How to change speed mode?
Problem Statement:
• Many riders notice that their e-bike seems “limited” (for example, only reaching about 15–20 MPH) and wonder how to switch from the European working mode to the American mode or how to remove the speed limit.
• There is confusion about why the bike won’t go faster on public roads, and whether it’s possible to unlock higher speeds.
Solution and Explanation:
Factory Settings & Road Legality
• Our e-bikes are programmed at the factory to comply with local road laws and safety regulations.
• For European markets, the bike is set to a maximum of 15 MPH. In the United States, to meet legal requirements, the bike defaults to speeds that align with Class 1/2 、3(15 MPH or 20 MPH) regulations for public roads.
• These settings ensure that the e-bike meets the legal standards necessary for street-legal operation, protecting you and other road users.
U.S. Regulations and Speed Classes
• United States regulations categorize e-bikes into various classes based on their maximum speed and how the motor assists:
– Class 1/2and Class 3 e-bikes typically have a maximum assisted speed of 15-20 MPH.
– Some configurations can offer a higher top speed (up to about 28 MPH, or even 31 MPH maximum) in off-road mode.
• Our factory settings reflect these classifications: standard street-ready modes (15–20 MPH) are provided to ensure you ride within legal limits on public roads.
Switching Working Modes & Speed Limit Options
• If you’re looking to change the mode or “unlock” higher speeds (to reach 28+ MPH for off-road riding), instructions can be found through our detailed video guides. These videos demonstrate how to switch from the European version to the American version:
Riding Safely and Legally
• Even if the speed isn’t “lifted” for public road use, the e-bike is designed to operate safely and efficiently within the legal limits.
• Always verify that any modifications or mode changes align with your local laws. The higher speed mode (28+ MPH) is best reserved for off-road use to ensure you remain compliant when riding on public roads.
This solution ensures you understand the balance between enjoying your e-bike’s performance and staying within legal limits on the road.
