    Yes it does

    increase volts, how and what will this do.

    Thanks very much. Exactly what I was looking for. With just that little bit of soldering how many more amps did this give you? Also was it very noticeable on the bike and in what situations?

    increase volts, how and what will this do.

    Also how will I know how far I can go without killing anything? If I solder 20% and it feels good can I solder the whole thing? Bigger and bigger. Can of worms me thinks.

    Sorry, what do you mean by 20% of its length? Total noob here. If I find the shunt do you mean put globs of solder 20% across its length making it much fatter on that bit? If so how big a glob should it be. Sorry for being thick.

    I will test and find out the voltage, I'll have to try and find a volt meter somewhere :) Yes, sorry, it is a lipo pack.

    increase volts, how and what will this do.

    Brill, I think I understand now. I'm starting to think now that rather than spending loads of money to get higher topend the best thing to do would be to do a free mode and do something to the shunt (what ever that is lol). Is there a limit to how far I can go or is it a fixed amount or.. I...

    increase volts, how and what will this do.

    OK cool. So if I bought a different controller and decided to stay at 36v but more amps, would this keep the topend the same but more torque? Also with a new controller would I still be able to use my display? Is it all plug and play to a new controller?

    increase volts, how and what will this do.

    Thanks very much for your detailed reply. I'm still unsure what is actually limiting the top speed. I think I have exhausted the display controller by playing with all of the settings which didn't seem to affect the speed. I'm a total noob when it comes to these bikes lol. I do have lots of...

    I've got a bafang rear hub motors rated at 36v 250w. I'm interested in this add on http://www.bmsbattery.com/111-12v Adding this to my 36v battery I will get 48v. Is this all I need to do or will I also have to change the controller which is rated to 36v. If so can you recommend one please...

    15mph speed limit

    Perfect garyten, thanks very much. From reading those instructions I got in to the speed settings of the controller but it's already set to Max 40kph but tops out at 25-27kph with no assistance after that speed. . Strange. I have adjusted the wheel size but although the speedo reads faster and...

    15mph speed limit

    Just come back from a 10 mile round trip as there was a break in the weather and I got to say I love this bike lol. Awesome. Would be that little bit more awesome if I could remove the speed limit lol.

    It has speed in kmh on the display. It's a geared bafang 250w rear hub motor.

    15mph speed limit

    OK thanks for your reply. Pics attached. Pressing m and + together gives me the first picture, selecting y then holding m give me an option to enter a code. I have tried a couple that I have found online but none work.. Any ideas? I have tried 2007 2008 2009 Thanks very much for your help.

    15mph speed limit

    I have contacted them but they said that it would damage the motor if it went above this speed. Most probably just protecting themselves for the 2 year warranty and the law which is fair enough on their side. I love this bike and am gutted that it is raining today and can't go out :-(

    Bikes with throttles?

    They do have a few dealers across the UK but your better off speaking to volt bikes directly, they are really helpful. I bought my bike direct and they delivered it to my local bike shop to be built up all at their expense. Apparently my bike will be featured on the gadget show in October .

    Bikes with throttles?

    Thanks, tbh it's the first electric bike I have ridden but I love it. I have only taken it out twice so far (only had it a week) but both times were very hilly terrain (live in wales) for 12 miles and only used 25% battery. The claimed range is 80 miles from the 16 ah lipo pack.

    Bikes with throttles?

    If on flat surface throttle will take you right to the 15mph limit, if I can figure out how to remove the limit it would take you way above. Pedal assist gives instant power after about half a pedal turn and depending on the setting (1 to 5) determins the power. It's really cool. Also bike...
