Did the speed hack... put it all back together and when I pushed the throttle... nothing!!!! I was sooo mad! I thought this was a trick to brick all our Z1s... But this is crucial for everyone... there is a wrong way to plug in the motor to control cable near the back wheel! Make sure you align the arrows when you plug it back! The hack worked perfectly and now the power doesn’t cut off when I go over 20mph! Down hill and power would cut... this was my biggest frustration until this hack! Thanks for the video! Love my Z so much more now!

Man great hack bro. Did it this morning (early) and it was literally just following every step you did. Top speed is now roughly 25 mph. Gotta question tho: inside the controller I noticed another pin-plug that’s not connected to anything. What is this plug used for or can be used for? I got nervous 😬 when I couldn’t find where it connected ...then saw you had same wire tucked back in on top of controller. Feel safe now. //Bklyn👑

Ive done this but with a switch. From my experience it’s necessary because when you snip the wire it has a lag before the power kicks in. It works best it you use the regular mode to accelerate then hit the switch once it get close to 20mph. It works as a hi and low gear.
