Hey. Can some expert tell me is that possible to unlock my bike?On flat terrain i can't be faster then normal bike. Even if i push hard to pedals i feel like something wont let me be faster:p. For sure its about speed limit. Maybe there is a chance to unlock it with some soldiering as i saw on this forum. for 99% it's brushless 250w bosh 36v. I bought it from second hand 2 years ago.

Soldering the shunt in the controller will only increase the power a little, it doesn't increase the speed.

That display thing on the handlebars is only a battery meter. It doesn't have any control function. If there's a way of releasing your speed limit. it's in that compartment under the battery. You need to show a photo of any wires from the controller that don't go anywhere, i.e, not to the motor, battery meter, pedal sensor or throttle.

It's in that compartment in your top photo. You have to take the side off.

You need to pull out the aluminium box so that we can see all the wires and connectors. The battery connector slides out sideways, which makes it a bit easier to get everything out when you slide it off with the aluminium box. Make sure you put it back the same way round.

Those two blue wires with something covered up by heat-shrink look very promising.

i can't move this aluminium box. Also i can see on last picture that one wire is cuted. Dunno why cause im not damage it for sure. I was doing it very slowly and carefuly. Is this pictures means anything for you?

There we go. Is there a screwdriver slot in that yellow bit on the end of the blue wires? If so, turning it adjusts the maximum speed. Get a friend to lift the back wheel and operate the throttle, while you turn the adjuster. You should see and hear the motor speed changing.

It's the same but the friend has to turn the pedals to make the motor go.

Alternatively, you can turn it fully one way, try it. and if slower, turn it the other way. don't apply too much force to the adjuster.

Well i do it with screwdriver and i turn it on max on right. But to be honest in home i can't feel or hear any speed changing. Also there is a little adjustment on this bolt.

EDIT: i was outside with bike. Hmm it's hard to describe but maybe but just maybe a little more speed but it can be just in my head. but anyway you help me a lot if i can repay to you let me know.

You won't get any extra power. the only thing that will change is the point at which the power to the motor is cut. There's a modification you can do to get a bit more power, but you need to know how to use a soldering iron.

Inside the controller is a piece of thick metal wire called the |shunt. You can add a bit of solder to one end, and it will cause the controller to give more power. You should not do it too much. About 25% of the length of the shunt is the maximum.:

You have to pull the aluminium box (controller) right out so that we can see all the connectors. If it has the empty connector, the answer is yes, otherwise you need to buy a new controller that has the throttle connector.
