I am an electrician and this worked for me. Top speed of 50mph and that was it, till I found a down slope & hit 73mph. Little did I realize, my bicycle brakes can't stop a 73mph Bike. I just got out of the hospital after 4 months, I'll never walk again and need to be spoon fed. *THIS WORKS JUST LIKE ITS POSTED*

[@highervoltage5430]

73mph! Seriously? Dude... That had to be one Hell of a hill! Best I could ever do was 51mph on a downhill. What caused the crash? Total brake failure or just not enough braking power?

[@matthewsdicksons5110]

Tbh all this is unneccessary. You can just move the sensor next to where you pedal is with electric tape and put magnet into pedal. This will trick entire computer because it will think as example you go 7 miles hour while in reality you go 26 and therefore will bybass and unlock the original speed limit.

[@a88888888a]

[@geu6270]

@@matthewsdicksons5110Sorry, this is not correct as Bosch performance line motors (which this one in this video is you can tell by the purion display) will throw a 504 code and your bike will go into limp mode home and it will be some time before it returns to normal. If it does it 3 times your motor is toast until you take it to a dealer and have it reset. If this happens again fucking gestapo bosch will brick your motor. It can be done easily with some motors. Not, Shitmano's but Giant ebike motors (made by Yamaha) it can but it will occasionally throw a code and you have to turn off and back on. Some of those motors will eventually just ignore the code for you but your display will not longer show the right assist levels but it will still work. The other motors you always have to turn off and back on and continue. Get the general idea at least ????

[@Scott-NCC1701]

Will the Dilithium Chamber be able to handle the increased amount of Anti-matter? Did you modify the articulation frame and compensate for the dynamic impedance? Finally, is there any increase or danger from the Possible theta Radiation from your drone parts? Other than that, this is a very simple modification. I would anticipate 15 minutes of work.

Another option would be a ttl clock divider. Or a Pic and simple bit of code so it times the pulses and gives you correct speed up to the cut off then keeps it at just below the cut off. Then at least the speedometer works some of the time.

You could just move the sensor from the wheel to the pedal, use a small magnet, and ot changes the rotation. Works

Sometimes it works. Other times it will mess up the system. I was thinking in doing it to my Trek XM700+ but someone say : Don't do it

[@RonBesse]

I haven't got my ebike from UPS yet, but if you're not using the controller's speedometer anyway, can't you just go into the program and tell it you are using smaller wheels? Had to do the opposite when putting a lift with much larger tires on my Jeep Unlimited. Just reprogrammed the cpu and all better than stock.

[@jmcbike]

Or, just use a 4017 integrated circuit and divide the true speed by 2. Install inline with the existing sensor so you can use the power from the bike for the circuit. Install a bypass switch so you can switch from stock to divide by two. The speedometer would read exactly half, so multiply by 2 to get true speed.

[@deandre1988]

Any tutorials for this, simpler solution? sources?, A quick google yielded nothing for: "IC 4017 electric bike speed unlock"

[@jmcbike]

@@deandre1988 No tutorials exist for using the 4017 in an ebike. However, tutorials exist for using the 4017 to divide the original frequency down. A lot of the examples feature a 555 as a frequency generator (would be the hall pickup or reed switch on the ebike) and dividing that frequency down to light LEDs at a slower rate (or trigger the ebike controller slower). Note that all the speed modifications do is raise the top speed slightly- because most motors are sized to top out rpm wise only slightly higher than the legal limit. The only real way to go faster than that is to increase battery voltage, which may require a new higher voltage rated motor controller.

[@aintgotnoaim9115]

[@RJSoftware2000]

Couple, few questions. Is this solution limitted to mid dr ive, how do we modify cadence sensor? Just put this in place of magnets? How is action of controlling bike, with continuing pulses telling motor to keep accelerating faster and faster, how does this effect normal riding? Should we power the pulse generator from signal of cadence and/or brake cut off switches? Is it possible to burn up motor windings and/or controller?

can i do that with my cannondale super six neo 1 e-bike?

[@Waltkat]

Thanks for this but I'd really like a schematic to look at so that I can make the board using perfboard instead of having to go through the trouble of making a regular PC board. Also, what is the pulse rate of the 555 timer set for? I'm guessing that it should be the same as what was being displayed on your bike computer? Looks like you left out the transistors in your parts list. What diameter should the washers be when winding the coil? OK, never mind. I think I figured it out. 555 is running in astable mode at around 14 hz? 330 ohm and 51K ohm resistors plus 1 uf cap setup the 50% duty cycle of the 555 at 14 hz. Driving two transistors connected in parallel to handle the coils current load. 7809 voltage regulator to power the 555 and coil. 33 uf cap for stabilizing the output of the 7809. The diode is across the electromagnet to protect the transistors against back EMF. Might want to include a resistor between the output of the 555 and the transistor to protect the output of the 555. Around 470 ohm should do it. Think I'll try this on my e-bike. Not that I really need to go faster than 20 mph with motor assist. Might be fun to play around with though. As far as knowing your actual speed, I guess installing a separate bike cyclometer could take care of that.

[@highervoltage5430]

The timer can run at just about any speed below 4hz. Mine is running around 2Hz. The transistor is run in saturation mode so the voltage drop across it is low delivering maximum power to the coil. The number of turns in the coil is up to you. I suggest as many winds as you can get on there.
