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.

And what did you order? They're definitely overwhelmed, it might take some time for them to resolve your issue given previous complaints.
I ordered the Hurley Amped.

I'd imagine the same. I gave a couple calls throughout the day and sent an email, without any response. Got in touch with the person who's order I received however! I'm curious if they got my bike or someone elses.

Ah, so you actually received a better bike, and wait, the invoice was actually addressed to another individual and they just slapped the wrong shipping label on?

I placed an order on the 29th, immediate label created the next day and said it would be shipped the 31st(I knew that wasnt going to happen) But its now the 7th and it still says pending label created. Some have said it took about a week to get update on shipping, I figure it was a holiday so im still in that week period. Is anyone else in the same boat? Should I be concerned? How have others handled it? not sure if its a customer service thing at this point.....

Yep! And it's a better bike except, I'm too short to ride it. So in that case it's a worse bike Frown

You may be waiting a bit, but if it doesn't get resolved, it will likely sell quick locally.

Pretty much the same with me. I'm guessing they're just backed up from the holidays and getting a lot of orders from the promotion. They haven't replied back to my emails unfortunately.

I wasn't worried, until today, when a post stated they ordered on the 28th and just received it, oh well, time will tell. Please keep me updated if they do get back to you, TIA

That looks great on the bike. I just got my Big Swell so I'm looking for accessories etc. What is that bag/sling(?) in front of the seat? Or is that a bike lock? Have you purchased any other accessories? I'm wondering where I can get a water bottle holder to fit.

I noticed my charger gets very hot when charging the battery. Is this normal? It's almost too hot to hold onto for more than a couple seconds. Also does your headlight make an audible humming/buzzing noise when turned on? It's not extremely loud but it's noticeable when not moving/dead silent.

I changed the speed limiter setting to 0 - unrestricted on my big swell and I did not gain any speed. I also enabled cruise but I haven't figured out how to "set" the cruise yet.
Did you have to enter a PIN on your big Swell? I can't get into to POS menu on mine.

Under the top tube is a foldylock forever bike lock. My charger also gets hot but so does all my other ebike chargers. As far as the headlights on my big and mini swells I can't recall hearing any humming noises when it's on. I ordered a hestya rechargeable horn along with a mazatto pouch water bottle holder that hooks to the handle bar from Amazon.

My big swell came with the digitech manual for the controller settings. Did yours not come with one?
