Pretty much the conclusion seems to be get a Wisper Wayfarer H9 or build a custom conversion if I want the derestricting option? I guess I'd be voiding the warranty on any other brand bike in general if I try to derestrict it. I might pop down to a local E-Bike dealership and ask them to try out a 15.5mph bike anyway to see what I should expect exactly. [mention=11305]soundwave[/mention] What is your bike mate? I'm curious after people mentioned it here. I've narrowed it down to the Wayfarer H9 without ever trying to derestrict, Haibike with a dongle derestriction or a custom conversion build... Not sure if this got easier or harder hah.

Also I guess my best choices might be the Wisper Wayfarer H9 or the HaiBike Sduro from what people here seem to have suggested of my choices. One final time I want to ask if anyone has any other good suggestions from something that's not on my list, or some other one from my list? I will make my choice today and buy it all today. Also would the WAU bike that I see advertised everywhere survive a bit of rough handling? I tend to like going down stairs sometimes lol. I will report back after I read a few more posts which will appear here with my choice and go and buy it! Thank you all again for the amazing support! I have considered what you all said very carefully and I myself am not sure why I would derestrict when I'd mostly ride it in people areas.

Thank you all for the replies! I'm thinking more and more of never derestricting and just going with the Wayfarer H9 and the good customer support. (Unless there are other suggestions) As long as the bike doesn't go against me on purpose past the cut off (motor working against me to limit my speed on purpose) and spins freely like a normal bike would then it seems like the best option. Ill just pedal harder if I need to get somewhere. My only worry was "the brick wall" being there on purpose and not allowing me to pedal harder. From what I understand it just stops the motor and leave the full bike weight for me to carry instead of making pedaling harder. I have no intention in causing harm or breaking the law that badly. I just didn't want to struggle against a motor which was working to stop me on purpose. I'm fine with a heavy bike.

Are you all saying that I should just forget about the derestricting and go with a normal bike? I'm just afraid it will not be future proof. There used to be these electric bikes on a subscription where I am and I i used to ride them all the time and pay a lot of money. Problem with them was that the restriction always triggered at certain point and made me pedal against the motor... It felt horrible. If I go with a bike such as the Wayfarer H9, if I exceed the 15.5 mph limit will it start working against me to keep limiting my speed to 15 5 mph? If I was able to use my own legs to increase the speed last the motor assistance after 15.5 mph then that would all be good. I just don't want it to go against me and try to slow me down to its "normal speed". I can definitely pedal myself more than 15.5...not if a motor is working against me or whatever ...

Fair enough. Is the Haibike a good option then? Regardless of the dongle I'd rather have a good and reliable bike. Which of the 4 options would be best and if none any other suggestions?

Even if I don't go for the derestricting in the end which one of the 4 do you think would fit more for my criteria? Or maybe some other one? It would be nice to have the option to have full speed but even without id rather have a good choice in my price range.

Hello guys, My name is Bogo and I found this forum while searching for the best e-bike for myself. I've spent 3-4 weeks deep searching and researching options and models and seem to be more lost than ever. Once I do find a bike though I'm sure I'm going to love it as I plan for it to be my main means of transport for the next few years. Durable Mountain/City Bike around £2000-3000. | Pedelecs - Electric Bike Community

Unfortunately when I tried to send the individual a message it said that they could not be contacted and never went through.

I read that thread but the user themselves seems to have disappeared without any information. By asking this I do not wish to anger anyone whatsoever! I understand it is completely on my head and I solely take responsibility for this! If I do end up getting the Wayfarer H9 I would do everything only for myself and will face any possible repercussions which may stem from this. I just really really like that bike and would love to be able to have it to its full potential, nothing more.

Hey guys, I really need some help in choosing my first E-Bike! I need something with the following requirements: 1. Suitable for long travel and commutes, as I travel between cities (60-80 km is best). 2. Powerful pushing motor to go up steep hills, as I live in a very hilly area with long steep hills and want to go up them with ease. 3. Rugged and durable frame like a mountain bike, as I tend to like adventuring and going down bumpy and very uneven terrain quite sporty which would rattle any bike. 4. Something comfortable for the bumpy adventure rides and long commutes. Mudguards and Back/Front Rack preferred. Budget: £2000-3000 The current ones I have stopped on after weeks of searching are: Wayfarer H9 Hub-Drive Crossbar | Wisper Electric Bicycles (wisperbikes.com) with Adventure Tires, Front Rack and 700W motor. Neomouv MOUNTAIN 2 28'' T47 630WH KAKI (neomouv.com) with 630W motor. ENDURO | Hikobike with 670W motor. Haibike | SDURO Trekking 3.0 | Trekking eBikes The current one which I really like and want is the Wisper Wayfarer H9. The only problem with it is that, if possible, I would like to remove the speed restriction on any bike/model I buy while taking full responsibility about that. The first 2 models in my list including the Wayfarer H9 are discouraging me as they have custom motors and I can not find any information about a way to derestrict them. The latter 2 in my list seem to have options about how to do this but I am not sure which one to choose. Would anyone be able to give me some guidance and advice on which one to get or possibly suggest any other models or bikes in my price range which fit my criteria? Having said that I fully understand the reproductions of me wanting to derestrict the speed on the bikes and I am willing to take the risks on my own head. Any bike suggestions would be very helpful even if they can not be derestricted. I just want a good choice in this price range! -Bogo

Is there any way to remove the speed restriction? I fully understand that the warranty would be void and that the bike would no longer be classed as an E-Bike. I would like to be able to do this taking the full responsibility upon myself and have this option. I understand that some bikes might need a special chip or controller to do so but I'm unable to find such a thing for the Wayfarer H9. I would go directly and try to do this myself by checking for any speed sensors but would like to ask before trying to tinker with it myself. If there is no way to go about this directly then I would have to open it up myself and try to find a way to do it. I am very certain that I'd like to have this option and take the responsibility on myself and want to go with Wisper rather than buying any other brand out there. I'm very keen on getting the H9 but if there is no option I might have to choose to buy another brand which I don't want. Its a very good bike.
