Switching the controller will do the trick too though, right? Wouldn't want to **** off my mate by playing with the controller first then having it go wrong and me not having a spare controller about, you know.. Think I will order one, have to order them in advance anyways.

Haha, if anyone would want it to be a velomobile then that'd be pretty interesting too, although I figure it takes a special kind of people to (want to) operate those.. Like one of those bikes from Tron but with a cabine over them! Haha, that'd be pretty futuristic and I'm not going to lie...

By the way, it's only at a moment before the battery goes flat (blinking red light) that the bike starts to slow down, not any sooner.

The difference seems to be about $3, so I'd rather go for the better one even if it is a tad bit more expensive in this case. But basically what these devices will do is directly remove the restriction that the previous controller imposed on the system? Thank you by the way!

It could be as simple as that then? Thank you very much, D8veh! How could I actually identify the controller however? Edit: Nevermind, here we go! Thanks again :)

Yeah, it does, actually! Surprisingly enough, good thing though :) Here's a model of what I've been working on in sketch-up, based on a 2006 Kawasaki ZX 5R, althought my project will a lot more likely be based on something like an Aprilia RS50 with a bust engine or anything akin to that (or...

Thank you for bringing this up, as I've built my own moped without license before I had to go through this stuff before. Here's a link, although it might provide a tad hard to read for most here: http://www.rdw.nl/sites/igk/Paginas/Brommer-toelatingskeuring.aspx Basically what it comes down to...

It is one of those that you've posted a link of, D8veh, possibly a slightly different model but basically one of them. They are supposibly German-made.

Many thanks for your reply! It is a 36V 10Ah battery, could this essentially be the restrictor? The motor is supposibly 250watt however. Was quite hoping the battery shouldn't have to be replaced, as I'm very much so on a budget. Will have a browse through the thread.

Thank you! While I am a student I don't study anything fancy, just automotive engineering slightly above entry level, but hey I figured I'd start somewhere and seeing as I didn't want to be at school 24/7 for the time being it worked out just well since it allowed for only one day of school a...

A Prophete, got one available. Thank you for your reply! :) The specific pedelec is a Prophete by make, which category will it fall under? It will be my first project and I can't really afford to do it wrong however, unfortunately, so I am wondering if it is a very complicated process to those...

For experimental purposes, I would be interested in how exactly existing electric bikes and bike kits could be modified to allow higher top speeds? Nothing over 25mph, mind you, but just something to allow for a little bit more speed without completely draining the battery directly. I heard...

Hello everybody, I will keep this short but sweet; I am a student from the Netherlands who's interested in all sorts of electric vehicles. But primarily in creating an electric moped as of the moment, due to it being a realistic project with very promising potential results. Wanted to see if I...
