Q2: Can I restore the speed limit to 20mph after unlocking?
Yes, If you need to restore the speed limit back to 20 mph, press and hold the lock (🔒) button on the remote control until you hear two beeps. The speed limit will then be reset to 20 mph.
Q3: Will my battery range decrease after unlocking the speed limit?
Yes, unlocking the speed limit can reduce your bike’s battery range. Riding at higher speeds consumes more power, so expect shorter distances per charge compared to riding within the factory-limited 20 mph. To maximize battery life, plan your rides accordingly and ensure the battery is fully charged before high-speed rides.
Safety Guidelines
- Wear protective gear
After unlocking the speed limit, the bike will reach significantly higher speeds. Always wear a helmet and other necessary protective gear while riding.
- Test in a safe environment
After unlocking, test the bike in an open area free of traffic to get familiar with acceleration, braking, and turning performance.
- Gradually adapt to higher speeds
Do not ride at top speed immediately. Start at moderate speeds to get used to the bike’s response, then gradually increase.
- Longer braking distance
High-speed riding increases braking distance. Anticipate road conditions and maintain a safe distance.
- For beginners
It is not recommended for inexperienced riders to unlock the speed limit to avoid accidents.
- Battery management
High-speed riding consumes more battery. Ensure the battery is fully charged before rides.
