Bypass Governor on a Daymak Monaco

[David Bont]

Hello, I have an old Daymak Monaco e-bike 48V and I would like to bypass or disable the speed limit, as where I live there is no law constrain to do this I would like if somebody could help me on how to do this!

Thanks folks, and safe riding.

Have you got a limiter adjustment lead like this, you can tweak the pot with a screwdriver and test. http://s192.photobucket.com/user/Forsaken84/media/Electric Moped 2KW Lithium/IMG_3589.jpg.html

Thanks!, I finally made it. It was a small white cable in the controller. Now the e-bike makes sense for me

what was the gain in speed?

 

[David Bont]

Really considerable, about 50%, bear in mind that the place where I live is flat. My Daymak Monaco is 48V, now I order a 60V controller and I plan to add a new battery to upgrade it.

Are you still running on the original SLA batteries or have you gone lithium?

 

[David Bont]

Yep, I am using 4 SLA batteries 12V 12ah , I checked for the Lithium but the price is the same I paid for the scooter. I am planning to upgrade it to 60V with an extra battery and a new controller, I know that is a different wire system and I will try. I have no experience or knowledge in electric circuits.

I might cost you more for the new controller and wiring for the 60v conversion than getting some lithium! Especially if you're not sure about the wiring.

 

[David Bont]

No! New controller, new converter and an extra-battery is half the price of a single Lithium Battery, plus, with 60V I´ll have more torque and more autonomy. I bought them from the Daymak page.

Do you have to upgrade your dashboard and throttle etc for the 60v or does the stock kit work ok with it?
