if it is a bosch motor you got +- 5% either way and you set this via the wheel size as used for different sized tyres.

tho if you get a bad ass dongle you can remove it in seconds ;) i ride past plod all the time and not interested.

That's interesting. How do I access the wheel size menu. Mine is 29er so what do I set it as? Thanks

May look into dongle for off roading;)

tbh i did mess about with mine but never got more than 1mph if that but try it as my bike has 650b wheels so might make more of a difference.

if you cant get in to the wheel size then a dealer can do it for you.

I take it I reduce the wheel size? Nothing higher than 29er :)

a light cable goes in to the motor for a front and rear light but it is default set to off.

a dealer can turn this on if wanted.

I had the the circumference of tyre reduced to lowest as I was told wheel size is fixed. It does feel slightly faster but cuts out same speed as before. Is that right?

you can change the wheel size but it will always cut out at 15mph ish as you just get to that speed faster.

I thought you get 1mph more as the wheel will need to rotate further to reach same speed. But because it has higher circumference in reality that means you get a bit more speed. If that makes sense :)

I feel I'm going faster even though I'm going at 15.6mph but it could just be in my head. Should have used sat nav to check speed before and after.

Has anybody tried rotating their wheel magnet around the spoke until it gets to the point of working intermittently? There must be some point at which pulses get skipped.

You can put a magnet in the pedal Allen key hole then move your sensor to pick up the magnet as the pedals rotate past. It will mess up any speedo but so do the dongles I have seen (a lot cheaper too).

That doesn't work anymore.
