    I think more than having fun, is being safe. 25km/h it's too slow to ride on the street sharing a lane with cars and trucks. I try to avoid riding on the street because at that speed its dangerous, you become an obstacle and some people just dont care about your life. 45km/h for me its a good and safe speed for the rider and the motor

    I've been riding Shimano for years and getting my bike unlocked with these guys, and I've never once had an issue. It's so good. I'd never buy a bike I couldn't unlock, and these guys know their Shimano stuff!! Keep it up - you're changing lives for the better, and getting people back out into the great outdoors.

    Great video 👍
    I installed one of your chips in my e-gravel bike, with the Bosch gen 4 motor, at around 2000km. I recently hit 10,000km and have never had an error code. 90% of my riding is in eco and I NEVER turn the bike off. I let it count down and turn itself off.
    I also have two ebikes with the Bafang Ultra motors. Both have aftermarket controllers which bump the max watt output to 2200. Overkill for sure, but a ton of fun.

      What chip brand did yo install? And what Bosch system do you have? I'm looking forward to unlock my emtb, I have the performance line CX with the the first kiox. I read most of the problems people have with Bosch is with the smart system.

    Very understandable wanting a little more speed. I bought a legally regulated e bike and at 25kph cut off speed I am the slowest rider on my commute into the city. Very frustrating. Just 30kph would be delightful.

      if you ride in turbo nonstop it will overheat quickly. 2.9kg is just not a lot of mass to absorb 700W for very long. Worse, if mounted in a carbon frame and plastic motor covers, it will have very bad cooling through airflow or the lack of it, and poor heat transfer onto the frame.

      @@beetlebopter888 on climbs, many people ride in turbo all the time. the longer and steeper the climb, the more it will heat up, as the low speed doesn't provide any cooling air.

    Hi Guys another great video. I’m looking to de-restrict the tq motor of a Trek fuel exe9.5 and have watch your chip fitting video which made it look extremely straight forward.
    One question though not covered in this video is how the motor performs in speed and reliability after chipping.
    I ride a mixed surface route in the mid setting on mid power.
    Thanks. Keep out putting your great content.

    • @EpiceBikes

      So far there has been no reports of any errors while using the TQ Chips. Given its a low power motor I'd expect about 35-40km/h

    An unlocked Specialized Brose (2022 Turbo Kenevo) can overheat and shred the belt after about 30 min riding flat out with some steep climbs mixed in. Specialized could see the tire size was changed to 800mm in the software, which is out of the range you can change it to in their stock settings, and so they denied my warranty. I sent my motor out and had ebike motor repair install an upgraded belt, upgraded sprag, and upgraded bearings, which was about $900. I also have a 2019 Bosch CX Haibike, and I had no issues riding with it unlocked for a few years.

    Do not touch a bosch motor with a rim magnet if you're planning to derestrict. They are the absolute worst and you'll regret it.

    Just bought a 2023 Giant Reign E+. It has the SyncDrive Pro (85NM) and is restricted at 32km here in Canada. When you say it can be de-restricted via software how is that done. Bluetooth ? or need to hook some hardware to it? One last question, do you recommend to wait until warranty is done?

    • @EpiceBikes
      @EpiceBikes  2 місяці тому +1

      It's done via Bluetooth and the dongle shown in this video is required and quite difficult to obtain. Waiting for warranty to be over is personal preference most people that come to us do not.

    How did you miss the Pinion electric motor/gears?

    • @EpiceBikes
      @EpiceBikes  2 місяці тому

      We focused on motors that can be unlocked, Given the Pinion is very Niche and currently not available in our location there is no way to unlock this motor at the moment.

    For Shimano can you reinstall factory software if you need to claim under a warranty. Also do you do work in the USA?
