The tire pressure is a biggie, if my tires on my ebike have reduced pressure 50 psi, my bike does 21 mph if it's 65 it does 25 mph

​@@sebastiangeorger5791 Ancheer AM001908 folding 20" Mountain Bike specifies 40-65psi for both tires at STP. I would expect similar specs for similar size tires, although I've seen 14"x2.25" "mountain bike" tires spec'd at 45psi maximum. I usually inflate a 3-5 psi below the maximum specified to allow for both meter accuracy and temperature variations that could increase the actual tire pressure from what the meter reads.

Who asked tho

I'd be interested in an episode dedicated to controllers and how to mod them and how to find other controllers to exchange them for, in order to make your bike go faster. Another aspect that I'd be interested in is how different settings will affect battery life. My own ebike isn't adjustable at all. It either helps you by adding 350W until you get to 25km/h, or it's off entirely. Not a recipe for efficient battery use when you basically have to break in order to cruise at a lower speed.

Thanks for the "MORE SPEED!!!" tips and beat wishes on moving to Boston.

Excellent tips. Love the channel. I have a RAD Power Wagon currently. But I am building a new higher performance bike from scratch and your vids have been invaluable. Keep it up.

hello! I need help to re-enable the [assist] in my bigstone c300s display. do you know what setting I need to change in the setup? it have 3 menus in the [+][-] configuration. I guess in the menu2 with P options, in the menu 3 with C options or maybe in menu 1? my bike come with no manual and just the PAS is not woking any more. no more [assist] in the main screen.

Excellent info! How can we determine if controller is capable of handling higher voltage battery?

Thanks for all the great videos! One question for everyone... When I road bike I usually ave around 15mph on a 25mi ride, I would like to add power to get my average up to 25+ mph to help with safety and traffic. I want to keep the exercise level so what size battery and motor should I use?? Thanks again.

Cool. I think most of these tips having to do with drag and resistance also potentially help with range as well, if they are used with range in mind. (key word, "mind" :-) ) Range anxiety competes with need for speed, and all the variables that go into the calculations for each rider make for splendid mental exercise, eh? Respect.

(04:15) There's a 3rd EASY modification that doesn't involve opening anything up. *It does NOT work on all controllers* A number of ebike motor controllers can be soft-"hacked" (hacked is not really the right word, but people use it, so....) in addition to the tire size and hardware controller internal wire enable/disable methods discussed in the video... There are videos about it but basically it follows these steps: You press down the left and/or right brake WHILE pressing the ebike's power ON button and hold them all for 5 seconds or until "E-02" (or possibly similar) appears in the display. Some bikes can be "hacked" this way using either brake handle, while other bikes require both simultaneously...it depends on whether the brake switches are electrically or logically OR'd inside the controller. Some bikes even require the LEFT brake only while others may require the RIGHT brake only...so try all the combinations before ruling out your ebike can't be changed using this method. IF a given method works, you will likely see an "error" code showing in the display the first time it is successful ("E-02"). Obviously, you won't see this error code on ebikes that just have an "idiot" LED controller like the KD26E displayhead used on the AM001908/AM001907 20" folding ebike models (not an LCD alpha-numeric display), and it likely won't work on these "dumb" display head configured ebikes. If it works, you should only have to do it the one time or until your controller is reset by some means. Also, on some bikes it MAY "toggle" ON or OFF the high speed enable so if you...as I do...hold down at least one brake lever as you get on the ebike and power it up...the setting MAY "toggle". You'll have to check if it does "toggle" on your ebike and may change how you start your bike if needed. I haven't seen this ON/OFF speed hack "toggle" happen on the 2 ebikes on which I've seen it performed, but there may be others that work differently. Unfortunately, my ebike did not support this soft "hack".

I'll probably have a 20ah triangle battery in the frame and also a 20ah battery on a rear rack.

Great tips, I never even though about a windshield. I've also been wondering lately how much the bike gearing affects acceleration and top speed for pedal assist. My front hub build tops out around 35mph mostly because the bike gearing doesn't allow my legs to keep up cadence.
