs which is a huge plus for me. Hope you enjoy the rides!
I ordered a Betty and Acadia.

After all of the exceptions, basically the frame is "useable life of bike" for the welds. Battery is 1 year and everything else is 6 months.
14 day return period if DOA
"Thank you for contacting Hurley Online Support!
Yes, they are real. We are collaborating with Joy Ride."
Ordered Hurley Big Swell 1000w bike on 8/21, received 8/29. I'm in southwest. Bike was packaged well, covered in tons of foam zip tied to keep it in place. Bike was mostly assembled, just needed handle bars and pedals put on (handle bar post was on backwards out of the box also). Charging to full from out of the box took about 3 hours. Tires already inflated.
According to the display I did 16 miles and used 25% of the battery bar on first ride. Speed was limited at 20mph / Pedal assist 5. Holding the top two buttons, "+" and "i" until the screen dimmed momentarily (About 2 seconds) removed the limit and allowed me to get up to 28mph. Turning off the bike or going back down to pedal assist 4 or lower put the limiter back on, and the process had to be repeated.
I had to retighten the handle bars once, but after that no issue. Pedaling while using pedal assist felt like I was basically doing nothing no matter what gear I was in. Had to turn it off to get anything resembling exercise.
Love the bike, happy with the purchase and packaging. Had a great time zipping around town. here. I can't comment on any hill stuff, it's totally flat here.
