@Woosh The argument ist that it might *NOT* be compliant with all the norms, since the ability to change the maximum speed could be considered an offroad-switch. One of the definitions of 'switch' is: "a program variable which activates or deactivates a certain function of a program"

What specificly regarding my question would you call "Tampering with the label"?

Thank you very much for your assessment, everyone. Could you share your opinion on whether or not it would be illegal to run a 36V 250W motor at 48V, as long as I the speed to 15.5mph?

I assume his point is that they test and certify the whole bike as a complete system. And the LCD is part of that system.

Looks like a 'switch' is not just a physical switch.

So what about removing the Kunteng display from my handlebars? The controller can run without display when you short 2 wires of the display-connector.

Would you still consider it legal, when the motor has a "36V" engraving?

Well, if any of us have any kind of serious accident, the insurances will definitely have a very close look, because there is a lot of money involved and they don't like to pay tens or hundreds of thousands in compensation and repairs. I really don't want to ruin my financial future with...

Oh crap. I spent so much money on 250W components and now they are not even legal... :(

Pretty much every single DIY kit has some kind of setup process where you set the maximum speed. So you're saying that they are all illegal?

I was thinking of changing the max speed setting in my Kunteng controller setup (with the handlebar-display) - which is technically not an off-road switch.

Hello everyone. I'm currently using a 250W 36V Bafang G310 rear hub motor and a 25A controller that can do 36V and 48V. I'd like a bit more speed when going off-road and considering building a 48V battery but limiting it to 15.5mph when ON the road. Would the bike still be road-legal in...

Darren from BrightonEbikes seems to be very busy at the moment. He used to respond to message very quickly, but at the moment, no responses at all. So regarding extra running costs of a hub motor: am i correct to assume that the 100Nm torque middrive will wear out drive trains pretty quickly...

Thank you for the suggestions. I talked to a bike mechanic yesterday and he advised me not to buy a Bosch system for professional heavy duty use, because the repair-cost and general running cost would be to high. Although they are certainly a loot of fun! I also don't like the idea that i...

Tyvm for your help, but now we're back to 0. To everyone: Any other suggestions?

Oh, i just noticed this on the Woosh-website: "Please note that the BPM motor is marked 350W and NOT road legal." I definitely need something road-legal. Road-accidents are only a matter of time when you're riding 50+ miles per day and i don't want to be involved in an accident with an...

Thank you for your help. Since you're selling them: How reliable are BBS01b middrives for professional use? What kind of parts of the middrive do have to be replaced regularly?

Could you elaborate why you recommend the BPM front motor over something like the SWX02 48V rear motor? How reliable are BBS01 middrives for professional use?

Hey everyone! I work full-time as a cycle food courier for deliveroo. I work 6 days a week and average 60+ miles a day. I live in Brighton, so there are a lof of hills, some of which are 12%. I'm in the market for a new bike with DIY ebike conversion or prebuilt ebike. I don't really have...

Hello everyone. I came across the shop "BrightonEBikes" and they sell a "extra torque model" of the BBS01b. The seller emailed me "The BBS01B-ETM model has uprated internal components compared to the BBS01B (windings in motor side and capacitors / mosfets in controller side), allowing it to...
