never seen an ebike with a magnet, but cool idea. My ebike doesnt have that setup. However I did lookup what color wire on my bike is the limiter.

Hey this worked like a charm. Thanks for the video. My Giant explore stock would do 32km/hr and then cut out/in. After your mod I can get to ~44km/hr. I personally find that 36km/hr is a comfortable riding speed for backroads in Alberta mountains. Hardest part was running to the hardware store to get a tamper proof torx.

Interesting concept. And see all those comments and other alternatives ... when are the makers of e-bikes just going to acknowledge that limiting at 25 is ridiculous when so many people can pedal a normal bike faster than that and fit people are riding them - especially the e-mountain bikes. When it hits 25 on the flat it feels like pedaling with a handbrake on - ridiculous! .

It's imposed by them by law. In many countries it's not legal to motor assist a bicycle beyond the 25 km/t. Obviously this is a software limitation which can be worked around like this, or with a chip. I don't have a mountain bike but I imagine you would only turn on the assist when you are climbing up hill and need help in order to not get so exhausted - after all, it's going down-hill that's fun.

They have to for import purposes. Today 99/100 of then you can just go into the setting and change the max speed ezpz. Some also have a hard limiter between the batt and controller you can unplug to keep an eye out for. Though for 25 bucks you can just upgrade to a computer that can show all settings which I did for a friend. Actually, we got him a new controller (22a to 28a) and a computer bundled for 50 bucks and his ebike goes 38mph from 20ish mph.

You can also change Prefrance of the size of tires. Only if you have smaller than 28inch or 700c. Setting that wheel size on 26 inch ( goes up 1.5 to 2 mph more throttle only)and smaller will increase speed unless you have a locked controller than you have to listen to this video and others...

Hello Daniel, Wrote to you a little while ago. Now that the summer is practically over here in Europe I wanted to start the hack process on my GIANT ebike, but surprise, the firm GIANT are not stupid, to take off the sensor the surprise was a nippled torx screw, in other words I needed a hollow torx screwdriver which I didn't have to take the sensor off.

I have a 'Giant GrandTour E+ 1 2018' with a Yamaha motor (60 Nm, 250 W). I tried this method. After putting the magnet on the pedal I got two outcomes, 1) the motor works only a little bit, basically it is not working. 2) After changing the position of the magnet several times at last the motor works as before the delimiting, namely the Ebike moves maximal 25 Kmh. In both case the speed display display from 4 to 99 kmh. Anyone has any advice? Thanks in advance! My guss is: there is a maximal working limit for this Yamaha motor and the motor working limit cannot be surpassed even we change the position of the magnet.

Hi, Will this hack works with Bosch Active line 2014 (1st gen?). I don't think any restriction or software limitation applied to these early models.

Sometimes the motor is locked down on the speed so no matter what you did on the menu like making the tire smaller it does not change the real speed.

Do you always need to pedal for this to work or can you be on full motor mode and it’ll still work?

@firestorm996

4 жыл бұрын

That's the issue I see with it. Surely if you're coasting (no pedal rotation) the motor will think you're stopped, and get somewhat confused when you suddenly ask it for assistance again? Most motors now are designed with some ramp-in rather than sudden power so it seems to me this would result in an odd feel to the assistance?

If you want your speed and distance travelled, your smartphone will do that for you.

I rader buy a kit were you can turn on and off max speed and the speed is correct, speed box is a great way to set up your bike without any modifications, just plug it in and you simply turn it on and off with the controller on your bike, off max 25kmh and on 99kmh.

My problem is the speedometer doesn't work and thinks I'm doing 25Km with a single pedal. When I'm almost stopped the speedometer shows bike is riding at 15 Km/h. It is a real pain in the back when I'm cycling uphill no power at all. A normal classic bike probably runs faster than mine. I appreciate you sharing this tip. Although it wont work for me. My bike has not a visible magnet attach to the wheels nor a visible sensor. I think all is hidden somewhere inside of the tubes or wherever the manufacturer hid it, probably to avoid we do this as according UK and EU laws a bike can't go faster than 25Km/h hence the use of speed limiter. I do not have a clue on how to rewire the speedometer. But thanks anyway very much appreciated.

That being said I've had no problems with the mod, and the frame is still intact despite the small hole haha. Once I lost the magnet which was funny. Parked up next to a metal bike rack and the magnet jumped onto the bike rack, but I noticed when I left and the ebike wouldn't engage. Went back and found the magnet. That was about all that's gone wrong since I made this video.

A smaller tire wheel will not rotate faster nor slower than a bigger wheel at a given driven speed( your crank , pedal rotational speed remains the same) It will just not travel further than a bigger wheel . A small wheel covers less distance per revolution so its slower than a bigger wheel covering more distance per its 1 rotation.

They run on 12vdc, the power down in the motor hub is 36vdc, jaycar sell a dc to dc converter $8 for arduino ( a very handy board) and it will power the speedo converter... (up to 36vdc) wire it up, fit it in the area of the motor , set your percentage to 50% and the controller now thinks 50kmph is actually 25kmph...Shhh dont tell anyone I told you!... Total price $38. To fit use a bit of common sense, I bought a plastic holder. $3 for the dc to dc converter. Skill level - easy Add a small fuse too in case anything goes wrong! ;-) Ps dont forget to tx Oring!
