Wel this worked better than i expected

Absolutely brilliant. I’ll just use this tip for a bit of fun now and again. So easy. Thank you!

ZIP TIES MY FRIEND...NOT DRILLING THE FRAME

Omg, just done this tool 5 mins and it’s flying 🤣🤣 nice one dude

It works,brilliant.

Great hack.... This guy is always thinking of quick, cheap, effective ways to make things work! (Looked a bit dodgy riding the bike with your phone and trying to video....)

thank you Daniel, it's work for my ebike...

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.

Thank you ! That was doing my head in

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. Enjoying the bike a lot more and no problems as of yet

This worked like a dream for me. I would now like to fit a 38 or 40 tooth chainwheel to my Giant Talon ebike to enable me to maintain a higher speed with lower pedal revolutions. To date I have not been able to locate one in Australia. If anyone can assist would be appreciated.

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...

Instead of drilling a hole you can zipped tie it or used double sided tape. Great video 👍🏽

Wow. Drilled thorough the frame!!!

Sorry just wondering if you needed to buy the extra magnet or if you could just use that one

Superb!

Very clever!

Will this work on Cyclotricity Revolver Hybrid 250w , as i just got one coming next week ,

Many times there is a limiter connected to the battery going to the controller. Another way is to see what type of language your controller /screen uses like KT for one eg and get a new computer for your controller. Which he kind of mentions.

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 managed to send out an order to Amazon for a set of 32 pcs to fix on a screw driver. The order will be arriving tomorrow so I'll keep you posted on the follow up, Cheers mate.

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! .

I thought I came up with a clever original hack to make my bike faster, now I come across this video... Again I'm not original 😂

What if you just move the magnet on the wheel away from the sensor? Would that not fool the sensor?

Omg... It worked very well can't still I can't believe. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the video! Got the same bike and worked a treat. Do you mind sharing the URL to the magnet you used? I've got a huge one taped on at the moment, and another which was too small to pick up.

IQ 1000! 😆 Thanks!

Hi David. What's your mid drive motor?

badass box from Germany 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ohhhh I'm going to remove some of the magnets from my PAS bike to see if it will work as well, being the PAS magnetics are on a small wheel hub on mine. If this idea works I will do a update, but I have HUGE doughts.

Cheers, Your in Christchurch :P

hi, enjoyed watching your video👍, no.1, id like to know, how does this hack effect your battery gauge?? im thinking, if your going faster, you will be using alot more power, which i assume, drains battery faster.

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.

Will this work on a lectric XP bike?

What if the ebike is only a 250w front hub motor (pedal asist) and doesn't have the magnet on the wheel you're explaining. Is that bike's motor just too weak to travel more 16mph?

Does this work on prophet ebikes

Hi Daniel. I just purchased the LIV Val E+2 ebike, it looks like it has the similar motor sensor to yours, how did you get it off? It looks like the manufacturer has tried to make it difficult to detach it with a screw ive never seen before. Dying to get this over 15mph its so lame at that speed!!

What happens if you just take the magnet off?

Would it work on a Carrera vengeance ebike?

Can't do this to the bosch xc motors, they have add software to stop it been done , found today 24th of April 2021

Will this work with bikes with the latest updates ?

I wonder if this can work on ebikes with motors in wheels?

What's type of screw head is on the sensor please

Does this also work with shimano?

Will the battery run out way faster

this made my bike go max 55kmh holy shit

Is this work on all types of electric bikes?

Will this work on BeeCool models?

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.

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

what happens if you remove the magnet, I guess you tried? 0mph ? no assist ? i would think a torque sensor based mid drive would still work unless they programmed no assist if the speedometer doesnt detect speed.

Does it work on bosch motor

What's done is done. Zip tie the next if it applies. We all learn from each other. Drilling can also weaken that area.

So I bought my uncle's 2021 Polygon Path E5 off him and it's max is 32km/h but was limited to 25km/h when it was sold in Australia. With a 504Wh battery that's some bullshit. After one ride to work today I'm looking to remove it, I sit at 35ish pedalling anyway, so this would be ideal. It has the Shimano Steps motor, my uncle said there's a limiter wire installed? Didn't see this sensor you speak of... Might have to open the motor. Edit Def no sensor like the video. So removed the battery pack and removed the left side motor cover and only see 2 wires that def look factory installed. Need to do some research 😟

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

My ebike can go 35kph but there's gotta be a way with out it damaging the frame to make it go faster with out drilling any holes any tips?

I have a specialized como bike how can I do this on this bike

Is there a trick to removing the limiter? I've tried a screwdriver and an allen key but nothing worked

How do you hack the jetson bolt pro that doesn't use app?

Does it work for Bosch gen3

Cool

Will this work on Bosch 4th gen motor 2021 cube reaction 500?

Slower wheel makes it go slower (not faster)

Do it work on syncrone drive sport

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.

This won’t work for mine. The motor is on the front wheel. There are no magnets on any of the wheels. I have a Bridgestone Tb1e

Has the frame broken yet where you drilled the screw into it ?

Do you still have the bike?

why not add more sensors on the back wheel ? ?

This worked on a Bafang M200 mid drive

That doesn't work on Bafang Max Drive 250w on a Fischer EM 1865 ebike. It works but when you stop pedalling you get the 21 Error.

What bike is this

Do someone have problem when all put back in original state? When I put it back on yamaha pw st, display is blinking (range, odo etc) and speed sensor doesnt pick up spee (0 km /h) motor is workimg, I ve tested through diagnostics , and in diagnostic program is showing no of turnings of the wheel Bike is haibike alltrail 6

Does IT work on evry e bike?

QUESTION: Wont the manufacturer know that I've messed around with the bike If I ever have a problem with the motor and I have to have it repaired?

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.

Any chance you’d know if this would work on a Bosch smart motor?

And why not add a magnet on your bikewheel itself.. if the rotation speed is what your after.

what s the exact size ur magnet that u bought have?

How old is your bike e-bikes have boxes now not magnetic to over coke this issue

Good value for the dollar

Thanks! But i want to know gow fast im going, or i would love to do that! I ride my son in a stroller to kindergarten, so i want to know how fast im going... But love the trick

If you added another magnet on the wheel as in having 2 magnets

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: the position of the magnet plays an important role and 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.

I'm confused as you say positive and negative when on magnets it is normally north and south from when I hear it

Having the camera down staring at the speedo while you're on the street gives me such anxiety lol, I want to pull my head up to look around

A smaller wheel will rotate faster, not slower.

What if you dont place the magnet

Ok jaycar has a speedo converter, it takes the magnetic pulse and puts out another pulse at 0 to 100% rate of the original depending on what you set that too. Theres a switch to set that.. 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! Aka me for taking the time to find a cheap and usefull alternative. I do like this idea too! Im pretty sure bosche engineers are nuts for thinking 25kmph limit was a good idea! Hell a woman on a girly pedal bike with a basket full of flowers on the front can go quicker! Seriously!

Is putting the Magnet and the Sensor closer to the Center of the wheel not affecting the speed, as it works on the Pedal?l

just tried that but in no time it goes into error (102 code on bosh readout): though it reads a lower speed alright... what could I be doing wrong ?

Link for the magnet

Don't do this with Shimano Steps unless you like walking home. You'll get an error and it will stop working. Pain in the arse to get it back working.

Hai.. i ready to install but.. error speed sensor...

Just tried this and I keep getting error 21, what am I doing wrong, thx

So what's your top speed after the hack? And what are your thoughts/experiences a year+ later?

This didn't work on my Shimano e steps 8000

Hi, l have it sorted but another thing came up after let's sai 2 minutes padaling it's just gets harder like elctric engine stops helping for a minute than comes back up, why is that?

Can this sexy looking method put my bosch active line into limp mode at all dude?

You drilled the FRAME!! Won't take long for that to crack!! Unreal.

How has the bike been since the hack? Any component went bad?
