I assume you are referring to the charging current when you quote 2amps , the average discharging current when driving the motor will be 8 to 10 amps. If it were restricted to 2 amp the maximum power would be a paltry 72watts.

Hi thanks for reply I am really not very good at this it said rated output torque 40nm

A pic of the bike showing the motor and the control panel on the handlebars would give everyone a better idea.

It looks like a nice bike. I son't think there's much you can do to speed it up as your motor is only 195 rpm, assuming 26" wheels.

Presumably it's one of these:

Someone might know if there's a command to derestrict the 15mph speed limit.

That's right wheel size it is a good looking bike but was told I could bypass speed limiter ???

Hi rob in the manual under control panel info it said st2 and reset to 40 km which I did but nothing happened very frustrating

St2 – alter the speed limit by pressing the up and down buttons. Press the mode button M to confirm your choice. ᘐ NOTE: the speed limit for electric bikes in the UK is 15.5 mph (25 km/h)

Hi, have you tried this in the correct manner? Does it adjust the speed higher than 15.5 mph? If it does, did you then save it by pressing the M button for 2 seconds?

 

[Chris sawyer]

Hi Leigh yes I've tried that but made no difference !!

 

[LeighPing]

Hi Leigh yes I've tried that but made no difference !!

How high did you save it?

 

[Chris sawyer]

It goes from 12 up to 40 so saved at 40 but made no difference annoyingly If only that simple

Have you tried a lower number. 29 kmh (18 mph)?

 

[Chris sawyer]

I saved at 32 as well but still made no difference

I've asked them this, on their facebook page.

"I would like to increase the speed of my Westhill Ghost ebike, for off-road use. Can this be done and, if so, how?
Many thanks
Leigh"

Let's see what they say..

 

[Chris sawyer]

Thanks very much for that hopefully hear with good news
