i got this ebike last month. love it. since i'm in the usa, the LCD panel shows MPH. so they updated that. :) for me, the speed maxes out at 18.6MPH but i suspect that is exaggerated. i have another ebike and when my fam and i ride together and we match speed at 18.6mph, my other ebike shows closer to 16mph... and my odometer app on my phone shows around 16mph also. the lcd for the sailnovo seems to under report the distance miles travelled. so i had to tweak the wheel size and dial down the P03 speed corrector and now looks more accurate.. when comparing to odometer app and google maps. i also bought bmx handlebar parts today and will be installing them on this bike :)

Check the motor controller again, if it has a single wire loop with a connector in the middle (usually grey or white), that is what limits the speed to 25km/h.

Yeah, I checked and traced down what each wire does, but nothing I could find as far as the single wire limters. I tried comparing a ton of different other ESCs to it as well, but no real matches.

my son wrecked his sailnovo and now the steering is skewed. you can turn to the left completely but when turning to the right it stops about half way into a full turn and is stopped by what looks like black ring just above the fork. Don't know how this was affected by the crash but if I could just get it turned clockwise a bit I could fix the steering. If anyone has a fix for this let me know.

I just bought used sailnovo and love it. Been doing a lot of research but have 2 questions: 1. Does anyone have a digital user manual they can send me? I didn't get one. 2. The handle bars are not lined up with the frint wheel. Does anyone know how I can align them? By looking at it, it looks like I just losen the hex bolt on the bottom part of the steering column and that would allow me to move the wheel freely. Does that sound about right?

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzbin.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!

Battery is full, headlight is bright, horn works. The visible damage was the pedal speed sensor wheel with the magnets was loose. I pushed is back against the sensor, adjusted the sensor as that appeared to be bent out of position. Bike did not work, or and when pedaling there is no speed listed on the display. Since that only shows the pedal speed, the motor should turn on and turn the rear wheel, regardless of if the pedals are being moved. Right? Throttle looks like its working, wiring looks ok. So is odd not sure what the problem is. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
