Maybe not for the layman. I'd wager that there's one or two on here that could make it go faster, if they wanted too.
Not I though.
just another 5mph be nice thoughMaybe not for the layman. I'd wager that there's one or two on here that could make it go faster, if they wanted too.

Yeah I know. Mine does, and it makes a massive difference.
It's a kit bike though.
what electric bike you have?
This.. With this kit.

* - Please note: The default speed for this conversion kit is 15.5mph (25km/h). This speed limit can however be removed and increased to approx 19-20mph (30-32km/h) for off road purposes only.
And this..

I checked the link below which leads to the forum for the Carrera crossfire e and there are no answers relating to whether or not it can be derestricted. ive checked everything on the web relating to this particular bike and there is nothing relating to a solution for derestricting this bike so id like to ask you if you've obtained any information regarding this matter as id like to know how to derestrict too. there is a button on the left which allows the bike to drive at walking speed, so there must be a way of altering the software to allow that button to reach 15.5 mph

You should be able to use the derestrictor in the thread below, like I explained in it. You don't need anything other than the Arduino PCB (about £3) - no battery, switch, transistor,coil, etc. You find the speed sensor wire from the motor, cut it and join the motor side to pin 2 and the controller side to pin 12. Use any 5v and ground from the controller to power it.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to install it inside the controller box, so no complicated wiring.
If you want to be really clever, run a bridge through a reed switch and diode between pins 2 and 12 so that you can activate/deactivate it with a magnet.

Thankyou very much Leigh. from reading the manual is has sparked some ideas.
ive found something very interesting in the manual. theres something called a Push up support switch, which when pressed allows the bike to travel at 4-5 km/h. Now this is exactly what i hope to alter so that i can get 15km/h solely by using the switch so it acts as a throttle. Any ideas on how i could do this? would love to know as its something i definitely want to try
Im not technical but would love to hear from someone who has made this bike go faster
That seems quiet technical. There's a switch when pressed allows the bike to travel at 5kmh. I'm really curious as to how to break that limit and get it to do 15.5 kmh. This might not be as technical. The switch isn't controller by software so how would I break the 5kmh limit?
After having looked at it more thoroughly it definitely seems manageable. I owe it to your explanation, it was when I started reading through the forum from the link you provided that it seemed daunting.
Thank you very much for your help.
