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.

Thank you! Did you try changing the wheel diameter or top speed to get it to go above 28mph?

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
I think what happens is that when you place the order, it "creates" the shipping label, but the bike isn't sitting on the loading dock waiting to be picked up yet.

I think it takes them a bit to get to actually pulling it and shipping it.

Apparently most are happy with the bikes when they come. I would just be patient. It will move.

Mine is finally out for delivery today. 8/25 - Label created - 9/8 - Out for delivery. Going to charge the battery first to test it and make sure it charges before trying to assemble it.

Edit - Another delay by FedEx, man, the shipping hub closest to me always has these issues, wished they didn't use FedEx.

Mine ordered on 8/28. It said expected delivery date was 9/7 but now it just says pending. Only shipping label was created so far and no item received by FedEx is shown 🤷🏻 ♂️

I ordered a Big Sur on 8/25 - label created 8/29. It was just updated today past the label created stage, received by Fedex 9/7 and delivery on 9/13.

I ordered an Amped ST on 8/26 - label created 8/29, received by Fedex on 9/6 and expected delivery Friday 9/9. (This one was to a closer to CA address.)

I ordered a couple of Betty's on 8/28 with updated shipping yesterday, received by Fedex 9/6 and expected delivery Monday 9/11.

So they are getting these out. It just may not be on a first in first out basis, or perhaps it is dependent on the bike model.

I should add, since they seem to be a bit messed up and many models are out of stock, there could be cause for concern that once they get around to your order they may find they no longer have that bike. I was concerned about that on the Big Sur, since the day after I ordered it, it went OOS, but they apparently came through.

Ordered big swell 8/28, shipped notice 9/2, delivered 9/7. First step was to remove the unit from the packaging sufficient to connect the charging cable. Once the battery was fully charged Bike was assembled (caution pedals 1each RHT,LHT) and ready to be ridden. For all intents and purposes this bike ships fully assembled.

Is anyone else having trouble unlocking the speed limit on their Big Swell?

When I hold the "+" and "-" together, all it takes me to is a screen with 00000 on it. The only thing I can do is change the number of the 0s, but its unclear to me what those #s even relate back to.

There is no Code or any other information provded. Just Five 0s that I can change the digit of.

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!
