I've had my A2B Kuo+ since April and have been generally happy with it, and have not done anything to modify it except replace the seat post for one with damping (the road quality varies around me).
The top speed is capped at 15-16mph, depending on the % charge of the battery, which is slower than I can pedal my mountain bike with off-road knobbly tyres.
I almost always find myself pushing hard above 15mph without assistance and it's just a bit annoying. It's a 20in wheel bike, so I'm not expecting 30mph, but something in the 18-20mph range seems realistic.
Shortly after buying the bike, I took the controller apart (glad I did as the mounting screws were barely clamping it in) and took some pictures. There is what appears to be a single jumper header with no jumper and no label. Can anyone suggest if it would be worth trying to see what happens if I put a jumper on this header?
Another annoyance is the throttle is gimped to 6mph which makes it essentially useless apart from maybe pushing it uphill (which I'd only do if I had a flat tyre). Any pointers on what to look for?
Here is the controller label:
(Note: the LCD display has "hidden" menus that allow the max speed (up to 40 or 45kmh), and volts/amps to be adjusted for each power level, but they don't have any noticeable effect when increased. Nor does adjusting the wheel diameter from 20in down to 16in.

I've added an arrow pointing to the jumper header and stars to the corresponding solder points.
